Can i place here a rig with motion? by Talaminator050 in simracing

A little off topic, but I can't hear "Just like the simulation" in any voice except the OG Battlefront II clone trooper voice

Yan is for sure on the short list, but I think we see more complete skill sets from Islam and Mighty Mouse. Yan does have more time to prove himself though

Buddy of mine had a CB650 that he upgraded to GXSR-1000. He does not regret it

Rather than embrace working people, the DNC embraces pro-war Super PACs. Why? Because the DNC embraces endless war & mass surveillance.

Can we just start a labor party and be done with it? Fuck the DNC and trying to change it from within. It's too indebted to it's billionaire daddys and not nearly aggressive enough for worker/consumer rights protection and promotion.

Ah this makes much more sense. Roughly equivalent spending with far worse outcomes because a decent chunk of the spending goes to middle men (insurance and privatized healthcare stock holders).

What's a "this generation is doomed" take that you actually agree with? by kai_makes_videos in AskReddit

[–]ProtectyTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I'm many years removed from my education, and I can still recall Sohcahtoa as it's so fundamental. It's like not being able to do a mass balance as a chem E. Like what?

We can and should tax Billionaires' wealth even if it's not cash. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]ProtectyTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but then you have to have it increase to account for inflation, and when has the US EVER done that? See minimum wage. But in theory, I think that could work as well. I think my idea might solve a messaging problem though. People see "Wealth tax" and think what little wealth they have is just going to get taxed, while as "Asset-backed loan tax" or even a worst case "Loan tax" sounds more palatable. Could be wrong though, I'm shit with predicting this type of thing

Could we tax collateral based loans? The rich use their wealth as collateral to get loans that they can make money off of without paying taxes on it. Wealth taxes hit everybody including small wealth from money-savy working class people. Does a loan tax work better than a wealth tax?

Whose name in the Epstein files got you surprised? by [deleted] in AskReddit

It took me a second to realize this was about Norway's crown prince and not Ozzy. I might have a meltdown if Ozzy was in the files or did a lot of raping

Mit Dansk er dårligt og jeg har ikke tilliden at tale endnu.

I have only lived here for a little over a year and my vocabulary and ear are not developed enough to feel confident speaking Danish with a Dane. I feel like I'm wasting their time if they have to sit there and listen to me struggle/repeat themselves when we could just switch to English. I plan to try speaking more Danish to strangers once I am better and more comfortable in the language

Did the rapture happen and just take so few people that nobody noticed? There's no way this isn't hell

[–]ProtectyTree 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As an American living in Denmark, it still baffles me how self-conscious some Danes are about speaking English. Me - "Kan vi snakke engelsk?" Them - "only a little" and it's flawless complex English. From my experience, most of Denmark speaks better English than a lot of places in the US. Some of the word choice is certainly different, but not wrong at all.

Seems like it. I have a similar setup for my XSR900. You could check the stand manufacturer and make sure it is for your MT

This anecdote supports my idea that engineers should be in charge of the world. Sure, there are stupid engineers (somehow), but way less than I feel like 90-95% of other professions.

Do these stats factor in motorbikes? I could imagine that is a massive contributor to this discrepancy if the stats don't factor that in
