- Comment on Houses in my area increases 82% in just 4 years 1 week ago:
Yep, that’s on track! My house has almost tripled in price since I bought it 12 years ago. Denver metro. No way I could afford it if I had to buy it today.
- Comment on Eat lead 3 weeks ago:
Because believers will listen to Christianity’s divinely inspired interpretation of the Bible that says that. Non-christians won’t listen to that. Therefore anyone who believes the earth is older has rejected Christianity. He did it to help identify the non-believers because he’s a petty bitch.
- Comment on Did the concept of 9-5 included a 30 minute lunch and two 15 minute breaks? 4 weeks ago:
The “genius” was the IN state Congress that made it law that 37.5 and under must be considered part time, even for minors. I was working exactly that every week while also going to high school when I was 16.

The last time I worked hourly was the late 90s. We got a paid 15 break per 4 hours worked. If we worked more than 6 hours, we also got an unpaid 30 minute lunch. I got no benefits because I was part-time at 37.5 hours per week.

It’s because of anti-discrimination laws. In some US states it can be illegal to hire someone for a position without posting it publicly. The concern is that if you’re not posting the job publicly, it can be because you want to prevent certain people from applying.
When you do post it publicly, the company can demonstrate that they allowed anyone to apply, show records that they considered multiple people for the job, and then decided on the internal candidate the best fit. No room for a discrimination lawsuit.
Source: I’m a hiring manager at a multi-billion dollar company and have actually learned a thing or two from annual compliance training over the years.

Collaboration is actually useful. The phrase you’re looking for is synergizing the cross-functional modalities.

Sweet! Shapez is a great take on factory games.
- Comment on Steam Summer Sale - Top Deals 4 months ago:
The audio in this game really seals the deal. You’re just swimming along collecting resources and hear a terrifying roar. But you look around and can’t see where it came from… Do you keep going or nope the fuck outta there and go take a breather in your life pod for 20 mins while your heart rate comes back down?

Being able to build vertically makes it a very different experience. Using a hyper tube chain to meet yourself all the way across the map is chef’s kiss.
The blueprints are helpful for mid to late game when you need to set up dozens of the same thing. It’s not a perfect system, but can definitely be a time saver.
The combat is totally different. There’s no raid/defense mechanism. The mobs have a fixed spawn point. They’ll stop respawning once you start building around that point. Once you learn the appropriate attack/dodge maneuver for each type, they’re barely even a nuisance to kill.
- Comment on Anon meets his gf's parents 4 months ago:
My FIL did a gun cleaning night when I was first taking his daughter out on dates. Had 3 guns disassembled on the kitchen table and let me know they’d be reassembled by the time I brought her home. He’s a really nice guy, but yes, that shit is “normal” in the US

- Comment on Economics 4 months ago:
The TI-89 was ~$100 when I bought one 20 years ago. Looked it up on Amazon and they’re $100-$150 depending on the specific model. They haven’t kept up with inflation at all, which means they’ve been getting cheaper this whole time…

- Comment on Disc market share for week ending in 2024-06-08: Dune, Beekeeper, Rango, and Doctor Who Peter Davidson are among the top 4. 5 months ago:
If 77% of the market share is DVD, why would its top 20 breakdown be excluded?
- Comment on Coconuts 🥥 5 months ago:
This is nonsense. Coconuts were spread by humans.
Such an origin indicates that the coconuts were not introduced naturally, such as by sea currents. The researchers concluded that it was brought by early Austronesian sailors to the Americas from at least 2,250 BP, and may be proof of pre-Columbian contact between Austronesian cultures and South American cultures.
- Comment on Director Yeon Sang-ho and Leonardo DiCaprio team up for Hollywood action-horror film 5 months ago:
It’s entitled “The 26th of DiCaprio” and stars an aging woman as she transforms from a young model into a wretched harpy in the span of just a few days.

I never said that. Sounds like you’re projecting.

Do you also support “just say no to drugs” and abstinence only sex ed? Screens, as a concept, are not literally the devil. It’s unmonitored and unlimited screen time that’s the issue.

That’s what it looks like when I’m logged out. It’s just a bunch of nerd shit when I’m logged in. Don’t click the tits, not even once.

Ryobi is great for starting out. They’re definitely not the best tools, but they’re cheap. If you wear out something from them, you’ve earned the right to buy a good brand of that tool.
- Comment on Steam keeps on winning 10 months ago:
No. They’re repeating cable history. The great bundling has already begun. Hulu and Disney are being rolled together. You’re going to have fewer options moving forward. You’ll have to buy the netflix-hulu-disney-peacock-hbo-starz bundle or the other one with all the rest. Then they can keep cranking up the price because it’s all or nothing. Prices will go up until too many people choose the “nothing” option, then they’ll start doing a “build your own package” to let you drop half and save 10% just because you want one of the services.
