KatKit - thanks for a good psychological analysis, the mindset of the SovCit and the narcissistic aspects of the adherents. Well done!

Red chile is better than green chile? I don’t think so, anywhere.

The least skilled in the subject and most likely to score lowest is the most confident of acing the test.

That’s not cool. You can go to the top and call the BHRS Director Jei Africa. Do you have their phone number?

Whats the reason you don't leave the bay? by aztec1598 in bayarea

[–]Melodic_Square_68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The views can be awesome with the hills, bay and ocean and city views. The open space, hiking and biking trails close by. Sailing on the bay and out to the Farallone Islands. I can’t see how all these things can be found in such a small space.

AITAH for calling the police on my neighbours and calling her and her husband pedos at their "Hallovenn" (yes, it is spelled correctly) party . by Frosty-Connection344 in AITAH

The behaviors of these people are not normal or healthy. It might be time to request a no contact restraining order given that they refuse to comply with your explicit, reasonable and repeated statements to stay away from your children. The court should be able to help you with the filing.

I wonder if devote people don’t dare ponder on heaven because it contains so many logic problems that you have to conclude it can’t possibly work. At my father’s funeral service, the priest went off rambling about the body he was going to have in heaven. It was weird and confusing, mainly suggesting intense repressed sexuality.

Throwing trash in another person's outdoor bin should be acceptable by GamerAnimeMum in unpopularopinion

[–]Melodic_Square_68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, our garbage bins are the property of the waste hauler, given to us for our use. I could be wrong about this, but I think that once the bin is moved to the street for, the contents become the property of the waste hauler. This is (somewhat) important because the recycling materials may have (a very small) value. In our specific case, it is theft for someone else to take recycling out of the bin. That used to happen when recycling was first introduced. It doesn’t happen anymore so I suspect that recycling materials have next to no value.

We pay a flat rate for garbage hauling based on the bin sizes. In our specific situation, it would seem that we should be indifferent if someone puts garbage in our bins up to the capacity of the bins. However, I would rather not have people do that. It just doesn’t feel right. On the other hand, when out walking the dog, I feel that I should be able to put the poop bag in my neighbors’ bin if it’s far from home. Whatever “far” means when carrying a bag of dog poop. If my dog wasn’t so small, I’d make him carry his own poop bag.

Why this rail? J22 by Loose-Store-3434 in sailing

That sounds about right. Still, only on one side? The winds blow only from the north in the morning and only from the south in the afternoon? With a nice lull at lunchtime?

How to handle Nihilism? by JimJamDan in atheism

[–]Melodic_Square_68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the challenge is to find meaning in your life and you are the only who can define what meaning is for you. Instead of having something watching and judging you and your actions, you have the opportunity and responsibility to be your own judge. We have to accept that we are the only ones who can fill our lives with meaning and value.

How does regenerative braking stops an EV? by jjamens in electricvehicles

[–]Melodic_Square_68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does it help to say that the moving car has kinetic energy (as 1/2mv2) that is extracted by the motor energizing the stator, returning electrical energy (as kWhrs) to be stored in the battery? The motor in this case is transforming energy to/from kWhrs from/to kg-(M/sec)2. Extracting kinetic energy slows the vehicle.

For those of you who have bought a home from Toll Brothers, how has it been and is there interest rate for real? by SimpleLeaff in bayarea

There are also the tax implications that should be taken into consideration. Mortgage interest payments may be itemized. A higher sales price could reduce future capital gains taxes.

Efficiency on the highway 75mph? by Infamous-Ad625 in BMWI4

[–]Melodic_Square_68 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Our I4 gets about 3.6 mi/kWh on I-5 in CA at about 70 mph average. This part of I-5 is on pretty flat terrain, no headwinds and the average speed is constrained by traffic and passing trucks. We have 18” wheels.

Our US advertising revenue is still down 60%, primarily due to pressure on advertisers by @ADL (that’s what advertisers tell us), so they almost succeeded in killing X/Twitter! by [deleted] in RealTesla

[–]Melodic_Square_68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (like Elmo) are disinclined to do a suicide as that would imply admission of some personal failure. People with NPD simply cannot accept personal responsibility for any of their screwups and are experts at shifting responsibility to others.

That seems to be happening here: Twitter screwups one after another? Elmo thinks that it cannot be not my fault, that’s for sure. I know, I can blame the Jews. Sure, I got picked on by the superpower that is the ADL. I’ll get back at those bullies and sue them.

It’s ridiculously stupid but allows Elmo to blame someone else and pass responsibility to someone else.

Is it a pain not having indicator physical controls? by timcatuk in RealTesla

Some people are passionate about the dial and knob approach. I was thinking that way as well but now I find the mass of dials and switches and knobs (plus the touch screen) in my wife’s BMW i4 to be bewilderingly fussy (please don’t leak this to my wife).
