Their motto :
We start with your shit, and we finish with your ass
- Comment on Why is the term "bloodline" often used instead of "family tree"? 2 weeks ago:
Because trees are made of wood and without blood, your wood isn’t doing anything.
I should go.
- Comment on Is it cheaper to use a plug-in oil radiator to eat an individual room, or run the central heater to heat an individual room and living room? 2 weeks ago:
Another good way to do it is to actually hire a HVAC individual on and have them come out and just look at the system. But be wary of that. Some of them are not exactly the most brightest bulbs in the world. And they will tell you, oh you have to have them all open at the same time you can’t close them. Without actually looking at the system. I’ve run into that to myself. In my house, I can close, almost half of my vents without any issue, and yet a number of techs have told me I can’t do that. Until I make them go and look at the furnace and count the number of vents and look at the size the vents then they go oh yeah, I guess you can.
Like I said some of them are not very bright. So maybe it might pay to hire on a couple of them to really look it over. Make sure they really look at the central system, blower furnace, etc. and then also look at the vents in the size of the vents.
Yes, it cost some money upfront for them to come out and help you with it, but you can get an idea of to what they’re doing.
The other option is to go down to the library and check out a bunch of books on the subject and try to learn it yourself.

This is the exact problem. If you don’t get into the conversation right away. Nothing you say will be heard
- Comment on Why don't we just gather up all the ocean's trash and all the nonrecyclables, put them in a rocket, and launch it into the sun? 2 weeks ago:
Another problem is that each item we throw into the Sun is comprised of atoms. We would literally be taking the atoms that makes up earth and throwing them away to a place where the atoms would no longer be part of earth. While a McDonalds cup isn’t going to catastrophically change earth, do it enough times and we could see a problem.
- Comment on Where does a man get a proper shoe horn that will not break 3 weeks ago:
Get a new one. Go to a shoe cobbler, also to a good shoe store. Then show them your technique. I found it odd that you are bending them so soon. Have them watch you use it. Maybe it’s your technique.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
A solid financial advisor/attorney will be able to give you ideas on where to put that money what to do with it. And they will be able to tell you whether or not the government can or cannot see it.
- Comment on If Biden wanted to could he have people kill Trump since he is in office and SCOTUS said it was ok? 1 month ago:
He could not be prosecuted for it, but my understanding is that the people who killed Trump could be prosecuted because it’s still a crime (it’s just that Biden can’t prosecuted for it)
- Comment on The 42 year old new hire at your job confesses to you that he has had 48 different jobs in his life. What is your opinion on that? 1 month ago:

- Comment on What is going to happen when AI becomes extremely advanced? 2 months ago:
The problem is, we aren’t talking about one industry being lost, we aren’t even talking about two or three industry being lost. We are talking about so many industries it would be impossible to replace all of those jobs and get all those people gainfully employed.
This is at a level that you are not even understanding. This is at a level most people can’t even comprehend. I’m not even sure I realize just how many jobs would be lost. What are you going to do when there are way way way way way way way way more people than there are jobs? It doesn’t matter just going and doing something else there won’t be enough jobs for people. And I’m not talking where we’re at right now where we have more people and we have jobs and there’s some people out of work. We’re talking out of level where people won’t be able to find work.
These companies don’t care. And they’re not going to care. Because they will always be at least somebody to buy their product given they’ll just charge a hell of a lot more. But those few people who have jobs will pay it.
Just in the accounting Industry alone most jobs will be done by AI. A lot of programming jobs will be done by AI. Music creation jobs. A lot of them will be done by AI and I don’t mean the musicians I’m talking even the people behind the scenes. Their jobs will be done by AI. those jobs can be done by AI if you have the vehicle on auto pilot. Building designs can be done by AI. Layout of factories where you put shelves and tools and machines can be done by AI. Hell, you could run a Burger King a lot of by AI and robotics.
This isn’t just go get another job. There won’t be other jobs. Well there’ll be jobs, but there will be so few of them. There’s no way you sustain an economy. Not a massive scale. That’s what you are not understanding.

Yes to basically all the bad things that you just said.
It won’t be pretty.
At some point the citizens storm the proverbial castle with pitch forks.

How anyone developing an interface thinks that is a good idea is beyond me, but I am convinced they are doing multiple lines every morning.

Yup. But at least I had set a bookmark. Although the interface for selecting a bookmark isn’t any better.

Sadly keep pressing left they just cycle back and forth
- Comment on Which one is selected? The "Yes" option or the "No" option? 2 months ago:
No selection was made by me. It showed up with one of them being white and one being black. Can’t remember which side was which. But keep pressing left on the remote and they just cycle back and forth. This is on a bluray player.
