The success of the USA is generally because of its geographical location and the unfortunate economic conditions that hit Europe due to WW2.
Do not forget slavery. This is huge to the success of the US.

This can happen but it’s rare. I’ve seen fiber tied in tight knots still work.

Yeah man you can fuck up fiber all kinds of ways and it still works great. Short of intentionally stomping the patch it’s fine.

Hey smart person, my cats wrecked my receiver by ripping out the HDMIs too many times, specifically the ARC. I’m barely an amateur at solder, is there anything I can do?

Makes sense, thanks!

How is it that a US citizen, for example, is allowed to purchase and consume alcohol in intentional waters at age 18 when the law is 21 in their country?
- Comment on They did the math 3 weeks ago:
So I was 20 years old and driving drunk. Yes I was/am an idiot. I have never driven drunk in the 21 years since. I was so stupid I was trying to creep alleyways instead of just driving normally to get back to my apartment.
I pulled out of an alley and a man in a truck speeding very much over the limit hit the front right on the car as I was driving, totalling both. He hit me so hard my car spun over 360 degrees, off the road and into a tree. We were both unhurt.
So I get out of the car and approach the guy who’s cussing me out and getting his phone. I begged him not to call the police (which was a joke this was a bad crash right across the tracks from downtown, not like they weren’t coming anyway). The guy says fuck you and calls the cops.
He was drunk too. We rode to jail handcuffed side by side in the same car. We got out on PR next day and we see each other. The guy is like hey motherfucker you cost me my job. I just said you called the cops on yourself!
Don’t drive drunk kids. I was broke and this left me without a car for eight years as I couldn’t get enough money together to pay the fine and take the classes, which was way way more than the price of a decent used car. I was also sentenced to additional time in county jail and it’s the most scared I’ve ever been, and I’d had guns shoved in my face twice before this happened, and I’d been beaten by three cops in custody on another occasion. Jail was fucking terrifying. Just don’t do it. There’s always another option.

We was asking for cups of uncooked pizza sauce instead of the safe prepackaged pizza sauce we had. The sauce is allowed to set out for up to 10 hours after it comes out of the can, but cannot be served unless cooked.

- Comment on GTA3 on the Sega Dreamcast is incredible 4 weeks ago:
We got so much use out of the Dreamcast. I bought one, downloaded every NES game ever made, burned it on a disc and that disc never left the console. It was a Nintendo machine. I miss it.
- Comment on This is in a small convenience store where you can buy food things and heat them up while in the store 4 weeks ago:
Yeah but microwave would be hard to get the temp right. It’s better to use hand warmers. Not that I would know anything about that.

“Wouldn’t hurt you to smile”
I’ve heard that before. Murderous rage.
Then the guy who was holding up the line asking to be given something we didn’t do. Demands manager. I come over.
He demands I give him something that was against policy and technically a health code violation. This goes on for a long time. I gave in because this was dinner rush and the line for pickup was out the door and every time I get held up like this there are fires I’m not fighting growing out of control.
Motherfucker says “Was that so hard” and walks away laughing.
I don’t remember what he looked like, and I am not a violent man. But if I saw him again and knew it was him I would beat the shit out of that man today.

- Comment on Report states EV battery replacements will cost less than fixing a gas engine by 2030 1 month ago:
From the article:
Yet, it is is untrue to state that modern EVs will ever require a battery replacement, considering that most EVs will likely outlast their batteries.
This statement contradicts itself. What is that even supposed to mean?

I have quit twice and both times vaping was the only thing that worked. I’m back to smoking now but if life ever gets less stressful I’ll try again.
- Comment on Commonwealth Bank to charge customers $3 'withdrawal fee' to access their own cash 1 month ago:
For anyone who doesn’t know, you can go into your bank account settings and disable “Overdraft Protection”. Once you do this, your transaction will be declined if there are insufficient funds instead of overdrafting your account and charging you $30 or whatever it is now.

I’m coming from a perspective where drugs should be legal and regulated. So anyone being imprisoned or worse for drugs is sick to me. I’m glad some addicts got better, but at what cost?

Eh live a little. If the locals are drinking it it’s fine. This is a very unlikely fuck up. Whoever made that booze is probably guilt and grief stricken. I can’t imagine how they feel, if they aren’t dead themselves.
