  The National Parks were literally the last thing that would entice me to travel to the US

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨North America contains some of the longest continuous decididous forest records on the planet.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  the USA exists to make profit for corporations and oligarchs

  when you look at it with that in mind, lots of things make sense

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨didnt do it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  climbing, cycling, and back country. the core hobbies and interests of engineers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨didnt do it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  you’re basing this on a false assumption that all people go to bed after 10pm

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's a matter of motivation⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  on call firefighters in Ontario get paid

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is worried about AAA sales⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  and I played it for the first time like four years ago and it took me three years to beat the main story

  what’s the point of playing games at time of release if my hardware is five years behind and I have a huge backlog of games to play anyways

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wacky⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  comprising

  not comprised of

  friggin’ dunce

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is worried about AAA sales⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  why tf is ranch in this list

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's a matter of motivation⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  can someone remind me where volunteer firefighters are actually volunteers and not just part-time or on-call employees

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are you looking at?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  the closest fenced dog park to me is like 20min away by car

  what do you want me to do, walk there for three hours and then head back?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Emissions go brrrr⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  very common (well, idk about the wait time of half an hour because I’ve never done this B’s) when prices are higher than usual

  at least according to the local facebook groups of people asking which station has the 2c/L cheaper gas, because that singular dollar saved is apparently going to make all the difference in their life

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The way this egg peels in infuriating⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  crack the shell all over. if doing a whole batch, leave them in the pot and smash the pot around semi-gently. if doing just one, slap it around a lil.

  the shell breaks into small pieces that are still attached to the layer underneath, which can then be broken and peeled off in large sections.

  this has only failed me a couple times, when I smacked it too hard and broke the actual egg flesh. works on all eggs I’ve tried, made by various people, and of under and over done eggs made by myself and immediately after cooking or after being stored in the fridge for two weeks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The way this egg peels in infuriating⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  skill issue

  Crackle the shell all over and even poorly boiled eggs should be relatively easy to slip the covers off

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finally someone we can get behind!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  probably put some in the top half of players

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When if ever did "Throw Money at The Problem:" actually work? Instead of being about 75 percent useless?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  • fixing (thing) that you’ve been half assed fixing for ages

  • having the right tools for the job

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SlopOS 11⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I finally had to move to Windows 11, and the UI is just so fucking broken.

  I did discover StartAllBack the other day which helped tremendously

  like who thought removing the ability to show seconds in the clock flyout was a good choice?‽

  pretty sure they’re already using copilot in the start menu program search. I searched for “not” today because I wanted to open notepad. I got three results, none of which had “not” in their name. like jesus fucking christ that’s so bad

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did you do this at your highschool?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The first time I read this as you guys were driving and changed lanes for no reason and all I can think was that “wow so quirky and unique” meme

  but then I smartened up and realized that you meant you used the cones to create a lane closure

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It hurts.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  but the point is that by not organizing it into a grid, drivers aren’t going to cut through a low speed local street, keeping those streets less polluted and safer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It hurts.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  actually tho, flowing windy streets and roads are so much better.

  • more interesting
  • less of a drag track
  • not depressing stroadie strips
  • keeps people on main roads rather than just trying to cut through residential streets
  • naturally manages driver attention
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A job's a job⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  well there’s nothing dishonest about stealing from Walmart, so it’s not that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried to fix my social/workout schedule but waking up after 6am just seems like a huge waste of time, and I like fucking off from work at 3pm and having time to actually do things. and I can’t do that if I’m on zwift until 9pm and pissing until midnight

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She is a "working girl" after all⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  but you haven’t heard that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Okay but like the light has been green for 0.3 seconds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  nah, it’s stupid to move over for literally two seconds only to move back to the left lane

  it happens frequently enough to me that I’m passing two cars at a differential of maybe 10km/h and somebody comes up behind me going faster. I’ll drop my speed and sidle into the right lane to let them pass and move right back over

  I get what you’re saying. I agree. but there are situations where you can be actively passing but also have some space to let someone by. it’s not required because you’re passing, but it might be nice if it’s a long line of cars

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Okay but like the light has been green for 0.3 seconds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  anybody who isn’t using the left lane to pass while we drive past three “KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS” signs deserves to be shamed and fucked with

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Okay but like the light has been green for 0.3 seconds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  the light was green for 0.3 seconds and prior to that, you rocketed up behind me and cut me off to take pole position at the red light, then spent a minute slowly creeping into the crosswalk

  if you’re not ready to go on the fucking green, smarten the fuck up

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me watching someone on Lemmy getting cooked for having the same opinion as me:⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not a fan of shrinking my echo chamber

  I’ll block people who are just plain choosing to be stupid or are annoying, but I don’t want to block people who just disagree with me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me watching someone on Lemmy getting cooked for having the same opinion as me:⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  being a nazi is not being polite

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me watching someone on Lemmy getting cooked for having the same opinion as me:⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  the US is still having elections?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨omg hes just like me⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  it doesn’t even have a hole in the sense that it’s for an entrance and exit as a single hole through.

  it’s literally just a cavity, like a trench
