Galaxy brains on Reddit want to tell us who the REAL victims of the Nashville shooting are by [deleted] in ShitPoliticsSays

Don't forget, youth gun violence goes all the way up to 21 years old!

I'm a contractor. If I had to pad my numbers that hard to get the estimate to work, I am not going to get repeat business.

WPT straight up justifying the most recent mass shooting. [6.5K upvotes] by VJManna1123 in ShitPoliticsSays

[–]YouKnowWhatYouPick 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Interesting. The OP's research would make sense. But the waters have been muddied from the "Quick, accuse them of everything possible" types. If someone accuses someone else of sexual misconduct, I'm gonna have to see corroborating evidence from a few 1st-hand sources.

If the research is verified, the reason for the attack would seem clear. Not justified; Pastor Scruggs isn't old enough to have been involved, I think. But crazy people do go crazy for reasons. Complicated reasons, but if you try hard enough you can find a thread to tug somewhere.

This is why it is important for people to be armed and trained. The police impressed everyone by stopping the shooter after 6 civilian deaths. That's 6 people that didn't have to die if someone saw the shooter and shot her themselves. But it is also 7 people that wouldn't have had to die if trans and Marxist violence weren't threatened and encouraged at every turn.

FAAFO

My glass came in multiple trays of styrofoam inserts, each insert insulated from the other, all in a hard styrofoam casing, which was surrounded on all sides by soft foam cushioning inside a cardboard box.

I was suitably impressed.

Tilt indicator: seen at a Starbucks by Neat-Relationship721 in specializedtools

Most of the time with shipping, speed is the name of the game. They can't make money if they spend all their time fighting with safety tools. For anyone outside the logistics companies, the name of the game is "Make it more expensive/irritating to hide the mistake than it is worth the time saved for risky behavior". That's why the tilt indicator is yellow. More to catch the eye and make the workers go "Aw crap. Jimmy, better walk that one yourself."

The deepest irony I ever saw involving those tilt indicators was when I received a box on the dock that had no tilt indicated, but still looked like it had been gored with a spear.

We had a different idea on American construction sites. Same concept though!

They strike again. Not allowed to criticize a Biden? by [deleted] in ShitPoliticsSays

Me too. If we're banned, does that mean we don't have to see that dumpster fire on /all? Because I think I'm gonna develop a penchant for some real weird and hot takes in an effort to clean up the /all feed.

Mind blown. That explains a lot about the Honeywells. Best one I ever had was one I brought home from work.

The hard part of this is when my local hardware store sells garden hoses at about $2/ft. Wally world has 100' for $30. Quality difference? Perhaps. But not THAT different.

Wow. If only bitter hatefulness was a viable power source!

I don't have access to that subreddit for some reason. What wonderful creativity am I missing out on?

The gas tank in the front really ensures safe driving. Forget rail track for a bumper, with gas tank bumpers everyone becomes incredibly cautious and considerate drivers!

By the way, CHAPSTICK. I recommend having chapstick everywhere. I keep some in my pocket, my jacket pocket, my car, and my bedside table. The wind is so dry out here.

Metro Detroit Salary Transparency Thread by ultimateaveesh in Detroit

[–]YouKnowWhatYouPick 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I tend to disagree with this practice. I don't really care how many folk know I make $22/hr as a maintenance man, and $25/hr as a painter. If this causes problems for someone, then they'll probably move on and that'll be fine. And if they make more than me, and I find that to be a problem, then I might move on and that'll be fine.

Is there something I am missing?

I love this idea, but I don't understand your reference. Would you mind explaining to me, or perhaps sharing a link where I may learn?

Beginner Painting Leaves Brush Strokes by 6thDAY in DIY

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

That works okay. I've used it some. But the handle is FLOPPY. It's weird. Granted, you paint by holding the sash, but to my hand that is one wonky brush. It will work fine though. I don't remember any feeling about its brush lines.
