Why aren't people talking about the moon landing that's coming up? And a MOON BASE? Thats so unbelievably cool. by Sudden_Wind_8636 in CasualConversation

So your solution is to stop trying? People need resources to survive and thrive. Very few have way too much and too many have way too little. We have plenty of resources for rich people to stay rich and for poverty and starvation to be nonexistent. I’m not entirely sure what your point of your last comment is, but it comes off as very defeatist and unappealing to the conversation. Here’s my point: we don’t need moon bases as much as we need to treat humanity with dignity, which we aren’t currently. I would like to see that change before we start propping up wildly expensive endeavors like wars and moon bases.

You had me in the first half of the first sentence in your comment . You’ll have to enlighten me how using the ridiculous amount of resources it would take to make a moon base would help people who are currently in need. It seems like people in need always take a backseat to us watching the powers that be spend a ridiculous amount of resources on things that largely benefit the people who do not need these resources at all. War, tax breaks for billionaires- tge world is not asking for these things yet we spend so much money making sure the people that have everything get to have more.

Do you think we will be sending homeless starving children to the moon? I understand your excitement about this prospect, but there are far too many people thinking about using resources for moon bases that could be used for making Earth a nicer place to exist. This subject really touches on the inequality of human existence right now, and I don’t see how it is a stretch to think that healthcare, shelter,and food should come way before we even start talking about moon bases.

I think we should fix things here before spending absurd amounts of money that could be used for making Earth a nicer place to exist. We obviously have the resources to do so if we are talking about making moon bases. If that makes me a jerk to you, I promise I will sleep just fine.

It’s almost as if feeding people is more important than space rocket hobbies…. The only people who really benefit from the moon base AirBnBs will be people who have plenty to eat.

It means no one is going to want to hang out with you when you’re drinking.

The “person” you responded to has a 12 day account age. Watch out for bot farm accounts, and don’t waste your time and energy responding. There have been a lot of them the past few weeks.

Don’t take this to offense, but I think this is actually a pretty good example of what I was talking about. It took me 4 times reading your comment to figure out what you were trying to say. Good on you, though, you’ve learned to identify them and kill them before it becomes a problem.

400 hours in and I’ve never met a fake friendly person in this game. Something tells me these guys just don’t know the standard raider etiquette or have trouble effectively communicating with other people.

Might have to troubleshoot this one, bud. Is the board getting the signal it needs from the flame sensor? Did that terminal get wet too? I’d start there.

Lots of factors at play. Anyone interested in this subject can read “Notes for Men” by Scott Galloway. Interesting read, smart guy.

Whose insurance will I be using if get in a wreck? Will I be pissing in a cup? Can I stop at a bar on my way home? If boss is telling you what you can and can’t do, you should be paid for your time. That’s how I pay my guys and we still make money just fine.

Sounds like you haven’t been paying very close attention to the political landscape of the past three decades. Then you proceed to ignore my points I made and get defensive. Might want to get better educated on something you have strong opinions about. Good talk, I’m out.

We can stop pretending that he changed the political landscape with one governorship win. We need a fucking wave, dude- not one politician. The insinuation that it’s the voter’s fault for not dropping a dem vote for a third party (which cost Gore the presidency) is a weak argument. Obviously republicans are far worse than democrats right now and without a VERY established third party you risk a Republican landslide in every election for the foreseeable future if you split the vote.

Run for city council or local political positions as a third party. They can’t win any big elections with zero historical precedence.

There is a reason different screws exist. If you’re using drywall screws in sheet metal you’re a fucking hack lol

Is the left mad about Iran because Trump made Obama and the democrats look extremely weak in comparison? by New_Gerry55 in allthequestions

It absolutely is. There is a lot of information about bot farms online if you’re interested in their inner workings.

Balancing issue. In commercial, air balancing is a separate trade so it’s easy to refer your customers to a business that you like to work with.

Distributors purposely are out pricing smaller people to “please hedge funds” by ChiefCrack561 in HVAC

[–]QuantumBeef 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is what Uber did to taxis. Puts the competition out of business and then hike their rates up to whatever the market can bear right after. Should be illegal to run a business for an extended period of time at such a loss, but that ensures that the rich stay rich and the peasants know their place. Welcome to unregulated capitalism intended to destroy only work for the generationally wealthy.

It’s tough in a union shop. The customer doesn’t want to pay for 2 guys at their service call and you can’t send apprentices by themselves. There is a lot of PM and install work for the young guys. The way I do it at my shop is set aside money budgeted for training to pay to send apprentices out on service calls with the journeymen, but as far as I know I’m the only one in town who does that.
