  I’ve rocked a JIS phillips for years, and it works better on ‘regular’ phillips screws than a standard driver does. I’ve actually used that to salvage a screw that was damned near stripped by a standard driver. I stilil have to use my extraction set more often than not when that happens, but it has saved me a few times.

  Health insurance in this country is absolutely fucking stupid… I went with the HDHP this year after trying the ‘premium’ option from my workplace last year, and holy fuck, the HDHP actually costs LESS than paying for the higher tier plans. It’s fucking awful that I have to pay 10k before my shit is covered, but I still spend less overall on this plan.

  Ah, yes, the Derp State, the right’s favorite villain next to anyone not a WASP

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A true prophet⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was really worried that this was going to end with “I don’t like them because they got political” and I’m glad it didn’t.

  I wish I could say that it was just a meme, but I’ve literally had conversations where I have had to ask some brainless chud what machine he thought they were raging against, or what forces they thought might have been the ones burning crosses.

  So you have any idea how many fucking things include corn byproducts? Almost all of them.

  My partner has a coconut and vinegar allergy, I can sympathize

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chef⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly think that a lot of recipes are written for people who just don’t like things that have a lot of flavor

  Did you appeal the denial? The automatic system will deny it if it’s outside of the approved window, but I had support override in the past for games that rug pulled.

  If you hold a yellow onion and a white onion side by side, it’s actually yellow(ish)

  “need to” and “intelligent business strategy” don’t have to be the same thing.

  Sure, they could just find it themselves with the money that SpaceX paid them for fucking yo their land. Or they could do that while also offering people to pay a pittance to join in the fun and further dig the knife into Elon to show how many people hate the sad little bitch with no friends. And, you know, the free publicity from making fun of said sad little bitch.

  Yep! Thought Emporium posted a video where he showed off the techniques that humans could have used if the aliens never returned their calls.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wow. okay. Didn't need to go that hard.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Backhanded compliments like that can be fun.

  I worked for a community college for a few years, and we had pretty high turnover in our department, and they had a rather strict ‘no rehire’ policy for people having worked there (so new people could come in and learn too), and it was always funny overhearing my manager explain that for everyone, but the positives he gave after were night and day. For good techs he’d tout their actual abilities, but for the trogs, they’d get something like good attendance or always on time. The sorts of answers that are technically true and a positive quality, but the person on the other end hears ‘this dude sucks and this is the best I can say about him’.

  You can say that but I remember Fukushima. The damage causes by the Fukushima meltdown cost more than the power company’s total profits in Japan over the previous 40 years.

  And it’s a mistake that will never happen again, as this accident immediately triggered a ton of retrofitting across the nuclear reactors in use specifically to cover the eventuality that Fukushima showed us.

  Now compare Fukushima to the ongoing effects of fossil fuel plants, and the deaths caused. What do you think caused more deaths, Fukushima, or stopping all nuclear plants in the country? This paper argues that the shutdown caused an increase in mortality (people freezing to death over winter due to 40% higher energy costs) ultimately killing more people than radiation exposure (emphasis mine):

  To put these estimates in context, we calculate that the higher electricity prices resulted in at least an additional 1,280 deaths during 2011-2014. Since our data only covers the 21 largest cities in Japan, which represents 28 percent of the total population, the total effects for the entire nation are even larger. Meanwhile, the number of deaths due to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident is much lower. No deaths have yet to be directly attributable to radiation exposure, though projections estimate a cumulative 130 deaths (Ten Hoeve and Jacobson 2012). An estimated 1,232 deaths occurred as a result of the evacuation after the accident.7 Therefore, the deaths from the higher electricity prices likely outnumber the deaths from the accident in only four years if we extrapolate our estimates to the entire country, and almost certainly outnumber the deaths over a longer time period given that the higher electricity prices persisted beyond the end of our study. This suggests that ceasing nuclear energy production has contributed to more deaths than the accident itself.

  I never take it to the pavement, since that’s itch city, but a regular hair trimmer with the 1/2 guard has sufficient for me.

  The only woosh here is you thinking you’re doing anything other than cringeposting a lame meme that wasn’t funny 20 years ago.

  Rot in piss chuck, you’re finally as dead as your lame ass meme. At least now Bruce Lee can finally kick your ass again.

  I don’t remember anyone telling me that bilbo was the son of God, so I think we can hold different yardsticks here.

  Computers are fucking weird.

  Back in the dark ages of late 90s/early 00s computing, I figured out that I could reliably crash a computer with a c++ script that printed char 7 (system bell) in a while loop, but if I added a semicolon in the next line the system would be fine.

  It was fun putting the first exe as the shortcut on lab computers, as people would be sooooooo confused when their computer spazzed out and beeped at them at an ever slowing cadence.

  it not pee

  Lol, I’ve had multiple squirters try that line with me, but they can never come up with another fluid that would be likely to come out in that quality.

  Like, it’s fine, I’ll put a pet blanket on the bed and no harm, no foul. But don’t lie to me lol
