I have plenty. And I’m not lonely. But when I try to defend lonely fellas online, you say things like “get a hobby”.
- Comment on ChatGPT's new AI store is struggling to keep a lid on all the AI girlfriends 10 months ago:
You guys are missing my point. Im not talking about incels, I’m talking about people who just call all lonely guys incels. The way everyone is happily downvoting me when I say this are proving me right.

I thought that was called sealioning?
I’m afraid I don’t have a wall of links to support my argument.

The thing I keep thinking about, and I feel like I’ve never been able to properly communicate, is that the machines our society runs on are built to run in a certain temperature range.
The 2021 texas winter fiasco was a perfect demonstration of what happens when we try to run a society’s machinery outside of it’s expected temperature range. Yes, the ERCOT goofballs were trying to save money by narrowing that expected operating range because “It never gets that cold” and “It never gets that hot”, but my badly articulated point still stands - a system was made to operate in a temperature range outside of it’s capability, and it started to fail. They were minutes away from losing very expensive and hard to replace equipment. What we don’t want is for one of the more competently-run power grids in the world to start to buckle due to temperatures, because the same thing that happened in texas could happen on a larger scale.
And that’s just talking about the power grid. Anything with a heat exchanger in it, including your car and air conditioner and all the refrigeration that is needed to keep everyone fed, is designed to run in a certain temperature range, and will stop working if you run it outside of that range for too long.
But wait, we can just design stuff to run in a wider temperature range! We certainly can. But we would have to redesign everything that moves heat around.

See? You are doing it. Be sure to dismiss this response as something coming from an incel, my other half thinks it’s funny.

Like drop the macho act and ask for help, buddy. It’s ok.
And watch the people who said they cared suddenly get real scarce.
I wish it wasn’t that way, and I’m happy it’s no longer that way for me. But there are people around you right now who know of they speak up, loved ones and friends will tell them “it’s no big deal” or “It’s all in your head” or my favorite, “man up”.

Yes, but they do tend to get lumped together and dismissed the same.

Nah, lets just call all lonely men “incels” and sweep the problem under the rug, surely that will never be a problem.

For me it’s usually “after”.

Something tells me stolen cars are shipped in bulk.

A pile of speed camera guts, 10 meters of 900-pair phone line, a grounding grid from a substation, and some coils from an orphanage’s air conditioner, probably.

Were they able to keep up with modern traffic and go out to the suburbs and back?

Look at this guy, who has never had to start a diesel engine when it’s -20°F outside.
- Comment on Electric school buses are a breath of fresh air for children | Nearly $1B in federal funding could help clean up the unequal health impacts of diesel pollution. 10 months ago:
I remember the school buses in one high school I went to running on propane. It’s not as clean as electric, but it’s cleaner than diesel… and at the time, an electric school bus would have been expensive, if not outright science fiction.
- Comment on 'It hasn't delivered': The spectacular failure of self-checkout technology 10 months ago:
I don’t know why you are being downvoted, must be a bunch of people wanting to defend a shitty UI.
Because you’re right, a self checkout shouldn’t require technical knowledge to use.

I’m going to guess they are terrified and excited and just yelling random cop noises.

My wife and I tried to plant a vegetable garden last year, it was our second try after learning some things the previous year. We got a lot of veggies out of it and had a lot of fun. We weren’t so interested in saving money, we were more worried about bare shelves at the grocery store. We also have a few chickens.
We are going to make it even better this year.

Didn’t they do the first interracial kiss on TV? And there was the episode with these guys in it?
I doubt she’s seen a single episode lol.
But since she is so worried about whatever “woke” is, she should be made to watch Andor.

The last GM vehicle I had, it was possible to entirely remove the OnStar module without affecting the operation of the truck. I also knew someone else that found out that if something tears the little shark-fin antenna off the roof, it won’t work either.

I used to have to poke around in manholes. Not all of them have the name of the city on them, and not all of them go to a sewer. Some of them have cables in them.
The one pictured does look like a municipal manhole cover instead of one belonging to AT&T or another communications company, just because of the design on it.
- Comment on What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices? 10 months ago:
I think food riots are just a few years off, really. Maybe when enough stock is stolen and enough stores trashed they will learn, but I expect they will try to be heavy handed, sending in the local WalMart Defense Team (a.k.a. the police force closest to a given walmart) to handle it, but there are definitely going to be problems with that considering some people go to walmart armed.

- Comment on 4202 g 10 months ago:
Ask anyone who’s kept chickens, keeping the hawks and foxes and raccoons etc. out of them is a constant and eternal struggle.
Two things I have learned as a chicken weirdo:
1.) Get dark colored chickens
2.) Get a big mean rooster.
I haven’t lost a chicken so far, but I have seen my bigass stupidly brave rooster take on all comers, he has defeated squirrels, snakes, frogs, mice, and a gopher that was apparently pretty bad at making connections. I’ve watched him chase off a cat and a pretty good sized dog. Foghorn Leghorn is more accurate than I realized.
But more than his incredible dinosaur kung-fu is that he is smart, and communicates with his hens. He will tell them to shelter in the coop, and they will run and hide. A hawk isn’t going to want to deal with 15 pounds of land-bird standing in a small doorway.
For the color, a black or gray chicken will be harder to see against the ground than a white one. Also, I think they look cooler than plain white chickens.
