You have about two months to do that, then it’s banned and you’re probably burned at the stake

That’s too unrealistic. No one would believe that

A lot of cryptobros claim to have gotten rich, or seem likely to be flashing their money around. If someone is throwing money around, why not be somewhere you can catch some

Are you sure it’s not the part of a car engine collecting exhaust from all cylinders into a smaller number of pipes? Because I can use my ignorance of that and play up my environmental credentials as owning an EV

If you said that on our first date, I’d be there on our second!
I’m getting a bit tired of home automation as a hobby anyway - i don’t meet many new people inside my home. 3D printing was next on my list but then I’d have to collect WarHammer miniatures
- Comment on Why do the majority of women still take their partner's last name? 3 days ago:
We had a brief talk where I said I like my name and wouldn’t change it. I also said that while I prefer the tradition of her changing hers, that I understood it’s not really my choice. She did anyway

Has one ever tried? With the current Supreme Court?
- Comment on Is it really possible to tax the rich? 1 week ago:
There’s also the very important concept of a capital gains tax. Why does their income from stock sales get to be taxed at a special low rate, as if it weren’t income? That’s ridiculous
We’d go a long way toward evening it out just by deciding
- income is income. No special categories of income for the wealthy
- when your company or trust spends money on your personal life, that’s also income
- tax brackets keep going. They don’t even have to be specially high, but why does it top out so early?

Regardless, I wonder if he should get a presidential pardon for doing his job - we don’t need the chilling affect of the justice system used for him personal spite or revenge

Following the gps map- is great when you’re trying to get somewhere, but if the goal is walking, I usually want to leave the tech in my pocket. Compass is a nice compromise to help navigate while still taking a break from behind slave to the machine

Excellent! I tried a couple trail apps for iPhone without any luck - they didn’t have local trails or cost too much for how occasionally I’d use it. Lately I have been doing short local hikes on well marked trails

That would be hilarious …. I’m not sure I remember how.

Convenience appliances? You can do a lot with a microwave oven, air fryer and coffee maker, without any flame, or really any exposed hot surfaces

Worst case scenario, download a compass app for your phone, but watch out for scams that will require heavy network traffic
iPhone/appleWatch may have one already, but I don’t know about android

Hear hear! As a bigger guy with a faster pace, I have yet to find a way that doesn’t make everyone uncomfortable while also making me frustrated as hell because I can’t walk at my own pace.

Beanless chili only works as a hot dog condiment. I don’t see the point otherwise

“Fair Trade” is what you’re looking for. I don’t know how legit all instances are or whether they make a real difference, but I taps an attempt
- Comment on On a lighter note: Why do people still buy fast food? 1 week ago:
My remaining fast food vice is Chipotle.
We have a bit of a tradition going. When my teenager drives over from his mom’s house Friday after school, I send out a Chipotle group order so he can pick what he wants, and it’s ready for pickup as he approaches.
So fast, so convenient

Burritos are not food if you get them from taco bell
- Comment on On a lighter note: Why do people still buy fast food? 1 week ago:
Do they have options?
I gave up Taco Bell after college as “not actual food”, and for decades only went to McDonald’s in a road trip or Wendy’s for a frosty. There was a cheap local-ish burger joint that sometimes took their place but it was a bit out of the way …… then we got Chipotle and Panera!!! Fast food that’s actual food and not quite as bad for you. And now it’s the same price or cheaper.
My burrito cost less than your Big Mac meal while being more filling. It has less sodium, less saturated fat, actual fiber and vegetables, and tastes so much better.
We do have at least one authentic burrito place that’s even better and cheaper but you can’t order online. Chipotle group orders are the god of food apps
- Comment on On a lighter note: Why do people still buy fast food? 1 week ago:
Then go for a burrito

- Comment on Realistically... How fucked is the US? 1 week ago:
It all depends on whether they’re competent and can act together for their goals. Many of those goals are truly horrible, but
- Trumps first term was incompetent, fractured. Despite all the chaos and destruction, they did nowhere near as much damage to peoples lives as they wanted to
- My conservative brother is all too typical, dismissing the worst statements as “he’s not serious. He’d never do that”. We have to hope people like my brother are right

Why do they even need runways for taking off? Yeah you want to make sure your engines start but it’s not like you need to reach a specific speed to take off nor do you need to be generating lift.
Imagine how much more quickly you could react by just dropping all your aircraft off the side at the same time (with engines running) rather than be bottlenecked behind individual runway use
