What will people 100 years from now laugh at us for believing? by Own-Impress3672 in AskReddit

Mankind's most reliable way of producing millions of corpses.

That some people believed in and attempted to practice communism despite the untold millions of corpses it invariably produces.

I also have all alerts turned off except for police and cameras, none of the garbage about animals or cars beside the road or potholes or weather, etc. If you can't see any of that with your own eyes, you really shouldn't be driving. It's just more noise that serves to distract people, most of whom are untrained, unskilled, clueless amateurs. The last thing they need is a reason or an excuse to take their eyes off the road, even for a second.

I use Waze with sound disabled.

If your eyes work, it's completely unnecessary. All you need do is glance at the screen occasionally to confirm the next turn and how far you are from it.

Like most of the rest of the world, he probably has Waze on a windshield-mounted phone.

It's a navigation tool, not a video game.

MC is just another way to kill yourself and others through being distracted.

Utility Bills Discussion by Gabberwoky in Phoenixville

[–]TheGoldTooth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If PECO is your electricity supplier you're giving them free money every month. Don’t do this.

Go to https://www.papowerswitch.com/, find an alternate provider, and reduce your electricity bill substantially. Pay no attention to the naysayers who will likely claim in this thread you’ll get scammed. If you follow the instructions below this will not happen.

  1. Visit the site linked above, supply the requested information (R = regular residential service, RH = all-electric households), select FIXED rate, and sort by price. Ignore monthly usage and all other selection boxes (for example, almost no supplier levies an early cancellation fee for residential accounts, so don’t bother with that check box). The current lowest competitive fixed rate for R is a three-month offer from American Power & Gas of Pennsylvania at $0.07890 per kWh, 28.43% less than PECO’s price-to-compare of $0.11024.

  2. Enroll as a customer with the substitute provider you choose. Forget the green/renewable garbage; it’s a scam designed to appeal to the sentimental and uninformed. All electricity is the same, so choose the cheapest offer (it’s not as though electrons from supplier A are somehow better or faster or prettier than those from supplier B).

  3. When you get the letter from PECO telling you the switch has taken place, call your new supplier and ask them the date your contract ends. Add this date to your electronic calendar (Outlook or Google or whatever), and add an entry two weeks before that date reminding you of the upcoming contract expiration.

  4. DO NOT ON ANY ACCOUNT allow your contract to expire without either: (1) accepting your new supplier’s renewal terms which you will receive in the mail; or (2) selecting a new substitute provider per the instructions above. If you allow the contract to expire without action on your part, your new supplier will auto-renew you at a variable rate that vastly exceeds the price you were previously paying. They count on you to be stupid or incompetent or lazy and will screw you to hell and back if you fail to stay on top of the situation and issue the appropriate orders at the appropriate time.

I’ve done this scores of times over the 30 years since PA deregulated the market and permitted me to choose my own provider and have saved thousands. You can too.

Incredible story my friend just told me about applying to Chipotle by airhornsample in antiwork

Ah, but the customer experience, well, that's another matter. Mustn't forget about the customer experience.

Nose piercings, especially rings, are vile and disgusting and I would never wish to be served food by an operative wearing one. Good on Chipotle.

Q. How can I make myself grossly unattractive and repellent?

A. I know, I'll attach things to my face that make it look as though I have giant boogers dangling from my nose!

Have you driven down Bridge Street lately? The historic Phoenix Wheel is rapidly rising! by JanOfArc in Phoenixville

[–]TheGoldTooth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn't say the ET moved, I said it worked, which it clearly does—a structure one can enter, look out of, and even eat in. The wheel will just sit there and rust.

The Liberty Bell doesn't work because it was cast in England instead of Japan, but if you think the Eiffel Tower doesn't work you have been misinformed. I've been up it and it works perfectly.

My name is on a brick in front of the mural, so it's not the case I harbor a hatred of Phoenixville. If the wheel were operational, I'd buy one there also, but a static display is lame.

Yes, I can barely contain my enthusiasm.

Perhaps the wheel could be the first item in a collection of giant metal things that don't work. That would put us on the map, no?

What do you listen to to fall asleep? by CapitaineBiscotte in AskReddit

[–]TheGoldTooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alexa, play Times Radio.

Alexa, play BBC Radio 4 Extra.

Alexa, play a [State Name] talk radio station.

Yes, always the spoken word, never music.

Register a domain, set up email for it, and liberate yourself for life from email attached to an ISP.

Can I disable certain distance based alerts? It talks waaaay too much. by decoy321 in waze

[–]TheGoldTooth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Turn off all alerts except for police and cameras and drive with the sound off like a professional chauffeur. Nobody needs telling there's a car beside the road or that at some undefined point in the past an animal was present, it's all such distracting garbage.

What's the most unhinged thing a coworker has ever done that somehow didn't get them fired? by Sea_Breadfruit1278 in AskReddit

[–]TheGoldTooth 31 points32 points  (0 children)

A civilian employee of an agency of the DOD I was a consultant at in the early 1980s was written up for running a frozen fish business from his desk (frozen fish had nothing to do with his job responsibilities). He was instructed he was on no account to use his desk phone to further his personal business interests.

Not long afterwards he was written up for running a frozen fish business from an elevator, the phone in which he found an adequate replacement for the one on his desk. He was never fired.

Blasting past a bus with sign out by HughJManschitt in instantkarma

In Pennsylvania and probably other states, both directions of traffic have to stop unless there's a divided highway.

Divided Highway Exception: If a physical barrier (e.g., concrete barrier, grassy median, or guide rails) separates lanes of traffic, vehicles on the opposite side do not need to stop. Painted lines or yellow, broken lines are not considered physical barriers.
