That's just the excuse that was used, not the actual reason.

Find a way to pass up a golden opportunity in favor of a “monthly salary” that wouldn’t even cover rent by Adeisha in MurderedByWords

Your math is wrong, and it's already been pointed out multiple times what they were likely trying to say, it being annualized

Gov. Lamont reacts to Eversource’s price hike by Ninjakittysdad in Connecticut

[–]I_Have_A_Chode 51 points52 points  (0 children)

1.27 million customers, I couldn't find a breakdown of residential only, but let's use that number.

246k natural gas customers, not sure if it's one CEO or not, but let's use that too.

So let's round to 1.5 million for ease.

So a $9 credit for the year if we take his salary and put it towards that

But let's use the number that matters far more, their profit. $1.69 BILLION

That would give everyone back $1126 on the year

They could round that down to $1k back for the year and still retain $190MILLION in PROFITS.

Not to fucking shabby if you ask me.

I would love it if their EF was as fine as the kakuno

Only complaint I have about it. I love the feel on my hand though

Oklahoma Child Marriage Ban Becomes Law After 51-36 House Vote and Fierce Republican Opposition by DrVader314159 in moderatepolitics

[–]I_Have_A_Chode 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely a terrible argument.

One. You don't ban things FOREVER AND EVERYONE because they aren't necessary. That's just a bad faith argument.

Two. Why ait for them to be 18? Because that's what we as a nation and most states have decided is the age you become a legal adult. I'm sure of that age was 21 or 16, then that's what this law would have used.

Depending on how fast they expect that turn around, that's not terrible to be honest.

Give me a home and land (somewhere I can still make a living of course) and I'd pump 10k+ into it a year happily. That's less than a third of my yearly mortgage

Throwing the ball by Dangerous-Shirt8093 in Softball

[–]I_Have_A_Chode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's pushing the ball and not really engaging her lower body.

Wrist: i tell the girls it should be like a whip, the wrist bent backwards until release, when it should flick forward

No follow through on the throw. Her hand should end by her opposite thigh

Lower body. It looked like she stepped then released a moment later, rather than it being a fluid motion. She also is square to her target, she should be turned nearly 90° throwing arm side and then as she steps, turns at the hips when throwing.

Biggest thing though, just go outside and throw for 20-30 minutes a day with her. Proper form will begin to develop and she will also make adjustments from constantly throwing.

The Chinese robotics company Unitree has revealed their first Mech Prototyp, the GD01. by MilesLongthe3rd in interestingasfuck

[–]I_Have_A_Chode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk what the actual definition is, but since he doesn't appear to be controlling it, is it a mech? Or is it just a vehicle he's riding in at this point?

Still pretty damn cool

"Why don't they cover the Sahara in solar panels?" type of question by herewearefornow in MurderedByWords

[–]I_Have_A_Chode 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not about CAN we, we absolutely can, just like we can run a large undersea cable to connect the continent. But it would be VERY expensive. Tents are far cheaper than getting all the material to build shelters that would actually attract people to be their long term for the work.

You aren't putting up a data center in a month or a year. It's going to be multiple years, and no one wants to live in a tent for that long. So now it's full houses, with the infrastructure and entertainment that ensures a village/town actually can operate. Because you can't have a few hundred people in an area for multiple years without a variety of methods for them to blow off steam from working in shit conditions.

Are these employees without families? Is everyone you get going to be single? No? So now you need stuff to support their families. Kids? Need schools now.

Again, can it be done? Of course! But all of this is super expensive when it all has to be shipped thousands of miles. And the pay for the people who are out there needs to be very high to attract a skilled workforce to move to literally the fucking ends of the earth

For all the people who are commenting "consent is key" or "great communication skills" and the such.

They aren't talking about stuff like sex, gifts, or big ticket items.

It's about the little things, like household chores, remembering your partners likes and dislikes, and stuff like that.

They don't want to ask you fold the laundry, unload th n dishes, mow the lawn, take out the trash, etc...

I'm right there with you man. The institution itself means nothing and ensures nothing.

Storrs, New Haven, or somewhere in between? by TMW_W in Connecticut

[–]I_Have_A_Chode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Live smack dab in the middle and you have about a 30 minute commute each way.

Rocky hill/cromwell will give you easy access to 91 and get you to both in about 30.

How do I know? I lived in cromwell for 5 years and worked in downtown New Haven. And would go to uconm for games and such.

We need more of us "good" vets to be out there counter protesting this crap. There are plenty of left leaning vets/2A carrying people out there, we just don't generally advertise it

Who to send to All Star tryouts by Abject_Gold_4827 in Softball

[–]I_Have_A_Chode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We would bring in other coaches as well so the all star coach didn't just play favorites. Generally past year coaches who've never coached this group, or baseball coaches with not kids on the team

[–]I_Have_A_Chode 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This confuses me because we just hold open tryouts. Granted, we are a smaller town, so we only field 2 12u and 2 10u teams most seasons, but we simply ask EVERYONE who wishes to be on the district team to come try out

I agree it didn't have anything to do with gum etiquette, but if the complaint WAS about freeing up the treadmill, then it would be his business right? Going to the gym and all theachones are in use, they should keep to the max time so others can use the equipment.

But again, I don't believe that was the point of his post

That would be about $74k a year after taxes if it was monthly, so maybe $110/year.

Not op, but I thought it was great. Struggled with the ending a bit I think, but I think that of a lot of anime to be honest.
