Indeed, but if it makes you feel better, our last visible crisis ended 10 years ago. incidentally, they still have lead pipes going to hundreds of houses there…
- Comment on ngl it gets you pretty buzzed 2 days ago:
Unfortunately a LOT of water distribution in the US is done in lead pips, That’s the whole damn flint water crisis. They don’t replace them because left undisturbed they’re not shedding at a dangerous rate, but once you fuck around with flow and pressure, it gets bad real quick.

I’m pretty resistant to alcohol and numbing medications. I could do two double shots and just barely have the edge taken off.
Of course, I’d not even consider drinking to ease nerves, and there’s no f’ing way I’d be doing shots in my car; that’s a great way to get a DUI in most places.
- Comment on Nvidia CEO: Society has no choice but to change. I used to play in the streets. When cars came along, you obviously can’t play in the streets now 2 days ago:
I strongly suspect this jackal doesn’t predate cars.
I also strongly suggest kids preferred not to play in the ditches we used to call streets before cars.

While true, a severe lack of money can really make you unhappy.

Good HVAC with front and rear vents.
Physical controls for everything, giant central screen, no cellular. - Comment on Engine auto-off 1 week ago:
I rented a Rogue in Vegas for a week. Every damned stoplight, ac slowly gets warmer, actually starts putting out warm moist air. Some of those longer lights out there were miserable. I finally found the button and made it stay on and spent that extra $0.97 on not being miserable.

Most of my local thrift stores have LOST THEIR MINDS. The goodwill’s carry target clearance, for the same price target cleared it for.
Most are now savvy to what old properly made clothes are worth. most of the fun of thrifting had priced me out of participating. If i’m going to pay 80% of the retail price, I’m going to buy it new, or buy it dirt cheap from china.

God yes, that pisses me off to no end. Law requires comparison prices, malicious compliance. they’re not in the same fucking units.
Ounce vs Pound count vs unit count vs Pound
then:
large sign, 80/20 ground beef sale $5.99 / pound
You have to dig through the brands looking for 80/20 until you find the right stuff and it’s always on it’s sellby date.

It’s so strange, when my mother used to tell me we were going shopping it was just misery. We were going to k-mart or woolworths where she would stop and look at every piece of clothing in the store. twice.
In the end she’d buy nothing, or one thing. Hours of time before devices, I was left alone in the toys section where i’d have seen everything of interest in 5 minutes.
Wife or I go shopping, it’s a surgical strike. The first acceptable item, bought, and extracted.

I had a boss in a development job once, post dot com that made the pointy haired boss look like a genius. He wasn’t just uneducated, he was mean and sometimes awful.
One of his favorite games was three options. For every task he wanted three options to do it. Once you gave him three, he would pick what he deemed the worst of the three just to watch people squirm.
One day after a particularly uninspired rant, one of the devs waited till he went to lunch and threw his keys into the recycling shredder box. I never went that far myself, but I fully understood it.

The simplest explanation I know: Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. If you ever end up with something that makes the speed of light change, it’s actually time that changes.
- Comment on The speed of light 2 weeks ago:
That’s a super interesting idea, but I don’t think it’s actually true. I think it’s in appearance only
- Comment on The speed of light 2 weeks ago:
No, it’s weirder than that.
When you make a difference in potential, it creates an electric field within the metal, electrons in the conductor tend to drift to the more positive side through the path that offers less resistance, thus creating an electrical current.
It’s all about the fields, all the real work happens outside the wire, the electrons are just going for a ride. (not to imply it would work without them)

- Comment on Just give me someone to vote for who is normal 2 weeks ago:
Corrupt billionaires controlling the government in a fight to hoover up every last penny of the entire population of the earth are a substantial problem.
The majority of the right doesn’t actually care about corruption as long as they see it benefiting them, or hurting the ‘other team’. It doesn’t actually need to benefit them it can even hurt them substantially, as long as it hurts the other side more and they are told they could have an advantage due to it.
In the end, the left politicians are as into the corruption as the right, they’re just better at lip service and nothing is going to change.
