Also to note, Chrysler just keeps the name HEMI. Modern ones aren’t actually hemispherical.

Oh they’ll still hear it. And they’ll just know him as the office asshole with the annoying af keyboard.

Other than the whole issue of it still trying to connect to devices, or allowing other devices to try to connect to it. Which is what the post is about.

That’s cool and all, but that has literally nothing to do with Bluetooth…

- Comment on Maybe this isn't proper shopping but $18.50 for four veggie burgers, buns, and danish seems like a lot 7 months ago:
All of that might be another $2 total. Produce is generally dirt cheap.
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
There’s no such thing as price gouging for unnecessary goods or services.
If you don’t think the good is worth that price, don’t buy it plain and simple. McDonald’s is not a necessity. They’re going to price their product according to what they believe the market will bear.
- Comment on Maybe this isn't proper shopping but $18.50 for four veggie burgers, buns, and danish seems like a lot 7 months ago:
It would be $5 a burger if they waste the other 4 buns in the package. They got 4 patties and 8 buns.
If they get another 4 patties it would be $28 total and about $3.50 per burger and slice of danish. Which is relatively cheap for everything they got. Throw in a head of lettuce, a tomato, and an onion and it might cost an extra $2 total to dress 8 burgers.

Fucking where lol. Eggs have gone back to being cheap for like the last year almost. Kroger brand eggs are $1.89 a dozen here in Colorado.
- Comment on Maybe this isn't proper shopping but $18.50 for four veggie burgers, buns, and danish seems like a lot 7 months ago:
That’s relatively cheap…
You’ve got 8 buns there so buying 4 more patties would take the whole thing to $28 for 8 burgers and cutting the danish into 8 slices which is probably the serving size anyway. Or $3.50 per burger and slice of danish.
And you grabbed the most expensive versions of things too.
- Comment on Is there any christian religions that don't believe in space? 8 months ago:
The idea of a firmament is definitely a thing and has been for thousands of years. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmament
I’ve heard about it all my life from mainstream Christian churches too.
- Comment on "Hosts" indeed, at least pick one... 8 months ago:
Sure, but this is 2 guests unless they’re planning on lying about it. In which case, double whammy when they get hit with another fee for extra people.
- Comment on "Hosts" indeed, at least pick one... 8 months ago:
I have never had a hotel charge bullshit fees. Rental rate and tax are all I have ever paid.
- Comment on "Hosts" indeed, at least pick one... 8 months ago:
I can guarantee you can get a pretty nice hotel for less than that without bullshit fees. Anyone still using Airbnb or any of the other short term rentals deserve what they get.
- Comment on Can you take the lint from your dryer and make clothing? 8 months ago:
You can’t spin thread from it since the fibers are too short.
But you can use lint for felting.
- Comment on ROCKSMITH 2014 LEAVING STORES - Ubisoft 8 months ago:
Because it’s a 10 year old game with few players and even fewer that are going to buy it new….
Music licenses are expensive as a hell and it doesn’t make sense to pay for a license when you’re only gonna have a few hundred/thousand people using it.
- Comment on Why cant the Middle East just chill out? 8 months ago:
Well it was WWI in the first place, and the levant was part of the Ottoman Empire which was part of the central powers and did take part in the war.
- Comment on Why cant the Middle East just chill out? 8 months ago:
Palestine was never a country…
The entire levant was part of the Ottoman Empire.
- Comment on New cars are great... 8 months ago:
What’s funny is that that only really applies to publicly owned companies where anyone can own shares of the company.
- Comment on Why do sports commentators talk soft bullshit? 8 months ago:
Sometimes they do. You have two major commentators for sports.
Analysts, which do break down plays, but usually during breaks and halftime/intermissions because analysis takes longer and is HARD to do in real time.
Then you have color commentators who call the game live and are really there to fill the dead air and bring excitement to the broadcast. Their job is not to do analysis, it’s to call the game in real time and bring excitement to it.
In regards to Jomboy, his videos are great and in depth, but it takes a few days after something happens for him to get that video out. In depth analysis like that is not something you can do in real time.
If you want analysis there’s a ton of it out there. Just not in real time.
- Comment on Do life insurance rules that deny payment after suicide discriminate against those with mental health issues? If those rules didn't exist would suicide rate increase? 9 months ago:
Yeah lol.
- Comment on Do life insurance rules that deny payment after suicide discriminate against those with mental health issues? If those rules didn't exist would suicide rate increase? 9 months ago:
I didn’t say underwrite it and decline coverage anyway.
I was speaking to your statement of it wouldn’t affect payout but would affect premiums.
It would affect the premium if they do decide to underwrite it at all and don’t just decline you.
- Comment on Do life insurance rules that deny payment after suicide discriminate against those with mental health issues? If those rules didn't exist would suicide rate increase? 9 months ago:
If they even underwrite it and don’t just decline coverage anyway.
My wife got declined for being underweight by 10lbs. No way they underwrite someone with documented suicidal ideations.
- Comment on Bosses and workers still can’t agree on whether the commute is part of the work day, and it’s creating a $578 billion productivity problem 9 months ago:
Because that just limits people’s ability to find employment.
I’ve had jobs where I lived 10 minutes away, and took a different job with a further commute because it paid significantly more.
Should an employee have to up and move their house every time they change employers, or should employees be able to decide if a long commute is worth it to them based on the offer?
- Comment on Bosses and workers still can’t agree on whether the commute is part of the work day, and it’s creating a $578 billion productivity problem 9 months ago:
They would just not hire people that live two hours away.
- Comment on Updated Edge and it now seems to put a frame with rounded corners around every website 9 months ago:
If your employer gives you a laptop for work, they can lock it down to whatever the hell they want. Standard practice is to give regular users no elevated privileges at all, so you couldn’t install anything that isn’t already installed. Most companies don’t even let users edit the internet options so you can’t even change your default search engine.
- Comment on Updated Edge and it now seems to put a frame with rounded corners around every website 9 months ago:
lol yes they can. Your employer can make you use whatever software they want, and can and do monitor everything you do on their network.
There is no expectation of privacy when you’re using their hardware or network.

Could they be any less original?
Their competitor to Steam is just… another word for Steam.
- Comment on If we are worried about microplastics, why isnt there more outrage over "microfiber" ? 9 months ago:
Because people have been told a bunch about this vague idea of microplastics, but not that a bunch of shit they buy, like microfiber, are major contributors to that.
I thinks it’s less distinction and more awareness.
