  • Proceeds to teach kids wrestling to stick their fingers up other kids buttholes.

  • 219-212. Oh boy that's close."What did you vote on today honey?" I don't know, they just told me to vote yes so I did."Won't that hurt your constituents?" They will still vote for me so long as I have the right letter next to my name, they haven't even realized I can't read yet.

  • Yeah, my password was Hunter2 Username: Username

  • I'm unfamiliar as I've never had such. What counts as re-occuring? Is two payments always considered re-occuring?

  • If you never look left, he's never there. Or at least Schrödinger thinks so half the time

  • Sure, but we also need to re-define what we call/think of as plastic. When we think of plastic we think of fossil fuel based plastics right? We don't think of biodegradable, compostable, renewable plastics. Plastics made from corn starch and sugarcane exist with processes that can greatly reduce the carbon impact, while also reducing risks of micro plastics being in our water supply, blood, and well everything. Plastics can also be made from algea from what I've heard. So the idea that we need to shift what we are using I believe is 100% true, but that also means we need to do some research into what would be the least impactful, highest yield, best value (or we will never get support in this hellscape) to find replacements.

    Glass can be reused near indefinite, but is heavy and uses a decent amount of energy input to remold it. That doesn't mean we shouldnt use it, it means we should, but for specific purposes. We need to get our governments and businesses to invest in research.... Somehow.

  • Yeah the last 2 episodes of season one were great, the last episode of season 2 felt like a great climb and then just collapsed at the end I feel. Like they didn't know where they wanted to go and just put it on a character not knowing where they wanted to go as a cliff hanger

  • Someone told me to skip the first season of always sunny if I watch it, do you agree?

  • Yeah I think I like it because it doesn't sound practical haha. It's like what childhood me would want.

  • Yet breeder plants would be even more sustainable in theory, yet if anyone tries to research them right now and doesn't already have nuclear bombs they may fall into the same situation Iran just did.

    Less fuel use, Less waste. Requires more technological testing/improvements long term, but everyone is worried about people weaponizing higher enrichment uranium from an outside perspective.. I could be wrong

  • I wanted to make a joke about plug flow electricity because your in the UK I believe from what you said, but I don't know enough about it. Doesn't sound like it could supplement much energy in its current stages. I am curious to see if it ever makes any substantial amount in the next 10 years. (Right now it's so early they are talking only about a few LEDs sort of electricity)

    If you haven't heard of it, it is a process of maximizing the use of air pockets created in catching falling water (rain) and allowing it to split in a way that can convert the kinetic energy of it essentially to about 10% electrical energy. Supposedily about 5x as effective as just letting the water fall on its own and turning it to mechanical energy. There's something about it that seems whimsical about it to me. Not sure why.

  • The point is if 97% of the energy is cheaper... Then you would have to pay more than coal for 3%. Which you could use any other form to supplement that, or just pay more for that 3% as the prices keep dropping and it will be below it soon. Countries use more than one source of energy. Whether you use a nuclear plant, hydro, geothermal, wind, or even gas/coal to supplement that 3% until it becomes cheaper (likely in the next 3 years).. and then we'll just burn off the extra energy in useful tasks hopefully. You could do anything with it. Shit hook it up the pumps and lift water up into towers and tell people if we have to much energy we need to burn off you'll get extra water pressure for your showers or something. Use it for desalinization of saltwater to send to areas in a drought. Can power the shipping to get it there as well. Idk, there's always something useful we need energy for.

    (Note those numbers were just for Vegas though, so it could be 20% your trying to supplement for now)

  • Currently trying to lock up as many of the populace all the numbers show cause less crime. At some point we are going to have to question if there is a higher percentage of psychopaths out of prison than in.

    Edit: note, a large group of people would say "we need to lock up more people to solve it" and a large group of people would say "we need to let out all the not-psychopaths who aren't a threat to society and then only arrest those who are a threat". And somehow both would think they were humane. And propoganda would role out to convince the first group they should lock up the second group. Because compassion or empathy is a threat

  • Insider trading that is paid for by the people.

  • I haven't done a bunch with it. I set it up locally on an old laptop, installed the app on my TV and on the other machines throughout the house. It works great when I use it. I stream a lot of content outside of it so I don't use it all the time but the interface I really liked. It's fluid even running the server on a laptop that would struggle to run a zoom call.

    Believe I set it up with pop-os, but it could be mint. I haven't had to touch it in months so I honestly wouldn't know without going to it. I leave a RustDesk connection on it from my phone if I ever need to get to it.

  • Standardly you lose the insurance on the day your job ends. There is a program called COBRA that exists where you can pay more (whatever the employer was paying on top of what you were paying, and a fee) to keep it going until you find your next job. I think it maxes out at a year but I'm not sure. Never done it, as I couldn't afford it between jobs. Hope that day you speak of comes sooner than later. Also I hope all goes well in life for you. Best of luck

  • Thank you for doing so! Our insurance varies drastically. The last time I had insurance available from work it was $134 per pay period so ~3500 U.S. dollars a year. It had a $5000 deductible, so while you had a co-pay/consult fee so the doctor would see you for $15. But if you needed them to do something, say fix a broken arm, you pay out of pocket until you pass that $5000 mark for the year. Prescriptions they pay some of, but for people like me it's not much different than just not having the insurance. Amoxicillin is less than $10 with a prescription, and that's usually all I need if I get a soar throat and jazz. So once every couple years I'll get that and Mucinex D and I'm usually good in a few days.

    Now if you want dental or vision those come separate. My last job offered them but I can't remember what they are split, something like $20 per pay period, so another $240 a year.You also pay copays for the visits and deductibles for the procedures and something's aren't covered like normal.

    The sad thing is that is considered pretty good insurance to many people. My uncle always used private healthcare, and his was much higher than that.

  • The answer is simple, eat the candy with or without them, and take the kid across the river. Drive them home to their guardian. The priest is an adult, he can figure his own shit out.
