What employer? Uber drivers are independent contractors.
- Comment on the world 1 week ago:
I mean, if my experience is any indication, she won’t listen… But then again, it turns out my wife was passive aggressively trying to get me to leave her for years but I was too oblivious to get her hints…

Not that easy - changing the rules generally requires a vote to the homeowners, not just the board, and usually requires a minimum amount of participation (like a majority have to approve, regardless of how many(few) vote).

I don’t consider it authoritarian to not want my next door neighbor to turn their front lawn into a junkyard.
That is authoritarian, regardless of how reasonable the desire is. If the only thing keeping your neighbor from turning their front yard into a junkyard is a threat of force, is that a relationship worth preserving?

Ring doorbell camera can’t be “pointed”, it screws to a flat surface, presumably the doorway. That said, they have a pretty wide field of view.
- Comment on A product of his environment 1 week ago:
In US we call that a housing cooperative, that’s different, because the co-op owns the building(s), then people own shares in the co-op. An HOA generally only owns (and maintains) the common areas, then individuals own their own building, but sometimes there aren’t any common areas, then you’re just paying the HOA for the privilege of being subject to their extra rules. Co-ops are rare, and harder to finance (since you don’t own something that can be foreclosed on)

Seems like it should be possible to introduce crab grass to his lawn…
- Comment on Device that can extract 1,000 liters of clean water a day from desert air revealed by 2025 Nobel Prize winner 1 week ago:
I live in Phoenix. When I first moved here, I lived in a shitty apartment that didn’t maintain my air conditioning, and the condenser drain clogged and started leaking, so I had to put out buckets to catch the water. I could easily squeeze a gallon out of the air in a few hours, and that was just a 750 sqft apartment…
- Comment on Device that can extract 1,000 liters of clean water a day from desert air revealed by 2025 Nobel Prize winner 1 week ago:
“relative humidity” is the percentage of water the air holds relative to how much it could hold, which varies by temperature. It can’t go negative, though it can go over 100%.
- Comment on Also, in my state, all the drivers are the worst 1 week ago:
I grew up in Boston, I’ve lived in Phoenix for the last 25 years… I think you have that backwards, at least that’s been my experience.

No true capitalism?

But but but capitalism, free market, competition, etc. etc. etc …

A day? In New England we say if you don’t like the weather, wait 15 minutes, it’ll change. And Boston drivers aren’t bad, just aggressive. New Jersey drivers are bad.

If they’re paying attention, which I would never assume…

Motorcycle Safety Foundation. They do rider training, then when you complete it it counts as your road test when you add the motorcycle endorsement to your license.

It was way more than that- like 50-70k…
- Comment on Womp womp womp. 2 weeks ago:
Same way I stuck with my wife for 20 years despite her being a rotten person - I kept hoping it would get better, and she’d string me along with promises… Then she cheated on me with our son’s best friend’s dad, that finally made it easy to leave, and once I left, hindsight made all the previous mistreatment so much more obvious…
- Comment on We're just scanning for the bear... 2 weeks ago:
I ride a motorcycle… When I was doing the MSF training (after riding illegally for years), I kept getting dinged for not turning my head to look into a turn. Thing is, I have excellent peripheral vision. I can see 90° to either side when I’m looking straight ahead - so I tend to keep my gaze straight ahead regardless of where my attention is…

- Comment on A New Era of Safety: Facial Age Checks Now Required to Chat on Roblox | Roblox 4 weeks ago:
Bothers me because I’m in process of divorcing my wife, and she pretty much does whatever the kids want so she can be the fun parent while I am the one who worries about this kind of stuff and ends up being the boring/antifun parent. So she has probably already done whatever, and if I stop them, I’m the bad guy…

The second ammendment was wirten back when the people and the government had the same weapons.
That was the point. A point that has been lost over the years.

It’s easy, you just aim a little lower.

- Comment on When you know your boss is an insane moron 5 weeks ago:
I did that when I was young and worked throwaway jobs. I used to have a manager named Rick who would routinely make fun of people’s names… So I would call him Prick. To his face, of course. He tried to fire me once, but he was overruled by the owner.

Yes, fellow human.
