- Comment on Min wage in most states is so sad 2 days ago:
I didn’t say they aren’t already, just that it would be even easier if they’re paid less.
- Comment on Anon steams up the sauna 2 days ago:
Nothing at all.
- Comment on Min wage in most states is so sad 3 days ago:
I agree on spirit, but in practice this will just make them even easier to be bought.
- Comment on Anon steams up the sauna 3 days ago:
I would say the gym is absolutely not where people go to make friends, but apparently the younger generation does use it for that. That kind of blows my mind, but it’s certainly healthier than going to a bar to meet people.
- Comment on I Used To Be A Real Piece Of Shit 1 week ago:
Yeah that works. Especially because you could do it once a week at a farmer’s market and get the really good stuff. I was doing that for a while.
- Comment on I Used To Be A Real Piece Of Shit 1 week ago:
This is why I like living close to a grocery store. I make lots of small trips instead of a big one.
- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 2 weeks ago:
The latter. I’ve seen them at some hotels. They’re god awful. The water splashing out isn’t even the worst part. The shower doesn’t get all hot and steamy because it has to get the entire bathroom hot. I travel for work and switched the hotel I was going to just because it had these types of showers.
- Comment on California just passed a law forcing mandatory DRM in 3D printers 3 weeks ago:
From what I’ve seen, 3d printing a firearm isn’t worth the trouble. Especially when you can get 80%'s and finish them with a drill press.
- Comment on Friends. 4 weeks ago:
Same, but funnily enough I love Curb Your Enthusiasm. Jerry Seinfeld just doesn’t land with me while Larry David does.

I think there has been a clear pivot towards trade schools in recent years. I recently toured my old high school as part of my 20 year reunion. It is far more focused on the trades now. Back when I was going they got rid of all the shop classes. Now they’re back and they have a big focus.
- Comment on Anon is 23 1 month ago:
Don’t look down on trade schools. The trades are a great way to make good money and not likely to be replaced by AI… If I was that age today, I would be very strongly looking at that type of work. Or something in the medical field.
- Comment on Elon is so smat 1 month ago:
I don’t know the year, but I think those emails were around Christmas and this tweet is in November. Guess the midgets weren’t enough.
- Comment on It's rigged 1 month ago:
I’m pretty sure they are. The more you pay into the system, the more you get at retirement age. But, it’s also capped. I’m assuming that’s the rationale behind capping the tax.
- Comment on Do you think that Trump is the most hated U.S. president? 2 months ago:
The bank thing that lead to the eventual collapse was a Clinton thing.
- Comment on The end of civilization costs $5 2 months ago:
That would be completely wasted on me, but very cool.
- Comment on The end of civilization costs $5 2 months ago:
I don’t know, I’ve also heard that a few drops of water “opens up” the whiskey. My dad was an alcoholic who loved whiskey. He would order it with a few drops of water. Ice would do the same thing.
- Comment on Cheese is available 2 months ago:
Many times our grocery stores are bars. Quite a few of our grocery stores have bars in them. That was really strange when I moved here.
- Comment on That's a no 3 months ago:
Nah, I’m just being a butt head.
- Comment on That's a no 3 months ago:
You said it couldn’t be done, you didn’t specify a need for it being safely done.
- Comment on That's a no 3 months ago:
You could reduce the gap between the cars by ~half.
- Comment on That's a no 3 months ago:
Lane filtering should be legal everywhere. Like you said, motorcycles accelerate quicker but also it removes the chance of them getting rear ended.
- Comment on That's a no 3 months ago:
Because it’s counterintuitive. You would think that getting people over early means traffic can just flow easier.
- Comment on When traffic comes to a standstill, drivers instantly shift left and right to create a Rettungsgasse, an emergency corridor right down the middle, so ambulances 3 months ago:
What are you talking about?
- Comment on References: [1] out of his ass 3 months ago:
Got’em
- Comment on When traffic comes to a standstill, drivers instantly shift left and right to create a Rettungsgasse, an emergency corridor right down the middle, so ambulances 3 months ago:
Might be legal if you’re on a motorcycle. If it isn’t, it should be. No reason to not allow lane filtering.
- Comment on But they have great personalities 3 months ago:
The word gig is far older than the term “gig economy”. But I’m also sure strippers have been around a lot longer than even that.
- Comment on First the frogs turned gay and now this 4 months ago:
If you take a minute to think about it, of course hunters would be interested in preservation. They want a place to hunt and things to hunt. There will always also be the douchebag manosphere style people that just want the biggest sport kill.
- Comment on Miss me 4 months ago:
I think that’s actually a pretty neat trick. So long as not winning doesn’t feel even more crushing.
- Comment on Some folks might call me a dreamer 4 months ago:
You have to celebrate the wins.
- Comment on School of hard knocks 4 months ago:
Today that’s next to impossible. Comp Sci students are struggling to even find internships. I was listening to a podcast interviewing a student that applied to over 90 internships, only got 2 interviews, and no callbacks. It’s probably the worst time to try to get into tech right now.
