I’m not saying the US isn’t shit with for profit prisons, but I’m not believing shit for any number that China provides on pretty much anything.

So the guy who discovered it published a book and named his discovery in his book “aluminum”?

Well case closed. It’s aluminum.

Yeah. I’m not usually much of a “take a picture guy” but that scenery just looked to good for it.

The costs of running an oven for an hour is probably costing you like 40 cents and most of that is pre heating. Buy a bread maker or a toaster oven to make your loaves in and it will be less than half that. For most cooking, the electricity used is a rounding error.

No. If you’re lucky, you could take the phone apart and reconnect the ribbon connector that goes from the display to the board and it will be fixed. More likely the display is damaged and would need replaced. No chance a lighter will fix it.

It’s a skill that most people will need to use often in their lives if you live in the US, at least. Unless you live in a place like New York city and don’t ever plan on leaving, you’ll probably be better off knowing how to drive. There’s a dozen reasons why that are all pretty obvious to most people.

But if you’re only 19, never got a license before that, and are dating a guy that’s a fair amount older than you are, I’m guessing you just want other people making all of your decisions for you.

I also want to view more than 20 different posts a day…

When you’re living in it, you don’t know what the future will have. I like my information and tech, but growing up as a kid before all that was pretty sweet. You weren’t always after knowing or researching or finding out everything. You lived more in the moment.

There was also a freedom that will never return for anyone. Imagine going places and doing things that at best will only be a story people could tell. No pictures or videos that keep or prove anything forever digitally around. It’s something you subconsciously think about now all the time. It didn’t used to exist. Also the freedom of being a kid and wanting to go hang out wondering around with friends all day completely untethered or tracked. Just a “be home before the streetlights come on” and beyond that your parents have no idea where you are and can’t call you. Getting lost was an adventure.

Our law enforcement is a huge joke and the meh pay, high turnover rate, and low bar of entry attracts the type of people you wouldn’t want to be associated with to begin with.

But also, why are small framed 5’3 women allowed to be police?

Fact is, most cops can’t outrun or overpower a lot of criminals who chose to resist or flee. In actuality that’s a pretty tiny part of the job. The rest is tickets, reports, paperwork, arrests with no resistance, investigations, etc. you don’t have to be an athlete or even very physically fit to do any of that. Id rather deal with a fat cop that isn’t a dick more than a slim one who’s a dumbass.

I was old enough to get a bit of nastalgia out of it. Late 80s was pretty fun times.

HOT TUB TIME MACHINE!

Previews and premise made it look like it would be stupid, but that movie is pure gold. I’ve never been able to understand how such an entertaining movie had such a low rotten tomato score. So much great stuff is going on.

It’s like learning to ride a bike. There’s all this balance going on, but after you’re good at it it’s just natural and you kind of forget how to explain what to do because you stopped thinking about it so long ago.

Wouldn’t be surprised. Also by some of the worded definitions, I already see ways around following it for software and diagnostic stuff.

That’s gonna take a while :-\

It’s 64% by critics and 56% by viewers after over 100,000 ratings. That’s pretty damned bad for what I find to be the best comedy there is.

The devs weren’t able to trademark “Mortal Combat”, but they could get a trademark for “Mortal Kombat”.

Anyone have a copy of the actual bill or the exceptions? A lot of right to repair stuff has come with some shitty asterisks that exempt certain things. Also, if signed, when is it supposed to take effect?
