- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 1 week ago:
I wear leather boots, ankle high. The shoe store fixes em when the bottom wears out. Had em 11 years and they’re still fairly pristine. Just gotta oil em every winter. Probably should do that more often.
It was $600 and $50 or so every couple years. Figure I’ve gotten it amortized down.

- Comment on Has Canada's government done anything concrete to reduce dependence on the US since Trump took office? Maybe even since the first term? 2 weeks ago:
Unfortunately i think this is a case of ‘nice doggy’. Trump needs constant sucking up or he goes apeshit. Words are cheap, and we need time to adapt and replace the USA.

It wouldn’t surprise me if such a critical part was cast as a single metal crystal. The stresses on that rotor mist be unbelievable.

100%. I think just a vertical flip of the image would do it. Otherwise anatomically difficult to pull off.

This is one of those words where English is a little indefensible. Hah.
A good example of spoken emphasis changing the meaning, too.

I care to the extent that they care. If a politician is making bank on being moral and upstanding and against that sort of thing, I’ll treat them as they treat others when they’re caught with a side hustle.

It’d be interesting seeing Microsoft in a position where the vendor isn’t automatically making their drivers for them. It’s a massive advantage they have.

As long as you don’t overstack it. Make a tidy stack that can be carried easily with one hand securely. If you eg put utensils between plates you can cause an accident.
