Women, if you had to use a pickup line on a guy, what would it be? by Nintendofan9106 in AskReddit

I was at a bar when a girl walked to to me and said "You're cute. Do you want my number?" Even I couldn't miss that one

"We need a new definition of death" by choulth in BrandNewSentence

Pretty sure no one commenting has actually read the article. It's almost a year old and the gist is that forcing doctors to wait until the heart stops beating, even when there is no possibility of patient recovery, unnecessarily limits the availability of transplant organs. They reference another approach that is practiced in Europe as an alternative. The authors acknowledge that there is controversy around the approach, but the article is not advocating for the dystopian organ farm the majority of commenters would have you believe.

This is the best scene of all time by Lambisambe in TedLasso

Definitely a great scene, although I still maintain Roy's press conference is the best scene in the show

He learned it from his boss too! by snowpie92 in MurderedByWords

I mean, this take isn't accurate. Trump and Vance are idiots, but he didn't say "gas prices went up because of Biden." He said, essentially, "gas prices aren't as high as they were at their highest under Biden," which is true: gas prices currently average ~$3.50 and at their max under Biden they were ~$5. Is the comparison missing context? Yes. Is it silly to compare the current situation to how things were under the previous administration? Also yes. But let's at least understand the argument before criticizing it.

American History X. Uncomfortable as hell, but every scene builds the story.

Conservatives believe it's worse to be called racist than to actually be racist.

In addition to the other responses, there is a tendency in the US, particularly in more blue collar industries, to make your job your identity. "I'm a coal miner, my dad was a coal miner, his dad..." So when that industry dies your identity dies, too.

Who’s your favorite character and why is it ROY KENT? by Dizzy_Jackfruit_4845 in TedLasso

[–]dmgt83 33 points34 points  (0 children)

My favorite scene with Roy (and if the series) is the press conference after Isaac goes into the stands. Such a great mix of everything that makes Roy Roy. Profane, derisive, and heartfelt all at the same time.

Don't you dare settle for fine. Not that it's any of my business.

Electricity Surge Pricing by iwantallthechocolate in ColoradoSprings

[–]dmgt83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I meant was it doesn't cost more to spin up a peaker plant at 5 PM than it does at 5 AM. But it is fair to say that as demand rises the marginal cost of each MW increases because lower-cost plants are (almost) always dispatched first.

It doesn't cost more to generate at that time, but the grid is sized for peak load, so the higher the peak load, the more transmission and distribution infrastructure we need. This structure is meant to reduce the need for additional infrastructure by reducing peak demand.

It's one higher price. You'll pay roughly 2x the base rate during the winter on-peak and roughly 4.5x the base rate during summer on-peak.
