- Comment on What's the best way to respond to a family member who says the COVID vaccines are being used to depopulate? 6 days ago:
They don’t need a vaccine to depopulate when heart disease(695k/y), car accidents(40k/y), overdoses(82k/y), abortion(1m/y), and suicide(49k/y) kill far more people than the vaccine could possibly be linked to the COVID vaccines(8k in total).
Don’t at me for including abortion, I support abortion access and want it to be a free service, but we are talking about depopulation means and abortion is a means to depopulate.
- Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads 1 week ago:
If they give you what you want, but harass you enough, you may just stop using an ad blocker to watch the video and might just forget to turn it back once you are done.
If you had to unlock your bathroom door to enter or exit, you will either put forth effort to correct the problem or you will take the lazy route and just prop the door open.

We have such a freedom of concerns that we can care about, and put effort towards, issues that have nothing to do with us personally.
- Comment on Some secrets are kept better hidden than others 2 weeks ago:
The blocks don’t need to be straight so long as the load is centered and even. The mortar makes it more like a continuous piece than if you had just stacked them with no mortar. Sort of like stacking irregular stones.
To be clear, it isn’t the right way, but it can be fine.
I have seen so many shit jobs like this and had to fix them. The trades joke that masons are the biggest alcoholics and we joke that this type of work is a Monday morning, after lunch, or Friday special; because this sort of nonsense with masonry work is so common.
Those 16x4x8 blocks can hold around 2,000 psi. So an overhang like that isn’t a big deal. The wood shoring holds like half or a quarter of that.
- Comment on Some secrets are kept better hidden than others 2 weeks ago:
This is the interior of the column, there was a facade around it. You can tell because the mortar in some places are flat from when it was against the facade.
Was it made properly? Not really for supporting a lot of weight, but it was probably fine depending how that overhang was made.

I’m more curious if they have a leash for the bedroom.

- Comment on Am I weird for avoiding flying on prop planes, and only fly on jets? 3 weeks ago:
Small planes and jets are the lion’s share of aircraft incidents. They aren’t inspected as often(more in the case of personal planes), lack the stability of larger craft, and aren’t always flown by experienced pilots. Not to mention they frequent small dirt of grass airfields instead of commercial airport tarmac.
There are like 3-5 small aircraft crashes a day. Small aircraft crash at like 25x the rate of larger craft.
- Comment on Am I weird for avoiding flying on prop planes, and only fly on jets? 3 weeks ago:
Jet engines are enclosed in a cowling that is designed to handle the engine coming apart. The smallest defect in a jet engine’s turbine blades can mean it detaches or deforms, which then causes further damage that will be injested by the engine.
Propellers have free access to the cabin but are subjected to far less forces than the blades of a jet engine, so their failure is less likely, even if damage is undetected.
Do with that what you will.

That much thermal mass would stay room temp for a while, probably longer than you are conscious. I recommend a cab.
- Comment on I want a chav boyfriend. Where can I find adult chavs? (If you don't know what that is, they're called bogans in Australia and rednecks in the US) 4 weeks ago:
I’m guessing you don’t know any rednecks.

Check your biases.
I clearly meant that they adopted black culture in terms of mannerisms, dress, and speech.

Don’t kink shame.
- Comment on I want a chav boyfriend. Where can I find adult chavs? (If you don't know what that is, they're called bogans in Australia and rednecks in the US) 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, a UK chav is more like a US white guy that acts and dresses like a black guy.
A bogan and a redneck are roughly equivalent, but a bogan and a hillbilly also works.

Every group of white supremacists should film themselves being pummeled in order to change recruitment numbers. Any sane mind would appreciate them having that strategy nationwide.

My teacher was a punk back his day and fondly told us about how him and his friends would beat the crap out of Nazi punks when they would show up at the spots. He was born in Germany and his parents lived through the tiny mustache man period, so I am sure it was an act of German and family pride to address them appropriately. He would get a twinkle in his eye, as if recalling a fond memory that brought him joy.
Best damn teacher anyone could hope for.

They will probably have a harness that is available for a fee, and harness extenders.

Yeah, but have you considered snake lady tiddies? Medusa can get any man hard with a glance.
- Comment on Are standing seats on airliners actually going to be a thing? 4 weeks ago:
They will absolutely be a thing. The airlines will be forced to have seating for the disabled, and you should understand that they will try to make that as uncomfortable as possible.
If they could stack passengers like firewood, they would.
- Comment on Do the sub-$150 night vision binoculars actually work? 5 weeks ago:
They are such a convenience in edge cases that 99% people don’t need them, but they can end up being one of those things where you find a lot of nails to hammer.
- Comment on Do the sub-$150 night vision binoculars actually work? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, that is the top tier Gucci set. You can get a PVS series setup that is more than adequate for whatever reasonable lawful purpose for far less.
- Comment on Do the sub-$150 night vision binoculars actually work? 5 weeks ago:
I know nothing about those, but at that price point you should not expect anything worthwhile.
You can get decent IR only monocular for $300-500, they won’t hold a candle to a $3k NV monocular. You can get decent thermal only monocular for $300-500, it won’t be anywhere near as good as a $3k one. You can’t get a decent fusion monocular for $300-500, those cost $5k.
Nightvision and thermal optics are by once and cry once or get what you pay for.
- Comment on Do the sub-$150 night vision binoculars actually work? 5 weeks ago:
“Real” NVs cost a fair bit and still have a narrow FOV. There are infrared digital binoculars and monoculars that can achieve 40° FOV or greater, but they won’t be as good as a dual PVS on a head harness.
Like PVS-14s, the FOV is about 40 degrees for $5k per eye, giving 70° FOV for both eyes. For context, human FOV is 210-220 for both eyes on the horizontal plane.
There is a reason the top tier goggles, the GPNVG-18, uses 4 tubes to achieve 97° FOV at $50k for the set.
Your best cheap bet is a digital IR system that can be mounted on a head harness over one eye with a legit IR flashlight. That way your brain can merge the two visions and you don’t lose the situational perception that causes many inexperienced troops to trip and fall over terrain.
