- Comment on I have to fly back home. My brother was forcebullay taken to the hospital for thirty days do to a mental attack. My quest is I have not carry on's or anything beside the ticket. Will the TSA target me 18 hours ago:
I travel domestically a fair bit for work and I always try to look suspicious to get randomly chosen for an extra check because I get to skip the majority of the line up.
So far I’m at like 1 random check out of every 3 times I travel. Saves like 30 minutes of standing in a hot line up with no air circulation.
- Comment on Valve is fixin' to start some arguments over the holidays because 'All adult members in a Steam Family' can see your Steam Replay page 2 days ago:
This is why I don’t share my steam tag with anyone.
I hate people being able to analyze my habits.
- Comment on Selfish or not 3 days ago:
Or, y’know, ask politely
- Comment on Good morning to this nice pig and only this nice pig. 4 days ago:
God damn, that dude is strong. Pigs are dense that thing must weigh like 200lbs and squirming around.
- Comment on Jumping in would either give you superpowers or cancer 4 days ago:
Do they require car wash stations to have a water treatment plant on site?
- Comment on As the Canada "tax holiday" starts, Walmart increased the price of an item by the amount I would have saved 1 week ago:
It should be illegal for any store to increase prices by more than 0.5% per month for any product in my opinion.
Even if massive inflation hits they can still increase prices by 6% after a year, but they at least won’t be able to immediately increase prices by 10-20% after taxes are lessened or a month before a sale is supposed to start.
- Comment on So that's when I deleted my account 1 week ago:
Tried, they ask for other things I can’t provide
- Comment on So that's when I deleted my account 1 week ago:
I still think it should be allowed.
I have an email that I guess used to be someone else’s and I keep getting emails from their Facebook and Apple iCloud accounts that I can’t even unsubscribe from because I need to log in to unsubscribe. It’s incredibly annoying, and even a privacy issue which I messaged Facebook about and have been ignored.
- Comment on $1K a month is a good deal 1 week ago:
Somehow people think their taxes will go up over $1000k a month if it changes to universal.
I live in Canada and I pay less taxes total than what most Americans pay for healthcare alone, yet somehow they think we pay more than them lol.
- Comment on Reactor goes brrr 2 weeks ago:
I see all these pictures where the steam seemingly just escapes into the atmosphere.
Are there any designs where the cooling steam condenses and then pools and falls back down as liquid to turn even more turbines via gravity like hydroelectrics dams and then returns to the source pool to be reheated by the nuclear materials?
- Comment on What gives you hope to keep going? 3 weeks ago:
Why not?
- Comment on So this is how my neighbor fixes his fence. 4 weeks ago:
It looks like ops fence is the 3-4’ tall fence you can see at the bottom of the pic?
Neighbours probably installed his fence so it looks good to him, since it’s not seen by anyone else but the OP
If it were facing a street you pm would probably install it the other way
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 4 weeks ago:
Why not build it in a remote location then?
Dams can also produce a lot of hydroelectric power, and a catastrophic failure could also destroy an entire town or more. We just don’t build dams upstream of a large town.
- Comment on Donald Trump Team Plans to Cancel Biden's $7,500 Tax Incentive On EVs 5 weeks ago:
One thing I never see addressed with the dream of ending cars and just having bikes is how do first responders operate? How do you transport unconscious people to the hospital? Put out an apartment fire? Get to an armed robbery in time to stop it?
Bikes are great but they also aren’t an end all be all solution to society.
- Comment on What do zoos do with dead animals? 5 weeks ago:
My zoo buries them on the premises. I know of a camel, a moose and a few other things got buried there. They have a large plot of land that is used to dispose of organic waste like branches and trees, old compost, etc until it’s full and needs to be tricked out to the landfill. They just bury the animals under the ground there.
- Comment on What do zoos do with dead animals? 5 weeks ago:
The zoo near me a few decades ago had an accident where a lot of their reindeer got pregnant before the male could get neutered. They kept all the female offspring but they couldn’t risk having two males in the same enclosure and no nearby zoos needed male reindeer or also couldn’t accommodate them so they had to put them down and ended up feeding them to the carnivores in the zoo.
- Comment on why are fax machines still used by medical systems? 5 weeks ago:
We need to try and bankrupt any company that produces fax machines.
The industry will need to adapt once fax machines aren’t produced anymore.
- Comment on Post-election blues 1 month ago:
Go extreme minimalist. Buy practically nothing you cannot live without. Boycott everything. Politicians only listen to their gdp and stock numbers.
- Comment on Here are the patents Nintendo and The Pokémon Company are suing Palworld over 1 month ago:
Even if it were an exact clone I don’t think a single company should have a monopoly on the idea for almost 30 years. Pokemon red was released in 1996, 28 years ago. Why should they still be able to be the only company that releases pokemon-type games?
- Comment on How do Americans win their country back? 1 month ago:
People don’t vote because they see the system is rigged so the popular vote isn’t a great standard to go by either, it’s a product of the system as well
If you had 100% turnout the popular vote would be very different.
- Comment on How do Americans win their country back? 1 month ago:
THIS is the moment where everyone should be creating 3rd party candidates and going to the streets to spread awareness for the next election.
Not 6 months before the election with trump as a possibility. Get out there and promote 3rd party now, when people are pissed at Democrats for throwing it all away from Israel and people are pissed the trump won.
- Comment on Why is the price of real estate rising so dramatically? 1 month ago:
Maybe because with Airbnb instead of renting out a house for $2000 a month to someone looking to live there they can rent it out for $1000 a week to tourists and double their profit.
- Comment on Why are people doing this at voting locations in the USA? 1 month ago:
Are they trying to prove that they can vote without being identified or something?
- Comment on Did the concept of 9-5 included a 30 minute lunch and two 15 minute breaks? 2 months ago:
I get as many coffee breaks in the office as I want but it’s not like I get up, grab a cup and then play on my phone while I drink my coffee for 15 minutes. I get up, grab a cup, maybe say hi to someone as it brews an instant cup, then go back to my desk and drink while I am working. But no one is shadowing down my neck saying I can’t leave my desk until 10:15 and I need to be back by 10:30 or my pay is docked. Freedom and responsibility rather than strict time management and punishment.
- Comment on Horrors We've Unleashed 2 months ago:
It’s a pretty ineffective strategy, but I’m just going off this one photo.
If it’s genetic, and the females can’t get a blood meal, then they won’t lay any eggs to pass on those genetics and just die.
Then the ones without that gene will lay all their eggs and the next generation will be unchanged and they have to spend all that money again to do whatever they did which had no effect.
- Comment on What does a federal ban on price gouging look like? 2 months ago:
If they stop selling it, they stop buying it from suppliers and then the suppliers need to find a way to decrease their costs to make it so stores buy their products again. Otherwise they go out of business, so they will find a way.
- Comment on So now I have to PAY you to NOT store files on my device that I don't want? 2 months ago:
I mean, do you expect news to be free?
Either pay for it by selling your data or with money, or don’t use their website.
- Comment on What does a federal ban on price gouging look like? 2 months ago:
Price cap increases perhaps. No more than 5% increase from the price the product was on January 01 that year.
- Comment on Massive generational gap: Gen Z flocks to multiplayer, while 55+ sticks to single-player 2 months ago:
Gen-z also gets massive psychological trauma because online multiplayer games suck, needing to deal with other gen Z people online.
- Comment on Ubisofts stock tanked this morning ahead of the markets opening 2 months ago:
It’s been tanking for a lot longer than that
