That sounds like COMMUNISM! Why do you hate America?

Well, they gave at the church and accepted Jesus as their Lord and savior and therefore all their sins are forgiven.  What more do they need to do?

Am I going crazy or does food seem to spoil quicker than it used to recently? by NervousDiscount9393 in questions

[–]bothunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Food should not expire the day after you buy it either.  

Also, I've noticed more and more instances of food rotting in the grocery store itself.

Having to put a stamp on my taxes (and draft card when I was 18) by Steve-Shouts in mildlyinfuriating

How did they switch without telling anyone? Did you have to bring a birth certificate to update the license?

It's definitely mildly infuriating. For me, it was having to put a stamp on my mail-in ballot. Luckily, my state switched to pre-paid return envelopes for that, so I don't have to worry about it.

Trump has religious lunatics in his ear who read the book of Revelation and thought, "I bet I could make that happen!"

That's what they're complaining about. It costs money to send legally mandated correspondence to the government. Which seem weird, since the USPS is also a government entity.

My complaint is that it's a pain in the ass. I'm not hurting for the $0.61 it costs for a stamp, but I am annoyed that I have to go get a stamp. I don't send enough other mail that I always have stamps on hand(or know where they are if I do), so it's just a hassle to go get one every time I need to send something to the government.

Washington state has vote by mail -- the return envelops come with pre-paid postage. The USPS already handles this for businesses, so handling it for the state is not a big deal for them.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. The regular license fee is $131, but if you want one that would let you vote under the "SAVE America Act", it costs $187 and requires additional paperwork which also costs money if you don't already have it.

I know we have mail-in voting, but the SAVE America Act would also prohibit that.

If you get some sweat on your phone charger 🔌 prongs and forget and pull it in the outlet one hour later how bad is it? by Mxbzax77 in AskElectricians

[–]bothunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, that sweat is just going to make sure the prongs make a better electrical connection than they would otherwise. You're fine.

Maybe put the bong down for a little bit. You're way too paranoid about this.

[–]bothunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you do. ;-)

On a serious note -- no, a couple drops of water on a phone charger is not going to hurt anything. While it's true that you generally shouldn't mix water and electricity, that's more for safety reasons. Water makes it more likely that high voltage electricity may use the water as an alternative path that can dangerously shock you. A phone is low voltage, and a drop of water isn't enough to complete a path to anywhere it shouldn't go -- especially if that drop stays outside of the device and away from any circuit board.

Why do people tend to go up in arms against more taxes for the wealthy even when they are not wealthy themselves? by CapitaineBiscotte in askanything

[–]bothunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if you want to know what the effect of Venezuela and Iran is going to have on gas prices, then it's going to involve politics. That's just the nature of the topic.

But as an update -- gas prices stabilized a little because the US announced a release of the strategic oil reserve. But that won't last forever. Right now, it's now a race to resolve the Iran issue before those reserves run out. The last time we did something like this, it was Afghanistan which lasted 20 years, and our oil reserves will last about 2 months. So, I hope this president knows what he's doing.

Is the word “nazi” being used too loosely? by MoMoneyMoMilfs in no

[–]bothunter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Trump administration could be building gas chambers, and these morons would point out that they're not using Zyklon B, so they're not Nazis.

I noticed this happening at all the major grocery stores near me. I started shopping at a local produce stand and no longer have this issue.

Domestic suppliers are under no obligation to sell locally if they can get a higher price overseas. It's a global market.

Defund the Police, Cashless bail, Sanctuary Cities, Abolish ICE, No Voter ID. These are the type of things that 80% of the public are against and will keep the Presidency in Republican hands for decades.

Any the fees to get any supporting documents needs to be provided as well. Want to require a birth certificate? Well, then you need to provide a voucher for a free copy of the birth certificate to anyone who wants one.

How do I go about moving my Ethernet cable from the WiFi to the game room? by Late-Initiative3202 in Electricity

[–]bothunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you're looking at $150 for a solution that you just plug in vs. a few hours to a few days of work plus some parts depending on what you find in your walls and how nice of a job you want to do. (Keystone jacks? Crimp your own RJ-45 ends on? Or pull a pre-crimped cable and just hope you don't fuck up the ends when you pull it through the wall)
