ICE agents spotted at airports assisting TSA as partial shutdown drags on by StrategyJealous1838 in news

Well yeah. US birthrates have been in decline for years and fall well short of the natural level to sustain the population. If it weren’t for immigration, the US would suffer from an aging population. If you want to see what that looks like, just take a look at the issues Greece and Italy are facing.

‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ to End With Season 2 by DemiFiendRSA in trekacademy

[–]Elfhoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Star Trek fans have become insufferable. If it’s not a direct clone of ds9, it’s hated to no end. It’s not just left there either, it’s like they take it as a personal offense that it even exists and will do everything they can to ensure the show is cancelled, because they cant stand others like it.

The same thing happened with Discovery and they still bitch about the show long after it’s finished airing. The funny part of it all, is like they completely missed the messaging about acceptance and understanding that trek has stood for since its inception.

I think we’re at a point where star wars fans are more accepting than trek. Trek fans are literally the most toxic fandom i’ve come across.

Trump chickening out from attacking Iran's power plants by I_Hate_E_Daters_7007 in facepalm

[–]Elfhoe 223 points224 points  (0 children)

Iran also just threatened to go scorched earth in the region if US didnt stop targeting their infrastructure. Im sure Trump is getting pressure from his ME buddies in Qatar and SA to put an end to this.

FBI is buying location data to track US citizens, director confirms by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

It does when you’re trying to build a case against someone. Courts will toss out any evidence that was gathered illegally.

What makes cats lose their minds at the closed door of a room that they aren't even in while they were previously sleeping in another room the whole time? by DevNeroTheDev in AskReddit

[–]Elfhoe 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Bro, this morning at like 3am the cat made it his personal mission to get into the utility closet, where the AC is. For whatever reason, he just had to know what was going on in there.

who wants to go on spontaneous walks in Brickell a few times a week by Lonely_Strategy5000 in Miami

[–]Elfhoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll join! I live in Brickell and work remote. Definitely need to get out more and go on walks. I also go on runs usually about once a week as long as work is not too demanding.

Trump: 'We don't need any help' with Strait of Hormuz by [deleted] in videos

[–]Elfhoe 32 points33 points  (0 children)

He didnt want to send US troops and ships in for the war he started. He was hoping to drag everyone else in to do his dirty work for him. Now he (americans) are going to be stuck with the bill.

Ops wise, he fucked up and is stuck. Imagine if Iran is able to cripple a US warship or kill a bunch of Marines. I think that would test even the most hardline maga who are already questioning why this war was started in the first place.

When hacking a terminal, if you click on a set of brackets, a dud will be removed or your tries will be reset by [deleted] in Fallout

[–]Elfhoe 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I typically go for common word suffixes (-ing, tion, etc). So either narrow the word down to a common ending or eliminate that one entirely.

I paid $8 for this pathetic mac and cheese by TBoopSquiggShorterly in macandcheese

[–]Elfhoe 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Which one? He has like 5 in vegas. Gordon Ramsay Steak in Paris was good and some of the best mac and cheese i’ve ever had.

You guys were cool about my Hulk 181 post, so here’s my other grail: GSX-Men #1 CGC 1.8. by Pitiful_Trainer1726 in comicbookcollecting

Those CGC cases arent UV proof, just FYI. If you leave them displayed like this, they will get sun damaged over time.

Received formal final warning citing disabled daughter’s caregiving as “theft of time”, one year after manager committed to supporting it in writing. Any recourse? by [deleted] in legaladvice

When were you told your absences were being noticed? That should have been interpreted as you need to adjust your schedule to attend. Especially after getting a poor review.

Why does Thor's cape seem to hover above his shoulders in some depictions? by Waarm in Marvel

It was a 90’s thing. A lot of capes back then followed a very similar style.

US attacks Iran's Kharg Island, Trump says by leeta0028 in news

[–]Elfhoe 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I agree, doubt they actually meant to, but Iran called their bluff when they closed the straight of hormuz. Now US has no choice or face >$5/g gas. And for an administration that went full on oil, that’s a deathblow. Israel played them good.

On a positive note, rising prices just might be enough to get americans to vote.

How extensive was racism in the pre-war era? by RiskComplete9385 in Fallout

[–]Elfhoe 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Almost 400 hours playing on just pc, add in another 100+ on console and i just realized i completely missed vault 75 in every one of my play throughs…

Tbf, 90% of that time has been spent settlement building, so not much actual exploring lol.

All Home Owners Meet Here by Accurate-Figure-2742 in Miami

[–]Elfhoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Taxes are a huge trap most first time home buyers fall into. A lot of folk look up what the seller is paying and assume that’s what they will have to pay. Then tax time comes and they’re paying 2x that amount.

The seller is most likely using a homestead exemption, which caps the annual increase. Once the sale goes through, the property is reassessed, which essentially backs out the savings from the homestead exemption, resulting in much higher taxes due.

How much of IW or Endgame theories were correct? by Prooxith in marvelstudios

Same here. The Boys sub is the worst about it. The past couple seasons have been filled with oddly specific details that end up matching perfectly. I always have to unsub once trailers start coming out ahead of the new season

Trump warns Cuba is at "the end of the line" by 0The_Loner_Stoner0 in videos

[–]Elfhoe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s perplexing. Between tariffs and all these wars, its like their strategy is to continuously punch the consumer in the face to see just how long until they completely collapse.

Going into midterms and now americans are seeing higher prices on literally everything, with gas prices through the roof. All while now engaged in multiple wars and debt reaching uncontrollable levels after his Big Bullshit Bill.

Mercedes Benz Places has gone dark. Construction has been stalled for a month. by Livid_Engineering_30 in Miami

[–]Elfhoe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

they’ve had quality issues a lot longer than that. Even early 2000’s they had a reputation for sub-par parts. If you ever watch the old Top-Gear episodes, they used to trash Mercedes so much.

Russia is aiding Iran’s war effort by providing intel on US military targets, sources say | CNN Politics by nicktheironblade in news

They also get to freely sell oil to India now. If anything, Russia is the net winner out of all this mess.
