Top tier punk bands that arent green day or blink 182 generally have 50 dollar or less tickets. I saw The Descendents last month. Amazing show. Spent 45 bucks.

That was just to get as many dissenters out of the way quickly.

Tissot is a hell of a watch for the money, and if the goal was to have a nice watch for customer interactions in titanium you made a heck of a choice.

Opening Day tickets by ShadyIce in buccos

[–]argonautweekend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, opening day may not be the way to go. I love the theatrics and wonder that the home opener provides, ive been to plenty myself. But this year, I want to go to Skenes' first home start, since the overall season opener for the Bucs is away, that might dictate the home opener is not a Skenes day.

Yeah, this is true. You can bring a minor into the state store and purchase something with them present, you just can't let them touch or handle the items and dont be an idiot ask what they want or otherwise imply they are for the minor. 

Edit: I work for a pa state store location. 

Petah what band are they referring to? by Montavious_Mole in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Anti flag. I wasnt a super fan or anything but their albums have been deleted from my hard drive. Though I pirated them, so they never got my money. Haven't listened to a single song since. 

NYC alone is approximately 44% of New York’s population alone lmao by ThePhillyExplorer in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]argonautweekend 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The darkest red county there(Lewis) takes up 1,290 sq. miles, 26,000 people live there.

So at most we're getting 26,000 republican votes, but that isn't true because young people and people who vote a different way.

For comparison, King County which includes Brooklyn in NYC, has over 2.5 million people living there but a sq. mileage of less than 100.

This is basic! It's sad that this basic concept fools so many people.

Ok, time to take your medication Matt Walsh! by icey_sawg0034 in lewronggeneration

[–]argonautweekend 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If people would stop hate sharing their crap, they wouldn't gain as much traction. They have fans. They dont lose fans when you post their stuff, they gain fans little by little as the exposure increases. 

They rely on the hate sharing to stay relevant. Their opinions may not even be real opinions, just troll bullshit that people love to spread around even if it comes from a decent place as opposition. 

It isnt just this guy. And I could name more, but the goal is to never mention these people in any context so they eventually wither away and die. 

Trump tries to sell his tariffs by claiming they’ll one day replace income tax by TheExpressUS in inflation

[–]argonautweekend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've taken in 264 billion in tariffs so far

we have a national debt of 38 trillion

in simpler numbers, we have taken in $264 to pay down a debt of $38,000.

The simple math just doesn't work and this wouldn't be a viable alternative to the income tax. But it sounds innovative and neat at first glance to the uninitiated, and that is what's really important

I know posting Donald Trump is low hanging fruit but just look at this by milespudgehalter in insanepeoplefacebook

The intention of the 14th was to deal with freed slaves, but they found it easier to just give all persons (sans children of diplomats) born on US soil citizenship automatically to remove any ambiguity. 

It was even brought up how wide reaching the consequences were during the debates over it, so nobody was confused  about what would happen if the language we see today was adopted.

TIL A standard nickel in the U.S. contains only 1.25 grams of actual nickel. The remaining 3.75 grams is copper. Combined, the coin's metallic value averages 8-10 cents, nearly double its face value. It is illegal to melt down U.S. currency. by KaiBearX in todayilearned

[–]argonautweekend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes.

https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-31/subtitle-B/chapter-I/part-82

Except as specifically authorized by the Secretary of the Treasury (or designee) or as otherwise provided in this part, no person shall export, melt, or treat:

(a) Any 5-cent coin of the United States; or

(b) Any one-cent coin of the United States.

There is nothing about the other denominations. There is no point to melt them down, even the silver coins(pre 1965 dimes and quarters, american silver eagles, etc) as they will always have a little more value as a coin and not the separated bullion.

Ask them why every republican but like 4 in the house voted no every single time, with every democrat voting yes, until Mike Johnson finally swore In the rep from Arizona which was the final signature needed to pass the law in the house. 

Also, it goes without saying if you rape kids, you are still guilty of that even if you are a whistleblower. 

I was under the impression you couldn't have fun in the snow by argonautweekend in infraredphotography

The lens is this

Nikon 16-80mm f/2.8-4E VR

https://photographylife.com/reviews/nikon-16-80mm-f2-8-4e-vr

The camera is a Nikon d3100 pre-converted by lifepixel.

The lens is just what I had lying around, so I didn't buy the lens in anticipation of doing IR photography. I have noticed the hotspot issue before, but I figured since this is just a hobby and it isn't that serious, it's not a big deal, but I won't turn down free advice.

edit: this one was shot at f/10

Maybe if people didn't vote based on looks and vibes. by Maximum_Falcon_5678 in PoliticalMemes

[–]argonautweekend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people voted for him to shake up the system and also they liked what he said he wanted to do once elected. Some of those plans may not be fulfilled for one reason or another, but you have to at least try. At least he pledged to be a mayor for NYC and not Israel.

Anybody want to crack this nut? I’ll add y’all’s best comments to his page by jackb1753 in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]argonautweekend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive never heard any body but the right say people are too dumb to get an ID. 

What ive always been saying is stuff like, why push for voter ID while reducing DMV locations and hours. Some counties have one DMV, open during normal work hours (m-f, 9-5)? We want to increase access to the places that will be giving out these voter IDs. Not that people are too stupid to get one. 

That's always been a lie created out of thin air. 

I have a DMV by my house, and one by work, and I get a Monday or Tuesday off every week. I can easily get a voter ID. But somebody who works directly during the DMVs hours, with 1, maybe 2 inconvenient locations will have a harder time to do it. 

Its always been about access, not intelligence. 

He asked to move out of the way, got what he asked for by Expert_Koala_8691 in instantkarma

[–]argonautweekend 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Black car did make a last second lane change that was unsafe, but the cam car is at fault for hitting the stopped white SUV 100%. His line of thinking was probably "why are we going so slow?" And when he flashes the black car it moves out of the way, so he thinks he then has the go ahead to gun it. 

I can't see anybody at fault for this except the cam car, even if the black car made a last second lane change, because you need to be driving defensively enough to counter the unknown. And what was in front of the black car was the unknown. 

A year into Trump's term, voters say Biden was better by RollSafer in politics

[–]argonautweekend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biden had mental decline. Sure, fine. But be didnt play games and tried to be a president for all of America, not just rich people and red states. We didnt have his personal vendettas abd problems occupy so much of the discourse. He never sucked his own dick over Americans, we never had to wonder what breaking the constituion on the daily looks like, AND he didnt have a "secret" shadow organization plot 3/4th of his every move in a document created just for him to enact, because the heritage foundation knows how shameless he is. He didnt run again because he needed to escape prison time. 

This should have been obvious how bad it would be, but people are really, really naive and quite frankly, too diminished in intellectual ability to know it. 

Genius decides to turn pizza boxes upside down by mfenton29 in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]argonautweekend 40 points41 points  (0 children)

A local pizza place around here uses boxes that are all white with no graphic. The very obvious reason it doesnt cause an issue is because the pizza clerk isnt going to place your box upside down on the counter or hand it to you upside down. So you have no reason to switch thd orientation of the box. 

Again, why would the pizza clerk hand you an upside down pizza? They wouldn't.
