That would be the hot tub and in a lot of places, they’re adults only (or often 16+)… the kids would get the shaft.
- Comment on Why do a lot of frozen salmon thawing instructions say to remove the salmon from the individual wrappers before thawing? 1 week ago:
Chest freezers also don’t lose nearly as much cold air when opened compared to upright.

RMTs often work alongside physiotherapists in a practice. If that’s where you end up, there might be a perk of after-hours PT sessions to keep your joints in shape. If not, then engaging the services of a physiotherapist a couple times a year can definitely help.

Good example of outfits sending signals.
Slacks and a button-up probably made you look like management just out picking up slack, and people subconsciously left you alone - “oh, they’re probably really busy with management stuff and also had to go shelve books… I’ll leave them alone”
Casual clothes in contrast would have signalled “worker” - “I’ll just go ask that person, it’s not like they’re doing anything important, they’re just shelving books!”

Heavy tariffs, I presume?
Not likely, just campitalism doing it’s thing. If people buy it at ~$1 each, they’ll sell it for that, and try to raise the price again next year.

You’re paying for time, that’s the most expensive part of all restaurant food. Time in employees wages, time in the building’s rent cost, and so on. The coffee beans are probably the third lowest costing part of the cup of coffee, just above the water and electricity.
- Comment on Rich people don't understand us at all. 2 weeks ago:
These robots are aiming for far more intricate work and have a severe lack of access to training data.
I’ll bet that all the data being harvested by smart glasses is now going to train those models. Basically it provides a first-person view of someone doing stuff with their hands all day, walking around, talking, etc.
- Comment on The Obama wing of the Democratic Party is declaring “war” on progressives. Why don’t they ever bring this energy against Trump? Why do they hate working class people even more? 4 weeks ago:
you probably voted for Trump at least once.
or at the least, not against at least once.
- Comment on Is there a reason why toilets are made out of one of the most resonating materials possible while also being made in a shape that makes a small fart sound like a damn trombone? 4 weeks ago:

- Comment on Are you too young to remember these? 5 weeks ago:
“created” and “in mainstream use” are two different things… composite video has been around for a very long time, but composite video on consumer electronics really only started to get popular maybe starting in the late-80’s. I worked at a Radio Shack in the early 00’s and was still explaining to people how to use it because their old VCR only had coax and they used it on channel 3 or 4. The fact that “just match the colours” was so confusing to these people was … well… yeah.

I’m glad this is one of them
- Comment on Why is gun violence lower in Switzerland than in the US? 1 month ago:
120.5/100 == 1.205, it’s the exact same number expressed differently. However, 1.205 implies that everyone has at least one firearm, which is not true. 120.5/100 implies that if you go to 100 random people and count all their guns together, you’ll end up around 120 guns on average.
- Comment on Philosophy has peaked. Checkmate atheists 1 month ago:
Weird from a cultural perspective where any sort of non-medical interference with a corpse is frowned upon, so we’re trained from a very young age to find any of that stuff icky/morbid. Other cultures may not have that same aversion.
Kinda in the same vein as we in North America have a very conservative opinion on being naked in public where other cultures couldn’t care less.
- Comment on Philosophy has peaked. Checkmate atheists 1 month ago:
So then if I consent to someone fucking my corpse after I’m gone, it becomes morally OK for them to do it.
- Comment on "it only takes one slow walking person in the grocery store to destroy the illusion that you're a nice person." 1 month ago:
Same people that come to a dead stop in an entryway.
- Comment on The store that sells them is not dumb enough to use them 1 month ago:
It takes me a fraction of the time to sweep/vacuum/mop the floor compared to my robot, but the difference is the robot takes a fraction of my time since I can start it and let it run with the odd bit of maintenance and sometimes rescuing it when it gets trapped or sucked up something it shouldn’t.
It’s not a panacea, I still have to ensure that the area is fully clean except for the sweeping and mopping portion. However, as long as I keep up on that part, I can let the robot run overnight and have clean floors in the morning.

“best friends who slept in the same bed probably because it was cheaper to have only one bed”

That’s been the case for about as long as corporations have existed.
- Comment on Do you think that Trump is the most hated U.S. president? 1 month ago:
Trump is evil and stupid, someone worse would be evil and smart, and there’s plenty of those around.
- Comment on Before the revolution 2 months ago:
There are large areas of the US where simply taking a bus is impossible without also having to drive a long distance to the nearest station. There’s also the fact that it’s a pretty sizable country, so someone in SoCal or thereabouts is looking at a multi-day trip if they’re not flying, which then adds the cost of hotels, cabs to/from the hotel if the stop has no transit nearby, etc.

Trucks in general, the ridiculous shit people have said to me because they see me getting in/out of my truck, and their face when I tell them off is something else.

Given the amount of hate a certain purple-coloured-username person gets around here, this statement is quite accurate.
- Comment on Engine auto-off 2 months ago:
yeah, I just anticipate when traffic will start moving and let off the brake enough that it starts but doesn’t roll a couple seconds before I think I’ll need to go

Something about someone the size of a fridge being able to outrun most amateur athletes can be a little unsettling for sure.

Not to mention many of them are easily as big as the sumo wrestlers.

Every bunker will be built by people who won’t be invited to live in it. The locations of all exits, vents, water supplies, etc. won’t stay secret for very long.
