In much of North America not only are the taxes added after; they usually don’t count towards discount values.
$39.99 + tax is still considered below that $40 bar.
- Comment on How to opt out of the privacy nightmare that comes with new Hondas 2 days ago:
You’re not alone on the road.
It’s incredibly unlikely that you’d be in such a bad accident that you couldn’t call for help; while simultaneously being isolated from the public to the point nobody saw your accident and started calling ems/police before you could.
That’s not to say it doesn’t happen; but I definitely wouldn’t be worried about it.
- Comment on Body of last missing worker killed in Baltimore bridge collapse recovered 2 days ago:
Ah, That makes a lot of sense. Ships/ports/maritime law is not my Forte.
I understand they need to be available for the investigation and whatnot, but figured they’d have been put in a hotel for a bit.
- Comment on Body of last missing worker killed in Baltimore bridge collapse recovered 2 days ago:
Damn, didn’t realize the crew has been kept onboard this whole time.
Seems they’ll be kept there for the demolition too.

Dirty secrets about you.
- Comment on If Start menu ads in Windows 11 aren't bad enough, something worse might be on the horizon 2 weeks ago:
If this is how you treat/speak to people; we’re far better off without you.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
- Comment on Meta spent $4.3 billion on its VR division in three months, and made *checks figures* $440 million in return 2 weeks ago:
Right now Meta has the best VR / AR that is easily accessible.
Too bad the company is absolute garbage. I’m not even willing to look at their ‘products’ anymore.
Particularly with articles like this around:

Lmao, because they’ve been so successful with browsers…
- Comment on Tesla Owner Calls Police on Rivian Driver Using Supercharger 3 weeks ago:
The charge ports on non-Teslas, meanwhile, are also in a different spot on the vehicle, meaning they may have to park parallel to a Supercharger, taking up two spots. That’s what happened here; “I had no choice but to park in a way that blocks two stalls,” according to the Rivian driver.

Why would you expect changing the method of payment to effect spending habits…?

If I enter your country illegally and have some kids before you catch me, I’ve gotta leave, but the kids can stay?

Mostly vehicles, but they’re a cheap and common choice for hobby electronics too.

You have more faith in human intelligence than I do…
- Comment on PROOF 4 weeks ago:
I do wonder if it’s something like the Birds Aren’t Real organized conspiracy; but snowballed out of control.

What d’ya suppose is on the other side?
- Comment on PROOF 4 weeks ago:
Kansas is the center of the world? Interesting. You learn new things every day.
Haven’t been there myself, so I’ll take your word on that one.
Thinking back, this hasn’t really answered my original question: how thick is it?
It could be a disc, slowly getting wider and thinner. But it could be a long pole like object, growing fatter but shorter as it spins… Or anything in between.
I hope you and NASA can work out a way to get some photos. A good distanced shot should clear things up pretty quick, I’d think.
- Comment on PROOF 4 weeks ago:
Hmm; so like a Frisbee? Do we live on top with the edges curling down, or on the bottom with the edges curling up? Maybe more like a pizza with really thick crust?
Can you see the edges if you stand in the middle?

If the earth is flat, how thick is it?
Are we walking across a massive dinner plate, or standing on the end of a bit of cosmic re-bar?

- Comment on Plumbing mystery - what is this? 1 month ago:
Perfect. Capping is the better long term solution, but an expansion plug will do the job.
- Comment on Plumbing mystery - what is this? 1 month ago:
“a crazy thing” thanks plumber… Real helpful.
As long as the vertical pipe above it isn’t plugged, you should be fine to just plug that offshoot. It’s part of the vent stack for that drain, which is why it smells like a sewer. Presumably there was something else plumbed in there to drain out at somepoint, but has since been removed.
- Comment on FCC bans cable TV industry’s favorite trick for hiding full cost of service 1 month ago:
My family hasn’t been subscribed a satellite/cable tv service in almost 16 years… 8 if you include streaming services.
Their shitty services, comercials, deceptive pricing, arbitrary limitations, and lack of content drove me away long ago. 🏴☠️
