- Comment on That's how the world works. 1 week ago:
Yeah, my peppers got too much calcium and had black ends. Cucumbers got too yellow. Cabbage worked fine, but I fucking hate cabbage. Beans were seriously lacking. Shit certainly isn’t easy, and it’s way to easy to think, hey, I can do this no problem!

I played lacrosse in middle school, and when we’d stop we’d try taking the caps from our Gatorades and rolling them on the windshield of cars next to us.
I can’t stand littering now, I do town cleanups, and maybe it’s my way of trying to undo my stupidity.

They’re still shit. I bring my young kids to the park and around 430 the 12-15 year old kids roll in and are an absolute menace, like clockwork. Littering, cursing loudly, riding their bikes in between the play equipment.
I think there’s a certain age where shitheads will always be shitheads. They get this little taste of freedom that comes with adolescence and they go overboard. I think it is just a part of life.
I try to say to my kids, hey, you don’t like how they’re acting now right? Then don’t do it when you’re their age. We will see if that works.
- Comment on As a Chinese American, if I wanna travel internationally, is it better to just say I'm American, or pretend to be a Chinese National (to hide from Anti-American sentinments)? 1 week ago:
I tell people I’m from New Jersey. Always have. America has always been way, way too broad a term. I don’t feel any connection with people from Texas or California, certainly not any of the deep south. Shit, I barely feel a connection with people from Pennsylvania.
If they say “Huh, New Jersey?” I say I’m an hour from NYC, and then that usually keeps that discussion rolling in a nice way.

I never even thought of calling 1000 kilopascals a MEGAPASCAL. Haven’t dealt with physics or anything since the cup of coffee that was my college career, so I don’t exactly go around using it, but I love it. I just love it.

Except people just straight up copy paste gpt output. At the very least people would say “I googled and got this result and that result.” We’ve taken what was minimal work and made it minimaler.

- Comment on Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them 2 weeks ago:
I agree with everything you said except shoe-in, because it’s shoo-in.
But you articulated (better than I was going to) the number one issue. Power companies need insurance and their insurance will be affected if ordinance permits basically unchecked generators being plugged into the grid. And before anyone says it, you are not allowed to just plug your generator into your house. Does it happen? Yeah, people have been dumb since day one.
But there are transfer switches that allow for this operation in a safe manner, and the easiest way to deal with this is to have them installed by default in new construction, and to provide incentive for upgrading your panel to include one.
- Comment on Glorious cracked out wall kitten returns with more wisdom for the masses. 2 weeks ago:
I’m trying not to hit things, first and foremost, and I think backing in provides as better opportunity for that.
- Comment on Glorious cracked out wall kitten returns with more wisdom for the masses. 2 weeks ago:
You know, you are absolutely right and I definitely didn’t think about that. In fact, I pull in in the Costco parking lot, because that’s the one place I really need that trunk access. So great point, absolutely right.
My grocery trips are generally smaller and more frequent, just open the front door, toss things on front seat, and get in the other side.
- Comment on Glorious cracked out wall kitten returns with more wisdom for the masses. 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, when you back into a parking spot, is there traffic moving around in it? How about when you back out, are you backing into a lane of travel? To me, that’s the logic.
When you back in, you are already occupying a lane of travel, and therefore you have some modicum of control over it. Ideally, what I would love to see are angled parking spots intended for backing in, it is the true superior parking configuration, but falls to an opposition that is afraid to back into parking spots, but has no problem backing into a lane of travel.
- Comment on Glorious cracked out wall kitten returns with more wisdom for the masses. 2 weeks ago:
Back in everywhere, all the time, is a phrase I’ve said to many people. There is never a reason to not back in, and the end result is always a better parking job and an easier exit.
I picked it up driving ambulances and I’ll never go back. Being able to drive really well in reverse is an added bonus, I had to back an F430 with a box on the back up some steep, thin, windy driveways.

About a third of the illiterates in the US just don’t speak English. They may be literate just fine in their native tongue, but that rate captures English literacy.
- Comment on Fascism bad. 2 weeks ago:
Went to a Mediterranean restaurant for dinner with my wife. We celebrated her birthday, and so decided to check the dessert menu. We generally don’t get dessert, just never really lie thing, but this menu has a dessert called amygdalopita, which piques my interest. Why would they name it after part of the brain?
And so upon further research, we discovered that the Greek word αμύγδαλο (amýgdalo) means almond. And this really got my wheels turning, because it brought back memory of EMT classes, way back in like 2003, where they talked about the amygdala being named such due tonit being almond shaped.
So I like a dessert that not only tasted great, but also helped me make connections, maybe fire off some neurons I hadn’t in a while.
- Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US 2 weeks ago:
They should make an app where you have to swipe right on your driver/passenger, and then the app notifies you and you can strike up a conversation and see whether or not you are compatible for ride-sharing.

That’s concerning!

I cook chicken breasts on 425. I do everything on 425, in fact, it’s the perfect temperature for just about anything that needs to be ovened. I remember being told it would dry my chicken out, but it’s perfect.
Now, a whole chicken works be a different story. Maybe.

I didn’t watch Succession past an episode or two, but probably there.
Unrelated, his pocket square looks like a horse head.
- Comment on ..? 4 weeks ago:
We need to just start shitposting in every community, because everything is shitpost, and to deny that is to deny life. When you wake up in the morning, that’s shitpost. When you drink a cup of coffee, that’s shitpost. Drive to work, shitpost. It’s all shitpost, and so I think all we can do is shitpost everywhere.

I listen to music with no lyrics, and I make some of my own. What’s the politics in that? I build Lego with my kid. I eat a sandwich for lunch.

Except they’re the same person. The people who complain most about Microsoft here also go on to add “That’s why I switched to my Linux high horse” nine times out of ten.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Oddly enough, I’m on the opposite side. Popularity ruins good things. I’m probably just bitter and cynical though. And that’s also not to say that there aren’t things with massive popularity that are also good.

Yeah, my vinyl collection is a decoration. The 20TB of storage connected to my PC is where the magic happens.

- Comment on Employa destroya 🫵😫 5 weeks ago:
I’m not aware of anywhere that pays (or is even allowed to pay) baristas what waiters and bartenders get. There may be exceptions. This post seems to be about literally anyplace with a new POS having basically options for 20-30% tips, despite the person behind it making like $15 an hour (at least where I live). Fortunately, lately, I’ll have the person reach around and press the “no tip” button often enough, since it’s usually the least obvious option available.

Damn, thank you. We’re snowed in AF here in Jersey (New), and I needed a good family flick, the kids are shit at helping me pick.
