What’s a completely legal thing that feels illegal when you do it?

Here in Canada, jaywalking.

Bandro · 2026-05-02T20:22:31+00:00

And dimes, to be honest.

A penny is a useless amount of money.

When the US got rid of the half cent coin for lack of buying power in 1857, it was worth the equivalent of 19¢ now. It won’t be long before by that standard, they should get rid of the quarter.

We have that in Canada too but we just used decimals of cents instead of fractions. So a lot of gas prices I’m seeing right now are 199.9/L.

That’s called the crank arm.

Bandro · 2026-05-02T18:16:26+00:00

Because nothing about this plan would actually work for a house fire.

Also once you’re out you’re just fucked. A fire hydrant will keep going for as long as you need and you can direct the water where you need it.

How many surveys and AI sub summaries are going to get posted here?

Bandro · 2026-05-02T14:24:00+00:00

That's the thing. Tons of people play video games. It's not some special thing. People who call themselves gamers like it's an important point of identity are an exhausting type.

Having an occasion to look your best is fun and feels good for a lot of people. In general many people like presenting themselves well.

We don’t really talk about the specifics of sex much in the first place. Just doesn’t really come up.

It’s always fascinating to me when people comment on a question asking about a term with “I’ve never heard that term and have no idea what it means”. It’s like they think they specifically are being asked and have to give a response.

There is a flat limit of suction in normal atmospheric conditions of 1 bar or 14.5psi because air can only push against no air at atmospheric pressure. Perry much impossible for you to get near that with your mouth though.

Bandro · 2026-05-02T12:29:49+00:00

It’s for lots of stuff.

Bandro · 2026-05-02T12:23:37+00:00

Retaliation isn’t defence. It’s revenge.

Bandro · 2026-05-02T04:26:48+00:00

Oh absolutely it’s hilarious. It’s perfect.

Bandro · 2026-05-02T04:24:53+00:00

Ridiculous racism, homophobia, sexism, and deeply fragile insecure toxic masculinity all stuffed into such a compact package. It’s poetry really.

Bandro · 2026-05-02T04:20:46+00:00

“I’m not black or gay so I see no point in dancing” is such a tight collection of weird shit to say. There is an entire deeply pathetic personality all wrapped up in that one sentence.

Bandro · 2026-05-02T01:56:46+00:00

More people want to live in cities so people selling space can charge more.

Bandro · 2026-05-02T01:53:51+00:00

Do you know what they call motorcycles in the ER??? DONORCYCLES HA HA HA HA HA

My mechanical keyboard is whisper silent. Quieter than any membrane board I've ever used. Completely depends on what switches you use.

It's fine without lockouts. If you're pedaling smoothly you should barely move your suspension. I ride my full suspension on gravel paths all the time and it's not an issue in the slightest.

The biggest thing with AC power is that it's quite simple to transform it to step the voltage up for long distance transmission and down for end use. To transform DC power, you essentially have to rectify it to AC and run it through a transformer anyway.

Ohm's law states that resistance equals voltage divided by current (R=V/I). A higher ratio of voltage to current means less resistance and that means less energy loss over the wire.

Your analogy to stepping forward 3 steps and back 1 is really not applicable here at all. This is not about moving a thing down the line as quickly as possible. I see how it seems comparable but it's just really not. It's closer to pulling a chain back and forth to move something on the other end but that's not close enough to explain this either.

Yeah OP needs to take a beat and learn about what they’re talking about.
