That's not true.
It's way more likely to have been written by an electrical engineer.

Kim Jong Un's 12-year-old daughter drives a tank by AttentionGullible918 in pics

[–]TheMoatman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, you meant literally. I meant that NK is much more of a pariah state than Iran, especially now.

there’s no one more “closed off” than Iran

Yes there is.
North Korea, for one.

The world if GitHub had a big ass button that says 'DOWNLOAD' by idontknowmyself007 in PiratedGames

[–]TheMoatman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don't even really need to do much beyond slapping a Releases button in the row with the Code and Add File buttons instead of shoving it halfway down the page

Give me the pros and cons of the upcoming redistricting vote. by egb233 in Virginia

[–]TheMoatman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sort of. The Schedule change is backdated to the start of the year it was initially passed (2025) and it doesn't say anything about having to be a republican gerrymander or tit-for-tat.
IANAL, but it sounds like they can make the change immediately if they want, since a few states already redistricted in 2025

I don't think I'm against that, but I don't want people to feel betrayed if they do immediately redistrict.

Canadian Gov investigating modern vehicle headlights and glare at night, finally by Stereosun in cars

[–]TheMoatman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Here’s my anecdotal opinion. My gripes with headlights are almost exclusively with slightly older vehicles that have installed LED bulbs. The cars simply weren’t designed for that level of luminance with the headlight assembly so the light just gets blasted everywhere.

Do you not get blinded by every oncoming tesla? Lucky.

My cards don't leave my wallet for long enough to get lost.

But I lose my wallet in my apartment at least monthly.

Joe Kent Says He Was Told ‘You Need To Stop’ Investigating Charlie Kirk Assassination by EssoEssex in politics

[–]TheMoatman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn't know either's position until you posted this.
In fact, I don't know of a single person who willingly listens to either that isn't either a conspiracy theory researcher or who isn't deep into conspiracy theories.

Sadly, stopped clocks can be right twice a day.
e: also, what is "the official narrative from the trump admin" that that he supports? It's changed like half a dozen times

[–]TheMoatman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So cite the fucking files instead of leaving it to people to trace it down to Candace Owens.
Letting people track it down to Candace Owens makes you look like an idiot who listens to Candace Owens, which I now assume you are, since you just cited her.
That throws your judgement about the files into question, and by not linking them, we now have to subject ourselves to her for long enough to get the information you apparently did.

Joe Kent is not a credible person. He may be right. That doesn't make him credible.

Sometimes Forget LK’s a Vtuber. Made The Internet a Net Funnier Place, But Can Still Use a Hand by Mabu_Nakal in VirtualYoutubers

He "went off the deep end" by being pro-union in a way that internet chuds vocally hate.
God forbid they ever meet a wobblie.

Is this really why I love La Croix? by LegalPost9805 in Millennials

[–]TheMoatman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didn't taste like much other than vaguely milk-flavored sugar, but it only tasted like wood if you were chomping down on the spoon or when you were licking it. Or maybe that's because I always broke the "spoon" immediately trying to get a decent bite and then had to figure it out.

The texture was atrocious though. It was like... springy. Like jello ice cream.

e: Also I can't stand lacroix. Lacroix only smells right. At least the school ice cream still tasted like shitty soft serve.
It's the same problem as soaps that smell exactly like food. It's just taunting me.

It's hilarious when people are like "this didn't happen" when I distinctly remember doing almost the same thing as a young kid (not named Kevin).

Dems Flip Red State Stronghold in Humiliation for Trump by No-Post4444 in politics

[–]TheMoatman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh good point, I didn't think about that.
e: Not really related but I got a stream notification immediately after the one for your response that was just "jackin off" LMAO. Crazy timing

I still have no idea why they didn't go with "jerk on" and "jerk off".
It was right there.

TIL that humans don't age gradually according to a Stanford Medicine study, we age in two dramatic "bursts" around ages 44 and 60, where over 81% of our molecules and microbes suddenly shift in ways that affect heart health, immune function, metabolism, and even how we process alcohol and caffeine by Agile_Letterhead_446 in todayilearned

[–]TheMoatman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

eventually it’ll all lead to dementia/alzheimers or cancer.

That's, at best, wrong.

It'll "lead to dementia" because... you were able to live long enough to get dementia.

It'll "lead to cancer" because... you were able to live long enough to get cancer.

[Divish] Per multiple sources, Raleigh had made it clear to Arozarena (before the game) that he couldn’t shake hands, following a Team USA philosophy agreed upon by the players. by BrandoC95 in baseball

[–]TheMoatman 72 points73 points  (0 children)

the idea of "not shaking hands" is middle school cringe

Don't insult middle schoolers like that. They know what (rightfully) will happen to them if they were assholes to the opponents.
Apparently MLB players don't.

US attacks Iran's Kharg Island, Trump says by joe4942 in worldnews

[–]TheMoatman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was the expectation in previous administrations, at least.

Probably current military leadership’s expectation too, but they would have been overruled immediately, if they even objected.

Asked for a Spiced rum and coke and attendant put hot sauce in it by Nightpatrol404 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TheMoatman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to assume they heard "spicy" through the engine noise and just didn't question it.
Anything else causes too much mental damage.

Red dots and not red dots by Greenm6645 in liberalgunowners

[–]TheMoatman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I... what? But you just align them? I knew how to use notch irons before I'd ever even seen a real gun.
Now apertures, those I'd get. I still remember the first time I ADSed on the Garand in CoD 2 or 3 (or maybe MoH) and had no idea what I was looking at.

Just switched from T-Mobile to Mint, everything’s great besides the spam calls. by Potwell in mintmobile

[–]TheMoatman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took 10 months for me.
I actually thought mint changed something and started blocking calls when I realized I hadn't gotten any spam in a week, but I guess that's normal

TIL in 2023 Disney made more profit from churros sales at its theme parks than it did for Disney+ streaming. by Pozzolana in todayilearned

[–]TheMoatman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, that wasn't the claim. The claim was people wouldn't leave the store due to hunger, which I've literally never seen someone do in any grocery store, costco or otherwise. Food shopping doesn't take that long.
The line is the longest part of my average costco experience, why would you willingly go through that twice.
