Came here to make sure someone had added this. Got mine in '99, it’s still hooked up to my main TV today. I have a spare too.

I have always simply refused to memorize anything.
- Comment on earth, fire, water, wind - it's not hard 11 hours ago:
Yeah this is exactly why I mentally checked out of chemistry. Memorization was being pushed harder than conceptual understanding.

- Comment on don't tell the cable company about the splitter 1 week ago:
I still have a TV exactly like this I keep around for my NES. My N64 is always connected to my main TV.
- Comment on don't tell the cable company about the splitter 1 week ago:
I had a 32" and it had a flat screen meaning the glass wasn’t curved but it wasn’t thin. It was also higher res than 480p, it was a transitional model before flat screens rolled out. It weighed 160lbs! I was moving it carrying it by myself and has to rest it on my thighs for a few seconds. They were bruised for a week.

Well I’m someone else in Ohio and I want that shirt.

Honestly we’re probably way too late to stop that from happening. That’s been part of Elon’s plans for a long time. Battery power, robot tech, space technology. And Elon isn’t the only player eyeing what’s out there.

I keep reading about how they don’t have enough helium supply. Is everything fake news?
- Comment on Is lemmy dying? 3 weeks ago:
Lemmy has lost that funny spark and energy, but it’s because of the weird niche user base. Other platforms don’t all have this problem.
- Comment on At this point it might be the wisest decision 3 weeks ago:
The Bible says that the time of Jesus’ return will be like the time of Noah when everything was shit. But instead of flooding it, the next time will be destruction by fire. The rainbow was just a promise not to flood it all again. But it gets better after that! That’s my paraphrase version.

That makes complete sense and I can see it. However I still stand by the body of the vehicle in the sketch looking more like a Crosstrek. I bought one for my wife but we had a situation where we needed to switch cars for the last year, so I’ve been looking at one a lot more recently.
- Comment on The amazing world of tomorrow 4 weeks ago:
That looks like a Crosstrek at the end. Is Subaru working on self-driving cars? Maybe this really is the reality of the future.

I had shitty American school French when I went to Paris and I did my best, and nearly everyone said they didn’t speak any English which I knew was a fucking lie. I have since decided not to speak French. I’ve still got Dutch, German, Korean and a little bit of Norwegian on top of English. France is the only country in Europe I don’t want to visit again. Rural France was better but I still don’t plan to go back.
- Comment on Why not just move to a gated community 5 weeks ago:
There is also more legal protection from trespassing. It isn’t illegal to be on a public road or sidewalk in a neighborhood you don’t live in, and you can’t be trespassed unless you commit a crime. If the road and sidewalk are privately owned they can tell you to leave for any/no reason.

Hey thank you for your opinion. I disagree. I don’t mind at all that you express your opinion. But everyone has preferences. I’m really comfortable with mine. You can have yours, and mine remain unchanged.
- Comment on Cope 1 month ago:
I agree that men without beards aren’t masculine men, but I find absolutely nothing about shaved dudes attractive. I like a bush on pussy too, though. I’m all about natural. Plastic surgery, or too much makeup, too much shaving, all of that is a turnoff.

I have had a vasectomy, but I don’t have sex anymore so is that a double negative and I’m about to birth millions of new lives?

- Comment on Great Depression: Part Deux 1 month ago:
I think usage is regional. Although I’ve never lived in a region where anyone actually used the term wieners. I’ve heard franks used sometimes. But mostly it’s brats, sausages or dogs. Brats are only bratwurst. Dogs are only hot dogs, it doesn’t matter what kind of meat or even vegan, but it’s unseasoned. Sausages are any other seasoned meat in a casing.
- Comment on grocery shopping 1 month ago:
Yeah we have a place around the corner called the market where people shop for free. You can only shop twice a month tho.

It’s just as simple as that
- Comment on Landlords are parasites 1 month ago:
No, it’s more of a testament to how car-dependent our area is. You can live without a house, but you can’t live without a car, or access to someone who will drive you. Housing here is comparitively affordable.
- Comment on Landlords are parasites 1 month ago:
I work with a lot of homeless, and I have known a few who have rented a car in a pinch. But you’re right, most just have an old beater they own.
- Comment on Landlords are parasites 1 month ago:
In my area, the majority of homeless have cars. A car rental can be more important than a home to rent for survival for more people than you might think.

My commute is 20 minutes of curvy back roads. No traffic. Some farms and livestock, some forest. The roads get too much heavy truck use to be safe for cycling, but it’s a really nice drive.
- Comment on Some are too young to understand 2 months ago:
The guy is not wrong. I have dozens of HDDs but he’s talking about an actual hard drive. I also have a wife, 3 1/2 kids and my dog just died. I’ve seen some shit.
