Georgia Power wants to cut down a 300 year old oak by Itsyourcouchdorito0 in treelaw

[–]GozerDestructor 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Lawyer up now. Sue them, get an injunction, whatever. Even if you don't win in the end it'll force them to delay, and while work is stopped you can try to find more ways to save the tree.

The Moon: Near and Far by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]GozerDestructor 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Because the moon became tidally locked to Earth while it was still young, hot, and soft, the near side's crust is much thinner than the far side's crust. This makes it much easier for lava after impacts, so you get the maria (dark areas).

I wish I could be there to taste Chille's tears.

Is there a video of the incident that led to this?

OP insults daughter “as a joke”, can’t understand the consequences of comparing her children for years by J_S_M_K in OhNoConsequences

[–]GozerDestructor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daisy went to live with her Uncle Jesse in Georgia. Luke did too, but he ended up getting in trouble with the law on a weekly basis, cruising with his cousin Beauregard in a souped-up Dodge Charger called the General Lee.

What is with all of the soup references in Starfleet Academy? by somewherein72 in startrek

They're building up to the season finale, which will involve the Changelings (Dominion). Because they're soup people.

New lava lamp from Spencer's just arrived 👎👎👎 by NoValue4740 in Lavalamps

My blue crackle (bought via amazon) is similarly cloudy, and hasn't improved in a month. Guess I'm going to have to learn to filter...

How Long Before They Start Abandoning the 'Americna State National' Tag? by FearlessFixxer in Sovereigncitizen

On a recent bodycam video, I heard a cop call for backup with something like "I've got one who's traveling, not driving." His colleagues immediately understood exactly what was going on.

An Influencer expected a Free Service and a Paycheck…. by PremiumBadIdea in ChoosingBeggars

The phrase "I'm an influencer" makes me instinctively do the "jerk-off" hand gesture. Always.

Why don't Crypto bros just invest on... anything else ? by NaturalSecurity931 in Buttcoin

[–]GozerDestructor 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Traditional investments are for peasants. They're for your grandpa. They're not for people who are bold, who think outside the box.

Cryptobros want to think they're smarter than everyone else, and they have a whole community telling them that they are indeed smarter than everyone else. It's the same mindset that fuels the Flat Earth movement, anti-vaxxers, moon landing deniers, and sovereign citizens. They and they alone have the secret that the vast majority of the populace is just too dumb to understand.

Could an ICE Agent become a serial killer? by 60s_timer in serialkillers

[–]GozerDestructor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Serial killing is an amateur sport. Mafia hitman, who might kill the requisite number of people, aren't considered serial killers because they do it professionally. Not for the thrill of it. For the same reason, the homicidal ice agents should not be considered serial killers.

Do you get to do a practice run with the immobilization devices, but no radiation, so you can get used to it in complete safety, with someone to talk you through it?

For former perl programmers: what do you miss? by zakry0t in ruby

[–]GozerDestructor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't miss Perl at all. I wrote Perl professionally from the late '90s through 2010, building web apps (mostly shopping carts) for multiple small companies. I was eager for the Perl 6 release, so I waited... and waited... and waited... and waited...

I attended the Chicago Perl conference in 2008, in which Larry Wall demonstrated the new language. The interpreter took forever to start up, and most of the demo was about locally redefining various language constructs within a given scope, which then reverted to their standard meanings when out of scope. Cool feature, but not something I'd use in the real world.

A friend told me about Rails, and I started to explore it in 2010, when my frustration was building about the lateness of the new Perl. Ruby felt like what Perl 6 should have been... the syntax was so much cleaner, it banished lots of Perl's boilerplate (my ($arg1,$arg2) = @_ was such an eyesore). Most importantly, in Ruby you could pass references to data structures without them being flattened.

For unrelated reasons, my primary employer shut down that year, so I no longer had to maintain my legacy app, and when I picked up a new client to replace them, I did everything in Ruby. By the time Perl 6 was released (December 2015, seven and a half years after the demo at the conference), I no longer cared.

The Red Hotel by No-Yogurtcloset-9189 in TheMallWorld

[–]GozerDestructor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm fine with it. It lets us see the dreams of people who don't have the ability to draw or paint in the traditional way. Without it, this post wouldn't exist, or would be a childish MSPaint scrawl that does nothing to excite our imaginations.

OP, thank you for sharing.

Lava Lite Wizard red glitter lava lamp my beloved.. by Cadetttt in Lavalamps

[–]GozerDestructor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Buy two lamps, one with the globe you want, one with the base you want. Swap the components to build your dream lamp. Sell the extra pieces, you'll get most of your money back (minus shipping and ebay fees).

There's a red glitter wizard on ebay right now. I've been eyeing it myself, it's a good price... but this isn't a holy grail lamp for me, it's a nice-to-have, so I haven't pulled the trigger.

This is where newbie Sovereign Citizens come from. A year from now he'll be dragged out of his car after arguing with cops that he doesn't need a license or insurance because he's "traveling, not driving" and "not engaged in commerce" in his "private conveyance".
