Either way you’re losing a whole day to travel, at least the sleeper train you save on a hotel room.
- Comment on How soon do you get there? 18 hours ago:
24 hours isn’t bad, I took longer sleeper trains in China.
- Comment on How soon do you get there? 18 hours ago:
Legally passenger gets priority, however to increase the already disgusting profit margins and decrease capital expenditures (why spend on infrastructure when you can pay dividends and do stock buybacks), they have been running longer and longer trains without increasing the length of sidings so when a passenger train wants to pass a 2 mile long freight train, there’s literally nowhere the freight train can go to allow it to pass.
The DoT could fine the railroads each time they do that until they either run shorter trains or build the appropriate sidings, but they choose not to.

It saved my ass in Incheon when I went to the wrong terminal, spent 30 minutes walking around, had to spend 30 minutes on a bus going to the correct one, spent 30 minutes in line, then got delayed by another 30 minutes at check-in due to visa concerns, it was close enough they put me in the priority lane for security and I got to the gate literally as soon as my section was boarding.

nobody was cleaning up their trash and locking it up to keep bears out.
There was a woman who ran a donut shop and would leave all the leftovers out for the bears. The town couldn’t do anything to infringe on her freedom to feed wild bears in town.

Compare: 2 war criminals each responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths, the immiseration of entire countries, and millions of Americans descending into poverty and homelessness.
Contrast: Obama is probably not a pedophile, whereas Trump was Epstein’s best friend.

God I wish dem politicians were nearly as cool as republicans think they are.

You will use his full title, Obama, Deporter-in-Chief, Slayer of Ambulances, Savior of Banks, Patron-Saint of Drones.

It’s so embarrassing. You can say “fuck Genocide Joe Brandon”, but grown-ass adults being like “teehee I’m just saying Lets Go Brandon you mad??” makes me cringe even as a furry who believed they’d transcended cringe long ago.
- Comment on why i love my country 1 week ago:
Yall kinda suck at coming up with pejorative names. “Epstein’s best friend”, “The peace president who invaded Iran”, “The guy who’s afraid of windmills”. It’s important to convey more than “I don’t like this guy”.
- Comment on Why does the microwave button have a "popcorn" button when every microwave popcorn brand says "DO NOT USE THE POPCORN BUTTON"? 1 week ago:
The microwaves over here list the wattage they run at when you lower the power.
- Comment on Why does the microwave button have a "popcorn" button when every microwave popcorn brand says "DO NOT USE THE POPCORN BUTTON"? 1 week ago:
Microwave design in America infuriates me ever since moving over here.
Used to be you just press the number for how long you want, and then enter the power and 30% power meant max power for 3 seconds, then off for 7.
Then they stopped turning on the microwave when you press a number and you had to find “cook time” among the 15 different buttons for specific types of food that never turns out right or require you to look up a chart, it was faster to just press “add 30 seconds” 8 times.
Then they removed the “add 30 seconds” button.
Every evolution was more expensive and fancier, but replaced the most basic functions with things that I have literally never used or heard of somebody using.
Then I came to asia and half the microwaves have two dials: Time and power, and power actually lowered the heat instead of just boiling and then letting it wait for 10 seconds.
- Comment on Tim Sweeney Is Still Crying About Steam AI Disclosures 1 week ago:
No corporation has ever done anything out of the good of its heart because they do not have hearts, you are still treating them like people instead of entities that exist exclusively to extract money from you while giving as little money to its workers as possible.
They’re doing it in lieu of actually making it a good platform to buy from.
Nah, giving the workers more money and me free games does more to make a platform viable than features. But doing shit everyone hates like filling your store with slop games that can’t be identified until you’ve already paid is a dumb decision.
- Comment on Tim Sweeney Is Still Crying About Steam AI Disclosures 1 week ago:
They do that to try to gain marketshare.
This is every single action any entity which exists to extract profit from you that isn’t immediately increasing revenue or decreasing expenses/wages.
They should try to just stop being shitty
Once again, this is done to gain marketshare
It’s weird as fuck to see people with loyalty to one corporation or another.
- Comment on Tim Sweeney Is Still Crying About Steam AI Disclosures 1 week ago:
It gives consumers free games and takes a smaller cut from the developers than steam. All corporations have mutually exclusive interests with the consumer tho.

Protip: condensers function better when its cooler. You can save money by putting the condenser in the neighboring, air-conditioned apartments.

Since when is… Wait he was 31???

Checking on his grave to make sure he’s still dead.
- Comment on President Trump suggested people shouldn’t feel sorry for Joe Biden over his cancer diagnosis 1 year ago:
His incompetence and tendency to give the other ghouls the respect they deserve (absolutely none, fuck the zionist segregationist Joe Biden) are Trump’s only redeeming features.

I have different friend groups on WhatsApp, Wechat, Signal, Telegram, Zalo, LINE, and Discord. Is it possible to use this “matrix” to replace 2 or more apps?

How hard is it to paint an irregularly shaped object in vanteblack, suspend it in a weighted 5ft plexiglass sphere sitting on some ball bearings, and let viewer or motors rotate it so the changing silhouette fucks with perspective, like a 3d shadow puppet?

The person I was responding to isn’t american, because motorcycle licenses are like 10 USD in both the states I’ve lived in.

Why? Shouldn’t cities encourage motorbikes over cars? In SEA its way easier to get a liscense for a bike than a car.

- Comment on winter fans 1 year ago:
Technically we are in a rainy season, but its not a real rainy season, just a few months of showers for like 15-30 minutes, then sunny again, every other day. Similar to Florida weather.
Those downpours can be pretty severe though, when it starts bad, you pull over and put on rain gear immediately because its about to get much worse. Sometimes it feels like you’re riding through soda, water hitting every inch of your body at all times, plus an inch of runoff on the road.
