- Comment on Not disparaging the dead or anything. But why does it seem in the US we are expected to feel sorry for a person who overdoses on illegal drugs? Didn't they make the choice knowing the outcome? 1 day ago:
So you are saying a person can’t possibly get addicted to legal drugs then when those drugs are cut off they can’t possibly turn to illegal drugs?
You are saying that a person can’t get addicted to drugs for other reasons? Ex: mental health issues that aren’t being fixed?

That is a good point. He could die of a heart attack on national TV and Maga would find a way to claim something else happened.

I haven’t had a drink since before the turn of the century. You better belive I’m having a drink, when that fucker dies. I’d piss on his grave if I could find it and not get arrested doing it.

- Comment on Air fryers are simpler than you think, but still pretty neat [19:38] 1 week ago:
Most of them are a pain in the ass to properly clean. My mom has a ninja air fryer. There is no way to remove the top grate. The grease builds up in it.

And then there’s the truly sad bunch that can’t live without social media.
For those that missed… Yes I’m joking
- Comment on What is stopping the vice president from ever murdering the president? 2 weeks ago:
The president Can’t be held accountable is one thing. The vp as far as I know (if the vp killed the president) would need certain people in the cabinet to make him president. They’d have to sign off on it.
But of they signed off on it then really at this point nothing stops it
- Comment on Why is the term "bloodline" often used instead of "family tree"? 3 weeks ago:
Because trees are made of wood and without blood, your wood isn’t doing anything.
I should go.
- Comment on Is it cheaper to use a plug-in oil radiator to eat an individual room, or run the central heater to heat an individual room and living room? 3 weeks ago:
Another good way to do it is to actually hire a HVAC individual on and have them come out and just look at the system. But be wary of that. Some of them are not exactly the most brightest bulbs in the world. And they will tell you, oh you have to have them all open at the same time you can’t close them. Without actually looking at the system. I’ve run into that to myself. In my house, I can close, almost half of my vents without any issue, and yet a number of techs have told me I can’t do that. Until I make them go and look at the furnace and count the number of vents and look at the size the vents then they go oh yeah, I guess you can.
Like I said some of them are not very bright. So maybe it might pay to hire on a couple of them to really look it over. Make sure they really look at the central system, blower furnace, etc. and then also look at the vents in the size of the vents.
Yes, it cost some money upfront for them to come out and help you with it, but you can get an idea of to what they’re doing.
The other option is to go down to the library and check out a bunch of books on the subject and try to learn it yourself.

This is the exact problem. If you don’t get into the conversation right away. Nothing you say will be heard
- Comment on Why don't we just gather up all the ocean's trash and all the nonrecyclables, put them in a rocket, and launch it into the sun? 3 weeks ago:
Another problem is that each item we throw into the Sun is comprised of atoms. We would literally be taking the atoms that makes up earth and throwing them away to a place where the atoms would no longer be part of earth. While a McDonalds cup isn’t going to catastrophically change earth, do it enough times and we could see a problem.
- Comment on Where does a man get a proper shoe horn that will not break 4 weeks ago:
Get a new one. Go to a shoe cobbler, also to a good shoe store. Then show them your technique. I found it odd that you are bending them so soon. Have them watch you use it. Maybe it’s your technique.

A solid financial advisor/attorney will be able to give you ideas on where to put that money what to do with it. And they will be able to tell you whether or not the government can or cannot see it.

- Comment on Why do phone apps update all the time but nothing seems to change? 1 month ago:
What’s better is on an iPhone or iPad you can set the apps to auto update and it will not auto update. It’s normal for me to check and have 15 apps that have updates that have been sitting there for a month.
