I know it’s going to last a long time because the old lady said they used it everyday and it still looks practically new
- Comment on Why are laptop adapters so much larger than phone adapters of same power rating? 1 month ago:
Basically ‘duty cycle’…same reason electric heaters all put out 1500W but ones for larger rooms are ‘larger’. Big or small, they both put out 1500W, but the small ones can only do it for a few minutes at a time before having to cool off, while the larger ones can run for longer and heat up a big room more quickly.
- Comment on If I was a secret immortal how long could I keep the same US ID for before I get taken away for study. I'm thinking 150 years. 2 months ago:
Isn’t that just a different way of answering the question though? Do you think 60 years is the answer but don’t want to say that?
- Comment on Trump Forced To Cancel Rally After Biden Admin Denies Protection 2 months ago:
The political parties have absolutely nothing to do with democracy. They are literally fundraising organizations with 0 accountability, and the only reason they get special attention like primaries is because their candidates tend to win elections and make policy.
There is absolutely no reason for them to hold ‘elections’ internally aside from the theater of it… They could 100% legitimately throw a dart at a dartboard or read tea leaves to pick their candidate if they want. Crying about how the ‘other side’ didn’t do it how your side did is silly and disingenuous at best, and more likely just talking points to regurgitate.

The DNC and RNC are organizations, there’s no reason outside of organizational preference for them to hold votes… They could flip a coin for all ‘voters rights’ are concerned. They are literally just fundraising organizations that pick someone to throw money behind.
Party affiliation, for all intents and purposes, shouldn’t even be listed on the ballots and the only reason they are is because the two parties realize splitting the country is a better way to raise funds than any amount of policy or good intentions.
- Comment on Which are the lesser-known movies that are well worth seeing? 2 months ago:
Well, yeah, as a horror fan it’s likely a little too spoofy to be terribly engaging, but it sounds like you might specifically be ‘not’ a fan of that.
If it’s never occurred to you to label yourself a horror fan, but kind of like movies in general, you’ll probably get a kick out of it.
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 3 months ago:
Because Democrats want someone who will run the country and Republicans just want someone who will maintain their minority control. We are concerned for the country, they are scared for their very existence and self reflection itself is dangerous for their existence. Basically self reflection is necessary for what Democrats want to do, and it fatal for what Republicans want. So we do it, and Republicans avoid it at all costs. We get a Kamala who we hold to a high standard, they get a Trump who can punch them in the face and they’ll still support him because of the party.
- Comment on Francis Ford Coppola: ‘Megalopolis’ cast purposefully includes ‘canceled’ actors 3 months ago:
I think he’s always had a problem trying to break out of his childhood nerd acting personal and just wildly overdoes it… Kind of like those guys who intentionally deepen their voice and walk with their arms out a little like their biceps are a little too big… He’s even mimiced that in movies before, but then unconsciously goes back to doing effectively the same thing unironically a few seconds later.
