  Well yeah, otherwise you would have needed another box and who had money for that?

  My dad an en excellent 24" Panasonic he got a few years agter he died. We moved it across the Midwest 6 times from 95-2010 until we finally replaced it with a 42" led after moving to Kansas City. So my brother and i got to take it downstairs and play Halo Reach and Black Ops on it. They might have been heavy and a bitch to move, but they were awesome TV’s that could take a beating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Latitudes⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Gibraltar is about the same latitude as the Virgina/North Carolina state line. So southern Europe essentially ends halfway down the US Eastern seaboard

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Latitudes⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I like to point out that New York to LA os essentially the same distance as Moscow to Lisbon, while Seattle to Miami os about the same as London to Baghdad. That’s why St. Louis was the furthest west MLB team until the 50’s. The logistics for US sports are insane

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Latitudes⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Which way? Because it gets incredibly hot in the Canadian prairie. There is no body of water to regulate temperature so the summers can get serious heat waves while the winter is absolutely frigid. Granted, Edmonton is still considerably further south than Stockholm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Latitudes⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That actually really fucked up the first French attempts to settle the St. Lawrence river. They knew it was a similar latitude as Paris so they were completely unprepared for their first winter in Quebec City.

  You were up late last night because your kid was sick, but you still had to be up at 5:30 to take your other kid to day care before driving an hour to work. You get to the office and it looks like your computer had an update last night and so you need to verify your login credentials. You’ve been on about 4 hours of sleep a night for the past week and just want to get on with your day.

  People are overworked and exhausted, so stuff like that is bound to work on someone

  Applesauce is a pretty standard substitute for oils when baking. My mom eould always use it when making brownies.

  I have lived in one apartment as an adult with a dishwasher.

  They have atrict time lines for delivery. Some apartment buildings are an absolute maze, and others have highly restricted access to the living spaces.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am lucky if i have $300 in my bank account after all my expenses each month, and i live in a cheap town working a 9-5 job. I have no health insurance and have had to cash out multiple 401k’s to cover emergency expenses in the past 4 years. Saving for the future is an absolute joke since i can’t even afford to live today.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Back when i had jobs that had 401k plans, all the calculators said i needed over $1 million to retire at age 70. Meanwhile i was living paycheck to paycheck trying to put something in there. How tf am i supposed to squirrel away 7 figures when i have mever made $40,000 in a year?

  Why use a ratio of the length of the Earth? Why not the Moon? Or the Sun? Or Mars?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There was no need to ever improve upon THIS⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I live in Northern Ohio 40 minutes from Lake Erie. We have COLD winters here with wet air. Plus, my shitty soft top VW Bug with a busted window lets in more than enough cold air

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There was no need to ever improve upon THIS⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You know you can adjustt the temperature AND air flow, right? You can blast the air to accelerate to the desired temperature and then dial back on the air flow and temperature to keep the car actually pleasent. I only say this because i have a friend who cranks the heat full blast in the winter and then rolls down his windows while still max blasting the heating! Dude has serious brain worms.

  Labour has been an effectivly useless party since Blair took over. The modern leadership doesn’t realize that their ideas are wildly unpopular and thatcthe only reason they have power is because the Tories literally destroyed the British economy. Labour is dead and will only have themselves to blame when Farage takes over in the next general election.

  Drug store literally made up the shoplifting spree to try and cover for piss poor sales reports.

  So the heater takes all energy you put into it and turns it into heat at a 100% efficiency

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fight me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What happens when photons emittes from the heater hit items in the room? That energy is imparted into the object, heating it up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fight me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Light is just heat energy

  Pretty sure the Catholic Church was collecting money from across Europe to build oppulent fortresses and cathedrals way earlier than the 50 years ago

  Erections are almost an entirely cardiovascular response. Blood flows in and it has a difficult time coming out until the penis is chock full of blood and stiff as a board.
