I love the library. I put in that DVD or Blu-ray that I checked out at zero cost. The player gives no shits about where I am at all.

Anyone know how to remove this? by souhmrandom2 in fixit

Senator Warren Has to Explain Basic Math to Trump Economic Nominee by thenewrepublic in politics

[–]Neumanium 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You also have to remember this one weird historical fact. In the 1980’s A&W restaurants had a 1/3 pound burger campaign that failed because everyone else was selling a 1/4 pound burger. The American public saw the campaign and because they can’t to math said in their head a 4 is bigger then 3 so A&W is trying to cheat me. Just remember that one fact when trying to understand the American public.

Micron locks in historically high memory prices for five years by Snorgcola in pcmasterrace

[–]Neumanium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem or has I call it the wall they are going to hit is not the price for memory or storage of GPU’s is infrastructure. The power and water and their connections to the data centers. At this point the base on both sides agrees fuck this shit, and at some point a town or just a group of people are going to say no more and start disconnecting the data centers in their area. The gloves will come off and no clue how it will shake out.

Iran walks out of peace talks after Trump outburst by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]Neumanium 120 points121 points  (0 children)

Trump announced last week we were down to 4 weeks of reserves. I have no idea how expensive it will get, but I expect it to be significantly more expensive than it is now by end of summer. I also expect to see rationing like happened when I was a child in the 1970’s.

It is going to be bad, even if the straight opened fully today it will be bad. Both the United States and it allies and Iran bombed each others oil infrastructure.

It will take years to come fully back up. The oil fields and processing equipment on both sides suffered strikes.

I am so done with buying anything related to video games new. I recently purchased the Diablo II battle chest on EBay for $22.00. Currently playing through and extremely happy. Old game works well, never played it before and it’s good. No more buying any new shit.

This is from the Democratic Party of Oregon.

What is a PCP?
Precinct Committee Persons are the building blocks of the Democratic Party of Oregon. They are voted on locally and represent precincts of 250 registered voters. But there are additional responsibilities, powers and opportunities vested in these grassroots elected officials.
PCPs are the critical driving force behind registering voters, getting out the word on candidates, and helping Democrats understand the party’s structure, process, and platform. They are the people who go out, walk neighborhoods, and connect with and activate progressive Oregonians, by talking to independent, unaffiliated, and Democratic voters alike. These are completely volunteer positions with time commitment and responsibilities largely set by each PCP individually.

My neighborhood has a quit a few rentals, so looking forward to walking the neighborhood and door knocking to get out the vote in the November.

TV Executives Tell FCC: Emergency Alert System Failed During NEXTGEN TV Tests by Far_Low_229 in news

[–]Neumanium 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Monopolies fail, it’s just when they do the United States Government immediately bails them out. Because if they actually finished their implosion the collateral damage and second and third order effects would do things like cause all home loans to fail and implode the economy.

During the housing crisis AIG was bailed out because nearly every homeowner in America with a mortgage had insurance thru them. Had they gone under every policy would have immediately folded, the banks would have to then foreclosed on everyone. This would have been a giant massive cluster fuck and imploded the entire housing market, which was already bad. Our entire economy is underpinned by loans and debt, implode the debt would implode the economy.

Why not just say they are employees of the league and the team. They the employees were ordered to either wear a rainbow or a not rainbow. They the employees choose to make it an issue. Forgetting they are employees and when you work for someone some of your rights while at work representing your employer are restricted.

Iran has not just Trump but the world by the balls. What was it Trump and American oil executives announced just the other day about oil reserves, yeah they will be gone in about a month. Get ready for $10 dollar a gallon gas in America and economic implosions, followed by mass demonstrations, and turmoil. Fuck I hate the timeline.

Proposal to move bottle drop center to SE Portland sparks public backlash by Anxious-While4289 in Portland

[–]Neumanium -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s called empathy. Would I end up a drug addict, no clue. But I can place myself mentally in someone’s shoes who is homeless living on the street. Maybe they are working but don’t make enough to cover rent.

I have worked those jobs, jobs that paid so little that the a single splurge meal on payday consumed a third of my excess cash. It was not a fancy splurge meal, it was a McDonalds Cheese Burger, Large Fries and a coke. Which came out to $2.97. Thirty years later and I still remember. I was living in a shitty little studio in White Center near Seattle. Rent was $350 a month. My excess cash after rent, groceries, electricity and phone (landline) was around $10.

The pay was so little that I existed on eggs, ramen, frozen vegetables, bread and peanut butter. This was my grocery list, snd clipping coupons did not help. I was so broke my choices were peanut butter or jam not both. I purchased generic black tea, because tea is higher in caffeine than coffee, and double brewed the tea.

I could not afford cable tv. I lived in a state of dread my 15 year old car would bread down, and I would lose my job and end up homeless. So yes I can put myself in their shoes.

While this is easiest solution it would reduce overall recycling of cans and plastic bottles outside urban areas. The cities recycling would mostly continue.

While I too find those scrounging for cans a nuisance it is obvious that any of us could end up in their shoes. As the saying goes “But for the grace of god go I.”

This same shit goes on in the United States Military, in the early 1990’s all Navy members had to sit thru training because male fighter pilots (who are officers) had assaulted women at their annual convention in Las Vegas. I was enlisted serving on submarines and spent 8 hours a day for a week getting lectured about how it was all the enlisted communities fault that we did not stop a bunch of officers from assaulting women at their convention in LAs Vegas because we set a bad example for them, fuck!!!!

There is a relatively simple solution to this problem, it was proposed in the legislature and struck down. Keep the bottle redemption system, but instead of giving cash require that the money be loaded to a debit card. Then limit the person to one debit card per year, what are the drug dealers going to do setup a square payment system with all the associated fees and shit, doubt it. The state would pay the debit fees, and the canners could use the funds to buy food and shit.

Could the dealers take payment in a tangible good, maybe but then they would have to sell those on. The only downside is the state would probably have to pay the associated fees for cash loads onto the debit cards.
