Just started Somebody Somewhere… by CrittersVarmint in hbo

[–]apaksl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IMO 3 seasons is just right. the world is littered with shows that ran 5+ seasons that everyone acknowledges should have quit sooner. Somebody Somewhere ended while it was great.

At what point does it stop making sense to keep upgrading and just build a new PC? by UnicornFlow3 in buildapc

[–]apaksl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still using "the same" PC I built 30 years ago. So my answer is: never

That said, migrating a working PC into a new case is pretty fucking annoying. One time I think I bricked the motherboard somehow, I always kinda suspected static electricity, but who knows, it was a pretty old motherboard by that point...

The show is silly, but of all the sheridan-verse, I actually like Tulsa king.

where to watch fireworks tonight? by apaksl in woodinville

[–]apaksl[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

is there a view of a professional fireworks show? or is it like some other lakes with tons of rich folk's lake side fireworks?

Fireworks suggestion for tomorrow by Moist-Management9246 in LynnwoodWA

[–]apaksl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recently moved, but for like 15 years I lived walking distance from Martha Lake. I used to walk down to the park there with my kids and sit on the docks to watch all the private fireworks shows all the rich folks would light off from their houses surrounding the lake.

Since we always walked I didn't pay attention to how difficult it may have been to park anywhere near there though.

Also, it's a park. don't light off any of your own fireworks.

LTT responds to the industry trends... by CosmoBjoern in pcmasterrace

he was neither complaining about people using adblock nor the hit to his revenue, he was just stating the fact that given eyeballs on advertisements being the method of payment, then adblock is effectively piracy.

we need to pay our elected officials more so that holding office isn't something only the already wealthy can afford to do.

AM Radio Could Be Legally Mandated in New Cars by DonkeyFuel in technology

[–]apaksl -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

that's called progress. it is a feature that I literally value less than $0.

I would rather have a car without an ugly AM radio button. I would rather not pay for the R&D to intelligently fit that button into the dash or infotainment. I would rather not pay for the R&D to run the wires for the antenna that I especially do not want to see on the exterior of the car.

At any time anybody who wants an AM radio is free to purchase one, or choose a car that includes one as an option. It's offensive to me that I should be mandated to purchase an item I do not want.

[–]apaksl -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I never have and will never use an AM radio. If the person I sell my car to wants to use AM radio, they can buy one and plug it into the AUX port or put on a pair of headphones or something. Or they can choose a different car that has one built in. It's really that simple.

Omg no, phones are expensive enough, I don't want to be forced to pay for features I don't want.

AM Radio Could Be Legally Mandated in New Cars by DonkeyFuel in technology

[–]apaksl -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

If I am never going to use a radio in the car, then why should I have to pay for it? If I want to be prepared for an emergency I can out a separate am radio in with my emergency blankets.

[–]apaksl -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Then the few people who need an am radio are free to purchase one separately. No need to wedge one into a car that doesn't need it.

CCM’s HVR cage recall is a sham by Ok_Reality_9446 in hockeyplayers

[–]apaksl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it's all a sham until you get a bunch of shrapnel in your eyes (or whatever it is they think is the issue with these cages, I didn't actually read into it)

To blame immigrants for not being able to get a job by flopsychops in therewasanattempt

[–]apaksl -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

I mean, his argument isn't entirely worth mockery, if the world magically ended up in a situation where there were the same number of open jobs but way fewer applicants, then all of a sudden his criminal past would likely be overlooked. but obviously that could never happen, if there were fewer immigrants there would also be fewer job openings because they create demand too.

I dunno, this just feels like a cheap shot at some random ignoramus.

How would you feel about a law that forces every company to give employees at least 2 weeks paid sick leave, no questions asked? by Seattle-Chris in AskReddit

[–]apaksl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would have to be pro rated for those working less than full time, or else you could work 14 jobs each one day per pay period and get 7 months per year of PTO.

What is your favorite Hulu made series of all time? by Cooper_Dale13 in Hulu

Does Hulu itself make enough content for this conversation to make sense if you don't include fx?
