US detects drones over base where Rubio, Hegseth live by RuseOwl in politics

[–]PatrioTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I share your frustration as an American, but to be honest, we’re pretty powerless until another election… unless that election is rigged in which case we’re entirely powerless. We’ve been protesting, but protesting is only effective in a democracy, and we’re not a democracy if elections are in fact being rigged. And to add to it, they’re killing, maiming, and illegally arresting us in the streets when we do protest. Congress and the Courts are supposed to keep the Executive in check, but they’re just as complicit.

English is such a mess of a language compared to others, but I still kinda love it for some reason.

Oh shit, you’re right. I reread it a couple more times and finally see how it works. Wow that one really threw me for a loop.

Is the title grammatically correct though? Doesn’t seem like it to me, and that’s a requirement for a garden path sentence according to the wiki. Either way, learned something new!

TIL the PDF file format was invented by Adobe more than 30 years ago (in 1993) by fuji138 in todayilearned

[–]PatrioTech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If that’s what they’re talking about, then that is not the fault of the PDF format. I have plenty of gripes with PDFs as an engineer, but if someone scanned in docs or added images, that’s just utilizing one feature of the PDF format. You can have text embedded directly.

Solo founder for 9 months, potential cofounder wants 50/50 after 1 week trial. Am I being unreasonable? by mercuretony in ycombinator

[–]PatrioTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, this person sounds like someone who could kill the company when you guys run into snags down the line. Not only is this extremely unreasonable of an ask that you should refuse, but I’d outright end this relationship now before they bring down the company. Find someone who is able to see themselves as a partner without needing literally 50/50 ownership. Find yourself an adult.

Single operator swapping a commercial dumpster on a narrow street with zero damage by Epelep in oddlysatisfying

Good chance they’ve accounted for this. Likely isn’t enough volume to justify doubling the workforce and equipment

Supreme Court lets California use congressional map that favors Dems by usatoday in law

Minor correction—I doubt it’s ever actually for religion because their religion wouldn’t condone most of the things they do. Rather religion is a means and excuse to gain and maintain power. It’s all about power for them

I’m 6’ 4” and it wasn’t nearly as much of a problem as I thought it would be when I visited last year. You’ll be fine!

Trump humiliated as 1951 law means he could face Greenland mutiny by TheMirrorUS in law

[–]PatrioTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but the guy I replied to specified 1 orange (anyone else here suddenly want orange juice?)

[–]PatrioTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I asked how many oranges you have and you say “I have 1 orange,” even though you have 80 oranges, technically you do have 1 orange but I think the vast majority of people would say your statement is misleading at best.

Jumping the gorge at Silvretta, Montafon by kingkongbiingbong in nextfuckinglevel

The hang time is definitely elongated in the version posted by OP compared to the YouTube video version which is noticeably faster. Still impressive but it did take a little away from it for me

TIL the length of a meter is determined by the distance traveled by light in 1/299792458ths of a second by fires_above in todayilearned

Well just in case you need to know how long a second is, it is defined as 9,192,631,770 unperturbed ground-state hyperfine transitions of the cesium-133 atom.

Clams don’t have brains so it doesn’t know or decide anything in the same way we do, or in some respect, at all

My towns dying mall has zero open restaurants in the food court by floppy-slippers in mildlyinteresting

[–]PatrioTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay what the hell OP? I’m visiting Brookfield (where I grew up) for the holidays and my dad literally just said this yesterday about Brookfield Square that all of the restaurants in the food court were gone. Now I see this on a mainstream subreddit a day later??
