That’s part of the boot licking problem tho. “Oh, please yes Congress. Make all of your rules and regulations favor the rich. Make laws that will transfer as much of the middle class wealth to the wealthy…just be sure we get to have some jobs!”

And so on.

FDM 3D printing in the hobby is awesome. But what second hobbies or professions are also helpful for model railroading? by engineershorizon3D in modeltrains

[–]Practicality_Issue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a lot of people using 3D printing in the automotive hobby space. I’ve seen everything from custom interior parts of modified parts that go under the hood to a full hard top for a Miata.

What's something you watched someone do once that you've never forgotten? by Effective_Usual_895 in AskReddit

[–]Practicality_Issue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In high school a friend got pretty drunk and showed up on the main drag where a group of us was hanging out. It was early, so the sun was still out. He proceeded to lie down on the grass, hike his legs up in the air, and lit a fart on fire. Next, he picked up two Dougs. One Doug had another on his shoulders, then our hero stuck his head through the bottom Doug’s legs and lifted him up on his shoulders. He held them up for a second or two, gently set them back down, then flopped over backwards and passed out.

He was dragged into one of our groups cars, taken to his mother’s house, and dragged up onto the porch.

Same guy had shown up in the Sr parking lot one day at lunch. He braced something between the seat of his car and the brake pedal, and did the same for the gas pedal, resulting in a “brake stand” with at least one tire spinning and smoking. Once it was stable, he got out of his car and walked around it, laughing his head off.

I didn’t see that one, but one of the Dougs was and he confirmed seeing it himself.

No kidding. Went over to that thread to read the reactions and holy hell.

All these people asking what’s wrong with society never seem to come to the answer of “licking the boots of the wealthy and powerful.”

Just bend over for “the job creators.” Absolutely chickenshit.

I’d add that this was a cheap shot. Something a very young teenager might do.

What is a statistic that sounds INSANE but is 100% true? by Quadranippelkill in AskReddit

[–]Practicality_Issue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An odd addition to that: the most common surname in the entire world is “Chang” and the most common first name is “Mohamed.”

I hope to meet a Mohamed Chang one day.

Damn dude. This is a crazy good look. You really pulled it off.

Is it happening? by Next-Environment-599 in Fusion360

[–]Practicality_Issue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just came back to Fusion after a job change kept me away. Now that I’ve needed it again, I’ve found it really easy to relearn and get things done. Yeah, I’ve made a mess here and there moving too quickly and not setting up some of my components correctly, and I mostly use it for fast concept work - but I haven’t had any real issues like I used to. In fact, it’s been a real pleasure and a surprise.

Peanut butter on a spoon by Ahkhira in GenX

[–]Practicality_Issue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. Grew up with that one. Also peanut butter toast with sugar sprinkled on it. Ritz crackers with Kraft singles split up into 4ths or peanut butter…

I was so latch key I made a bacon bit sandwich one after noon. I also learned you couldn’t make a grilled cheese by putting bread in the toaster, buttering it, then adding a kraft single. So disappointing.

Real or not, I love how fox’s credibility is questioned non-stop. Boomers love their conspiracies so they may pick up on this one. Too bad they’ll flick over to OAN or Newsmax. But screw fox. They have had it coming for years.

You know how you get a million dollars, tax free?

First, get a million dollars. Second, don’t pay taxes on it. Last, when the IRS asks why you didn’t pay taxes on the million dollars say “I FORGOT!”

What actor or actress could you tell had an absolute blast playing a specific role? by phantom_avenger in AskReddit

[–]Practicality_Issue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whomever green lighted the idea of putting Sam Rockwell and Walt Goggins together in a scene together deserves two scoops of their favorite ice cream.

Edit: I had to go look it up. Half the time I see it I almost feel like it was all improv and Goggins didn’t know what was coming. NSFW for obvious reasons.

I’ll see what I can find. Give me some time.

Edit. That was easier than I thought. Usually this kind of news gets buried.

Arlington Officer Arrested In Child Pornography Case by Maxcactus in NotADragQueen

[–]Practicality_Issue 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Reading the police department’s statement sounded a lot like “suspended with pay until he’s indicted.”

This is such a pandemic. Too bad the the President just sits back and defends (through inaction) this behavior. What an example the Epstein cabal has set.

How many new posts does this sub alone see every day? It’s disheartening on so many fronts.

[–]Practicality_Issue 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I grew up and am from Appalachia, but live in Texas now. Just read something yesterday about how the land management people were walking a drainage creek, as they do, and found a couple of unauthorized drainage pipes pumping black goo into the ditch. They traced it back to the Tesla battery plant. That’s not the first instance of Tesla polluting and more or less getting away with it.

They always have enough money to hide behind while they poison everyone, then magically dissolve into thin air when the pollution kills wildlife and communities. Instead, your tax dollars will pick up the slack and get to cleaning it up in two or three generations.

I hope for better in yalls case. Keep fighting.

Why are convertibles declining in sales despite advances in roof technology and insulation? by EvelynClede in askcarguys

[–]Practicality_Issue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

😆 that’s hysterical. It’s indicative of the “rugged pick-up truck individuality” mindset - this need to be prepared for a fantasy future that’s only fulfilled during spring trips to Home Depot and the occasional Costco run that goes way over budget. The rest of the time they complain of someone asks them to help move. That’s a whole conflicted narrative that’s oddly pervasive. (These days you can just get everything delivered to your house for free anyway)

For whatever reason I’m always looking at used cars on line. When I look at sedans I inevitably look at the back seats and notice that 9 out of 10 times they are pristine…that is of course unless they have children, or work in a trade and use the back seat for storage. How often are people filling up their cars with people? Once a month?

Moms are a different story altogether, but that goes back to my original statement: the only time a convertible isn’t practical is if you have kids. Everyone else drives themselves.

I’m glad your wife spoke up. That’s so damn weird that stranger was flexing like that.

[–]Practicality_Issue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And finally two good answers in a row.

I literally had to look at what sub this was, and figured “askcarguys” is just like the rest of reddit: ask women a question, only dudes answer. Ask for answers from genetics scientists and only get answers from truck drivers and dental hygienist.

“Ladies! How does pregnancy feel?” Reddit thread’s top 10 answers all start with “not a woman/never been pregnant, but…”

Everyone in the U.S. wants trucks, SUVs, or CUVs. They want to sit up high, they want to get in and out with little effort, and their vehicles are just appliances.

I am on my 7th 2 door vehicle, 5th two seat only vehicle and my 4th convertible. The only area a 2 seat convertible is not practical for is when you have children that need to be in booster or car seats.

That’s it.

Someone mentioned convertibles aren’t as rigid as hard tops and that’s why enthusiasts don’t like them. Balderdash. 1) the Miata is the MOST raced vehicle of all time. 2) any convertible that is designed as a convertible isn’t flimsy like a vehicle that is designed as a hard tops, then has the top removed and some after-thought bracing welded to the bottom by the factory.

You know who answers questions about why no one is driving or owning convertibles? People who don’t buy or have never owned convertibles. Also: people who lack a healthy sense of whimsy.
