- Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs 1 week ago:
So I’m simpler terms I think what you’re saying is the bottle shrinks (surface area decreases). When it does, the volume decreases too and it’s a 5:1 ratio. Correct?
I did click on the link someone posted here and the article made sense to me. Number one was structural. Which is what I would think. Number two mentioned this winter summer think but not during manufacturing ( which makes sense to me), but during shipping which still doesn’t make sense to me. What milk or even orange juice is NOT refrigerated?
- Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs 1 week ago:
I’m sorry, I’m just not buying this explanation. I’d need more evidence.
What surface area? It’s volume we’re talking about. You mean if the plastic gets thicker, thereby reducing the interior surface area there is a corresponding decrease in volume? And it’s 5 to 1 ratio? So if the plastic is thicker by 20% there is no room for milk?
Winter bottles, summer bottles? Like the temperatures aren’t controlled because it costs money? They just compensate with a plug, what every season? Like it costs money to control the temperature of a process but it doesn’t cost money wasting plastic.
Hey, I’m not an expert on this subject and I could be wrong but from my perspective you’re just some guy on the Internet that sounds like he knows what he’s talking about.

I agree with you.

But the yachts. How would you get yachts with a mere $1M - $5M? And jets?

Ultimate frisbee is more like frisbee football and is played with a Frisbee. I used to do that too. A little too intense for me now. Getting older. Plus when I moved the ultimate frisbee crowd here sucks. Real jerks.
Disk golf is literally like Frisbee golf. It is played with discs. They are a little smaller and quite a bit more not sure how to say it “aggressive”. The “holes” are metal baskets with chains that hang from a halo over the top. The chains sort of grab the disc if you hit them right and the disc falls into the basket. Or in my case the chains act like a wall and spit the disc out. It’s mostly walking from an exercise perspective and yeah quite a bit more laid back. Technically challenging though. Really love it.

Does disc golf count?

Ha! I watched Leave it to Beaver and the guy who played Beaver and the guy who played his brother Wally are still alive and still best of friends!! Never mind just looked it up and Wally passed away a couple of years ago. Damn.

- Comment on Is there a mechanism in the USA to undo presidential pardons years later if political corruption has been proven as motivation to give these pardons? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t have the numbers but I’m guessing it’s been used for harm more than good.

Ok, so just sort of spontaneously then.

Of course. How silly of me.

I don’t know, but I would be fine if the presidential pardon was abolished. Perhaps replace it with only a stay of execution.
- Comment on Santa is working on those lists 4 weeks ago:
Ok sorry to ask what I guess is obvious. I haven’t been on in as couple of days and now everyone is talking about corn. Could someone please have mercy on me and explain it? Really sorry but I don’t know how to get to the origin of these things. I just see little hints in post after post.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, actually they might. I do use bookmarks too, but for more permanent things, like recipes and car sites (I’m a car guy). For projects I’m working on and will move along when I’m finished I didn’t want them polluting my bookmarks. I guess I could delete the bookmarks too. Look I never said it made any sense. Ugh.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 5 weeks ago:
I’m a tab-o-holic. I probably have ADD. I don’t know but I’ll start researching something and if I don’t finish that research before moving on to something else or if the need for the research is postponed, I don’t want to lose what I was doing.
Also there are sites I go to everyday, email, calendar, YouTube, so I just leave them up all of the time.
Somebody help me!!

So I definitely missed something here but from the memes I’m gathering there was something in the Epstein emails that implies that TACO gave Clinton a BJ. Do I understand that correctly?

I see. Thanks for the reply. You sound a lot like me actually. But one of the many things I like to build is computers and when I heard that the CPU was soldered on, I thought, well that just gets thrown in the trash as soon as it’s outdated. And it seemed like it wasn’t as good as a different computer running the same stuff, but I hadn’t heard anything about it until now and that’s ALL I’m hearing, so I figured I must have missed something.

- Comment on Popular Tech Youtuber Enderman looses his YouTube channel after AI error 2 months ago:
Yeah, I was wondering if there was enough content on Nebula to make it worthwhile to pay. A lot of my favorite channels do this and it’s getting old. I understand this is how they make money, but that doesn’t mean I’m obligated to watch it. I can just move along.

That’s insanity. Too bad I never really cared for the look of the Saab. Looks like a shoe to me. Good cars I guess.

Holy crap! My wife’s Solara has 368,000 miles on it and I thought that was a lot.
- Comment on And what car did you learn in? 2 months ago:
Learned to drive manual on a 1981 BMW 320i. All of my cars are still manual to this day. 1999 Toyota Solara, 1988 Toyota Corolla GTS, 2003 Toyota MR2 Spyder and 2020 Hyundai Veloster N. But mostly I ride my bike, which is also a manual.
