Park Street. Doors open on both sides.

It’s not sustainable. Our generation isn’t having kids, hell we aren’t even having houses.
There will not be enough workers to support us in old age.
I honestly do not see any way for SS to last another 25 years.
- Comment on A fossil-fuel plant seeing nuclear coming... 22 hours ago:
Oil and coal are cheap because its cost doesn’t include externalities…which in itself is a form of subsidy.
If we subsidized nuclear the same way, we could build plants faster and have cheaper energy.

- Comment on Love Wins 1 day ago:
It has the advantage of being easily made in an emergency situation.
Idk, I think it’s a worthwhile thought exercise to know the wrong ways to do something, in case the situation ever arises where you need to.

Would that only happen if one outlet were wired backwards (hot to neutral and vice-versa)?
If both outlets are wired correctly, as I’m envisioning it, the extension cord is parallel to the existing branch.
Same if both outlets are wired (the same) incorrectly.
But if one outlet is wired correctly and one has its poles swapped, then you are shorting hot directly to neutral…
But also being a 3-prong outlet…assuming everything is wired correctly…the short would either be redirected to ground and either trip the breaker or trigger a GFCI…no?
IANAElectrician. Just a high dude thinking about circuits.

The lovely suicide cord.
Worth mentioning that it is plenty safe…if used appropriately (for attaching a generator to a house that doesn’t have an inlet).
It’s when it’s not used appropriately that’s a problem. And it’s very easy to not use it appropriately.

Dude I’m a milennial, I already accepted the fact that I’m not getting any benefits.
I’m 41 now. I have a funny feeling that in the next 25 years, the retirement age will go up, and the number of people living long enough to collect it will go down.

Listen, they only told me to clean the sink. Didn’t say shit about the dishes.

Listen, Valve promised me a cake, and it turned out to be a lie.

I’ve got sciatica in one of my legs. Not bad enough to justify a handicap spot (although those never have a cart coral near them), but bad enough that some days it is, actually, very painful to walk. Especially the walk back from the coral, where I don’t have the cart to lean on.
In fact, I often appreciate when people don’t put a cart away, and I can find a stray cart on the way to the store.
I still put the carts away when I’m done, with one exception: this fucking Dollar Tree near me, where their carts are all absolute shit to begin with and there’s one cart coral and no parking spots anywhere near it. I park against an embankment under some trees where there is always space and shade.
Usually there’s already a cart there waiting for me. When I’m done, I leave it pushed up against the embankment, back wheels on pavement, front wheels on grass, so it can’t roll back into the lot, and right in between the parking spots so it is easy to retrieve by the next customer.

Psychological hack…make sure the fruit bowl is front-and-center. Like first thing you see when you walk in the kitchen. Keep it visually tidy and stocked with fresh fruit.
You’ll be drawn to it before reaching into the cupboard for a junk food snack. Which is another important psychological hack…don’t keep junk food out in the open.

He intentionally moved that couch there to be in his frame. He wanted his dog in his background. It’s directly in front of that door, blocking a narrow walking path, in an otherwise well-kept home. I doubt that he lives with that there everyday.
Not sure why, I can’t get my dog or kids out of my office fast enough when I’m on a video call.
- Comment on Why do some fruit produce human compatible hormones? 1 week ago:
Why do people make fun of “soy boys” because phytoestrogen, when dairy milk is literally mammal hormone soup?

There are more people eating sharks than there are sharks eating people.
- Comment on Fat bastard for president 1 week ago:
It’s kind of sad that we are joking about this…
Like, really, making light of it is exactly what they want. This type of shit needs to be treated seriously.
Memes like this only serve to desensitize us to the dark reality.
This is, quite literally, pro-MAGA propaganda, intended for anti-MAGA audience. To diffuse us.
- Comment on Fat bastard for president 1 week ago:
This is Fat Bastard, a character played by Mike Myers in the Austin Powers franchise.
- Comment on If you had procreated with an opposite-sex clone and produced a child, would that child also be a clone? 1 week ago:
So you’re telling me that somewhere in my biological code is my mom’s tits. And if I just take some estrogen, I can have my mom’s tits?
- Comment on The way Walmart delivered my son’s new backpack 1 week ago:
Lighter fluid works well for taking care of that.
Just pour it on the Walmart and light a match.
- Comment on Police HATE this one weird trick 1 week ago:
As a queer guy I could see playing with the phrase that way, much like how my friends call each other the F word,
My wife used to work with a guy like that, in a supermarket chain.
Around Christmastime he says to my wife…“You’ve heard of elf on the shelf? Well how about…”…and just stopped there, and straddled a long, thin loaf of French bread.
My wife, being the type of ally who would never use that word, just kinda stared at him blankly. She didn’t get it.
Meanwhile when she told me this story I nearly keeled over laughing. Not because of the joke but just because of her reaction to it.

These people literally think their shit don’t stink.
My god. This administration couldn’t be more on the nose if their noses were literally browned.

This looks like a great core workout but someone tell me how this is insanely easy.
Also before it loaded I thought she was off-road unicycling which I feel would be just as difficult.

Tbf Taron makes an excellent Elton.
I gotta wonder if his role as Johnny (the gorilla) in Sing is what led to him as Elton in Rocket Man.

They are not exaggerating.

Buckle up my man. Remember how shit programming got during, and then following, the writers guild strike? How many shows just…could not recover?
Imagine if the writers were to strike again. They’d be replaced with AI scabs in a heartbeat.
