Well there used to be fuckedcompany.com that served a similar purpose. Of course it was litigated into history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fucked_Company

I never had good vibes with an employer sponsored plan. I had the same employer for eleven years in TX. Every year the insurer changed. Every year there was the paper work and tryi…

I’ve lived under several different healthcare systems around the world as an adult. Coming from my time America, nothing felt more like freedom to me than walking out of a hospital…

My high school science teacher(Brother Quinn in the 80s) always said it was possible, although rather expensive, now I know how much - thanks.

They did. I worked in a technical college in the 90s and Autodesk and others were huge fans of the single plugged into the serial port. Was a huge problem not only daisy chaining t…

Fly Navy!

Oh man me too. First i recall dual flush in Australia in the 80s when I was a kid and it was a push down for full, pull up for half - labeled in English - now I have no idea! Now, …

That is so cool. I often wonder if I’ve been on this aircraft before, wish I had that data!

Yeah always at the gate upon landing - sigh, I’d love to jump seat to satisfy my curiosity

This is great. On my « one day » build list. In a similar vein, my 5yr old son has a flight log book - I started it for him as a baby. Every flight he gives asks one of the crew if…

I love there is a slide for WIG - wing in ground effect

Yeah I could have, maybe should have, probably silly for not. Although I’ve done enough stupid stuff in my life to know where my line is and what is worth my time or not. This was …

I’ve had offers to remove a review. Bought a highly rated kettle that broke in a couple of weeks which I returned. Left a review saying such and started to receive offers to remove…

My mentor pointed out my defensive nature a long time ago and quizzed me on it. My response was that the product of my work was like a baby. Very quickly he replied « you’ve got an…

https://listentothe.cloud/ Is my favorite. There’s something really soothing about certain regional accents and the rhythm of their comms. I really liked Hong Kong but it always se…

I can't wait for the Hambini analysis of this one.

Thanks! I remember getting a copy in first year uni just before traveling home for break. Upon getting home I stayed up most of that first night playing just enthralled - something…

I’m pretty much with you and was exactly the same - until I got a Polestar. All the stuff I need is still an actual button - although not ac controls. Physical buttons for volume, …

Yeah exactly. I now live in very rural Australia - I'm over 100 miles from the nearest traffic light - and got a Polestar in June. Theres a rapid charger 10 miles away and whenever…

Rule of life: always ask. I’ve always said no is the second best answer and in most cases the sooner you get a definitive answer the better.

Ha me too! I couldn’t believe that burn and how long it lasted. I soaked my hands in milk as placebo one day. We had a kid just after making it and therefore loads of visitors for …

A lightning bolt carries a current upwards of 100,000 amps, and has upwards of 10 billion joules of energy. How many gigawatts is that? I’ve a car I need to jump start.

Anyone else read that as “The fish smell is amazing”?
