@Poeslawisalive I like how boxcutter is mentioned as some weapon of serious destruction. It’s a razor blade in a metal envelope with the corner exposed to cut packing tape. If a bowie knife, box cutter, samurai, and sawzall was in front of him, he would not be able to identify the boxcutter.
@Botanicalsrock This is beyond the pale. I can’t believe they didn’t let this absurdity die quietly. Of course this guy did not “violently” destroy the liner, that’s ridiculous. But if you enter into this insanity, then the part where the liner was invincible was a lie.
@2DaStarsAnBack@theMakarioz Same. On a cul-de-sac. Ocassionally I find the ball has rolled into my yard. I just walk it over and leave it at the base. If they ever lose it, I’ll just put it on my walmart list.
@HobbyBobby@EricLDaugh It’s pretty clear: which Olympian would you choose to vandalize a pool liner? Gymnast? Curler? Bobsledder? No, you’d use a canoist. The most damning evidence is the lack of a coxswain so as to not draw attention.
@XisSooStupid@freeyormind89@ScienceDJX This is exactly the strategy-and it is working. Be so corrupt that people throw up their hands and say politicians are all corrupt and, presto, your particular corruption is tolerated. It’s disheartening to see so many fall into this trap. Wrong is wrong.
@BartomeoMatthew@KevinWaltman3@j32pmxr@ElephantofLox@UziCryptoo@JongLohnson67 Yeah, I don’t get Dave’s mantra either. Debt is bad, ok, but it’s relative. The argument isn’t between
no mortgage/no job vs mortgage/no job.
It’s between
no mortgage/no job vs mortgage/no job/emergency fund gaining interest.
Think it thru & decide.
@Steve8543997960@Hot_Pepper76 This has been true for 40 years. It was an anti-disco song and just a re-tread of Rock and Roll Never Forgets. Should have been dust-binned in the 70’s, but those damned tighty-whities…
@JerryTurin@Hot_Pepper76 I remember it’s original release, then a high school talent show pantomime every night, then Queen’s GH re-release, then Wayne and Garth, then the movie. Yeah, after 50 years, I can let it go.
@maxm_ideas@GovNuclear Yes. A good old-fashioned PWR (4 units) of 70’s vintage design. Built on time and on budget, currently providing 25% of the nation’s electrical needs. Current US capacity factor 95%. Clearly we need to abandon this and pursue unproven technology.
@lyndalovon@GovNuclear Yeah, I’m embarrassed to say I just don’t get it. There’s thousands of smart people in small modular rx industry who know more than I do. But nuclear’s advantage is power density. 200 MeV/fission. Only reason to make it small is for transportability or to fit it in a tight space.
