One of my previous accounts was banned site-wide on world for “rule violations” with the specific rule being for one community only, and the only thing I had done in that community was upvote a comment that said essentially “if you immediately start out an argument by insulting the person, you aren’t going to win them over to your side”

And don’t you DARE make comparisons to any fascist regime from the 1930s and 40s in Europe, that’s ANTISEMITIC because you hate ALL JEWISH PEOPLE when you CRITICIZE ISRAEL

… ^Do I really need to put an /s here^?

I’ve seen plenty of different types of solar panels, some specifically for agriculture use that have small gaps between the solar cells to allow for more sun to reach plants.

I’m not sure how that affects solar panel output/longevity but it can’t be too much of a hit.

My wife thought we were “in the country” when she moved in.

I can see a hospital from my front door.

If shit hit the fan, we are definitely not “in the country” enough to not have to worry about it immediately.

Heck, if it’s zombies, we will be dealing with them before they take over the world, since they’d be wandering away from hospitals in search of flesh.

If it’s bombs, we live too close to secondary and tertiary targets to be unaffected, especially if there are storms blowing fallout up to us.

I guess there isn’t much point to my comment beyond “make sure you go really far out to where you can’t see city glows on the horizon at night.”

I hope someone can do this to microslop, then it’ll get fixed in 20 minutes. (and break 6 other things in the process)

Had the DOJ just purchased it from the start, we would never even be hearing about it.

Again.

I was planning on buying my wife a laptop so we can play games together. Not anymore.

I was also hoping to upgrade my RAM this year, but that’s definitely not happening now.

Honestly I probably just won’t be upgrading for another 5-7years.

Crazy how greed will drive off all business even after the price spike has come down.

No, gyms are capitalism honeypots for fitbros

I work out at home with body weight and everyday heavy objects.

Also yoga.

My first car was a Nissan altima, I pulled apart to get running. I wanted to go off road at a friend’s property, there’s not much difficult terrain, like bouldering or anything, just bumpy and filled with potholes that catch cars every time they hosted large events.

I put a 2in lift kit on it, and after becoming confident it won’t get stuck at my friends house, I got a winch that I could store in the trunk, an extra scissor jack, took that fucker to the woods and tried a few trails popular with jeeps and Subarus.

It’s crazy what kind of stuff you can get up to if you don’t care a ton about the car you’re driving. Eventually put the extra stuff in my pickup, and that car slowly got used less and less until it blew a gasket into cyl 5 and I decided I didn’t want to pull the entire engine apart a second time.

If you don’t “look the part” then people will judge harshly regardless of how (in)capable you are at something.

Goes for a lot of things in life.

Nah, I want someone to like me for me, not because magic.

On the one hand, you kind of are making yourself a lie of sorts, which is unethical.

On the other hand, presumably the magic is permanent and that’s just the new you, forever, so it’s not a lie. You’ve just changed your personality to fit their desire/needs.

So much in the way that Aladdin became a prince via phenomenal cosmic power, he really was a prince and not a fake prince, and therefore never really lied to jasmine about that (he just about literally any part of his past as a prince, since he wasn’t until yesterday), because genie magic isnt some cheap parlor trick.

So yeah, as long as you are the one permanently changing and you don’t lie about it then I guess that’s okay with me.

Sure, here’s 50 cents for the coffee.

Now here’s the bill for the ride, the seat cleaning where you sat, the new air freshener since that’s obviously been used now, my consulting fee, conversation fee, silence fee, and an additional 47.30 for various small consumables like oil, coolant, washer fluid…

Adds up to 1.846,97EUR for the day. You can send that whenever.

Oh right, almost forgot the €200 calculation fee.

Also it’s a 30% interest rate per day for late fees

Benches as an example do show up on renderers like Carta (the one on the OSM website) and can be genuinely useful to individuals.

HOE LI FUKK!

As partner to someone with degenerative and chronic disorders (and the most able-bodied person multiple people trust to push their wheelchairs) this will come in SO handy, and I’m definitely going to be micromapping the shit out of every park and downtown area I visit.

Lmao imagine Arguing what is legal and what is illegal when discussing dealing with ICE and all the illegal shit they do with impunity every say

RTGs do get put out in space, however they aren’t used for everything. If a single rocket experiences Spontaneous Unplanned Disassembly while carrying an RTG, it’s a disaster that spreads radioactive materials.

The entire point of an RTG is to use the waste heat as power, and if I understand RTG design, the cooling fins are to provide the difference in temperature that thermoelectric modules need to produce power. So there isn’t a ton of heat that it gives off in general.

Look at the international space station. It has massive radiator panels, and all it needs to do is house humans and the equipment to keep them alive. A lot of bulkiness of space suits is dedicated to heat management.

The #1 product of data centers is massive amounts of equipment-killing heat. That heat either gets radiated via massive radiator panels, or the space data center cooks it’s own equipment.

I got kicked out of my in-laws for yelling at my spouse s sister for saying this.

My response was “What the fuck did you just say to her? Other people have it much BETTER than you do so why the fuck are you acting so fucking happy? That’s how fucking stupid you sound.”

For context, she had spent the entire 7 hours she had been awake sitting in a hot tub drinking wine and tequila instead of being a parent, and basically dumped all the responsibilities for the children of the day onto the only othertwo adults present, one of whom was having a panic attack. I was les than happy when I showed up after work to pick my spouse up and walked into chaos and her sobbingand hyperventilating in the bathroom.

My In laws are terrible people.

Cool, I don’t remember specifying any country, so I’m not sure why we’re talking as if I’m trying to defend us policy.

And what country are we talking about, exactly? Are you sure you know?

Wow I sure am seeing a lot of thinly veiled “but what about” and “that’s just propaganda you’re being lied to by your government and people online and no I will not provide you with anything other than mockery because lmao amiriteguyz” in these comments
