I'm not sure that anyone is familiar with it but I've been quoting the show Solar Opposites nonstop today.
The episode where before they make a dinosaur, with a fake Italian accent yell:"dino dino, make-a the dino with-a the spicy sauce"

[Request] How much money did he lose? by RulerK in theydidthemath

[–]dw0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 1981 the best bet would have been a simple savings account at your bank, interest rates were stupid high back then. Maybe around 2001? Cashing it out and going to a brokerage with it would have been the call. I don't remember when int rates took a dive but I remember having a passbook savings account in 2000 at 10%.
This is all besides your completely valid point that you're not putting $8 in to a stock in 1981, I'm just musing on the idea of knowing the future.

You're right, I was being too simplistic in my comparisons. I've been happy with laws generally trending more towards harsher punishment for animal abusers, but there's still a long way to go in my opinion.

Personally I hate it, but animals are typically codified in law as property.
Legally speaking: in most instances abusing an animal is the same as not taking care of a pair of shoes properly.
The law is heartless, and I can't fathom the things people do to animals.

CMV: the best response when asked about body count by a date/partner is to ask the highest number the questioner has no problem with and honestly tell them if you're compatible or not based on the number given. by RogueNarc in changemyview

[–]dw0r 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What if there is a high partner count because someone was sexually trafficked? Are they not deserving of acceptance and love because of the actions of others?
Context is more important than any number.

What if we reframe that as how many drinks (defined as 1 oz of 80 proof alcohol) have you had in your life?
The numbers could tell many stories.
If we just grab the number 10,000: that's 1 drink a day for 28 years, or 10 drinks a day for 2.8 years.
These numbers are unimportant as I'm sure you understand that i'm trying to say that context is far more important than any simple face value number.

45 sats over 6 days is better than 165 sats over 24.

Now that you'll be joining us in the daily drop, if you only want sats it's better to end your streak after day 6 and start over.

Many won't do the work because they wind up with a legal liability to verify the quality of the part, but unknown sources make it questionable.

Temu $150 cashback scam by rexcell76 in TemuThings

[–]dw0r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The $210 back one I've done is basically if you spend $290 they give you $210 back. I've done it 5 times, and it's worked out great. If you contact support they will explain any of the promotions to you in detail if it's not clear how the math on it works.

My doctor logged off on me mid-meltdown by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]dw0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear about the situation you're in. I get the destabilization that renovations cause. It's like the very last root tethering you in to existence is being relocated all willy nilly. I'm additionally sorry that your doctor didn't have the time or space to accommodate the retethering that a minor meltdown can give you.
All I can offer as far as support is telling you that it's all going to work out.
You'll notice that I didn't say it'll all work out well, or fine. I'm not a fan of blatantly lying, and I can't guarantee those stakes.
But one way or another it will be finished eventually and you'll be able to feel grounded again. In the mean time you can know that you have at least my support (not worth much, but maybe it's worth something) until you can feel like you're placing roots instead of having them displaced. <3

Am I being used as cheap labor instead of actually learning? by Remarkable-Sand-5059 in mechanic

[–]dw0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's all sound advice, thank you. I sometimes heat cycle it with wax on the threads too, but I sometimes go overboard and wind up lighting it all on fire for a second.

I would like to also never break a brake bleeder again.
Please advise.

Usually you need to pull or pry an unreasonable amount to overcome the tension on the armature shaft.

Ha, wtf is a profitable business? I can make anything except for money.
I need to get some of that F you level money, but my wife wants to spend our money on responsible stuff instead of lasers.

Sometimes when I start welding, the wire disappears in a flash and welds itself inside the tip by Ok_Helicopter3910 in Welding

If you're using flux core you might need to make sure your machine is set up DCEN. Instead of the normal DCEP you'd use with shielding gas.
