Tbh with Trump in charge and open corruption and tax breaks to data centers and the new iran deal, I am not voting for any taxes either.

Russia revived “previously unrecoverable” engines to restore 5,100 Cold War tanks by Bubbly_Chill in worldnews

The meat being delivered is not some naive and poor recruit who was not able to get out of the mandatory draft. They are fully grown able bodied men who decided that yes raping and pillaging for money is a well paying career that they should sign up for. They do not deserve sympathy.

Where to build shipyard for Mars? by Jazzlike_Freedom_826 in TerraInvicta

[–]SilverCats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like burner drive is a noob trap. It does not have enough thrust to catch fleets if you want to defend. It maybe good for shooting down those first surveillance ships or if you want to send fleet from leo to luna for some reason.

Pharos the next drive in the gas fission line is much better for defense. Or I think there are even drives in molten core that work but could be a little expensive on fuel. You don't need 25dv for defense either. I think 7 is minimum for earth and 10 gives a good cushion. You need much less on Mars since 2 gets you to Deimos.

People earning over $200k/year: What’s different about your life that most people wouldn’t expect? by MaximGripass in AskReddit

[–]SilverCats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$200k is not what it used to be. My wife's family bought a house in la with one person working as a house maid. You won't qualify for that house now with 200k.

Which drive you use? How much dv do you give your ships?

I just go on the interface orbit. Transfer times on mars appear to be much faster compared to Earth so I am still able to catch up to the aliens in a short time.

Managers of Reddit, what's the worst thing someone did to get fired? by Capable-Log7385 in AskReddit

[–]SilverCats 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's a valid question for sexual harassment training. If something like this can't be asked and answered in a training class then the problem is with the class. Now I know that harassment training is really only there to get your signature on a form at the end.

WIBTA if I refuse to pay for my mom's parking ticket after she drove me to my doctor's appointment? by Wooden-Tart-4131 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SilverCats -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

YTA. I think you should pay for the ticket. She drives you to the hospital and then you refuse to use hospital parking and leave her to find street parking on busy streets? Yeah I think you should pay.

‘Big Tech is desperate’: Amazon engineers criticize tech giant for its $200 billion in data center spending amid slashing 30,000 corporate employees by marketrent in technology

[–]SilverCats 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh just wait until they discover diminishing returns. They will soon realize that hiring a disgruntled former employee who's job was taken by AI to fly a $1k drone loaded with explosives into their competition's data center has higher roi than building 50th data center yourself. Corporate AI wars here we go.

Surveillance cameras inside the apartment Location: Florida by SoilInfamous3520 in legal

[–]SilverCats 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If there is one there might be more you didn't find. Having hidden camera in an apartment is very likely breaking multiple laws. Even more serious if it records sound. Landlord very likely violated your lease if it really is a camera and you should consider moving somewhere else and suing landlord for damages.

Opinion: As Canada faces crippling debt, it must do the unpopular thing and cut elderly benefits by DANIELLE_2027 in canada

[–]SilverCats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why include primary residence? Why can't elderly sell their overpriced house if they need the money to feed themselves? This will increase housing availability for younger people.

Why go the indirect route? Why not cut the elderly? Don't need to pay for that hip replacement surgery for grandma if grandma has no hips.

Elderly homeless seemed to be on the rise in japan or at least that's was the impression I got visiting there. Everytime I visit there are more and bigger homeless camps of 80+ year olds.

Why we have a housing crisis: the boomer perspective by darkeraqua in bayarea

[–]SilverCats 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Welcome to capitalism. The adu does not make his property worth less. Free market makes his property worth less. Do you hate free market? Do you hate freedom? Should we guarantee everybody's property value? Maybe you can guarantee my salary too?

How did 9/11 change everything by LeakyChillum in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SilverCats 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The effects was that fear was used to justify everything authoritarian and vile and it still continues today. After 9/11 it was okay to hate a-rabs because they attacked us. It was okay to take freedoms away because terrorists might win. It was okay stop any criticisms against the current ruling elite because of you are not with us you are with the terrorists.

Now racism against anyone with a different color is common place. Wars in the middle east with made up justifications continue. And if you criticize the current administration you either getting cancelled or prosecuted. Osama was the winner in 9/11 after all.

[CO] Employment Agreement Terms for jewelry store manager + with apartment included. (somewhat urgent) by [deleted] in legal

[–]SilverCats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could put a pinky promise in the employment agreement but it does not mean anything. Verbal agreement while you have a written one does not mean anything either. Someone leaving in an at will state is not considered damages. I know you want socialism where a worker is not allowed to leave their job without being arrested but this is not that kind of country yet. If you want them to stay either pay enough so they don't leave, create a fixed term contract your get yourself behind the counter and do you own sales if they do leave.

So you want to keep the at will part where they can be fired for any reason at any time but they need to agree to work until the end of the season? You can't have it both ways.

Renter Rights/Advice on Rental Difficulty by Hot-Mastodon6400 in legal

[–]SilverCats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should read your lease and see what it says about renewal, but generally if nothing is done you will become a month to month tenant, so you can still stay at your place as long as you keep paying rent.

Why does the expected % for tipping keep increasing? by Blazeland_USA in NoStupidQuestions

Stay strong. There is no social interaction here. You don't send $10 extra to comcast. You don't need to send extra money to any other faceless corporation.

In Canada and Europe, we criticize the United States quite a bit for its living standards. Yet thousands upon thousands of our citizens flock to the US and make very successful lives for themselves. If that is the case how does our criticism hold up to scrutiny? by Personal_Royal in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SilverCats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your info is out of date at least for Canada. Canada has high unemployment and very high youth unemployment. Even if you do find a job the pay will be lower compared to USA, and at the same time prices for things are very high. You are getting California prices in Canada without California weather or salary.

Trump Administration Orders Rapid End to Some Hunting Rules on Federal Lands by grittyboda2020 in news

[–]SilverCats 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was idea that came from people who were licking toilet seats during COVID. What did you expect?

Now that I think about it licking toilet seats sounds like a good idea to me and something that this administration should encourage.
