- Comment on Is there any such thing as "edutainment" shows for adults? 20 hours ago:
Connections is one of my all time favorite shows. I missed that there was a 4th series released. Four series in 47 years.
- Comment on Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars? 1 day ago:
Conservative governments have spent 3 generations, the world over, convincing everyone that deregulation is always a good thing.
- Comment on The American Dream (terms and conditions apply) 1 day ago:
I’ve been thinking about putting a nice poster or painting on my ceiling, so when I die at my desk if I happen to slump backward at least a nice poster will be the last thing I see.
- Comment on Lefty tax 5 days ago:
Pssh! Lefties always getting special treatment and righties always getting a handout, while us middles always miss out.
- Comment on Nothing to see here 1 week ago:
What kind of monster doesn’t wear black shorts and a tuxedo tee to a wedding?
- Comment on What character is the king of plot armor? 1 week ago:
- Comment on Does anybody actually work from 09:00 to 17:00 1 week ago:
I’ve spent 20 something years ostensibly working 9 - 5. But most of those years I’ve also on call for server downtime, and crunch-time is sometimes a thing.
- Comment on I was a husky boy and look how I turned out 2 weeks ago:
We should encourage kids to smoke to deal with their stress.
- Comment on Introducing the Forklift Nazi! 3 weeks ago:
A timely and well executed reference, for sure.
- Comment on Engineering Marvels 3 weeks ago:
Akin to that old astronaut joke, “My life depended on 150,000 pieces of equipment – each bought from the lowest bidder.”
- Comment on That's good to know 👍 5 weeks ago:
Chlorine, Florine, and That Guy are all roommates.
- Comment on And toxic in large amounts! 5 weeks ago:
I also like a bit of beaver scent gland juice added in.
- Comment on Inner Monologue 5 weeks ago:
Sometimes my inner monologs have to shout over my inner radio station. Which is now playing “Where is My Mind” by The Pixies, on loop.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I’ll never forget that number but, if I lost my access to me contacts, I’d never be able to call parents, siblings, or friends.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Steakhouses and nicer restaurants, at least on the west coast of the US.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Blackberry sauce for steaks is somewhat common, and delicious.
- Comment on The person who mounted a spice rack into the fucking studs so a fridge won't fit there 1 month ago:
What are they cooking with they need to put that into a stud? Was it common for them to set their tungsten rolling pin atop and then hang their lead apron from the edge? Did they have a recipe that calls for a pinch of neutron star?
- Comment on Money's on Cthulhu 1 month ago:
… from New Jersey
- Comment on Do you ever get the feeling of zooming out of your phone into your head and actually realizing everything, instead of just mindlessly watching videos? 1 month ago:
Divorce yourself from algorithmic feeds. They’re basically used as Soma.
- Comment on Valid crashout 1 month ago:
Never have, never will. Supporting hate to eat mistreated animals doesn’t sound tasty.
- Comment on Crazy how nature do dat 1 month ago:
Its made by soaking leaves in gasoline, stomping on them with dirty logs and feet, and pouring on lime and concrete after that mush has dried. Don’t worry too much about what you snort it with.
- Comment on How come if my dog is sick and I take him to get put out of his misery its ok? On a human its not? How come human laws don't apply to animals? I think of our dog as family and he's one of us? 1 month ago:
My stepfather made use of Oregon’s Death With Dignity law. Him scheduling his death a week out was… weird, but I’m always glad it was an option.
Though at one point a doc did legally have to inform him that instead of the painless and easy medical assisted death he could instead choose to stop eating or drinking.
- Comment on Is Kagi Worth It? 1 month ago:
I really love Kagi. Search lenses and results customization are worth the $10 and Privacy Pass is, to me, like an invaluable insurance plan.
But if you’re happy with DDG, then I’d say just try Kagi for a month or two. You’re going from good to great (IMO), and not dogshit to great like a Google user would be.
- Comment on How do trains save fuel when they literally park on the tracks and block multiple intersections, with over a hundred vehicles steady burning gas all around waiting for the train to fucking move? 1 month ago:
In my state, train companies are fined if they block a crossing more than 10 minutes during the day or 15 minutes at night. But every so often we have to remind local politicians that those regs need to be upheld.
To answer your question directly, Diesel locomotives are actually Diesel generators that drive electric motors. When they’re stopped they cycle down the generators to a minimal count to maintain power. They’re more efficient in general because the engines are generally running at their peak efficiency RPMs (to drive gennies instead of the wheels). Unlike trucks that are rarely running at peak efficiency RPMs and will burn extra dirty at idle.
- Comment on It's me again 1 month ago:
First advice, do your coke in the car.
- Comment on What is the probability that the atoms that I am made of once formed someone's penis? 2 months ago:
The water in whatever you’re drinking today was once dinosaur urine. You gotta make peace with that sooner or later.
- Comment on its full, no air 2 months ago:
The glass is oversized.
- Comment on Someone tell the world to slowdown so I can catch up to the events of the previous 12 hours properly 2 months ago:
He was in a Tesla, so the “driver attentiveness camera” would have recorded the whole thing.
- Comment on Someone tell the world to slowdown so I can catch up to the events of the previous 12 hours properly 2 months ago:
The quaruple amputee professions cornhole player shot someone while in his Tesla. So the real takeaway from that story is the professional cornholing pays (at least) electric car money.
- Comment on It made it interesting when they started with a name and not a number 2 months ago:
At least in my school, the Simpson’s started us spelling phone numbers with letters again in the 90s. We were “Yuka 2…”
That doesn’t make me not old though.
