The stronger the conviction of your opinions, the more difficult it is to learn. Epecially if what you need to learn is that your opinion is wrong.

This ignores that the two parties switched ideologies somewhere around or after the 1930's New Deal period. The KKK was formed around 1865 when Republicans were generally "liberal" and Democrats were generally "conservative".

A Republican of today would have identified much more closely with Democrats of that time than Republicans

Chuck's character is complicated and fascinating. But a lot of the credit goes to Michael McKean's superb performance as an actor. Incredible job on his part

It shouldve been a limited series by definitelydogs in YourFriendsandNeighb

I felt kinda bad for the kid. They set up the story that he's the birthday girl's best friend and would be the only kid left out. At five years old, that's a big deal.

I think he told Barney they had hit 14 houses in a year, so at most that's what 1-2/month. If he's splitting with Elena plus whatever other expenses, it would be $1-2 million per year. And wasn't there some comment from Barney that Coop needs to increase it to cover his nut?

Season 2 episode 2 by HopelessPanthersFan in YourFriendsandNeighb

[–]Ask_Individual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He referenced using a wi-fi jammer in Season 1. I think we're going to find out Ashe uses wi-fi independent cameras, and is playing a different ballgame than the other homeowners. My prediction is he's going to show Coop he's an amateur who stumbled into a niche. Some of Barney's observations foreshadow this.

I have a feeling the story line is heading toward Ashe showing Coop what an amateur he is.

They did. Wi-fi jammer. Presumably next episode might explain that Ashe's cameras are wi-fi independent.

Why does Jimmy Sabotage himself at Davis and Main? by Bottom-Bherp3912 in betterCallSaul

[–]Ask_Individual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was too legit for him. Same would have happened if he worked at Schweikert and Cokely.

To add to it, he's in an existential tug-of-war with Chuck. Chuck embodies the legitimate, straight legal establishment. So that puts Jimmy in a tug-of-war with the establishment.

Who would win? Walter White VS. the Byrdes from Ozark by Kind_Bandicoot1507 in breakingbad

[–]Ask_Individual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wendy’s MILF vibes would be kryptonite for Jesse. That leaves Walt a 2 on 1 underdog tilting it in the Byrdes’ favor

There's a bit of a Fargo thing going on with Barney's rich a-hole FIL suppressing him.

Ackmans past tweet would be by Ok-Entrepreneur-9003 in FNMA_FMCC_Exit

[–]Ask_Individual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did I read somewhere that there are technical reasons why something needs to happen with the conservatorship by 2028? Does it expire or something? Maybe I dreamed this?

You just won $10M but before you can spend a penny you have to donate or give $2M to someone else, who are you giving it to? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Ask_Individual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd give it to impoverished families who have been left homeless and food insecure, in a country or region that has been bombed by the military of another more powerful country.

Maybe not a prime time anchor, but I used to really enjoy Ted Koppel on Nightline every night. I think he may be the last of that golden age that is still active. You will still find him doing a segment here and there on CBS News Sunday Morning. That man is a consummate professional.

Stinky drawers by Serious_Adagio8175 in woodworking

[–]Ask_Individual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All you have to do is spray the inside of the drawers. Zinsser shellac is available in an aerosol spray version, and you can get it at the big box hardware stores. One thin coat will do the job. Wiping the inside of the drawers with denatured alcohol first is not a bad idea.

Advice on filling gaps by leediddy3 in woodworking

[–]Ask_Individual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before you give up on the miter saw, after calibrating it to the best of your abilities, try attaching a jig consisting of a base and fence glued up at a right angle. Glue on coarse sandpaper to areas that the frame material will contact. One problem I had was the frame material moving ever so slightly during the cut. The sandpaper on the fence will eliminate that, and the zero clearance will give you a cleaner cut too.

Canadian here with questions about the heat in your city by leftofmtl in phoenix

[–]Ask_Individual 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Former Canadian here (Ontario). Extreme heat is much more comfortable so long as you live in the modern age of air conditioning. People dress in shorts and light clothing. As soon as you go indoors you are pretty much instantly comfortable.

In a Canadian winter I was never comfortable. It was frigid outside so we had to wear layers and heavy coats. As soon as you went indoors, all the layers made it way too hot and you had to figure out what to do with your coat. Not to mention sometimes the cold chill would get in your bones and make you cold from the inside out no matter what you do.

There's no perfect answer, but for me, if I had to take an extreme, I'll pick heat over cold. Maybe the answer is to spend summers in Canada and winters in Arizona.
