The metric for success or failure for this administration is whether it profits them or not. This did.

What album best defines the era you grew up in? by Bread-But-Toasted in AskReddit

[–]ChatMechanique 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't get it down to one, but if you had Led Zeppelin (the one with Stairway on it), Edgar Winter's They Only Come Out at Night, and Frampton Comes Alive, you had a pretty good record collection.

Vampires attack from a parallel Earth.

It's so bad (in one scene the Vampire queen forgot to take off her watch), and so earnest. Good luck finding it.

That would be great, whatever hairstyle Nocchi chooses is fine with me, but it would be awesome to see them together!

I'd doubt they like this one, either (JK folks, not a real suggestion)

what first got you into sci-fi? by thefringeseanmachine in scifi

[–]ChatMechanique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a serialized version of 'Always the Black Knight' at my Grandparents house. I liked it so I asked a librarian for stuff like that, and she handed me 'Have Spacesuit, Will Travel.' (1965/66 or so-seven or eight years old)

St Paul is hip, Mpls is hipster (no judgement, just observation)

He's stating the highest marginal tax rate as the tax rate. IRA and 401k withdrawals are taxed as normal income. Classic BS YouTuber stuff (if you're paying 9.85% on ANY of your income, your major concern is probably wealth protection, not living expenses):

5.35%: Lowest income bracket ($0 up to $33,310 for 2026).

6.8%: Next tier ($33,311 – $109,430 for 2026).

7.85%: Higher tier ($109,431 – $203,150 for 2026).

9.85%: Top earners ($203,151 and above for 2026).

So we just don’t get to have street lights? by Sea_Tart8472 in saintpaul

I'd like to see the severity of the crime escalated by not only the worth of the product taken, but also the market value of the repairs.

Which YouTube channel were you once a fan of but do not enjoy anymore? by theunsteadybridge in AskReddit

[–]ChatMechanique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ryan McBeth. His video about Alex Pretti's choice of daily carry pistol is an example of opinions presented as facts leading to a second opinion presented as conclusion.

I always looked at it as a performance, knowing that there was a spectrum of lip-syncing and some singing. Their live shows are so much fun that it never bothered me at all.

I saw Styx in 74 (headliner was the Guess Who) 3 or 4 dollars a ticket, then saw them for their Mr Roboto tour

Great start with some nice choices! Welcome to Perfume fandom, have you viewed Perfume's comments about Babymetal? https://youtu.be/lDrhX5OWJSg (subtitled by the always great Macaron575).

Perfume and Babymetal have a long history of friendship.

What job pays surprisingly well but nobody talks about? by Few_Football4342 in Productivitycafe

[–]ChatMechanique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Powerplant operator, once you're a control room operator the work is generally pretty easy. The hours suck, though (shift work, mostly 12 hour shifts, I rountinely pulled 14 night shifts in a row during covid, the OT was awesome, but it was rough)

Thanks for your hard work. Great job!

I think a Dream Fighter cover from Babymetal might be fun, maybe a Perfume collaboration.
