- Comment on Will the Market Crash in 2026? Here's What History Says and What to Do About It 5 days ago:
History says: Anyone trying to predict the market is probably wrong and will likely lose money.
- Comment on So how would you handle this? 1 week ago:
It wouldn’t work because there’s no circuit.

- Comment on Why doesn't my phone put all of my apps to "sleep" by default? 2 weeks ago:
Waking up an app costs processing power and time. If it’s an app you open regularly, like messaging, or a social app, then putting it to sleep and waking it up makes for an annoying user experience, and also wasted battery.
- Comment on Is history about to repeat itself? 2 weeks ago:
It’s half cause people aren’t used to it, and half cause there’s no infrastructure to keep the roads clear.
- Comment on Should speakers hum when they're connected to a stereo, but the volume of is turned all the way down? 4 weeks ago:
You can’t compare a $30 Amazon stereo to anything made before 1990. That would be equivalent to something costing $10-$15 back then, which wouldn’t have even existed.
There’s plenty of extremely high quality audio equipment that is made today, it just costs real money, just like it did back then.
Yes, for a lot of people, used gear would probably work fine, but it wouldn’t have the inputs they need (no HDMI, no Bluetooth, etc.) heck, a lot of folks would expect it to have WiFi to cast their Spotify music to it.

- Comment on Do drug dogs ever get addicted when working or during training? 5 weeks ago:
K9 handler and K9 handler trainer here - K9 handlers are WILDLY different between agencies, even in the same region.
Good K9 handlers never let their dogs get in contact with the drugs. I’m sure there’s plenty of bad handlers that let their dogs accidentally make contact.
I’m sure there are plenty of dogs that OD or have problems, but there’s no way a dog would be able to self-administer enough to become “addicted”.

- Comment on That doesn't look good. 5 weeks ago:
Fuck, I thought I had a pretty typical body, but I had no idea it was abnormal to have skin.
I guess it’s time to go to the doc again for a flesh-ectomy.

Just 3d print a mould and use it twice before you forget it exists.
- Comment on "i can hear the difference" 1 month ago:
I worked at a big box electronics store back in the day. Problem was we only sold two kinds of cables.
1 - shitty cables with the ends crimped on that will fall off after three uses.
2 - way overpriced gold plated cables that cost 10x or more.
I’d love it if we sold something in-between, but you absolutely could tell the difference between those options. Mostly cause the RCA ends didn’t make an actual decent connection to the equipment, so it wiggled around and induced static into the signal.

Scowl Owl is tied for the best host on Legal Eagle. Tho it is a 5 way tie right now.
Maybe one of them will pull ahead soon.
- Comment on Every Law Broken in Die Hard | Legal Eagle 1 month ago:
YES, he absolutely mentions it! Then quickly states that there are no legal penalties for that so he’s not including it in the count.
- Comment on Looks legit. What do you all think? 1 month ago:
I think the base picture is a car dealership. It could still be AI, but the original base picture is probably still a dealership.

Our quirky university president tried very hard to make “aughty-aught” happen for 2000. It did not catch on.

Really old laser pointers used AAAA batteries.
- Comment on Ford ends F-150 Lightning production, starts battery storage business 1 month ago:
Large, heavy electric vehicles don’t make a lot of sense. The F-150 lightning was a neat idea, but smaller EVs make far more sense for personal vehicles.
Electric vans would be much better as a work vehicle.
Electric work trucks aren’t ready yet.
- Comment on THIS is an inventive idea 1 month ago:
No, most things slide under a shingle so the water never touches the fasteners.
Some things screw right through with sealant on top, but that’s not the best way to do it, cause sealant will break down over time.
- Comment on THIS is an inventive idea 2 months ago:

With just a little pre-planning when the weather is ok, you can install some brackets or fall harness mounts under the shingles.
Solar panel mounts would also work. There’s plenty of things designed to mount to the roof while still maintaining water proofing.

- Comment on Why don't compasses have just two Cardinal directions (North, East, -North, -East)? 2 months ago:
There is no center of the universe.
- Comment on How come there is not a pope without grey hair? I mean a much younger pope like 30s 40s. Really can't be that hard. You got an ocean of cardinals and priests who pretty much tell say? 2 months ago:
Someone in their 30’s will significantly change their worldview over the next 50+ years.
More than anything else, the church wants stability. If you elect someone in the last part of their life, you’ll have a much better idea of what ideology their entire papacy is going to be formed under.
If electing a pope was only for 4, 10, or even 20 years, it would be more reasonable to elect a younger pope, but as it is a lifetime appointment, someone older is always going to be a more conservative option.

Universe Today is a great source for space science, is 100% ad free, and has a robust RSS feed.

The background… Makes it seem like the person is getting escorted into the woods to be murdered due to their interaction at the grocery store.
- Comment on do no harm 2 months ago:
Try describing the pain using the OPQRST pneumonic.
Onset - what where you doing when it started? Provocation - does anything make it better or worse Quality - what type of pain is it. Stabbing, burning, etc. Radiating - is the pain in one spot, or does it radiate out to other spots. Severity - what’s the 0-10 pain scale Time - How long has this been occuring
As you can see, Severity is just one of the parts of the assessment.
- Comment on do no harm 2 months ago:
The absolute nature of the scale isn’t THAT important, yeah it gives you an idea of how the pain feels, but what’s more important is how the number changes over time.
If a patient keeps saying “IT’S AN 11!!” for an hour and then now it’s a 9? Great, we’re moving in the right direction.
If someone starts out saying it’s an 11 and suddenly it’s a 15? Well, what changed? Did some meds wear off? Did they shift and move something that increased the pain?
Heck, 90% of the time if I get there and it’s an 11, then just 10 minutes later it’s suddenly a 6 cause they’ve calmed down now that help is there.
