Something, something, fresh teeth.
- Comment on Anon lives on a budget 1 week ago:
businesses with over 50 full time employees are required under obamacare to offer minimun health insurance. it doesn’t have to be affordable. most full time workers can’t afford their company’s family insurance, and don’t qualify for anybsubsidies because their employer offers insurance.
some places it is cheaper to hire only part timers. other places they just get the option with the lowest employer cost share.
health insurance in the US is a byzantine maze of combinations that change radically from state to state, town to town, and business to business.

these unrealistic market caps come from rich people not being taxed. too much money to do anything useful with.

- Comment on Hmm this "unisex" bathroom seems biased... 3 months ago:
Sure, because shit lining the underside doesn’t come from people sitting down, and noone ever gets the seat sitting down. It is a toilet, there’s a reason someone is supposed to clean them several times a day in a public setting.

No idea. I suppose you could estimate with a water hose outlet of similar diameter, put a psi gauge on it, and adjust pressure until the stream travels an appropriate distance, but who cares.

Not if you leave the seat down.
- Comment on Hmm this "unisex" bathroom seems biased... 3 months ago:
So, like, peeing into a toilet with the seat down, 100% keeps those tiny little splashes hitting the tops my bare feet at home. So, when I pee in public toilets, I keep the seat down, to keep the urine off my shoes. I do wipe the seat if I miss, and I also spray if there is disinfectant. But I hear the smart girls squat atop the seat anyway.
Really, places where you don’t have a urinal are sub optimal.

- Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027) 3 months ago:
pissing off customers never stopped them for decades different versions of office programs ran side by side with no issues. they auto uninstall other versions of office automatically while stopping the install with a big pop up about compatibility issues.
this impacts all businesses using old versions of access programs alongside more new versions of office with newer installers. along with a byzantine licensing model with bizarre “incompatibilities” between the same year versions in different licensing channels, yeah tell me how microsoft won’t piss off corpo and government clients.
they seem to specialize in pissing off corpo and gov clients.

no, but I have pissed through some screens.

I don’t. Guy at the office has one with an “unborn fetus” on one of the months, for the pic. Most of the rest is wildlife stuff, with scripture. But every year has at least one fetus page, usually with what looks to be a newborn or older free-floating in a cavern with text about how it has this or that at single digit weeks of age.

I think they want a mango, but I am told pineapple makes it taste yummy. So I had a little trouble wondering if I couldn’t see the joke.

- Comment on Anon ups his fibre intake 6 months ago:
Soluble vs. insoluble. But also fermenting vs. non-fermenting for both types. Psyllium husk powder is non-fermenting soluble fiber. Not drinking enough water with soluble fiber gives hard stools. But soluble fiber is “the good kind”. That super popular doctor recommended fiber-by-the-spoon is psyllium powder, all dressed up.

- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 9 months ago:
this was pushed in the 80’s/90’s on conservative talk radio (iirc). strangely, it gets an ideological push from the phenomenon of income reduction resulting from lost welfare benefits as income increases. the brain correlates things irrationally.
