- Comment on I am about to learn everything. 3 weeks ago:
I had a programmer giving up on a task today and had to resort to VBA in Excel.
Excel is a shit program and Visual Basic is a shit language, but if you combine them, you can do things that are impossible in any other way.
Someone once said that you can make Excel do anything except coffee. I disagree. It can probably make coffee too.
- Comment on Y'all ever have intrusive thoughts about accidentally dropping stuff in storm drains? (particulary when you have your phone out) And like if that happens, wtf is someone supposed to do? 3 weeks ago:
I think it’s a variation of the “call of the void”.
Your brain has an instinct to imagine the worst possible situation to keep you safe.
People lose stuff at subways all the time. Contact the staff and they’ll fish it up. Keys in drains can be retrieved with a magnet on a rope. If you lose something in a drain indoors, you can probably open the water trap and take it. Heavy things don’t just flush out easily.

Just tilt the fridge backwards before moving it in.

Victim blaming! Ariel was only 15, she could not legally consent.
- Comment on question for the culture 3 weeks ago:
monogamy is based on old property laws, on normarivity, and enforced by states/religions.
I’m not sure about that. If you ask anyone in a monogamous relationship, they wouldn’t say that they’re doing that because of the society, state or church.
I think it’s something much more instinctual and possibly biologically conditioned. Pheromones are a hell of a powerful chemical. If you’ve ever had a crush on someone, you’ll definitely have experienced how it makes you focus everything on that one person, regardless of what you want or what they want or what anyone else including your religion wants.
- Comment on Lmao 3 weeks ago:
There’s also a theory that we’re too late, and that our existence is like the remaining microbes in a puddle of water in a desert.
The universe used to be lukewarm with conditions for life to exist everywhere, until it expanded and started cooling.
On a positive note, this could also mean that life lies dormant everywhere just waiting for the right conditions, so that anywhere that has the right conditions also has life.
- Comment on Why the world doesn't have a backup plan for the oil crisis? 3 weeks ago:
They’re not losing billions. They’re just selling less for more.
The price increase is working for them, because it’s pretty certain that oil consumption is already decreasing with more cars and industries turning to electricity in the future anyway and supply is going to decrease as well. So this way, they already have customers accustomed to higher prices. Isn’t that neat…

Neither did she. Apparently she just felt the need to do it for reasons unknown to anyone.

Yes, it’s gen-z science.
It means to evaluate the size of a penis by studying the creases it makes in the trousers.

People like antiheroes.
- Comment on Real 4 weeks ago:
I get the same feeling when looking at fractals.
On one hand I want to explore everything but at the same time I know it’s impossible to grasp.
Our own Earth has fixing points from man made stuff, so I sort of know what’s where, but then I zoom in on the archipelagos in south Chile or the lakes in Lapland and I get confused again because it seems soo randomly generated.

Mickey rolls regular, left leg. Otherwise he’s be goofy.
- Comment on In reference to kitchen wrap (aluminum, paper or plastic), do you prefer to tear up against the lid, or down against the box? 4 weeks ago:
For plastic the trick is to wrap the entire thing and the pull the thing to tear the plastic straight off the serrated edge.

Statistically it’s a failure, but in reality, you get laid two times a week, which is a lot more often than never.

I think it hits the right demography, but other than that the ID.Buzz is basically an SUV with a different exterior.
Modern safety regulations probably disallow the horizontal steering wheel from the original bus, but that’s definitely one of the things I miss in modern vans/busses.
- Comment on Get in y'all 5 weeks ago:
Nah, it was a German company.
I think the issue was that their batteries were already outdated before it made it through the pre-order phase.
- Comment on Get in y'all 5 weeks ago:
They changed the name to xbus.
Not sure if that’s any better, but the design is actually more alike the old veteran VW busses than VW’s own electric bus. I dig it.

pay through the nose for the privilege of experiencing such a tasteless money-grab
My father wanted us to get the cheapest option when he passed and then to spend the money on a party instead. We obliged.
Well, it turns out that once you go under a certain price, it also starts getting tasteless, even if it’s cheap.
The guy showed up. Nice black suit that is too large for him. Wondering where he got that. After accessing the situation (a corpse on the first floor) he then asks if we could help him carry the corpse down the stairs.
So we do, and following his direction holdning my father by the arms as we try to solve the “sofa problem” with my father’s corpse in my childhood home staircase… he ask us to shift to the shoulders to avoid breaking his arms off around the corner. As we finally get my father on a rolling stretcher, he asks if we could get him dressed quickly before the stiffness sets in. As we do it, my dead father rips a nasty dead fart.
Exactly how he had always wanted it.

The tram will be traveling the loop at close to the speed of light.
Due to special relativity it will be shorter as it goes through the loop, so the wheels will fit the tracks perfectly when observed from the tram.
- Comment on It hurts. 5 weeks ago:
Most American cities use a distance or block system.
Most European cities use the odd/even system. Each plot increase by two on either side, so one side of the road has 1,3,5… and the other has 2,4,6…
If a plot is later subdivided or more housses are built on a plot, it’s new addresses will get post-fixed letters a,b,c,d…

Hydro is the OG boiled water.
Sun heats water. Water evaporates. Go up high. Falls down. Turn turbine.
Wind power is a side effect of the same process happening on a rotating globe.
- Comment on It works better if you put it in your mouth first. 1 month ago:
I guess renewables are still cheaper.
At least personally and anecdotally, because it doesn’t happen often, but it has happened more than once, that I have purchased electricity at negative prices due to overflow from renewables
