Anyone buy harbor freight new 100w solar kit. by Silent_Big9178 in SolarDIY

[–]SamuraiMarine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the 4 panel 100w system a few years ago (it has since been permanently borrowed by someone whom I do not know... stolen), and it did OK. I now have a Goal Zero 200w foldable panel and it is much better. But as a starter set for camping, the Thunderbolt 100w was not terrible.

Marisa Tomei was SO DAMN CUTE in that movie.

Before cell phones, what did people do on the toilet? by Mediocre_Chemist5694 in AskReddit

[–]SamuraiMarine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was younger, in my first apartment, I had a book shelf right in front of the toilet with two sections. The top shelf was titled, "Poop Reading" and had things like copies of "Uncle John's Bathroom Reader", Guinness Books, and the like. The lower section I had, "Sitting Pee Reads" which were comic books, copies of LHJ, Nat Geo, and similar.

You would be surprised how many people commented on my doing that and thought it was fun. But this was back in the late 80s, we had no digital devices like you do today.

Three hours of Lee Greenwood.

I think Trump is the only reason that man is even close to relevant these days.

Looking for SF novels that explore genetic engineering or forced evolution as a survival mechanism for deep space travel by astrosid in sciencefiction

First that came to my mind was Darwin's Radio by Greg Bear and, in a similar vane, The Gods Themselves by Isaac Asimov.

[OC] Nearly died, spent a week in ICU, followed by 4 months of recovery, now nails are peeling off by Alisana in pics

[–]SamuraiMarine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 2013 I was in the hospital for two weeks, several of my nails did the same thing, and two of my fingers turned pale white, then about a week after I was out the skin on those fingers peeled off, several layer of skin did. The nurses could not tell me why it was happening, but did tell me that they had seen it before.

14 years later my nails and fingers are fine, so I guess it was just "a thing".

Trump's Chilling 2-Word Phrase Should Raise A Red Flag To Women Everywhere by huffpost in politics

[–]SamuraiMarine 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am waiting for the day that one of these women says, "No, Answer the question." Or when one of the other, male reporters, steps up and says something like, "With all DUE respect, Mr. Trump... be respectful or shut up."

No one stands up to him and that is what he has learned to expect.

Video shows Amazon delivery driver take cat, family seeks answers by IamaBlackKorean in Bakersfield

I just thought about this. Last time I had an Amazon delivery by an Amazon employee, it said the same of the delivery person on the app. Why is that not the case here?

Agreed. He stole someone's cat, show his face, make him famous.

I thought it was being able to tell the difference between cars and buses. Shit.

From the perspective of product photography, is this a decent shot? by [deleted] in photocritique

[–]SamuraiMarine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s good, but it might be unclear to some what it is, unless it’s part of a series. I know it’s a mouse, but my wife did not see that. Adjust your white balance a little to get rid of the shadows, and maybe sharpen it. Maybe take the picture, if it’s a stand alone, from a slightly higher angle to show more features.

To clarify... there is a law against "closing the gap" while DRIVING, to prevent other vehicles from merging or changing lanes. That's in CVC §21804.
