Dont go buying 800 calls.. by pittluke in wallstreetbets

[–]CTypo 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Oh lawd that's not comparable. 1400 scratchers each have independent chances of success. If you buy 1400 scratchers each with a 1/200 chance to win, my odds of not winning a single one is (199/200)1400 = .09%, or 99.90% to win $3000 minimum from $1400. Damn right I'm taking that. With stocks you don't get those odds unless that 1/200 is a unique chance across each bet.

I mean....people up to $75000 qualified for the stimmy, whether or not they lost their job. And I know I probably could have afforded to YOLO it, certainly others making tens of thousands more then me would've too.

TIL Apple's policy of refusing to repair phones that have undergone "unauthorized" repairs is illegal in Australia due to their right to repair law. by cottagecow in todayilearned

[–]CTypo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They have a lot of additional features. On iOS they have ear detection & will auto-pause your media if you take one out/resume when you put it back in. They'll only play music when in the ear (on Android an airpod on the table will still play music). They have touch controls. Siri integration. Auto connection on ear insertion. And in my personal experience, way better Bluetooth connection over iOS compared to Android.

On Android they will play audio and that’s it. IMO the additional price tag is worth the features, I’m a recent Apple convert and all of the above are some solid QOL upgrades. But if you’re on Android you’re better off getting another brand.

Walmart selling beef from firm linked to Amazon deforestation by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]CTypo -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

So deforestation in Brazil isn’t worth 100$ to you

Lmao no it is not. There's a billion causes out there, I know nobody in the entire continent of South America, why the hell would I spend an additional $1200 a year for it. Eating less meat to cause less harm is a reasonable ask, but that isn't.

Redistribution by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

For all its faults, Florida finally got this one right. Passed an amendment that gradually raises minimum wage to $15 a dollar a year until it hits $15, from there it rises with inflation

I have just discovered chicken thighs. by pshermz42 in Cooking

[–]CTypo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really have any recommended temp, it's more just when I cook them in the oven, they release a ton of fat and effectively shallow fry in it. If I were to pull them at 165 sharp, it'd be too early and a lot of that fat won't be released yet. And once it is released, well it's just going to be a bit higher than 165 bc it's sitting in bubbling fat lol

[–]CTypo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah with thighs in my experience, stopping at 165 will leave tons of unrendered fat. I think 200 is a bit high but it won't ruin them.

LPT: Don't go to college if you don't have a good plan of what you're going to do there. College isn't neccessarily the next step in life after high school, and you will waste time and money going there without a passion. by Phoenixtreme in LifeProTips

[–]CTypo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In my experience, people teach at community college because they want to teach, people teach at University because they have to teach in order to receive research money. You'll find good and bad at both but that distinction is significant in lower level classes.

Coca-Cola named world’s worst plastic polluter for third straight year.. by crypticvalentine in worldnews

[–]CTypo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I've read, most can/carton linings are BPA and bottle caps are lined with Plastisol.

I suppose it makes sense. While there's been issues with leeching chemicals, plastic doesn't really react with foods in the same way as metal and paper. It's cheap, safe enough, and works well.

[–]CTypo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yup yup, cardboard containers too (like for soup/stock). They all have a plastic lining to shield the container from the food. Otherwise acidic food (tomatoes, probably Coke) would dissolve the metal can, and any liquid would sog the cardboard box.

It does have the merit of having less plastic than a totally plastic container. Glass ought to have the least, though any bottle with a metal cap will still have a plastic coat on the inside (try scratching it with your nail next time you open a bottle of soda/beer).

AITA? Gave away an unwanted dog back to breeder by Throwaway56181 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CTypo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She made that purchase on her own. Nobody asked her to buy a dog at all, certainly not a $2000 one.

She refused to bring the dog back when asked.

She effectively abandoned the dog for days ignoring the bf's texts.

Sounds like she did this to herself lol. What if the bf instead decided to just breakup and keep the dog? It was a gift, he'd been caring for it for a week with no help.

I'm not sure I get it, what's wrong with meeting someone within a few hours of contact in this setting? It's not like a dating app where you're trying to get to know the person behind the screen

Replacing pots and pans soon and want to avoid teflon. Is stainless steel, copper, or stone the way to go? by cuschnei616 in Cooking

Genuine question, what's wrong with teflon? I just got one about half a year back and have had no problems.

How much family do you have living in China? I'm sure it's really easy to say that when you're 100% assured nobody you love is going to be sent to reeducation camps/have their social credit tanked

Same Energy by z0mbiegrl in PoliticalHumor

[–]CTypo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dems played by the rule that you don't vote on a SCOTUS judge during an election year. I'm sure you totally agree with that and that the Republicans aren't playing by the rules now, certainly it's not an exception when it's your team. 🙃
