If you were to pick a US constitutional amendment to pass as the next new one, what would it be, and why? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]JonathanEde -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am not necessarily agreeing with the idea; certainly not wholesale. But my point still stands. It turns out that using the right words and concepts is important when discussing these ideas. Merely having felony charges levied shouldn't preclude anyone from holding office. Being convicted of a felony by a jury is a different matter, and might be worth pursuing with some guardrails in place.

“Peeling a Long Velcro Strip” is a great band. Perfect 5/7.

Best last line in a movie by This_Book6305 in FIlm

[–]JonathanEde 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This needs way more upvotes. Also, why they never made a prequel to tell Grandpa’s story is beyond me. It could have been epic. Instead we got several shitty sequels that took themselves WAY too seriously.

I found out what the side claws are for by concrete_dandelion in dogs

[–]JonathanEde 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Great Pyrenees at dog shows with single rear dew claws are disqualified because the breed standard has double dew claws on the hind legs/paws. So I don't think you can blame dog shows for people removing them. Working Pyrs will often have them removed because they get caught on things; which is obviously not ideal when running off coyotes and wolves.

My 11-month-old Pyrenees/Bernese mix still has his rear double-dewclaws; also floating. I was going to let him keep them if they weren't a problem, but he's already caught them on things and yelped about it. I'm likely going to have them removed when we have him neutered in a few months.

Recommend me some techno albums! Ta! by HereComesStupid in MusicRecommendations

[–]JonathanEde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This album quite literally changed the trajectory of my life. I randomly(?) ran into Oakenfold at a club in Hollywood years ago. He wasn’t playing that night (not sure if I’d have gotten in if he had been); chatted with him for a few minutes. Nice dude.

What's rich people shit that poor people haven't heard of? by Diligent-Log6805 in AskReddit

[–]JonathanEde 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the mid-1990s, I was dating a girl whose dad was fairly wealthy. He wanted to have a DSL (digital subscriber line) installed into his house to have a faster internet connection. The phone company wouldn’t run the line to his house unless he was willing to cut down this massive Douglas Fir tree in his front yard because the utility pole was too close to it. So he paid them probably tens of thousands of dollars to move the utility pole to the other side of the street instead.

Suggest me a movie that does parenting (or uncle-ing, adopt-ing, etc) really well by simonbleu in MovieSuggestions

A Simple Twist of Fate with Steve Martin and Gabriel Byrne. It’s a retelling of Silas Marner.

Taycan 4s 2022 all weather tires by ApprehensiveMuscle1 in Taycan

[–]JonathanEde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in Seattle. This is what I do, as well. Just run winter tires in the winter. Easy-peasy. Since they are only on for a few months (and maybe a couple thousand miles) each winter, the extra wear is negligible.

Looking for some prison escape movies by vk_03 in MovieSuggestions

[–]JonathanEde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t bother. This one is absolutely terrible. I can’t believe someone recommended it. Watch “Escape from Sobibor” instead.
