It is, if you don’t have to do it all the damn time. If you just iron your clothes when you want/need to, it’s an enjoyable chore.

We’ve all got something to work on, even the author.

Wait a minute, this dude actually a) escaped from a train on his way to jail and b) escaped again by impersonating a detective?
Dude just might be my hero. After all these years, he was right there the whole time 😅😂
- Comment on New Doom reveal hinted at by Zenimax trademark 1 month ago:
We’re definitely due for a new DOOM. But it’s gotta have deathmatch. Whoever made the call to ship DOOM without DM needed to be shot.

I definitely read “is it a bad fire, my good man?” In the voice of the Succulent Chinese Meal guy
- Comment on acceptable screws 2 months ago:
A good square bit for my impact is a lifesaver as an electrician. Pretty much every conduit fitting set screw can take flat, Philips, or square. When you’re reaching out one-handed from the top of a ladder, you really don’t want to cam out all the time.

I had an ex, her brothers used to trip on Benedryl. They’d eat a whole sheet. Absolutely insane.

Lwaxana is a treat every single time she’s on screen. And sometimes when she isn’t.

Oh yeah, used to run like right around midnight, just in time for everybody who was way too stoned

God that show was bizarre, thanks for reminding me of that fever dream

Every time she’s in an episode it’s a treat.
- Comment on Dumb question: Is it safe to use extension ladder on interrior wall? 6 months ago:
Make sure to follow the 4-to-1 rule - for every 4’ of climb, the base should be 1’ from the wall.
You should be fine. Ideally, you’d tie the ladder off to something, or have the top extend 3’ above the surface it’s against (like if you’re using it to get to a roof). Obviously neither of those really apply here. I’m an electrician and we have to do stuff like this pretty often.
As for the strength of the wall around the windows, those should be framed in, meaning there are extra 2x4s around them. Try to extend the ladder higher than you need to be so you’re not on the very top of it and you’ll be alright
- Comment on Destiny 2's new $15 "Starter Pack" is a bunch of junk and the last thing the MMO needed right now 6 months ago:
And the new season (which is gonna last till freaking JUNE) has people running a five-year-old activity.
Yay.
- Comment on Yet they immediately forgot again 6 months ago:
Exactly, sure you could have relays or Automatic Transfer Switches like we use from generators. But if you’re just slamming more power at stuff than it’s meant to use, where’s your overcurrent protection?
- Comment on Yet they immediately forgot again 6 months ago:
Basic overcurrent protection? In my sci-fi?
Next you’re gonna tell me you can’t just “re-route power” by pressing buttons on a screen and not, you know, actually unhooking any wires!
- Comment on Destiny 2’s The Final Shape expansion, due to wrap up its first decade of story, slides to next summer 6 months ago:
Kinda sucks to wait so much longer but I’d rather do that than get another Lightfall. As poorly as the game’s doing right now, another mediocre expansion would kill the franchise.
- Comment on Peace is too much effort. Suffer in silence. 6 months ago:
I should really try this game again. I’m just so bad at it :(

- Comment on Jesse is smarter than what we give him credit for. 7 months ago:
It really annoys the hell out of me that we don’t use a better calendar. I think about this once a week at least. I feel like being stuck with the Gregorian calendar is a good example of why so many inefficient structures exist in society - some assholes centuries ago decided on a thing, and out of habit and laziness we’ve stuck with it since.
- Comment on Look at all these people with a (very) bright future. 7 months ago:
Hundred to 200 years? You’re one optimistic person.
We’re hitting major climate tipping points within ten years and there’s no brakes on this train. Things will go from “this sucks but it’s bearable” to “global famine wars” in short order.

That’s why we’ve been trapping all this extra energy! Free real estate baby. It’s just good economics.

Oh I’ve seen it before, I just wasn’t up for it at that moment lol.

I’ve been watching it through for the first time, it’s great. Into S4 now.
Not even gonna lie though, I skipped Home. I knew what I was in for and I just had a kid, I wasn’t up for that lol

He needs an insubordinate captain to punish. Also, hooks for hands.
- Comment on 🤔... 8 months ago:
The 2268 NEC now requires Arc Fault Circuit Interruptors and dedicated circuits on all consoles. Starfleet would be annoyed, if the upgrades cost them anything.
The 2272 code is supposed to require dedicated backup systems for shields so they don’t have to constantly “reroute power”
- Comment on You had unrestricted access to the internet as a child, didn't you? 8 months ago:
I printed out copies of goatse and hid them all over my friend’s room 😅
I was 18 when 4chan started, the unrestricted internet was a wild time as a teenager
