- Comment on Realistically, what do people plan to do on the Moon and Mars that requires a permanent, or long term human presence there? 6 days ago:
That already seems to be the case, I’m with the other commenters who think it’s a distraction and/or window dressing for their horrible actions here on earth.

That’s a polite way to say living on rice and beans is a healthy choice.

They’re delicious and cheap, I don’t care if they have horse meat in them.

- Comment on ‘A maelstrom of his own making’: how Ed Sheeran’s tour turned into a full-blown culture war 1 week ago:
Just saw Gorillaz last night and most of those things were the same experience, but then his melodica broke he chucked it over his shoulder, then the backup one didn’t work and he disappeared for the rest of song while the the guitarist kinda took over and encourages everyone to sing to fill in until Del’s part.
It works out and he was back for the next song, but kinda had a temper tantrumy vibe.
- Comment on Winter is coming 1 week ago:
You need better layers then. If it’s your face that’s a problem get a good scarf and angle it so your breath blows back up over your nose and cheeks.
I’ve been out and comfortable in -20°F, but much below that and it get tricky without goggles, and boot and glove warmers.

Put in a search date that limits results to before AI image generators and Etsy’s IPO and you’ll get much better results for most non-current events.

- Comment on When the Democrats regain power, their centrist leadership will claim, "We can't do anything because...". Don't be fooled. We need to get the corporate centrists out and real progressives in! 3 weeks ago:
We also need to keep protesting for them to do the things we need them to do.
Getting complacent when a D is elected won’t fix these problems.

2 big things.

Stevie Wonder is still alive.

He went blind from being born prematurely and his retinas never developed properly. He might be able to detect light or shadow. But he’s really blind. And has a history of having fun messing with people about it too.

Wide angle lens distortion. The camera is probably a lot closer to the whole scene than it appears, and because of that, it’s closest to whether of in the middle foreground of the frame.

The little electric ones that cut through aluminum poles are probably plenty. Lithium ion power tool batteries are crazy powerful at this point so there’s no need to mess around with gas axes anymore.
- Comment on Fuckin CEO's and billionaires gotta go 3 weeks ago:
If any new billionaire would drop dead too, then that might make a change, though I’m sure families would get together and make $999,999aires in short time.
The problem would still be the sociopaths who want to control more than their sociopath “competitors” (in the biggest number game, not competitors in markets, which none of them want).
Most of them care about either the biggest number, most power, or most fame, or mixes of the 3.
- Comment on Fuckin CEO's and billionaires gotta go 3 weeks ago:
I don’t disagree with the point of this post, but the image of the chainsaw in the article was completely incorrectly captioned.
It is actually a photo of an electric powered (not electric start) 2 man chainsaw (not one man) that weights 48 kg (106 lb).
So is the author not careful, or did a slop machine make it?
Also I’ve never seen of an electric start chainsaw in person and there were only a couple models in the 70s that made it to consumers and had weird removable batteries.

Yeah, but still you need to heat the oil long enough to polymerize or it’s just going to be an oily mess in the cupboard.

How fast is your stove/oven? Mine takes at least 10-12 minutes to even get hot enough in the first place.

Reals hex keys, yes. IKEA keys are only made to last one build.

Plus if they saw this, they’ve also seen more than enough batein’ to care about a rusty pan or 3.

Yeah. Hours more, unless you don’t mind the rust taste.

It’s gloss white on the wood and flat white on the walls, but it comes out cream colored from all the layers of cigarette smoke it’s covering.

Did they confirm both cars were actually stolen, and not just that ALPRs had fucked up and reported the played wrong?

Depending on the brand it might have been better 40 years ago. Or if it was wonder bread, you just liked the sugar in it.

We used to collect neat fossils along Lake Michigan as kids.
- Comment on Those moutains are so quaint 1 month ago:
Eh, underestimating new England’s 4000 footers is how most people end up dying out there. The trees are way more dense, and all the same age because of re-forestation after the 1800s. So going off trail is a terrible idea.
Also as was said before, the puny 6000ft Mount Washington wind speed is actually the highest recorded on earth (not inside a tornado anyway). But it’s just a symptom of how fast the weather changes and that is most often what kills people.

Our dog is kinda gray, but his hair is banded black/white/black. So it shows up on anything.
Unfortunately he sheds like 2 dogs so we’re ultimately in the same boat.
Reusable grocery bags are the most embarrassing, so I end up cleaning them every week.

- Comment on Most could work on anyone really 4 months ago:
I’m 6’3 and tall to most people, but fit under most doors just fine.
Basement stairs can fuck right off though I’ve done that lotsa times and it managed to be a surprising painful thing every time.
Also I think I’d laugh if someone said and if the short guy things to me, I get called things like string bean and “big guy” by bros who don’t know me.
