The local billionaires here own a large family business. The founders (parents) were great people. They lived life poor for the first 50 years of their lives. They were super down to earth. The next generation are mostly good people. They&#

I do not want the legislature setting my power costs. That's absolutely a recipe for disaster. Let me put in solar to lower my costs and let the solar company put in solar to lower their costs if they want. Then they can pass the savin

That's not really science though. Body language in general, and eye placement specifically is my most hated pseudoscience. I struggle to make and maintain eye contact, because bad childhood trauma. Eye contact was perceived as aggressi

White collar encompasses a lot, outside of economics or finance. Also, there are companies who will see that win at any cost mentality as a positive trait. I'm betting whoever it is, is okay now.

I'm kind of confused by your writing. So your argument is that you didn't have incentive to do a shit ton of work compared to others, but by your own admission, your work was subpar because of the amount you pushed out. Why would

My experience is that when you have habitually late people will enter a meeting after you start, their first question is, "what did I miss?" So then you waste even more time when someone recaps for them. It's almost like peop

I was accused of not having enough to do by a boss. He was habitually late to everything. I am at every meeting 3 to 5 minutes early, because I leave every meeting at the :20 or :50 depending. Then I have 5 minutes to pee or whatever before

Giving users a knob that essentially amounts to "reduce the life of your engine" is a terrible idea. Most people are SUPER ignorant about their vehicles and would be pissed when their turbo died early because they assumed a higher

I thought that was basic common Internet knowledge, that Digg led straight to Reddit.

Ringworld is a great book. The later books have great concepts, but could do without so much. . . rishing. Niven plainly inserted his furry porn fetish into those books, for reasons unclear to any human alive.

They just say things like this didn't happen. It doesn't take creative writing skills to just call people you disagree with liars. It's very lazy overall.

That's not real. People don't live like that. That's just engagement slop for tiktok. Also, I would argue that it may not be common, but it's much more likely with airbnb versus a hotel chain. Two reasons; more access to

Larry Niven wrote ringworld and the follow ups, not Clarke. Clarke wrote the Rama series.

I've never seen one. I've only ever seen the one line two line kind that certainly aren't electronic. A quick Google tells me electronic versions of that are common though. Weird. I've never seen those.

I've never had a problem with used tools on eBay. If the seller isn't absurdly correct in their posting, eBay will take your side. The only thing that has ever gone wrong on eBay for me was when a seller claimed I didn't retu

Storage and grid resiliency is what I'm talking about. Renewables just aren't there yet. I genuinely wish they were and dream about an alternate timeline where electric cars weren't killed in the crib.

As much as I do genuinely blame the wealthy elite for most things. . . My way of life is unsustainable. Yours is too if you live in a Western country, and most Eastern countries at this point as well.

Suffer, in this context, is living a life that is completely different than the very convenient one we're used to. Not just renewable based. The technology just isn't there, and I don't think it will be there by the time we n

I don't think we can live the way we want to live without extreme weather, disease, and/or famine killing a good share of us. The modern human way of life is simply unsustainable. The problem is that no one wants to willingly sacr

Reddit ten or twelve years ago, maybe. That site is so poorly gamed by companies that its usefulness as a review aggregator is almost gone. At least big gaming sites are pretty straight up with their sponsorships.

Any online or electronic gambling. Any at all. You have to expect it to be crooked. This applies to sanctioned sites, sketchy sites, or physical machines. The incentive is just too damn high for it not to be a cheated system made up of blac

My experience with that is that it gives you unbelievably simplistic builds, not the complicated things you might be imagining.

I want to like modern art, but I never get it. Like splitting; while the line is neat, it just looks like a falling apart house. Conical intersect is a big hole in a building. What am I missing? I genuinely want to get it.

Wait what am I missing? Catholic priests who were married before becoming priests is a thing. Our local priest is married with kids and grandkids.

>stop giving cash as financial aid and instead give some type of credit that can only be spent on/at the school. Many students use their F.A. to pay for groceries or rent. Turning it into company store credit is a really bad idea.

I am as old today as my dad was when my older sister had a kid, and he became a grandfather for the first time. I was a junior in college that year. And I still think we had kids early with ours in middle school. I can't imagine being
