Just a thought experiment, how sink-proof are these things?

If someone were to build a homemade submarine with a drill, how many holes would one have to theoretically drill to make a yatch sink?

I have to sort my books!’ she cried,

With self-indulgent glee;

With senseless, narcissistic pride:

‘I’m just so OCD!’

‘How random, guys!’ I smiled and said,

Then left without a peep -

And washed my hands until they bled,

And cried myself to sleep.

Well, you’re certainly entitled to your (wrong) opinion!

Lol it’s not for everyone, especially if you started out with goldeneye. A lot of people I play with don’t have the same appreciation for it, and that’s okay.

And yeah, it’s so cheesy, it makes people spontaneously develop lactose intolerance.

But much like the movie Evolution, I don’t love it because it’s groundbreaking and iconic to its genre. It’s fun for me.

They’re going to come for FIFA’s club games, or they’re going to come for the World Cup, or they’re going to come for the Olympics, come and see sporting events

Nobody’s coming anymore, nobody wants to risk being thrown in a concentration camp because they aren’t white and rich and supporting Trump enough.

Getting ANYONE who isn’t already actively trying to reduce their own vehicle usage or doesn’t use primarily mass transit to pay attention to how much space has been given up for cars is like pulling teeth from a stone.

Even people who have never had a car seem to think cars are the only thing to use.

Getting anyone to even acknowledge the complete lack of travel infrastructure around my area is hard. There are few sidewalks outside the downtown area and a few surrounding residential areas. There are no sidewalks connecting downtown being 4 intersections.

There are two bike lanes that total about 1.5mi, marked on the shoulder of a street as an afterthought, and no penalties for parking in it.

Some of the roads around here don’t even have enough shoulder to allow two semi trucks to pass, let alone two cars and a bike.

I’m contemplating making a sign for my bike trailer that says “IF YOU ARE ANNOYED I’M HERE, TELL YOUR LOCAL COUNCIL TO BUILD A BIKE PATH”

I have started saying “bike path” instead of “bike lane” when talking to most people since they get offended at the mere thought of “losing a lane” to cyclists.

I’ve also thought about making a sign that says “rider is armed and carries a brick” since people literally throw things at me and some have even gotten out of their cars to scream at me.

Just for that, I’m going to NOT use my car when I was otherwise planning to.

I mean, I pretty much only drive now when my destination is too far to bike, but I’ve biked to other states before, I can do it again.

But the economy has never been stronger!

Of course it’s held together by billionaires in bunkers trading stocks in companies that no longer exist, and they only have their food storage remaining until they all die, but hey… The economy!

And then if you don’t have a/c, you get blessed with DoT reducing to only -1hp/min instead of -1hp/sec.

Why not just tattoo a number on their arm?

I’m sure there’s no possibility that subdermal trackers would ever be used in shitty ways.

I live on a property with multiple families and we just use one delivery box by the main driveway.

Since this past week was in the 90s, I started leaving out a cooler with ice and bottled water/a few colors of gatorade and a couple snacks in a small basket next to it.

So far, no driver has taken anything, even with a “PLEASE TAKE ONE!” sign on top.

It’s too hot to work outside without all the water you can drink, electrolyte flavor packs, and bare minimum a giant-ass fan. And no, having no doors doesn’t count as having a fan.

Well, at least in my state, we ALL own the road, since we all* pay taxes. YOU get 1/5000000th of the road, YOU get 1/5000000th of the road !

So yes, you partially own the road, but SO DO I MOTHERFUCKER. Me being on a bicycle changes nothing.

*inversely proportional to net worth

Well yeah, if you’re trapped in one of our many prisons, you get to look forward to slave labor! Slavery is perfectly legal and constitutional, as per the 13th amendment.

As an American, seconded.

I’m trapped here, don’t YOU risk being kidnapped and trapped here or sent somewhere worse just because you wanted to see the Grand Canyon.

Yes, I have, and the first time was by accident because I figured “it’s metal, metal is hard to break”

After reading some of this thread, I have decided if someone wants to gift me cast iron and it’s bad, from now on I’m gonna use some of my metalworking tools to engrave a pattern into it.

A big NOT FOR FOOD engraved on the back would be a good addition just in case someone decides it’s decorational engraving and still usable. Maybe even a little periodic table square for lead engraved on it somewhere as well.

I’m cool with people snitching on someone pouring greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.

I mean… A hammer works pretty well, too.

Make it an art piece.

Broken Dreams, 2025

This is something I would expect a chemistry type content creator like codyslab, nilered/blue, or E&I to do just to demonstrate how feasible it is.

With a cost breakdown and showing what chemical waste remains after the fact, it would be super obvious it’s not worth it unless you have some sentimental attachment to it, like it was your great grandparents pan or something.

That banner SLAMMED Jeff bezoz!

I’m sure he didn’t just chuckle to himself and sleep even more soundly at night.

Moth needs to stop runningaway when I try to let it outside, I just want to help but I can’t help if I can’t catch it.

should be impeached

Impeached and then executed for treason.

Gotta start them while they’re young! Cuts back on down time for the meat grinder.
