And the timespan of the increased cost of everything.

Since the pandemic, construction ply more than tripled in price and isn’t going down.

That’s insane. Income can’t keep up with that.

Superman has always been a bit of a boring character, which IMO is hard to write for to make interesting beyond the origin / coming of age story.

I think screwing up Batman is a lot more offensive. So much good lore and villians to work with.

IMO, Affleck played a terrible Fatman. He wasn’t dark and brooding, he was wooden and boring. It wasn’t just the story, but Afflecks portrayal of the character.

Over-under for how long it will take Musk to threaten to sue this owner under some early adopter clause like the one preventing resales?

He is correct that the forces are different. The equation for centripetal force is Fc = Mv2/R.

Radius is the distance from the focal point, and each seat will be different distances.

So he is technically correct that seat position could be calculated in perfect conditions with accurate measurements.

But none of the data that reaches this service will be remotely accurate or complete enough to make that determination. It will only have one passengers phone data, and even if it collected everyones phone data, phone sensors have a margin of error well above what the difference would be. GPS data is only even marginally accurate up to something like 6ft, and really not even then. Then cars have a lot of other factors like suspension and compression in seats, etc, that would absorb enough of the forces to muddy the data even if accurate sensors were everywhere.

Tl;dr; another cocky person that took a few physics courses but walked away with a poor understanding of real world applications talking out their ass.

There were a couple years in my teens when I generally wore all black clothes. I was not a goth, even if I was passingly friendly with a few goths.

Many assumed I was a goth, and it never bothered me to correct them. It was a completely understandable assumption to make.

You may not be a goth, but you certainly look like one at a glance.

You see 500% markup.

I see 10 pounds for the time and effort to shop around for bargains, then storing your haul, list the items online, and the cost of the other dozens of books that never sell, and then time and effort to package and ship, and whatever customer service along the way.

Rofl. Imagine being mildly infuriated that someone marked up a bargain bin purchase by $10 to cover their time and effort to make it available to you to buy from the comfort of your home.

Why don’t you spend your own day rummaging through thrift stores for it next time?

We have a trip to Alaska to see the salmon run coming up. I wouldn’t be surprised if she has already booked a swim with the orcas without telling me.

I’ve had this argument with my wife, who wants to swim with Orcas, so many times.

Me: Orcas are the sadistic murder cats of the ocean. Do not swim with them. They may decide to kill you for the fun of it.

Her: There has never been a reported fatal orca attack! You worry too much!

Me: How many people do you think are trying to swim with wild orcas every year? Sample size is to small. It’s like saying it’s safe to slap a grizzly bear with a pool noodle and then throw a Meringue pie in it’s face, because AFAIK, no one has ever died doing so.

Sky burial. Just chop me up and feed me to the vultures

I tried the sled with shims on my thickness planer. It worked, but it was certainly a pain in the ass and unwieldy due to weight and length.

Picked up a 6" bench top jointer. Not great at long boards due to length of the feeds. Picked up some roller stands hoping that would be close enough, but I moved and the garage needs a lot of work before I can try them out.

If you can pick up a full floor sized jointer and have room for it, you’ll save yourself several headaches if you plan on jointing a ton of rough cut lumber.

It was straight and square when it was milled. Problem is that the big box stores cut corners during the kiln drying phase, so the boards have a ton of moisture still in them. As that dries, the boards twist and cup.

Plus poor protection from the elements at each storage step, which means rapid temp changes, which also causes wood movement.

Go to a local lumber yard. They tend to do a better job at kiln drying. You’re still going to have warped boards, but far fewer in my experience.

Weeks? Those are Rookie numbers.

I have filled out these forms, and I have abandoned applications.

If I am being paid to follow process, that’s one thing. If I’m being forced to jump through hoops for free on my own time, before I’m even particularly interested in your company, that’s a completely different thing.

Same with coding applications. Maybe I will, maybe I won’t, really just depends on if I’m bored or not. But as a requirement before the application is even looked at, it’s fucking stupid.

Depends on how much maintenance it requires. And someone is going to need to be paid to deploy it and watch it to ensure that nobody fucks with it and that it doesn’t eat some park sunbather or something. And to make sure the grounds are clear of debris. Etc.

Don’t think you can count on just removing a salary here.

Rofl. I was wondering why I couldn’t see the other reply to you, and realized it might because I already blocked that user. Went to incognito, and yep, blocked that rabid user a while ago.

I recommend doing the same. I forgot “Global South” was even a term used here.

It is pretty exhausting fighting their subtle tankie arguments over and over, lest someone more impressionable only see their bullshit and believe it.

Because the sound is mixed for 50 speaker theater setups, and they don’t bother remixing it for home theaters.

Industry is cutting corners, and are oddly prejudiced against inferior home theaters, even though that seems to be where the vast majority of media is consumed nowadays.

I utilized my skills of tiny writing from cheatsheets to fit every phone number I knew only a folded sticky note that lived in my wallet for probably 20 years before I realized it was long past being useful.

Or 4. And every time you’re setting your console up on a different TV, you’re not sure if you’re on the wrong channel, or if the coax cable is loose
