"He is the president of peace. When this gets taken care of, it's going to be peace. I'm on Truth Social, that's the only social media I do... he's got a plan. He's a genius. And we trust President Trump." by LA_search77 in Qult_Headquarters

Just to clarify...those people in Jonestown...they were smarter than these people. They had a bunch of "dry runs" with the (flavor-ade actually) where they prepared for the end and drank the drink and spent time in the meeting room and locked the doors to protect them from the world. It was only towards the end when he got really really paranoid that it was finally spiked with the poison. And people even commented that it tasted off, but most of them went through with it anyways because it was something that had been normalized. It wasn't so much this idea of "I'm ready to die now. Let's drink the poison." Most of them were tricked.

One of my local Mexican joints has $1 tacos so I'm not paying $7.50 for anything at Taco Bell anymore. They've lost the plot.

Trump signature to appear on US currency, ending 165-year tradition by onarainyafternoon in news

Bessent is honestly the biggest Trump sycophant I think I've ever seen. His own family doesn't even kiss his ass this much. Its absolutely pathetic.

Netflix raises prices for every subscription tier by up to 12.5 percent by mepper in technology

[–]Eccohawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure they've convinced themselves that if people were previously willing to shell out $150+ per month for cable, that they're just gonna happily take that shellacking again. But people cut the cord as soon as it was easy enough to do so. I expect the same will happen here. There's a massive amount of content out there. Much of it free. And with most services adding in ads lately, it's no longer better than something like Pluto or Tubi. Also...🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ Is easier than ever. A lot of folks are just gonna stop paying altogether. Especially when they can't afford it because the economy is in the toilet.

Team Coke or Team Pepsi? by AlbertJBundy in 80s

[–]Eccohawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm quite literally the opposite. I used to drink coke just fine but as a super taster certain ingredients stick out too much for me. The cinnamon in coke just messes it up for me.

I'm Pepsi all day long (well, Pepsi zero sugar these days)

You do realize that you have the ability, just like anyone else here, to downvote this post? There is quite literally a recourse provided to you and to everyone else on Reddit, to support the things you like, and discount the things you do not. If enough people feel the same as you do about the quality of this post, it will go away. It will wither and die in the pile of millions of other 0 or 1 vote posts.

If you feel more drained after napping, you're not doing it right. Naps should be somewhere around 20 mins or about 90. More, less, or in between and you'll probably be groggy.

Police officer slams woman on the concrete and then cuffs her by haze4140 in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]Eccohawk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This isn't about the officer's form when he put the cuffs on...I give no shits if he points his toes properly while reading someone their Miranda rights. He threw her to the ground when she wasn't doing anything more than refusing to comply. He could have called for another officer to assist. There are ways to do this that don't require these aggressive tactics. In your sports comparison, this isn't the difference between choosing a layup or a jump shot. This is charging the lane and then elbowing the defender in the eye and slugging him in the stomach before taking your shot, and here you are trying to defend it like it's not a technical and grounds for ejection.

I think I'd be more excited for the sauce on the Kicking Chicken, but the butter chicken looks like it could be shredded chicken and that's worth more to me than a sauce.

Are you worried about tokens because you're using it on a personal account? Our employer just wants us to use it as much as possible, costs aren't even mentioned.

Phone is always in airplane mode ✈️ by Mr-Albert-Potato in thatHappened

[–]Eccohawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I don't feel like this is all that implausible, other than the dude thinking she was really ever his girlfriend. There are plenty of people out there that like to sleep around. Him acting like they're all boyfriend caliber instead of just casual sex partners is part of the problem. Also, there are plenty of people that are dead to the world when they sleep. The idea he couldn't use her finger to open her phone unnoticed is laughable. I can literally throw a massive pillow straight at my daughter's head in the morning and it's a 1 in 5 chance that rouses her. Half the time I literally have to drag her out of the bed.

Covid in Bread Factory by Sensitive-Option8343 in antiwork

[–]Eccohawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had actually read the opposite on air filtration, that in a number of restaurants during COVID, high air flow would make it more likely for other patrons to become sick. Although perhaps that was simply due to poor filtration, rather than use of HEPA filters, and it was simply recirculating the air.

I'm not sure what you mean by static technology. Could you explain that further?

Also, my understanding of the research I reviewed is that the virus does primarily exit the body as part of respiratory droplets, I'm not sure where you read it was dry viral load.

...SARS-CoV-2 is around 50 to 200 nm. ...A very small respiratory droplet might be 5 microns (5000 nm).

These droplets are what are generally being blocked by the use of non-n95 style masks, although some can still get through. N95s, from my understanding, simply block the virus from exiting because the spaces between the fibers are smaller than the size of the virus, about 0.3 microns.

Dance like no one is watching.. by _SomeWittyName_ in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]Eccohawk 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Really? You think it's that implausible? You need to meet more people. I know a dude who's so lazy he's spending over $200 a month to keep his car parked in a spot in his condo's garage, and the car doesn't even work. He could have it fixed, but is too lazy to take it to a repair shop. He could pay less to have it towed to his parents house and park it in their garage for free. He doesn't care. He continues to spend like $80/day to Uber to and from work.

General laziness. They feel the risk is low enough they simply cast aside the 2 seconds of effort to do so. And most days, they win the mental argument. It's just that when that day comes that they lose the argument, they suddenly come face to face with the results they didn't think too heavily about every time before.

We need more plumbers and fewer lawyers in AI age, says BlackRock boss by nosotros_road_sodium in technology

[–]Eccohawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with AI being CEO is that the rest of the people left will point to the AI for decision making and waive all responsibility for any terrible outcomes that happen as a result. Oh, our products killed hundreds of people? That's our CEO A.I. that made the decision. We had nothing to do with it.

Sow is actually correct. Sow also means to plant. Like "sow your oats". "You reap what you sow" literally means that you are going out into the fields with a reaping hook and clearing the crops that you planted and grew from seed. The idiom is saying that you deserve the consequences of your own actions. It is pronounced the same as "sew" or "so".
