An American thing? Do people in other countries drive and hold the shotgun too?
- Comment on Have most people never seen a full starry night sky 3 weeks ago:
I’ve never been there but have spent lots of time in the PA Wilds, the region which encompasses it and a whole lot more. The reservoir I described is the Allegheny Reservoir to the west of Cherry Springs
- Comment on Have most people never seen a full starry night sky 3 weeks ago:
I’ve spent quite a bit of time backpacking in Pennsylvania. One of my favorite places is a reservoir where they lower the water level drastically in the winter months. You can walk out to where it’s normally underwater, lie on your back and have a 360 degree unobstructed view of the night sky. There are so many stars that you can’t pick out constellations. I’ve seen what i assume were satellites, a continous red glare moving incredibly fast and silent. Unfortunately development is encroaching. First a new highway then a casino.

Being smart about one thing doesn’t mean a person is smart about all things.
- Comment on Epstein puts my morality into perspective 3 weeks ago:
Don’t forget, while the Qanon BS is flourishing, a former Speaker of the House (3rd in line to the presidecy) gets imprisoned for molesting at least four teenage boys.
- Comment on Human civilization won't last forever; someday there will be a last movie ever made 3 weeks ago:
I was just thinking this would make a good story. Solar panels begin to fail, the software is aware and experiences self preservation. Real Issac Asimov stuff
- Comment on Human civilization won't last forever; someday there will be a last movie ever made 4 weeks ago:
AI will continue making movies after we’re gone. Bots will give reviews and post their opinion in forums
- Comment on How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news? 4 weeks ago:
Scan headlines but only read what affects me. These days we hear about all the awful things that happen around the word but our ability to do something about them is still the same as a hundred years ago

- Comment on Humans can be tracked with unique 'fingerprint' based on how their bodies block Wi-Fi signals 4 weeks ago:
Reminds me of the Christian Bale batman movie where he could spy on everywhere from the bat cave. Seemed so far fetched it almost ruined the movie
- Comment on Old Man Guide to Grooming 4 weeks ago:
At the barbershop I went to regularly, the women barbers would ask if I wanted my eyebrows trimmed and I always declined. One visit a guy cuts my hair and trims them without asking. What the he’ll was I thinking? I no longer look like the Winter Warlock

Technically he owns the majority stock in two mega media conglomerates that own these companies. Right now he and his children are fighting over ownership after he dies theguardian.com/…/the-guardian-view-on-the-murdoc…

Bold of you to assume folks here pay for their news

Sarcastic humor aside, migratory agricultural work is a thing in the US. Some of my friends did it back in the 80’s. Live in a tent on site, earn by how much you pick, save money because no rent and no place to spend. No federal taxes. Blueberries here, apples there, travel to where the crops need picking. Clean fish in Alaska or work on the boats.

Don’t worry. Trump is making sure you can get a job picking crops. You’ll be living in a tent. No rent, not utilities. You’re welcome!

Top. Why would you abandon a mattress if it was all the way at the bottom?
- Comment on But I am mighty!! 1 month ago:
I put on sun screen every morning to ward off basal cell skin cancer. It sucks but it’s cheaper than going to the dermatologist to have basal cell skin cancer removed. The worst part is getting it in my eyes. On the plus side, the splotchy age spots on my temples have disappeared
- Comment on I want these walls back 2 months ago:
Huh I’ve never seen a wall of these and I’m old enough to remember the 70’s. Glass block was something you replaced your old basement with

- Comment on Can deliberate noise harassment still be a crime if it's done every day from 7:30 AM till 10:30-11:30 PM? 2 months ago:
Show him YouTube videos of the fox making the same noise? Hopefully you can convince him
- Comment on Special sampling opportunity 2 months ago:
I’m a connoisseur myself and travel with my own stash. The stuff they have in most public restrooms is so cheap it’s like wiping your ass with a CVS receipt.
- Comment on Rip willy boy 2 months ago:
I am on team Will Smith with this one. Never give a woman of color a hard time about her hair. I’d rather diffuse a bomb while in shark infested waters. I’ve been punk rock for 40+ years, had a mowhawk and other hairstyles outside of the norm (people used to want to fight you over this) and no demographic of human being has been more supportive when it comes to taking chances with fashion than black women. This is a hill I will die on

No billing fee?
- Comment on YSK how to unclog a toilet 2 months ago:
There is always the possibility the clog isn’t in the toilet itself but further down the drain. You can test this by running faucets and seeing if the sinks drain properly

Back in my day, if a lady did this in front of you, you were expected to tuck a dollar in her wasteband.
