What if I told that all fiction books were fantasy?

I think sports gambling should be legal because otherwise the Bookies will kill you if you can't pay your debts. At least with legal gambling the worst that can happen is bankruptc…

I've had several devices fail right before the new model was released. So frustrating.

Velocidrone $20 is the most popular sim with the pros. It's designed to be the most accurate at as cost of graphic detail. They have open races every week. I can place in the top 3…

If I ever get rich, I would totally open a ghost pizza restaurant. Margins are good. Spoilage is a non-issue. Orders are pickup or delivery. I can bring 10 pizzas to every party.

The "flexibility" of Ruby and RoR made code much harder to maintain than Python. Who cares if you can save 10 minutes coding a page if it takes you an hour to figure out what's hap…

The problem is that wiring standards change. Ideally, you put conduits in the wall then upgrading cables is easier.

For a lot of people, $3500 is nothing especially if they are going to expense it to the company. A lot of companies are going to buy it just to figure out what types of apps can be…

Being able to code well is more easily measured than "softer" skills. If you can't code, it's immediately obvious. Being a good HR person or Inclusivity Officer is much more subjec…

Most pre-industrial cities were limited by how far you could walk in 30 minutes to the center of town where the markets and government would be. Most people walked everywhere, espe…

Those Amazon delivery trucks are pretty light weight. It's not like they are hauling sand, the boxes are mostly empty.

I agree and live in an area where I only have to use my car a few times a week and walk/bike most of the time. The problem is most people own homes in areas where it's not practica…

A fully autonomous car charging robot would be a solution for that now. Fall asleep in your van, car recharges every 300 miles via robot, 3 days later you are on the other coast.

My experience is that in a big city you can meet people that better fit into your "tribe", the downside is that they leave town for the higher pay job after about 4 years. The only…

The Proud Boys started as a joke by a former Punk Singer. Punks ideology was based on anti-racist and anti-sexist beliefs, They didn't realize that there was a real audience for th…

Myopia is interesting. One theory I've heard is that it's because people aren't exposed to enough sunlight when their eyes are developed. Myopia is almost non-existent in hunter ga…

The concept of Demonic Possession has existed since antiquity. They probably had some sort of mental health disorder. Schizophrenia seems to have similar symptoms.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5682732/ Both groups observed significant decrease in disease activity score (DAS) (p < 0.001). Significantly higher decrease in pain i…

Since iOS 16, Siri has gotten dramatically less accurate for me on my Iphone 13 Pro. WebGL has been screwed since 16.4

Hindenberg got a bad rap. It just happened to look scary and was caught on film. 1/3 of the Hindenberg passengers survived the crash. Way better survival rate than plane crashes.

You would get a better result popping your pizza into your oven at home. The steam in the pizza bag probably softens the crust.

If you aren't strong swimmer you should not play in ocean waves. If you don't know if you are a strong swimmer you are NOT. The ocean doesn't give a shit about your life.

You pay $200/hr for the work you see onsite. What you don't see is overhead, drive time to site and back to HQ and because plumbers aren't guaranteed to work 40 hours a week. If th…

Pipe fitters tend to have really strong hands because the pipes are heavy and awkward. Working with awkward heavy things tends to wear out your joints
