- Comment on It's been downhill since 2020 5 days ago:
I feel the same about 2007, and 1999.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I think this is due to the exact opposite happening for a lot of Millenials. University was touted as the only option, and a lot of people went and got degrees in things that didn’t make them employable. At the same time the trades were downplayed. This has bred a lot of resentment of any university degree, as a lot of people see theirs as a failure that may have crippled their finances/lives.
- Comment on Given gelatin's source, it makes more sense as a savory dish than a dessert 1 week ago:
Gelatin used to take days to make before it was mass produced. It was a dish reserved for the rich, and it would make sense that a fine chef would use such a rare ingredient in a main course.

Piano. Yes it’s a difficult instrument to master, but I can teach a 4 year old to play Mary Had a Little Lamb
- Comment on Even households earning $150,000 a year are struggling with credit card and car payments 5 weeks ago:
But I need a 3500 series truck in case I go camping or I have to move a mattress!
- Comment on Is it possible to make wireless charging broadcast electricity throught an entire house similar to how wifi can broadcast to the entire house? 1 month ago:
This was what Tesla Coils did. They allowed for the wireless transmission of power. It was Tesla’s utopian dream to provide free power to all.
- Comment on Saw this on r*ddit, had to share with my people 1 month ago:
Marlon Brando. Hard to play a character well when you’re dead
- Comment on Isn't there somebody you forgot to ask? 1 month ago:
I think you mean “Monopoly baby!”, or are Visa/Mastercard not using their dominant market position to dictate what can and cannot be purchased?
- Comment on Isn't there somebody you forgot to ask? 1 month ago:
“Remove the games or we’ll remove your ability to accept payments from 98% of your customers”
DUDES IT’S TOTALLY UP TO THE GAME PLATFORM
- Comment on Canada | Alberta's measles outbreaks surpass case counts reported for entire U.S. 1 month ago:
While Alberta is a cesspit of antivaxxers, I can’t help but wonder how broken the reporting system is in most of the US.
- Comment on Russia to import 1 million skilled workforce from India 1 month ago:
Sounds like India is getting in on the “front line” support

I think it’s like 51 now.
- Comment on Tractor eggs 2 months ago:
It’s marshmallow season. Those ones aren’t dried yet
- Comment on Would you take a short term job(1-2 months) over a local longer term that makes nearly 8months worth of salary?? 2 months ago:
It’s contracting. The trick is to have something else lined up after. You make a lot but you have to actively keep yourself employed and trained.
- Comment on There's no international protocol on what to do if an asteroid strikes Earth 2 months ago:
I thought the protocol was “Don’t look up”.
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to a family member who says the COVID vaccines are being used to depopulate? 2 months ago:
Tell them that you’re a sheeple, and got the safe dose of the vaccine, since they want to keep the compliant people around. Too bad they’re on “the list”.
- Comment on Does anyone use a phone without a protective case? 3 months ago:
I use a $5 thin silicone case. Just enough to cushion the blow. I haven’t broken any phones, but I drop them a lot.

- Comment on How do I clean this mess? 5 months ago:
If the head is all metal, soak it in acetone
- Comment on How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now? 5 months ago:
Do you think that Project 2025 isn’t what a bunch of conservatives want? It didn’t just come from one person. A bunch of people wanted to vote for this.
- Comment on 'Writing is on the wall for spinning rust': IBM joins Pure Storage in claiming disk drives will go the way of the dodo in enterprises 5 months ago:
Please see my original comment.
- Comment on 'Writing is on the wall for spinning rust': IBM joins Pure Storage in claiming disk drives will go the way of the dodo in enterprises 5 months ago:
Spinning platter capacity can’t keep up with SSDs. HDDs are just starting to break the 30TB mark and SSDs are shipping 50+. The cost delta per TB is closing fast. You can also have always on compression and dedupe in most cases with flash, so you get better utilization.
- Comment on You guys have to end it 5 months ago:
How is that any different from a modern gas car?
- Comment on FuckYourHeadlights - A community for people to organise and vent about ridiculously bright lights 5 months ago:
I personally think headlight brightness peaked just before LED became mainstream. Through the mid teens companies were installing projector headlights. I had a 2014 Corolla with projector headlights so bright that I got non-stop flashes from opposing drivers.
- Comment on You guys have to end it 5 months ago:
You know that there’s shops all over the place who will fix cells in bad packs? Replacing the whole battery is FUD similar to warning someone they need to replace their whole engine if there’s any issue.
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 5 months ago:
Property tax rates are based on how much your city/county needs to operate. Property values change, but so do mill rates. Most cities aren’t allowed to take surplus tax, so they tweak the mill rate when property values fluctuate.
