- Comment on US Elections question: Bernie Sanders said that the Democrats abandoned the working class, and the working class abandoned them. How is this true? 1 month ago:
Yep you’re wrong on 1. “The Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes Division of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters had asked railroads for seven days paid sick leave following the rejection of its contract earlier this month. Another union, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, rejected its contract in September in respect of other unions negotiating for additional benefits, though eventually voted to ratify”
- Comment on US Elections question: Bernie Sanders said that the Democrats abandoned the working class, and the working class abandoned them. How is this true? 1 month ago:
I get what you are saying but it still isn’t the complete story. Yes he didn’t let them shut down a major pillar of our economy and at that time forced them to take an agreement that was basically everything they wanted except for off time. But his admin spent the months after getting those concessions from the railroads. The IBEW even thanked the admin for their work. He supported many other labor unions right to strike without interference.
- Comment on How much should I expect to pay to have 40 feet of fence installed? 2 months ago:
I’m assuming you’re in the US, look up the prices for vinyl fence on home Depot or Lowe’s website. They have pre build items for that type of fence. I would 2-2.5x your material estimate to account for labor, markup, and misc items that are needed. Removal and haul away of a chain link depends on what it looks like now. All in I would guess $4-5k if there isn’t much custom work.

Damn and I just started ripping the Blu-rays that I bought a few months ago.
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 8 months ago:
I’m going to estimate 99% of recipes in the US don’t give weights for those. It will say one large onion or 3 medium zucchini. There are a few places (serious eats) that tend to give weights but it’s extremely rare. If you’re lucky you’ll get volumes but weights are so rare.
- Comment on What's the vaporization temperature of mouse urine? 8 months ago:
Look into ozone generators or ozium air fresheners. Ozone generators sanitize without heat and help reduce odors but might be expensive and take a long time to be effective (hours to days). Ozium air fresheners absorb the odor and they got the gasoline smell out of my car, no idea how they work but you just leave them in your car.
- Comment on STEM 9 months ago:
Oh man the university ptsd as an engineer. I once asked a physics prof at what width does the split slot experiment break down, she couldn’t understand the question. All the other engineering students were nodding their heads in agreement with the question and tried to explain the question in a different way, still no idea what we were asking.
