- Comment on Min wage in most states is so sad 3 days ago:
Lots of us, maybe even most, are under surveillance every minute we are at our job. A politician’s job is 24/7 while they are in office. It wouldn’t be necessary if politicians never lied or took bribes, but we live in reality.
- Comment on Min wage in most states is so sad 4 days ago:
Most importantly, 24/7 surveillance. No secrets. No back room deals.
- Comment on is there a name for when you stop preventing a problem thinking it's solved and it comes back? 1 week ago:
Like God said to Bender in Futurama “When you do things right, people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all”. I propose calling this Bender’s Paradox.
- Comment on Food served to US service men & women. 1 week ago:
My dad was on an aircraft carrier when he served. One of his favorite stories to tell was when his ship was riding out a hurricane and fishing trawlers couldn’t get into port to unload their catch. The trawlers sold the ship for next to nothing tons of the biggest shrimp they had ever seen. It took 3-4 bites to eat each shrimp. The sailors stuffed themselves on shrimp for the next week.

You can make pesto with mint instead of basil (though using both its best).

I think pansexual should be for people who would fuck an alien who has no corollary on the human gender spectrum.
- Comment on What would happen if the US got rid of the majority of their bases and brought all the stationed soldiers home? What would be the impact on society, the economy, and other things? 2 months ago:
Many places also use the US military as a deterrent in lieu of having their own defense. Poland just requested a large US base to deter Russian invasion. South Korea would certainly be in trouble if we left.

The Sonic & Knuckles “adapter” was made to have Sonic 2 and 3 cartridges plug into it. It allowed adding knuckles to 2 and created an expanded version of 3 which completed the story. The 32X is an adapter that upgraded the 16 bit console to play 32 bit games. The side of the Sega console had a slot where a Sega CD (cd-rom drive) could plug in. Apparently the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge fits into it, or at least appears to.

So rent a boss and scuba gear and putter around the coast of Florida for a few days.
Buying groceries with cash is nice and all, but you will never put a dent in that much money doing it that way.

It’s a lot harder to explain bundles of cash. Remove any identifying marking on the gold and claim it as marine salvage.
- Comment on Is there a way I can get someone or some company to get me books that are illegal in the US? And if so how would I go about it without losing half or all my money? 3 months ago:
It’s a shadow library. It lets you download a wide variety of ebooks.

- Comment on It's unacceptable that people like Jeff Bezos exist. 4 months ago:
Just some back of the envelope math. With $290 billion, he could give each of those 600,000 people $10k a year for the next 48 years and still have $2 billion left over. And that is without considering interest or investment in the meantime.

Would you really trust podiatrists or proctologists who were in it just for the love of the game?

Any monopoly that is too big and important to be broken up needs to be nationalized.

We are increasingly finding out that gut biome affects mood because the majority of serotonin and dopamine are produced in the gut. While I have to see any conclusive research, I would not be the least surprised to see a direct link between glycophosphate and depression discovered in the future.

I am so down with this fantasy, but I might be too heavy for a pony. I’ve always wanted a donkey though because I found out they can be friends with dogs. My poodle/sheepdog would love a donkey buddy named Clip Clop.

You can add a third tier to the system: fresh water tilapia. The waste from the tilapia feeds the shrimp and the water from both fertilize the plants. The idea is to replicate natural nutrient cycles. The whole setup can be done outside in warmer climates, or indoors using LED grow lights. I’ve seen outdoor grow setups done in old in-ground swimming pools.
- Comment on Anon Promotes Shrimp Farming 5 months ago:
Gotta up your hydroponics game bro! Raise fresh water prawns are bigger and you can grow hydroponic greens over them which are sustained by the nutrients from the prawn waste.

Only asking people with health insurance if they are happy with the American healthcare system is a bit like asking people in a boat if they are drowning. Ask the 8% of the population and more than 11% of American adults who don’t have health insurance what they think of the system. And that data is prior to implementation of Trump’s OBBBA which kicks 10-15 million people off Medicaid/Medicare.
- Comment on NYC Vs. Tokyo 6 months ago:
Yes, it doesn’t say what you claim anywhere. Can you explain how you came to the 70% figure?
- Comment on NYC Vs. Tokyo 6 months ago:
23% think it’s in major crisis and 47% think it has major problems. That’s 70% who don’t think the system is good. It proves you are wrong.
- Comment on NYC Vs. Tokyo 6 months ago:
Our current system works fine for most Americans.
That statement alone discredits everything you say. “A record 23 % of Americans believe the United States healthcare system is “in a state of crisis” and 47% think it has “major problems,” according to a recent poll from the West Health-Gallup Center on Healthcare in America.”
