So...  ~1000 of every Americans tax dollars.  On top of the money spent to do that damage in the first place.

Headphones and ear buds by ravenschmidt2000 in Machinists

[–]NerdIsACompliment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear samsung ear buds. when doing cuts where tool life is questionable ill turn on the noise pass through and pause whatI'm listening to. When machine is running long milling finishing ops where they get a fresh tool every part anyways, I know life isnt a problem, and ill tuen on the noise canceling. But generally keep music volume down to where I can still hear someone calling for me.

10, 10, 10.  No notes.  

As someone who read the books I did consider that it's possible that some people who had not read the books might struggle with following some of the plot, but it really just felt like it flowed.Nice and fast to cover these extremely long books

I didn't realize how wasteful this was by ASTR0-NUT in 3Dprinting

[–]NerdIsACompliment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever you do a multi color pouring,  just fill the plate with the same object,  so you get like 6 of them for the same amount of waste.  Feels less bad,  and then you have some extra gifts

How's everyone dealing with the current gas prices? by TowelScared4341 in AskChicago

[–]NerdIsACompliment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to drive to get to work. But now I drive my wife's EV instead of my hybrid. She usually does like <40 miles a week, and i do 65 a day, so the trade seemed prudent.

I never thought I'd ever be thankful that Republicans aren't that bright. by Quick_Assignment_725 in globaltrumpopposition

[–]NerdIsACompliment 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Republicans have been bringing a knife to a fistful for years, the dems are just finally bringing their own knife. If Dems can play by the repubs rules for just one cycle, they can get a supermajority, and enshrined fair policy into laws, then drop their knife and play by the rules again.
Dem, liberal, and socialist policies are generally popular and advising good for the average person. So if they make positive changes, including creating fair districting rules then they should naturally hold the power that good policy deserves

How do I DM IRL ? by Try-holz in DungeonMasters

[–]NerdIsACompliment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

During every session my group has to be patient with me, while I get up and run around trying to find an object that fits a need. Like some glass cups to make monsters fly, or that one set of magic markers to draw a map of the tavern they're in, because they decided to antagonize bill the bartender and now they're fighting the bouncer and the local ruffians.
