Heh, well I can make it worse, prepare to be judged!

Soda is for suckers. It’s just extremely overpriced sugar water and it’s basically a direct route to diabetes town. Also enjoy all the extra dental work you’ll require.

Weirdly, I’m not against alcohol. While drinking a lot isn’t a great idea either, I do understand the appeal of alcohol. I still try not to buy it in bars or restaurants though, the 5x mark up has always felt unreasonable.

Uh… If you insist, then four space indent. There is no “two space” indent.

But just use tab. Ugh… Monsters…

I’ve got a couple of 23 year old homeless people living with me now. They just need a couple months to find a place for themselves, that’s what they said a year and a half ago when they moved in. I’m trying to help them out, but they really can’t stay here forever.

Also one of them is my daughter.

Hospitals are practically faraday cages, it can be hard to get a signal in large hospitals.

But a text message that amounts to just a few bits can usually sneak through without much delay.

Let me know when the governor develops a technology to crack down on deepfakes. Using legislation to address the problem is… adorable.

For most people they won’t need anything more than a 7800x3d for 5 maybe even 10 years?

I know from experience, it is very difficult to get 10 years of gaming out of a processor. I’m a pretty frugal guy, and I’m actually ok with merely “acceptable” gaming performance, but I think the most I’ve ever managed was 8 years on the same processor, and that was with the core 2 duo. I called it the super chip, the chip that stayed competitive even when multiple new architectures were available. And honestly, 8 years was really pretty good. But when I switched to a quad core i5, it was definitely a necessary change.

Israel might be the baddies…

I’m waiting for all the inevitable news headlines “Diddy didn’t he?”.

And through neglect, hundreds more in crashes.

Doesn’t bode well for them…

You know, along with all the other news about Boeing in the last 5 years…

Honestly, I think it’s time to throw in the towel. Maybe go into support and service mode for all their existing products, and just not develop anything new.

There’s a lot to unpack there…

Well that sounds frustrating as hell. And hey, I know a rando on the Internet has no business commenting on your relationship with parents, but all the same, I’m sorry man, that sucks. I hope he can find a way to change.

There’s a lot we don’t know about ocean ecosystems in general, that’s very true. Saving the coral is a very hard problem. But to be honest, we’re human, hard problems are our bread and butter. Often, we prefer them to easy problems.

PS: Let me make this clear: I don’t give a shit about what China does unless it involves actual ethnic cleansing and mass rape. If we don’t give a shit about the latter, we shouldn’t “get involved” in the former.

Funny you should bring that up… You should ask the Uyghurs in China about that.

Also, the world watched them impose their rule over Hong Kong, we watched their military murder their way through protesting civilians. We know what to expect from China, we’ve seen their playbook.

But Taiwan is an ally of the USA, Japan is an ally of the USA, and we will stand by them. There are many other sovereign nations in the waters of the South China Sea, China does not own all that territory.

It would be in China’s best interest to back the fuck off.

Well, I’m convinced!

Btw, if you get a raise or like a bonus or something for convincing an American, can I get a piece of that?

Oh hi China.

Or compare to the CO2 put out by global concrete construction. It’s more than some might believe.

Cool, did not know that! I have to admit I made assumptions there, figuring 2 stroke engines are probably more appropriate for smaller equipment. But I guess since you don’t have to carry a mower, a heavier engine is not a big deal, makes sense.

Good luck with your mower, no need for something else as long as it’s still working! After all, with a lot of things they really don’t make em like they used to, that old mower could serve you for a very long time.

I think most mowers are two stroke engines, which generally are designed to burn oil.

I expect they do need lubrication from time to time. I just bought an electric mower this year and it’s pretty low power, so I predict that any amount of additional friction in the system is going to be too much.

I wish people in this thread would pay less attention to the bible study and more attention to the violent crime repeat offender recently out of prison who clearly never got the psychiatric help he needed (cause that dude be cray cray).

So yeah, a well intentioned woman thought she could fix him (with the help of the Lord) and decided to tie the knot with an unstable convinced felon. That’s… misguided, but a mistake that has been made a great many times before by a great many people. But truthfully, religion is barely a part of this story. Mostly this is a story about how many Americans aren’t encouraged to get the mental help they need, about one of the many ways in which our correctional system doesn’t work, and about how you really shouldn’t try to “fix” that bad boy that I’m sure has a heart of gold deep down. That last part is just so dangerous… please don’t do it.
