- Comment on How bad is it that Israel has attacked Iran? 3 days ago:
That’s glossing over the many times he tells people to kill each other.
- Comment on Ads when you’re pumping gas 6 days ago:
I’m scared because I have a huge iPad for a center console.
- Comment on Ads when you’re pumping gas 1 week ago:
I’d say this is a point for electric cars, but it’s only a matter of time until those start playing ads… And you’re gonna be there for 10-30 minutes…
- Comment on "And my dick fucks your wife more than you do. What's your point?" 1 week ago:
“Does is keep better time than my 15 dollar digital Casio? Is it sturdier? Will it last longer? Is it more comfortable? No? So you spent a ridiculous amount of money to buy a less functional watch made out of precious essential materials just to try to impress people like me?”
Honestly though, if you want to piss watch people off, just say “Oh, it looks just like a regular watch, thanks for pointing it out”.
- Comment on Why is Jordan Peterson both a Christian and not a Christian? 1 week ago:
Yeah, after watching his Jubilee session, Jordan’s debate strategy boils down to…“I’d like to nitpick the definition of every word and supplant it with my own”.
- Comment on The joy of quitting a shit job with an asshole boss 1 week ago:
They do keep records, but rarely share them.
If your prospective employer says that they didn’t hire you because of what a previous employer said about you, and that previous employer doesn’t have rock solid evidence, then you can sue for lost wages, defamation, and get a nice chunk of policy.
When people called the store I was managing to get info on past employees, the only thing we would confirm was the time range they worked for us,
- Comment on This fell off my car, can I just rip it off and not care? 1 week ago:
Zipties, thread, scrap wire… I would try to put it back on, even badly if necessary.
No it is not necessary for your car to work. However…
It helps improve the fuel economy of your vehicle, which will save you money. It will reduce rust and wear on your vehicle, which will save you money. It costs a ridiculous amount of money to replace that piece of plastic. Typically, those pieces are layered on, and the the piece behind it may rely on the one in front to stay attached correctly.
If you plan to have the car for more than a year or two, I would recommend finding a way to remove it properly, or re-fasten it to the car.

Ice-Cube is now stuck in my ceiling fan.
- Comment on Anon visits a guy's house 1 week ago:
You’re assuming that all the contamination is on the surface, but there is hair, lint, and other particles under your fridge that will stick to the ice.
Also, your example of motor oil was a poor choice. Oil is probably not going to stick to your ice, unless it is in contact long enough to freeze, or get viscous enough to cling to it, and oil will not rinse away cleanly.

My momma used to say “The broccoli is done when it can run through a colander”
- Comment on You really have to reach back to remember how THIS worked in your car 2 weeks ago:
Get a Bluetooth AUX receiver.
- Comment on The Faculty, any day 2 weeks ago:
Tremors 2 is peak cinema IMHO. I only wish they had spent a little more on the CGI, or replaced it all with practical effects.
- Comment on The Faculty, any day 2 weeks ago:
“THIS IS WHAT I WANT”
- Comment on The Faculty, any day 2 weeks ago:
Good movie. I reference the “Chefs do that.” line a whole lot. My wife was disappointed when she learned where it came from.
- Comment on The Faculty, any day 2 weeks ago:
Honestly, Geoffrey Rush is just really good and being bad. I’ll watch any movie where he plays the villain.
- Comment on So close! 2 weeks ago:
Acceptable.
I’m just having flashbacks of squishy broccoli from my childhood. No child should ever have to go through what I did.
- Comment on So close! 2 weeks ago:
Hominy intensifies.
- Comment on So close! 2 weeks ago:
Please stop boiling broccoli.
Fry it up, or get yourself a steamer basket.
- Comment on Anon misses the classic design 2 weeks ago:
Can’t roll it into a bunker or small window.
- Comment on WTF is a rural town in the USA? 2 weeks ago:
The town my wife grew up in has 1 traffic light, and it’s of the blinking yellow variety.
Rural town.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 2 weeks ago:
Metro 2033. Played it in the dark with good surround sound headphones on, and it’s positively claustrophobic.
Last Light is good too, but at little too optimistic IMHO. 2033 nails that endless pit of despair feeling, with just enough lucky breaks that you might make it through.
- Comment on This ad that claims that windows 11 is 3 times faster than windows 10 2 weeks ago:
Sorry, all I got is NVME right now anyway. I’ll just have to take your word for it.
- Comment on This ad that claims that windows 11 is 3 times faster than windows 10 2 weeks ago:
On the one hand, using more RAM leaves less room for your stuff.
On the other hand, unused RAM doesn’t do anything for you.
So Windows 11 may actually be faster with sufficient RAM, but it’s gonna leave nothing for your applications.
- Comment on This ad that claims that windows 11 is 3 times faster than windows 10 2 weeks ago:
SATA 600MB/S
NVME 3500MB/S
Maybe not an order of magnitude faster, but at least 5x faster…
Don’t @ me about the numbers, just did a quick search for their read speeds.
- Comment on This ad that claims that windows 11 is 3 times faster than windows 10 2 weeks ago:
Win 11 is 8gb minimum for a useable experience.
The only thing it is faster at than 10 is getting me to commit to switching to Linux.
- Comment on Yes 3 weeks ago:
Unethical life pro trip. If you are installing windows xp through 7 and need a license key, just search on eBay for “Laptop Parts Only” and find an auction where someone was nice enough to post one.
- Comment on Common British L 3 weeks ago:
Depends on where in the Midwest. It’s a big place.
My partner’s small hometown has a few local dishes. One is a Cream of Chicken soup Sandwich, which is awful IMHO, and seasonal fall apple spiced doughnuts, which are fucking amazing.
My town is a foodie heaven, but an hour away in any direction, and you better like fries and burgers, because that’s all there is.
- Comment on Common British L 3 weeks ago:
Peak sarcasm. I love it.
- Comment on For the little guys. 3 weeks ago:
Every day I worry about the Devil’s Pupfish. I’d like to see them one day, but I can understand why tourists aren’t allowed anywhere near the single pool where they still live.
- Comment on Inspired by a friends current vacation 3 weeks ago:
More fiber.
Also, if you wait long enough, it won’t be a struggle.
Depending on how far you need to travel, just bring a 5 gallon bucket with a hole cut in the bottom. Flip it over and shit through the hole. Portable toilet.
