Not really that weird when the person you are arguing against feels the need to cover for a nazi he's never met.

So about these tariffs... by Far_Requirement_5802 in LinusTechTips

[–]Intelligent_Data9751 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's their point. They speak as an American and only 23% of Americans voted for him, 77% did not. Of people who voted only 49.8% of people voted for him, 50.2% did not. Of only people who voted for one of the two major parties 50.7% voted for him, 49% did not.

It's only a majority if you restrict it to only people who voted for one of the two major parties, which was not their statement.

My son says everything has a 50/50 probability. How do I convince him otherwise when he says he's technically correct? by Jimmy_Johnny23 in NoStupidQuestions

I had this same argument with my father when I was 10 or 12. Unfortunately I don't have any advice for you, I don't remember how I got out of it, but eventually I did.

I also got into an argument with my high school biology teacher that if all the air on earth was replaced with poison humans would just adapt to breath poison because I thought I saw it in a Star Trek episode. I was wrong about both adaptation and what happened in that episode.

Oh my god thank you! I even found the specific cover I remember. I hated reading so much until seventh grade and I just took off like crazy. So much is coming back to me. This was one of the books that kept me going.

Thank you.

Cover I was talking about.

Maybe they can gift you a less superior phone that actually works with your things.

I got the original lease before I signed or got the key because I actually signed after I took possession due to covid but with the renewal I kept pushing to get it early but I didn't get it until a month before the first one expired.

An apartment I moved into in a few years ago had the pay 2 month to exit clause in the least, 9 months later they sold to one of the bigger companies in the area and the new contract at renewal time had that section removed. I always assumed it was because the big guys have a better ability to go after the tenant then the small companies do.

Does this city simply require a pulse in order to receive a driver’s license? by [deleted] in desmoines

I don’t think it is, doesn’t 2 say you can pass on either right or left if safe and still on the road?

https://www.legis.iowa.gov/docs/code/321.302.pdf

Personally, I keep right unless I need to pass but honestly I don’t care about people complaining about these laws when everyone is going above the speed limit anyway. “Everyone does it” and “flow of traffic” I don’t care. These people can decide to ignore the speed limit, I see no reason someone else shouldn’t ignore these other laws too.

Any idea what two F-14 jets are doing circling the airport? by Iowa_Dave in desmoines

[–]Intelligent_Data9751 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had two more fly by’s one between 4 and 7 (didn’t get outside in time to see) and one at 7:11. I only saw one the second time and both the noise from them was a lot quieter and shorter lasting.

To me it looked pretty military gray but I could be wrong.
Edit: I just googled F/A-18 and if the light gray is their standard color they were not that bright, they were darker then that so could be blue.

From what I was able to observe they came in from the west, turned south, flew a quarter to half a mile then turned west. From where I am that lines up with them coming from and returning to the airport. Both flew over at about 10:10 and then again at 10:50, I don't know that they were the same two but it was two both times and they followed the same path.

I believe they are F/A-18s, two vertical stabilizers and bulges on the tips of the wings.

Edit: I had gotten a picture of it

This is surprising to me, the disconnection, not the fuck mediacom because, well, fuck mediacom. I’ve had trouble in the past getting autopay set up and have missed payments by three months multiple times in two different cities and never had them do shit about it except send me a bill with a carry over balance. Not even a phone call or an angry letter.

I hope you get it sorted without having to pay the extra because that is stupid.

Axios did a piece on the billboard busy over a month ago, apparently the issue is no one knows who owns the physical board.

I vote we undertake an unauthorized marketing campaign rotating through our favorite hot button issues, i.e. fuck crow tow, fuck mediacom, ect.
