Gold is a actually extremely useful, and has a ton of practical applications where it’s not used because of cost.
- Comment on amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity 3 weeks ago:
. Just call it 90 minutes. If you use minutes it sounds like less time
- Comment on Some of you are too young to know what this is 3 weeks ago:
That’s a myth. DVDs tend to lose synchronicity if you don’t rewind them and always turn them the same direction. Why do you think there is subtitle timing adjustment in most media players?
- Comment on Some of you are too young to know what this is 3 weeks ago:
Might have been a joke to you.
I have my collection all rewound and ready to go.
- Comment on What’s the difference between communism and socialism? 5 weeks ago:
It’s even muddier than that. Most socialist parties in Europe have no intention to move towards communism, they are more akin to social democrats.
- Comment on Europemaxxing 5 weeks ago:
Yeah. Southern Europe, and especially Spain are really triggered about the omission of siesta there!

Interestingly, horses sweat, dogs don’t.
- Comment on Best Friend 🫂 5 weeks ago:
I’ve ridden horses for much of my life, and always shared my life with dogs.
A good horse you have a bond with is freaking awesome, but dogs are just on another level.
We don’t deserve dogs.

In my area leishmaniasis is endemic. There is no way I’m not going to use a collar or fur drops.
Leishmaniasis is a horrible disease for dogs.
- Comment on The person who mounted a spice rack into the fucking studs so a fridge won't fit there 1 month ago:
Because screwdrivers are regulated, screwdriver licenses are hard to obtain, and while most people can do the clockwise thing, counterclockwise is a skill that takes years to master.

Viscious? I think you meant viscous

My father was a fighter pilot. He explained that at a sufficiently sharp angle, hitting water was like hitting concrete.
- Comment on type shit 1 month ago:
It’s interesting that the pro circumcision crowd who rant about hygiene don’t support girls having their labia cut off to prevent grime from accumulating between the folds. Circumcision should be reserved for actual medical reasons, like phimosis, and if possible at age of consent.

It’s highly relevant, since parents are the ultimate arbiters of their childrens’ health and well-being.
Precisely. Parents should protect their children from genital mutilation.

Roundabouts should decrease premiums, as they essentially eliminate Tbone collisions
- Comment on America 1 month ago:
I have for years named files that have a chronological component ymd , and if hours are relevant, hm. A few ymdhm.
Makes a lot of sense when ordering directories.

Or a 200% yellow cursor, like I do
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 2 months ago:
What a muddy comment. Took me two reads to try to figure out the argument therein, after which I stopped.
- Comment on IYKYK 2 months ago:
Not ideal, but you should ALWAYS sand down the area to be soldered anyway, so go ahead do the whole part.
- Comment on I was on social media before web browsers existed. I am Legion. 2 months ago:
Same here, but I believe that those savvy enough should be getting into the conversation, instead of sneering at the ignorant lawmakers.
It’s a tough problem that should be handled by interdisciplinary panels, and then coded into law in a non partisan way, instead of knee jerk legislation with the only intent of getting votes.
What we have right now is “War on drugs” shit.

My first girlfriend’s brat sister got grossed out when I told her that eggs were literally shitted out by hens. Beautiful twist. She went on to get a food safety degree.
- Comment on So how would you handle this? 3 months ago:
If those are regular size flooring slats, the screws are impossibly large. I call fake.
- Comment on lightbulbs 3 months ago:
I have a somewhat basic home automation, and my lights are programmed to be cooler during daylight hours (where necessary, desk lamp, corridor, etc), and they become warmer at night. The reverse happens early morning in winter, where I wake up while still dark.

Heh, neither. Voyager had saved text from an earlier unsent reply, and on the phone it was above the fold, so I didn’t see it.

I don’t know why you are being downvoted.
The general populace is uneducated/dumb, that’s why safeguards are implemented.
I’m all for the idea of freedom, but making the exercise of that freedom informed.
I do onsite IT support, and much of my job is preventing and undoing user fuckups.
How many apps do you need to install per day? How many of those are sideloaded? I think that
If you look into fauna before each major extintion events, things get weirder and weirder, so weird that Hollywood would have a hard time selling a movie with that shit
