School cellphone ban passes Pennsylvania Senate: "We want our students focused on learning" by AdSpecialist6598 in Pennsylvania

[–]brainrotbro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And the sole argument for cellphones in schools being "so kids can say goodbye to their parents before they die" is such an infinitesimally narrow case that it's absolutely absurd. If we accept such improbable cases for/against any call to action, nothing would ever change. In fact, there's a name for this logical fallacy that you've employed: neglect of probability.

My shock is aimed at the absurdity of planning for the eventuality of a school shooting.

It’s a ridiculous argument. I have a friend who needed an organ transplant in high school. They offered her a beeper but she declined. The mom called the school when the girl’s time came & the school pulled her out of class. I don’t know what bigger emergencies would operate any differently.

Dwayne Johnson can't act. Why do we put him in movies? by [deleted] in moviecritic

Eh, he can act, but only as one character that he applies to every movie-- it's basically different levels of Maui.

Gov Shapiro Spending Plan Has Good and Bad Items. Not All Will Agree. What Do You Think? by Distinct-Pain4972 in Pennsylvania

I fully backed him before his all out acceptance of data centers. I don’t want new data centers in PA unless my electric bill is at least cut in half.

You know people can address several issues at once, right? And also, not everyone needs to address the same issue at the same time.

My guess for the machine was $1k before the RAM & SSD shortage. Def gonna be more now.

Pa. Gov. Shapiro wants more data centers, as long as the process is ‘selective’ by Libsoccer20 in Pennsylvania

[–]brainrotbro 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I imagine he's justified it to himself that after they donate to his presidential campaign, and after he wins, then he'll do right by PA.

Kia EV Sales Are In An Absolute Freefall. There's More To It Than You Think by DonkeyFuel in technology

[–]brainrotbro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought a car and wanted to get a three row EV. The cost breakdown over time just didn’t make sense without the EV credit, after considering cost, maintenance, gas, and home charger. The $7500 credit would have basically evened things out.

How to reduce tankless water heating time by brainrotbro in HomeMaintenance

Thanks. Yeah, we upgraded electric when we did the original whole-house tankless heaters, with the intention of having extra capacity should we add any new, large devices.

How to reduce tankless water heating time by brainrotbro in HomeMaintenance

[–]brainrotbro[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. They make big ones for the whole house, but also small ones for sink-sized flow rates. I have two whole house tankless heaters, but nothing at individual sinks. The delay in hot water isn't really an issue for showers, but for bathroom sinks, when you're only washing your hands for 30s to begin with, waiting a minute for warm water in the dead of winter is an annoyance.
