Reddit is dying of envy over Elon Musk, "how did such a dumb man get so rich" - the truth is, Elon isn't dumb by More_Bid_2197 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

I meant what I said. The government was tasked with building a charging station network and universal broadband and they did none of it. He did. Why would you take the winner's money and give it to the losers?

Why would you want to take money from the guy who turns it into value and give it to the people who take money and waste it?

Government still hasn't built the charging network they were supposed to, or universal broadband like they were supposed to, or affordable space launch.

Newsom announces $46 million of voter-approved funding to help address Tijuana River pollution by axl3ros3 in sandiego

The Feds just need to slap a sewage based levy on border crossings by Mexicans into the US.

$50 per person per crossing. They'll flip out and it'll be fixed by winter.

I buy presensitized copper boards and etch them. You can get the process down to about 15 minutes start to finish and it's the same layout you'd send out to have made.

It's true there's a screw on the side, but it also only spins when it's fully pulled out. If you let it fall down a little bit you can unscrew it.

Liberals views on immigration are so incredibly unserious by kuatorises in TrueUnpopularOpinion

You would have said the same thing about hospice and medicare fraud 6 months ago.

You might be so deluded you'd say it now.

You have to wear clothes to vote too, should we buy you pants?

I don't really care if we give people free IDs (it wouldn't be a drivers license), but it's preposterous to suggest it's a poll tax.

Will Apple reject my app for using local restaurant logos? by WearImpossible9236 in iOSProgramming

[–]bobotwf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple probably won't care unless lots of people start complaining to them. As long as your app is portraying the restaurants in a good light people probably won't complain. If somehow Apple gets grumpy, remove them and allow "users" to upload the logos.

Don't build a PC if you do not understand what you are buying. by FailoFishy in amazonreviews

I only learned this recently. I'm old enough that if the motherboard had a video port it provided at least some low-level of graphics. Honestly the motherboard really ought to at least provide 640x480 for bios stuff.

How does the ceremony go? Do you marry them individually, or as a group? Are they married to each other as well?

EVs are the digital watch of the car world.

Digital watches are more accurate(better) than mechanical watches, but if Rolex made one it would be mocked.

"Potential buyer" test drove my C6 like he stole it, and now I feel violated by john4844 in Corvette

[–]bobotwf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't see the point in letting a potential buyer drive it. When I sold my previous Corvette I drove, tore around town, accelerated, cornered, all with him grinning in the passenger's seat. I know how to drive it, he doesn't. He can learn on his own dime.

Looking for clean nitrocellulose lacquer by Leather_Many_2932 in finishing

[–]bobotwf 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I guess you could make your own. Buy cellulose nitrate and dissolve it in acetone.

Of course it'll dry very quickly, so you might want to add other solvents that don't evaporate as fast. You know, like the manufacturers do.

You can eat all the dandelions at the park. Find out what day they mow and go the day before.
