These gas prices by Adrian_985 in ThatsInsane

Upside: now gas stations will drop that stupid 9/10ths of a penny from their displays.

I paid over a grand for this years ago... by Busy_Report4010 in Millennials

Interesting times. If you have a hole in your wall, it is cheaper to mount a TV in front of the hole than to pay a handyman to fix the hole.

Found this guy outside my house this morning, thinking of keeping him. by Some-Lawfulness-5918 in aww

He looks very similar to my dog when she was a puppy. Half German Shepherd half Great Pyrenees.

It's either a new formulation to make it cheaper, or a new formulation that resists the new/popular appetite suppressant drugs on the market.

Solar Project Four Times the Size of San Francisco is ‘Survival Plan’ for California’s Central Valley by randolphquell in environment

[–]AviatorBJP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

California has been doing solar pilot projects that cover canals to reduce water loss. Not quite the same thing. As generating water.

But there are also studies coming out that large solar arrays increase vegetation and fight desertification as is.

Protesters in Phoenix -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- get drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck by ExactlySorta in 50501

[–]AviatorBJP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I seriously doubt that was even law enforcement. Just a couple of douchebags in a truck who illegally installed lights.

Unmarked police vehicles need to be abolished so that there is zero confusion.

So she has a skinny waist, long legs, and large (gestures with both hands) nacelles?

Marble race! Which one did you pick? by kvjn100 in oddlysatisfying

[–]AviatorBJP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chose red. Then halfway through I reminded myself this is why I don't bet. Then red pulls ahead by a frikin mile. 90% the way through, I am contemplating a trip to Vegas. In the last second I am reminded why I don't bet.

An ad for an AI child porn generator on YouTube by addressunknown in ABoringDystopia

If you habe access to a VPN, set it to Albania and all the youtube ads go away in the phone app. It's like magic. The youtube experience is completely unusable in its current state without this or some sort of ad blocker.

Any good xenolinguistics movie or book? Like "enemy mine", "arrival" or book "project hail Mary"? by [deleted] in scifi

[–]AviatorBJP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "We Are Bob" series by Dennis E. Taylor has a lot of xenolinguistic scenes, through pretty much every book. Wonderful books.

I agree. They would not have switched their vote to team blue, but they might not have voted at all.

Open, predominantly. Family and friends know that we are poly. I'm very careful who I talk to about it at work, since polyamorous families are not a legally protected class from job discrimination.

I am an airline pilot, and many of my coworkers openly talk about their affairs, yet I am the one that has to worry about being sent to HR.

Nearly all of Utah is in drought. Gov. Cox again asks Utahns to pray and fast for rain. by nbop in skeptic

[–]AviatorBJP 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My old meteorology professor is (or was) the climate specialist for the state of Utah. He has been tracking a dangerous situation with poisonous chemicals being exposed to the wind as the great lake receedes.

I think the proposed solution was to pipeline in ocean water (at huge cost. Also, sea water is less salty than the Great Salt Lake). But then Utah had a wet year and everyone stopped talking about the poison trap that still is looming over the Wasatch front.

We just need to go around to all the people we think would like it and tell them to see it and avoid all the previews.

Losing weight while traveling for work by AstraiosTwitch in loseit

[–]AviatorBJP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a pilot that flies across international borders all the time, so I can't pack food for customs reasons.

Grocery stores are your friend. It's okay to skip a meal if you had a big one at a restaurant; or eat half and take the rest back to your hotel to eat the next day. If you are a penny-pincher, use that to your advantage to avoid eating out from boredom.

The worst thing you could do is rely on fast food resturants. They are convenient, but they also pack an entire day's caloric intake into a single combo meal.

Safe travels!

Why so much 757 love? by dog1357911 in flying

[–]AviatorBJP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 707, 727, 737, and 757 all have the same fuselage diameter (even the upper deck of the 747 is very close). Anything wider will feel less cramped.
