We get it. You have infinity as your denominator and that takes you literally everywhere. However I must point out that if everything must happen “everything” includes an infinite unending static state to the universe. This is not a contradiction as we know some infinites are larger than others. Right after I am a green goose with a candy whistle for a dick, a permanent heat death of the universe will be the next thing to occur.

Assumes the universe can’t reach a static state that it remains in forever. Final shape, if you will.
- Comment on Cool Bug Fact #47 3 hours ago:
Yeah but so does everybody so this doesn’t help delineate “you.”
- Comment on Cool Bug Fact #47 3 hours ago:
I mean, is there anyway?

I missed SO much and I’m bummed about it. Aren’t you? I wish I could see the San Francisco Bay before a single European settler set foot on it. I would have loved to have been at Woodstock. And I want to see everything else that happens in the next 1000 years and beyond. We get a snapshot. It’s amazing but not nearly enough.

We already do dangerous things therefore all dangerous things are A-OK come on bro we’ll figure it out.
Oh my god just stop talking.

Yes you can scare up some possible safety applications for this but you have to take it on the whole and balance the safety risks and benefits. They haven’t even answered how rhey are going to make the underbelly fan street legal when we know it shoots a lot of gravel out backwards at high speed. And understanding from MKBHD is that the model with all directional thrusters is only a high end demo which will never actually be sold. The one that might actually get sold only has thrusters in the back. Does that scream “safety” to you or “excessive speed?”

Yeah just compressed nitrogen, but still very wasteful and excessive and stupid. That’s enough. No one said it was putting out toxins.
- Comment on Anon notices what they've taken from us 3 days ago:
This is a good one. I don’t even mind if it requires a repair shop, as long as it’s a modest cost. I realize that a battery you can just snap off the back would be easier but I honestly do worry that could make the phone larger or the battery smaller.
- Comment on Over half of workers regularly skip lunch on the job due to high food costs, increasing job pressure 5 days ago:
By far the biggest thing I miss about working in the office, as opposed to from home, is the free lunch. That’s such a no-brain perk for any company that can afford it. Saves everyone the time of leaving to go to restaurants,builds morale when they all eat together, and it’s cheaper to feed a large group of people all at once than to send them off individually to retail.

I guess our experiences differ because 9am seems pretty standard to me.
- Comment on Make Congress Earn Average American Wage. 1 week ago:
This would mean that the job would only appeal to two kinds of people: those earning below the average wage, or the very rich who don’t care what the job pays.
I’m all for low-earning folks getting a raise by running for Congress, but the problem is that anyone above average wage will see this as a pay cut. And the higher end of wage earners are the more highly educated, skilled, and experienced people.
Even if Congressional wages seem high now, most well qualified professionals can still earn way more in the private sector.

You tend to go for the minivan once birth control can no longer help you.

Also SDE and NA
- Comment on First world problems 1 week ago:
I was in my minivan with my kids at the grocery store the other day when a woman ran up to me out of nowhere asking for help opening a bottle. She thanked me and said it was the minivan that made her think I’d be helpful. “It’s a minivan - he has kids, I was thinking.”
When you drive a minivan you’re the whole world’s daddy, apparently.

Better than just posting here like most do.
- Comment on Ah, Beans 2 weeks ago:
Please stop posting this as an authority saying it’s valid. It’s an internet discussion with a robust debate about whether it’s valid or ambiguous, which means it’s ambiguous.
- Comment on Ah, Beans 2 weeks ago:
My kids love it that way.

Love kombucha, kimchee, yogurt, beer, soy sauce, sauerkraut, bread… can’t stand nutritional yeast. It goes straight to my sinuses and stings them.
- Comment on Ah, Beans 2 weeks ago:
There’s no rule here. Note “usually means” in their comment. This is an ambiguous phrase for which some people have a convention but is inherently weak. Anyone writing a headline should have better instincts about usage and style.
- Comment on Not saying this is Hell, but it's pretty fucking close 2 weeks ago:
Let’s not complicate our two-minutes hate against the US with details. We’re all slaves here, don’t you know? Oops excuse me I have to go a billionaire is here to fuck ne in the ass with a rake.

The funny part is that the second you actually need disability coverage, the companies are all too happy to throw you over to the government for that as fast as they can.
- Comment on Not saying this is Hell, but it's pretty fucking close 2 weeks ago:
It does in the US too. I’m not sure what the previous commenter is talking about with companies cutting off funds. No company I’ve ever worked for paid workers for disability time. They throw you over to the government for that at the first opportunity, though they may be involved to the extent of validating yes this person works here, etc.
The issue in the OP is the amount paid, if we actually read it. Of course all the comments are just going in the usual directions of “fuck capitalism / corporations / the USA” and sadly nothings going to change that.
- Comment on The reason the right are so anti Mamdani is obvious: they don’t want you to see what your tax dollars being put to work the right way would actually look like. Then everyone would want it everywhere. 2 weeks ago:
Slavoj Zizek calls the Democrats “capitalism with a kinder face - LGBT rights and so on and so on.”
That’s really it. They think the core economic system is working. They’re fine to greenlight social policies that don’t challenge it, especially if they think it will win them votes. And that’s all they are.
- Comment on Gap Year 🧏 2 weeks ago:
I’ll never forget borrowing $500 from my parents in 1997 because after 30 days in the big city I still hadn’t found a job. These were the days when I was a real whiz kid for using my modem to send a scan of my resume directly to fax machines. Dice.com was not a website but a Telnet service.
I don’t think I ever paid them back…

English is a wreck of three other languages but at least we escaped gendered nouns and adjectives. That’s got to be the most pointless language feature of all time.
