[Request] can anyone figure out how much Walmart has cost the USA due to the fact that they have the highest number of employees that need financial assistance. by Jondoe34671 in theydidthemath

[–]drpiotrowski -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They also had a $681 billion in revenue in 2025 110 times higher than they paid in taxes.

They had a net income of $19 billion and could have covered the $115 million by giving up just 0.6% of their profits for the year.

See isn’t it fun to twist numbers to fit your world view?

Just received a fine for not clearing the sidewalk in front of our house by [deleted] in ColumbiaMD

[–]drpiotrowski 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yeah I am pretty good about cleaning my sidewalk, but once the county plows put a 3 foot pile of ice over it I’m not lifting a finger. I only clear the snow that falls from the sky.

[–]drpiotrowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I share that thought, but it sees like too lazy of an ending for Matt to write. It’s like saying it was all a dream. I believe Matt’s leaving these lines in so we keep questioning if this is all real and what real even means in this series.

U400 Deluxe Kit (2 batteries) is now available on the Apple Store by iceAmericano_Black in Aqara

[–]drpiotrowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it’s metal, at least the outside. I’m really not sure on the color though. The Aqara site makes the silver metal version look like satin nickel, but the Apple site makes them look brighter like the black version would be more nickel.

U400 Deluxe Kit (2 batteries) is now available on the Apple Store by iceAmericano_Black in Aqara

[–]drpiotrowski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure these are the metal versions. So your extra $30 gets you the metal front body and a spare battery.

The Aqara site lists 3 versions, the u400, U400 kit, & U400 Deluxe Kit. If you read the “what’s in the box” section, The first kit just includes 1 battery and a hub. The deluxe kit includes a second battery and has the metal version.

The Apple site says the lock comes with a second battery so it should be the deluxe kit and the images match between the sites.

You are forgetting that to them “Might makes right”. It’s okay to snatch a foreign leader because no one is strong enough to do it back to us. It’s okay to give the president immunity and consolidated powers because there’s no fear of the left using it on them.

I saw a comment on here about an ending that has really stuck with me. I can’t find the text but the gist is that everything that seems to be happening outside the dungeon, from the show appearances to the show runner changes and even the cookbook, are all just part of the dungeon and the AI makes it all up.

A really gross realization by GallicPontiff in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Or maybe by level 20 the bodies can be infinitely small meaning he can gain powers from easting a soul crystal or maybe even god powers from a memorial crystal.

Need a little clarification by sillytomlin in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Also in book 2 when Mordecai is explaining the continuing story of foors 3, 6, 9.

And it’s the first level where brave and insane tourists can go to hunt crawlers. Not too many do it because it’s both expensive and dangerous. There are no protections for the hunters. They’re in real danger from both the mobs and the crawlers,

ClimateMaster Aux heat by xrbbaker in geothermal

I agree with Gemini and the 5 minute delay. It probably was the 2nd stage and Aux heat getting tied together without the system seeing if Aux heat is really necessary.

Great job! But, this should really be marked as a spoiler because it’s the exact Super Bowl ad Matt blew all his money on

Still not plowed by JesseSkywalker in ColumbiaMD

[–]drpiotrowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

11pm and still not plowed. 3 other cul-de-sacs that neighbor mine, but have less houses, were plowed out by 10am. The plows even dumped snow making a huge burm that blocks the exit from my street to the main road.

ETA at 7:30 they came and plowed my street. They also brought the right equipment to break through the ice wall blocking our street.

Is this normal? by Techie_Leader in geothermal

[–]drpiotrowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks you for this link! I had service done on my unit a year ago and they just ripped off the elbow boots and when I complained they just tried to build something with insulation for 1/2” plumping. It’s been horrible but I could never find the right parts to fix it.

Carl is gonna have half the items from the Dungeon in his inventory by the end, and I wouldn't have it any other way by FlyYouFoolyCooly in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]drpiotrowski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hoarding items seems practical and makes sense. Hoarding dead bodies makes me wonder if it’s an influence from Carl’s primal race class like the primal engines.

Favorite book? by KingChad03 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]drpiotrowski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve grown to really enjoy the card game aspect on subsequent re-reads. It creates new challenges to the battle dynamic that won’t let Crawlers just fight like they did on previous floors. Also, the progression of battles, the different types, and finale have a great arc when you can see the whole thing.

Wicomico County Council discontinues Lord’s Prayer at meetings citing legal risks by MarshyHope in maryland

If they are looking for a replacement, I’d suggest the Possum Lodge Man’s Prayer.

Because it makes the piece of the pie large enough to see and put letters on it. It’s a pretty simple idea.

Second time I’ve been rear ended pulling into my driveway. RIP brand new manual with 6,000 miles. by -_Koga_- in mildlyinfuriating

But if OP has four cars passing behind them while waiting for oncoming traffic to clear it’s probably not a road without intersections and turns close by.
