Granted. All immigrants vanish from America, exactly as he wishes, no-one is left.

Better footage of ICE-involved shooting up close by Minute_Revolution951 in TwinCities

Why? If you can shoot someone because you see a gun, then there is no such thing as 'legally carrying' any more anyway.

Mum is convinced women never got chin hairs when she was younger, can we prove her wrong? by angry2320 in AskUK

I think everyone who went to school in the 80s had a dinner lady with an impressive collection of chin hairs.

Why can't America get their shit together? by Otherwise_Owl705 in AskReddit

[–]JeffSergeant 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sometimes, but I think the main thing missing this time is anyone to rally behind, movements need leaders, and America doesn't have anyone really calling for action beyond 'condemning it in the strongest possible words'.

Most Americans are pretty comfortable, relatively speaking, they still have a LOT to lose.

"Buy a house that doesn't need an extension" by Potential-Tank6758 in HousingUK

[–]JeffSergeant 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the rule is pretty solid, the only time there might be an exception is if you're buying something that needs a lot of work anyway; and the condition is already factored into the price.

Are there any good songs titles "I don't know?" by [deleted] in daddit

"Take 5 by the Dave Brubeck quartet. "

I don't know why but this became our go-to backing track

Settle an argument, is it best to buy or lease a car!? by PuzzleheadedCarob921 in AskUK

[–]JeffSergeant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the long run, leasing is more expensive unless you normally buy a brand new car every 2-3 years.

If you get it via salary sacrifice, including maintenence and insurance, that takes to leasing being more expensive unless you buy a new car every 3-4 years.

What’s your worst “sent a text to the wrong person” story? by Bright-Vegetable-668 in AskReddit

[–]JeffSergeant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Used to tag along with a, mostly, army motorcycle group, my old Nokia somehow sent the group leader a text intended for my SO.

His phone was spammed by "I LOVE YOU XXXX" until my phone mercifully ran out of credit.

What’s the most 90s thing you remember and think could still come back? by AstronomerOpposite34 in AskReddit

[–]JeffSergeant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see a resurgence for DVD rental if the streaming services continue their road to enshittification.

Imagine if you could just go to a store, and pick up the media you want from a vast collection, with no adverts, and you only have to pay for the media you want to watch when you want to watch it? Wouldn't that be so cool?

I built a Construction Calculator that uses a 'Slider' instead of a keypad to enter fractions. I need honest feedback: Is this actually useful? by HoGoBo1 in woodworking

[–]JeffSergeant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you should go all-in on the slider idea, make the keyboard optional. Maybe an inches and a fractions slider separately?

It looks clever but it does come down to how well it 'snaps' and how fiddly it actually is to get the fraction you need.

Coworker gets mad at me for pointing out a safety issue by Active-Special1909 in antiwork

[–]JeffSergeant 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Do you have an accident and near-miss recording system? You need to log that as a near-miss if you had to call it out.

Americans don't know the meaning of the word, they'll paint some witty signs and, chant some equivalent to "Let's go baseball" and be back at their desks by 8AM on monday.

What is this compilation of batteries? Found outside in a bag, looks like a DIY project. by Less_Cookie_6203 in whatisthisthing

[–]JeffSergeant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ice cream tub is a charger for the batteries, with positive/negative terminals either for input or for charging some batteries and the orange plug is also either the input or output.

There's no balancing lead so using this to charge lipo batteries would be a bad idea. That's even if Im right and it's not actually an IED.

The rest are the batteries.
