  Scientists claiming they can predict (postdict?) what happened billions of years ago, but fail to predict what randomness Lemmy will obsess over next week.

  I wish it were doing protein folding work or something less wasteful.

  From a friend who woked the frieght dept at an inland airport of a major city, he said from the sketchy sushi sold at coner gas stations to the fanciest upscale dining downtown, they all got the same frozen fish from the same distributor.

  I’m not paranoid, but I think I’ve met my agent by chance. Nice enough guy, ex military I think. Kinda quiet, good to his lovely wife. 2 little boys. Never heard him say a hateful thing.

  Do those things that Christians would never do. You know - help the poor and immigrants.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cool Japan 🌸⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  It probably wasn’t anything wrong you had done wrong. From what I’ve been hearing from some family who do business in asia. As they explain it, Japan has had an economic whiplash from the 80s and a lot of those cultural and economic policies that gave them initial success were not sustainable long term. And since Japan is a VERY proud culture, they’ve found it easier to blame outsiders than their own miscalculations.

  It’s been years now, but are you saying that BBQ joints don’t have Spanish speaking employees? Is that a Texas only thing?

  Hopefully. The best satire is when it’s so close to reality that it’s almost believable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s Looking Like the Cybertruck Is the Biggest Flop in Automotive History⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I get that. The minimalist design is an antithesis to modern auto industrial design where subtle curves and swoops and curled body work are all over trucks these days. I always thought the extra curves were feminine and insulting to trucks marketed for heavy duty manly work. I agree with your observations on the cyber truck on every point. Still surprised it’s less successful than the Corvair though.

  As a daily Corvette driver I virtual fist bump every shit box owner out there. I’ve been there and I love you guys. And to every Prius owner giving me the evil eye? I’ll make out with every one of you because your a better person than me. And total cost of ownership of my Corvette is half that of my friends Model S and it isn’t a bore to drive either.

  Also, fuck GM, their never getting a dollar from me again after their superPAC donations. And old men vette owners are REALLY WEIRD.

  And she STILL mentions this movie years later! Fairly I had just suggested watching Tusk with her a few weeks prior ( “it’s Kevin smith sweetie it should be funny!"), and she’ll never forgive me for that suggestion either - or the though that I might have a thing for people turning into animals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why doesn't the reflecting pool just use an automated strainer on it, that would run about every six hours, like a mechanical pool cleaner? Instead of paying 15 mil just for a bunch to clean?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  IIRC it pulls from natural surface waters and may even be a flow through design. It’s not a closed system like a pool. So it will always be getting water from the Potomac or other local sources which are already heavily polluted, and algae and algae like life such as dinoflagellates will instantly bloom with very minor pollution, especially when competing biofilms on the bottom and sides were just removed. Also, I know marine algae is notoriously difficult to filter out by mechanical means, so I assume similar for aquatic. I think that unless it get turned into a closed loop chlorinated swimming pool, the “best” it will ever be is a natural looking reflecting pond for the ducks and geese - and I’m okay with that, I’ll bet the ducks and geese prefer it too.

  This is interesting story. So either: you are very observant with amazing attention to detail and the diligence to figure out the details of how things work, or you think dogs pooping are just plain comical. I applaud you for either.
