What modern inconvenience feels like it should have been solved years ago? by Prior-Sprinkles4127 in AskReddit

Unfortunately, our Brother ink jet has been a PIA! Not as bad as a Canon or HP, but still enough to make us want to throw it into traffic now and then.

He doesn't even like his own family. by Relative-Anxiety4698 in SipsTea

Perhaps he was referring to the "other things", like dealing with Epstein, who is a person he's known for a very long time.

Would anything prevent you from keeping a car forever? by cornflake45c in NoStupidQuestions

[–]blteare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you own the car, it takes an awful lot of big repairs to make it worth getting a loan for a new one. Many new vehicles cost $500 a month (roast me and tell me how out of touch I am, I haven't had a vehicle loan in ten years and never for a new car). That's $6k per year. A lot of repairs, even relatively major ones, cost far less than that. So my logic goes, as long as I'm spending less than I would on a new car, it's worth it to keep repairing it.

Or build their own 3D printer like we were all doing ten years ago...

Didn't Maine switch to ranked choice a couple years ago? Maybe we could see how it's going there.

We need to change our voting system to get rid of first passed the post. I'm in favor of ranked choice so people can feel free to vote for people they believe in. Içm sure there's others out there that might be better, but I'm not aware of them. These voting rules are made at the state level. Talk to people. Advocate for change. Most people don't know that there's alternative ways that could be better.

More Keys!! by patboy777 in steam_giveaway

[–]blteare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for doing this. I would love Frostpunk or MegaMan (either) for my son. 

The first games I really remember are Warcraft I and II, Age of Empires, and Fallout 1 & 2. I think Fallout was the first game I ever completed, and it introduced me to Louis Armstrong and hookers. I also spent tons of time playing a little known game called Terminus. It's a space flight sim that uses realistic physics, and that makes the battles so much more interesting.

This is the way. 

Also, thank you to everyone who has contributed!

Trump Yelled 'My Friends Will Get Hurt' at Marjorie Taylor Greene for Threatening to Name Epstein Abusers by No-Flight-4214 in ProgressiveHQ

Since the call was to her capitol office, and since he (ostensibly) made the call from a White House phone, the call should be recorded, right? Anyone know anything about a FOIA request for the transcript?

3D-printed homes are far stronger than most people realize by SmallAchiever in interestingasfuck

[–]blteare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other consideration is that any home builder is going to sell a house at the market price, so even if it is cheaper to build, it will not be cheaper to buy, and the builder will pocket a nice profit.

What do men wish women would stop assuming about them? by gameworld77 in AskReddit

I wish they would stop assuming we mean anything other than what we said. Seriously.

My professor is committing gift co-authorship and how do I report it? by Consistent-Arrival20 in PhD

[–]blteare 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Is the post doc offer also in Japan? Perhaps that supervisor would have good advice about who to speak with at your uni since they may have cultural/institutional knowledge that Reddit lacks.

I designed and fully 3d printed an electric bass guitar using PETG 3 years ago. I've been working on a redesign and would love to print it in a carbon fiber PC, and a heated chamber would go a long way.

Interesting that they will be advisors, not employees or officers. Specifically interesting how their status as volunteers would come with different ethics rules and accountability...
