- Comment on It still blows my mind how ubiquitous communication is now. I just had someone message me instantly from a ship in the Mediterranean, while I'm on a flight in the US. 1 hour ago:
As a matter of fact, they does not.
The lathe is from pre 1989 Hungarian People’s Republic though. It’d probably have some cool stories at the very least.

You picked the wrong line of work.
As a machinist, I’m not expected to work anywhere that’s not in front of a lathe or mill.

*these officers need to be set on fire in public, preferably in full view of any of their loved ones.

Someone find a nerd to do the math.
Based on the value of $1 USD on today, Jan 23 2026, on what date was $5 worth what $20 is today?
(Authors note: I’m gonna fuckin off myself if the answer is post Y2k)

I think you should have taken the gun and shot security.
That would’ve taught them.
- Comment on China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible 2 weeks ago:
No no no. You just use the fusion to heat the water to make the steam to turn a turbine and then distribute that energy. Boom electric cars are a thing. While it’s technically possible to make a car with 0 petroleum products, it’s not financially viable in the current market.
Oil is remarkably cheap. I always find it funny that a gallon of gas and a gallon of water stay about the same price when one literally falls from the sky for free.

Technically, Japan is not called Japan in Japan. Its Nippon.
- Comment on Y’all ain’t ready for this 3 weeks ago:
It does.
Due to an unfortunate trait of the French (their language) it’s better known as champagne.
Fr all wine and grape derived liquor is yucky and gross. Find better drinks, like rum.
- Comment on Banana scale 4 weeks ago:
It’s either very very small or very very large.
- Comment on The infantry will advance 4 weeks ago:
It’ll be a lot of guerilla tactics and IEDs. Iraq and Afghanistan proved exactly how well urban combat works against the US military complex.
Then will come assassinations, hoarding, and smaller scale civil conflicts. Think resource raids and good old fashioned territorialism.
If youll accept the analogy, the military is great at blowing up anthills, but pretty shit at finding and eliminating specific ants.

Worse, cat tongues are barbed and are actually abrasive. They can literally lick your face off given enough time.

Had a bunch of wolf spiders in the last shop i worked at as a welder. They have eye shine like cats and alligators. It was always easy to tell the wolf spiders from black widows even behind a dusty welding machine because you can see the little wolf spider eyes looking back at you.

- Comment on Name your favourite prehistoric tree. 2 months ago:
Had a Gingko tree outside my childhood home up in Washington. We were right down the highway from Ginkgo Petrified Forest too. It was wild knowing a tree like the one at home stood just down the road ~ 16 MYA. Yeah, there aren’t a lot of gingkos in that park, and there’s plenty of other trees that have the same circumstance, but that gingko was special to me.

Bards Tale. That game was full of shit actively taunting or tricking the player. Best ps2 game.

Seconded.
I have more fond memories of blood dragon than I do of farcry 3, despite blood dragon being like a 20 hour standalone dlc
- Comment on Wild Seals 3 months ago:
Well to be fair seals are a special kind of asshole among assholes. Some of the coast guard are chill, and the vast majority of the active forces are literally 18 and 19 year old children. Literally too useless to get an actual job. The only ones that stick around are either the assholes among assholes or the functionally unemployable.
- Comment on A young woman was sexually assaulted while out DoorDashing. Two days after she reported the assault to DoorDash, they deactivated her account and she can't access the money she's owed. 3 months ago:
The guy ordered food, fell asleep on the couch, and woke up to a woman recording him nude in his own home. You know what that sounds like? Sounds a lot like sexual assault.
In fact, door dash has specific policies AGAINST going into private homes for exactly this kind of safety and privacy related concern. I have 59 year old relatives. You know what 100% of them have in common? A love of naps.
Keep white knighting for women you’ll never know, it’ll impress all your terminally online friends.

And if I’m asleep in the buff on my couch and you come over to look at my junk, you’re the pervert, not me. Screaming “sexual assault” like some kind of catch all for your own fuckups is not a magic spell that will make everything better. All you are doing is actively hurting the credibility of people who actually experience sexual assault. Read the material.

“Making her uncomfortable” is not sexual assault. Where, exactly, is the assault? Saying shit like this cheapens and trivializes actual sexual assaults and the impact those words have on society.

- Comment on thick skinned employees, how can you be so thick skinned? 4 months ago:
As a welder turned machinist, is it really so hard to act like an adult as an adult? I’ve seen a bunch of different shops around my area, and hands down the old heads are the worst when it comes to drama. They’re so focused on status and seniority that they forget that it’s just a job.
That being said, work how you want to work, not how you see other people working in your role. “Good enough” is fine for learning, but i want to be good at what I do, not good enough. I like my paycheck, and I like feeling like I earn it too.
I’m actually in a position where I got a raise at work and acknowledgement from my peers where I feel like I’ve been doing average work. I could take that to mean that I’m doing good enough and I can coast. That would be totally normal. But I’m looking at it as encouragement to continue to develop my craft. I tried out some shit on a lathe the other day I’ve only ever seen on crazy Instagram videos, but it worked for what I needed to do, and the part came out acceptable in the end. Now I can continue to expand my experience with confidence.
