- Comment on Anon is a carpenter 11 hours ago:
A skilled carpenter can spit out a fight of stairs in a day or so. An unskilled one can spit them out in half the time. They’re not nearly as complicated as you’d think.
This is still fake as fuck, construction projects are contract labor. They’ll bring in the tradies they need as they need them and then fire the ones they don’t, generally getting rid of too many people too early, rather than keeping people around they don’t need.
Carpenters on these projects are generally finish carpenters, they’d be installing drywall and trim, and would be quite busy trying to keep up with the schedule.

I imagine that might have something to do with it

Oh. No I don’t want to do that. How? How significant? So I know what to never do?

THIS IS AN ALERT FROM THE ENERGY BROADCAST SYSTEM. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS DECLARED WATER WET.
“stupid ass emergency system water isn’t wet.” Goes outside, drowns

Get him to swallow it, and maybe.

Predators tend to spend most of their time just laying around.
We suspect dinosaurs were metabolically similar to Komodo dragons, which are also probably an example of island dwarfism. So they’re probably the closest analog we have. And they either eat scraps or lay in ambush. Which, you know, involves laying around for long stretches of time.
- Comment on Anon has a proposal for you 6 days ago:
Not nearly as much as you’d think.
As it happens there’s an XKCD about it.
Larger animals are more energy efficient, and require fewer calories per pound than smaller ones do.
- Comment on Martha Stewart's actual Halloween costume 1 week ago:
Well she wasn’t able to dress up as a minority, for some reason the poors don’t like it when you put on black face. So she put on soot-face
- Comment on Do chickens get seasick? 1 week ago:
Nausea and the ability to vomit are different things. Horses get sea sick but cannot vomit. So they’re pretty useless for a few days after say, crossing the English channel on a boat.
- Comment on Do millennials keep looking significantly more youthful than previous generations? 1 week ago:
I watched a documentary last night about an event that occurred in the 80s. They would give the age of the individual along with the name. In every single case the person looked about 10 years older than I am. Not just the hairstyle but the actual age showing on their face.
I am at least 4 years older than every single person mentioned at the time they were pictured.
About half the people pictured died as a result of this incident. So it’s not like it was a picture from years later.
Smoking and sun exposure are motherfuckers for aging
- Comment on Anon hears a dying wish 1 week ago:
Charts aren’t publicity visible, and never have been as long as I’ve been alive. That’s mostly an invention of television, these days they’re entirely electronic.
Yes, it’s a HIPAA violation, but it’s possible this is outside the US.
That of course assumes that a greentext is even remotely true, but it’s obviously both fake and gay. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that)

Can’t recommend. Once was enough
- Comment on Anon gets a police visit 2 weeks ago:
It’s practically impossible to speak while you’re being tased. You can make noises but those are mostly involuntary.
Right after? You’re fine and can do whatever. If it’s your first time it takes a second to put together what happened.

Which necessarily makes him the chadest chad.

It predates AI by a bit but it isn’t real.
Horses can’t vomit
- Comment on EA is shutting down BioWare and the next Mass Effect has been canceled 2 weeks ago:
I just wanted one more mass effect. I guess it wasn’t nearly a far along as they’d teased.
- Comment on What happens in Jumanji (the original) if a player gets killed cause the board game? Does it just stay locked? The Robin Williams version of Jumangi. 2 weeks ago:
It’s not mentioned in the movie if that’s what you mean
- Comment on What happens in Jumanji (the original) if a player gets killed cause the board game? Does it just stay locked? The Robin Williams version of Jumangi. 2 weeks ago:
Ok. First thing to remember here is that it’s a board game. For children.
Second thing to keep in mind is Robin Williams survives alone in the jungle for decades with absolutely no survival skills whatsoever.
Jumanji is a game about thrills. It will scare you, bring you as close to annihilation as possible, but in the end, it will not kill you.
Jumanji will not let you die when trapped inside it.
- Comment on I have to give a presentation in 15 minutes 3 weeks ago:
This is pretty much my only consistent problem with Windows. It refuses to let me choose when to update. Though I generally only notice that it’s happened when I try to get to my jellyfin server. Other than that, it’s been pretty much issue free. Lemmy leans pretty hard towards the tech sector and there’s a hate boner for Windows that is at least somewhat justified but for most users it’s not really an issue.
- Comment on I have to give a presentation in 15 minutes 3 weeks ago:
Windows views that as a suggestion, and frequently ignores it.
- Comment on The Anonborn gets recruited 3 weeks ago:
The main story of that game is fucking awful. I get they wanted to introduce some choice, and wanted that choice to somewhat kinda feel justified but JESUS did they do a shitty job.
Instead of giving us a messy political situation, where either party may have some legitimate claim to the land, they gave us Southern nationalists versus Northern racists who were here first and you’re meant to pick which one you like more.
Gee would I rather kill for the guys that literally don’t want me here, or kill for the guys that literally tried to kill me for being here? HARD FUCKING QUESTION.
I think I played through the main storyline once to completion, and every time before and after that I just skipped it once I got the rewards I wanted.

It took you all day to build a strawman and THAT is what you came up with?
- Comment on Surpreisenheimer 4 weeks ago:
Hiroshima was not a military target, that was a lie Truman told to try to smooth over the fact that he’d just committed a horrific war crime.
Two committees—the Target Committee and the Interim Committee—were convened to advise U.S. leaders on the atomic bomb. The prioritization of maximizing the bomb’s psychological impact on the Japanese population and leadership is the common thread that binds the recommendations of the two committees.
But the identification of military objectives by the Interim Committee was a rationalization meant to obscure the true aims of the Hiroshima bombing. **The Interim Committee’s recommendation was an endorsement of terror bombing with a legal veneer. **
At bottom, Stimson **wanted to kill as many workers and their families possible. **
- Comment on Anon isn't worried about population decline 4 weeks ago:
We’ll make do. We’re very good at making do. Might even say the best at making do.
If our civilization is propped up on the next generation supplying us with an ever increasing population for the meat grinder, what we have is actually a planet wide ponzi scheme. We would do well to make do with less.
