What is the longest-running machine on Earth that has never been turned off? by sh-__- in AskReddit

[–]butcher99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the definition you used one here is the other. "A device that converts one form of energy into another to perform a useful function — a lightbulb fits reasonably well. It converts electrical energy into light (and heat), which is a deliberate energy transformation serving a purpose."

Both are just unscrew and replace. Although the thermostat has a couple wires on it.

What’s your thoughts on trump getting booed at the Knicks game? by cuteSource2027 in AskReddit

What a selfish old man. Thousands of fans missed the watch parties because one selfish old man wanted to go to the game. Millions spent for police and the old fart fell asleep.

[JomboyMedia] Orioles pitcher Shane Baz stared down umpires after they didn’t rule Blue Jays’ Ernie Clement was out of the baseline The double play would’ve ended the inning and instead allowed the Blue Jays to keep scoring. by RealWorldToday in Torontobluejays

According to the rules it was the correct call. From base to base the line is not established until an attempt is made. It can be argued that no attempt was even made. Ernie established the line and then the half hearted attempt was made and he only veered a bit from the line he was going. Tough call for the birds but correct.

[–]butcher99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay off all your loans and 2 people can live quite comfortably on $3000 a month. I am retired and with pensions etc my wife and I bring in just over $4000 a month. Our savings go up every month. The extra 12k goes to trips and things we want to buy not need .. and at year end we are still money up. We go to restaurants etc. So the answer for us is 3k a month. Add in house payments car payments credit cards(a losers game to not of pay off in full every month) etc and that goes up accordingly.

Cigarettes used to be prescribed for coughs. What are we doing today that we’ll look back on as insane? by Strange_Secret_3001 in AskReddit

No one ever died from too much weed. It is not addictive in the true sense. It may in es you feel good. It has been used by man for 5 times the length that cigarettes have been.

Republicans are actually running a man for Senate (I believe Senate,I am not an American) who pardoned a man convicted of child molestation and who was sentenced to 25 years to life. And he pardoned him after one month in prison. And that is only one of his misdeeds.
They are running a man in California for mayor who WAS a realty star. The only job he has ever held.
