every hour was amateur hour!
lol, I am stealing this!

Enough said. You have my sympathy.

That means your mail admins sucked at their job.

Wonder what the back end software is there. With Exchange reply-all storms are a thing of the past. I don’t have to convince anyone of anything to stop a reply all storm. Takes 2 minutes of setting up a transport rule. But the admin needs to be experienced enough to know that.

I like this one!

Sure bud, tell me about the condition I’ve had all my life and how my life didn’t get immeasurably better when I finally got diagnosed and treated by a professional in my 4th decade of life.
So ignorant and arrogant at the same time. Trump voter?

I call it “ADHD” because I damn sure was thinking about 3 other things while I was reading-notreading.

So scholastically friendly, wonder why that channel never took off.
- Comment on Why people consistently vote against their own interests to benefit the rich? 2 days ago:
Any rational person can see the difference, doesn’t mean he’s wrong. Just because democrats are way better than republicans doesn’t mean they are GOOD. Both parties attract corrupt greedy powermongers. MAGA / GOP just gets the lion’s share.
- Comment on Why people consistently vote against their own interests to benefit the rich? 2 days ago:
Republican policies usually are better for people living in rural areas
I’m surprised you read past this complete fallacy. I stopped there.
- Comment on Why people consistently vote against their own interests to benefit the rich? 2 days ago:
The root of it is that we don’t teach skepticism or critical thinking in public schools. Seriously.
Question authority. Question everything. But especially question authority. They rarely have your best interests in mind.

Astronomers track centimeter-sized objects up in space
No they don’t
Which is possible to track, just not done.
I rest my case. Precision is important in astronomy.
- Comment on Where can I buy a mosquito laser system? 3 days ago:
That’s 10 times bigger than what you said originally.
- Comment on Where can I buy a mosquito laser system? 3 days ago:
No they don’t. Our greatest success to date was predicting a 1m wide asteroid a whole 3 hours before it hit.
That’s actually impressive given the challenge at hand. But nobody is tracking centimeter sized objects outside Earths orbit. And the ones they are tracking in orbit are man made trash and not rocks.
- Comment on do you combine stair climbing with running when working out? 3 days ago:
I wish more people understood this. You can ruin a 2 hour workout with 5 minutes in the pantry, when it comes to weight loss.
CICO, it’s just physics.
See: college professor that lost weight eating nothing but Twinkies for a month, but he was eating at a calorie deficit every day.

He’s not worth ruining your sobriety over but I completely understand the sentiment.
- Comment on What are your favorite 1000+ hour games? 4 days ago:
I think Destiny is the only game I ever put over 2,000 hours into, but Factorio might take the crown soon - 1800 and counting.
- Comment on How screwed would one be if their email provider shuts down? 6 days ago:
I’d be fine. If my email provider goes away, my troubles are over, because my email provider is me!

I feel you. We have to come to terms with the fact that we are the minority in this country and that most of our fellow citizens value their own self interest more than the promise of a better system for all Americans.
It’s a bitter pill to swallow. You’re going to resent your fellow Americans. I know I do.
The fact is all we can do now is try to survive and protect those we care about. I think spending energy on contesting the results is a waste of time. If they cheated on a scale that gave them millions of extra votes somebody would have found evidence by now. Truth is we lost. And enough Americans are ok with a convict rapist pedophile narcissistic serial liar being in charge of the worlds most powerful military that we actually are powerless. So that energy should instead be spent on anything we can do to protect those the administration is going to target. Keep your head down. But don’t give up.
- Comment on if you workout and run, would you recommend a merino wool base or mid layer for autumn/winter? or am I going to break it? 1 week ago:
Wool is fantastic for cold weather activity because unlike cotton it still insulates when wet.
I still wouldn’t want to RUN in wool, but it makes up some indispensable parts of my ski kit. And it has been tested!
- Comment on if you workout and run, would you recommend a merino wool base or mid layer for autumn/winter? or am I going to break it? 1 week ago:
You can get a thin smartwool or polypro base layer from a ski shop for like $50, even cheaper on sale but it’s the wrong time of year for that. That’s probably all you would need unless you’re planning on running in a blizzard.
When I was in the military a bazillion years ago, our winter running uniform was a beanie to add to our t-shirt and shorts. That was it. If it was SUPER cold (like, below freezing) we’d get to wear sweatpants and a sweatshirt. Then we’d go run 4 miles in the dark. If you got too cold you just had to run faster. :)

But what if someone hid a Bat’leth inside one of them?
- Comment on Where does a man get a proper shoe horn that will not break 4 weeks ago:
Huh. Never had an issue even with nice shoes. I guess I just have slippery feet.
I actually do have some joint hyper mobility so maybe that’s why I don’t see the utility of it? Dunno.
- Comment on Where does a man get a proper shoe horn that will not break 4 weeks ago:
I’m surprised so many people here use them. I remember seeing one in my grandparents house in the 80s and thinking it was a relic then.
From dress shoes to hiking boots to sneakers to you name it, I’ve never needed assistance getting a shoe on or off. What is their purpose?
- Comment on Trump says Harris should be ‘forced off’ campaign, wants Biden back 5 weeks ago:
You can smell the fear.
He’s terrified of being the first presidential candidate to lose to a woman. And he’s going to.

- Comment on Is there a name for the trope where a story is high fantasy at first glance, except for it's not fantasy and is actually set in a post-apocalypse dystopian future? 1 month ago:
Shanara chronicles, too.
Yep, they visit ruins in one series that is pretty clearly the ruins of Tacoma or some place like it.
Terry Brooks happens to live in that area. Coincidence? :)

Is that the intelligence ratio between liberals and conservatives? 20:1?
Sounds about right.
