- Comment on U.S. gov't mulls tariffing devices based on the number of chips used and their estimated value — policy would impact nearly every type of electronic device 1 week ago:
Or this is incentive to simplify the devices sent to the US with the complex calculations taking place out of country. Fewer imported chips, more monthly subscriptions.
- Comment on Who got raptured today? 1 week ago:
They all are disqualified for praying in public. Shouldn’t have done that.
Also, presuming to tell God what is what, and vanity.
- Comment on Who got raptured today? 1 week ago:
With a hard cap of 144,000 in Heaven, the rapture happened already.
- Comment on It's depressing, man 1 week ago:
Yes. Though gullible people are often stupid. Skeptical people are not necessarily smart, but have learned to not believe everything said to them.

I don’t know if I would go home at that point…

The roofs were hot. I expect ground level in the shade of the house would be better for efficiency.
Perhaps it had something to do with the location of the indoor unit? I am used to them in the basement or first floor, but some places put them in the ceiling.

I was thinking “gurgle gurgle” as filled with liquid… I don’t know what distinct sound the Vaults in Fallout make.

What was the timing of the US Senate vote to not release the Epstein Files?
- Comment on THIS JUST IN: FBI suspects Kirk was likely targeted, more info to come 3 weeks ago:
That is the nice thing about the American Way. Just call up the neighboring states’ militias and ask who didn’t show up for drills and if any weapons are missing.
- Comment on A conundrum 4 weeks ago:
We know.
There are a number of people that have a home in the country with their family, and they travel to the city to work. Sometimes they are homeless during the work, or rent a small room.
No, it is not the ideal solution, but it is a solution. Fixing the housing situation is beyond most people’s power, and it will take a long time for those trying to fix it to actually fix it.

Given cuts to medicaid and vaccine approvals being rolled back, one had best hurry.

I know a city in California with the heat exchangers on the roof. Do you have any idea why? (The properties were large enough the footprint wouldn’t be an issue.)
Where I am in the USA Midwest the heat exchangers are all on the ground as they are easier to install and maintain.

What does it cost to buy and install a wood burner?
- Comment on Anon tries to meet girls at college 1 month ago:
Live in the dorms and go to parties. The first week before classes start is magical for making friends.
- Comment on HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron 1 month ago:
It is always tempting to try to justify one’s position and get out of being laid-off/fired.
The decision has been made by those that “know your position”, or your manager is being let go next.

- Comment on linus tech tip 2 months ago:
Linus Torvalds is super well known for creating Linux. Linux is heavily used in “tech”. Linus is not a common name globally.
Personally, I had expected that “Linux Tech Tips” was Linux Torvalds giving Linux tech tips. Clearly, I have no bothered to read any of them.

Good on you for not judging people by their looks.
- Comment on linus tech tip 2 months ago:
He chose his channel’s name to be deliberately confusing.

I remember that sort of shit. The girl I knew got divorced so many times after that.
- Comment on I feel like it was on purpose 2 months ago:
Recessions in the USA are just constant. Nothing personal.
- Comment on linus tech tip 2 months ago:
Hate this guy.
There is only one Linus in Linux. Torvalds.
- Comment on Reality vs Fantasy 2 months ago:
What could the motivations of the owner be, if not to make money?
Please add to my list:- prestige
- tax avoidance
- boost retirement savings (in the USA, business owners can stuff their retirement accounts with LOTS of cash.)
- Create and disguise a "sex pad"
- improve the community by providing jobs and/or needed services (start a coffee shop so that there is a coffee shop.)
- time filler
Of those, I think a very healthy 401K contribution from the employer to the employee would be motivating to those already paid well.
Many employees already use the business as a sex pad. (Conference rooms can be gross.)

Seems the pink paper has a backing on it to stiffen it. Upper left corner seems to show the backing, which may be pink cardboard. Given the mounting location, I would expect it to be “floppy” like the “lined” paper without a stiffener. All of my above to say, I think someone put a “lot” of effort into the pink sign.
- Comment on Los Angeles paid $400M+ in 4 years to people hurt/killed on the streets. LA spends more money paying off people injured or killed by its street designs than it spends making streets safer. 2 months ago:
Interestingly, not a video about police brutality, but about known unsafe roads.
