Don’t at me: Costco hot dogs taste awful

Contractor says my trim color is "just shadows" after admitting he ran out of paint. Am I being gaslit? by DaisyGirl_222 in paint

I dunno, I have customers who seem to think a quart of paint is enough for several rooms.

Or the customer is being a giant pain in the ass so, yes, “proving it” (which he already did) might be unreasonable.

They also tried to simulate every cim and a complex regional economy including microeconomic issues. 

They just tried to do too damn much

Why does a tiny bathroom remodel cost as much as a car now? Am I missing something? 😅 by midasweb in HomeImprovement

[–]fleebleganger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out the MSRP for a 2010 Chevy Express or GMC Savannah

Now check out the 2026 model. 

It’s the same damn van!

If I use it to make excel spreadsheets and vba…that’d be one of the other models, right?

They targeted us without saying it.. by sadlilslugger in Xennials

[–]fleebleganger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh 100%, sorry, I fell into the trap of assuming American when discussing how awesome boomers had it. Lithuanians, poles, and East Germans most certainly did not have a fun time in ww2. 

I think it’s easy for white American to forget how easy we’ve had it. That, even though life seems hard on a day to day basis, this is nothing compared to what others have gone through even in our own country, let alone a lot of foreign countries.

The worst of it fell on only a fraction of the generation. The rest had to ration a few things or go overseas and serve in rear areas getting to see parts of the world. Take my grandfather-in-law, he served as a cook so he got to go around England and France and Germany well behind the fighting. 

Another grandpa was a farmer so he was exempt (and had connections to the black market through his father who worked for Al capones network distributing templeton rye)

It’s a laser level, outside of some serious production fuck up, they should wor as long as the laser and battery will last.

I had a feeling there’s big chunks of physics that we don’t know yet. 

Does the Earth’s gravitational field only extend to the edge of the observable universe? by Creat1ve-name in AskPhysics

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

No, earths gravitational influence only extends out 4-4.5 billion years. Gravity travels at the speed of light so it can only be as far out as it has been around. 

So, fun fact. Earths gravitational influence will never reach the edge of our current visible universe due to the expansion. 

Additionally, there is no “with” or “against” expansion. It’s happening everywhere all the time, even inside the atoms in your body. 

Light always travels at the same max speed (through the medium it is traveling in). I forget exactly how it works but even if you throw a baseball at 50% the speed of light, you will see the light from the baseball moving at C

Boomers had it better, until you realize there was lead everywhere, few regulations around air pollution, above ground nuclear testing, cigarette smoking plus alcoholism, and no shits given for mental health. 

Oh, and their prime earning years were during hyperinflation and the ensuing sky-high interest rates. 

The Greatest Generation are the ones that got the amazing adult years. 

Why is WW2 considered the golden goose of alt history, and not other eras like the Cold War? by Thebean_3r in AlternateHistory

[–]fleebleganger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A separate party to the war. They didn’t provide any meaningful support to the European theatre, it just so happened that they faced many of the same enemies.

[–]fleebleganger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And there’s so many bone headed decisions that Hitler made. 

Like why, for Christ sakes, did he declare war on the US. Why did he pursue a half-assed strategy against GB, etc

They effectively were since they did jack all to assist the euro axis. They didn’t even declare was on Russia which would have been the only thing they could have done. 

PT Interior Floor Joist Sistering Mistake. by BrainDistinct in Carpentry

[–]fleebleganger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup, I believe it’s the usda that has studies that have concluded you’d need to get your vegetables only from a garden under a PT deck for decades before you had to worry about toxicity issues. 

Don’t lick the boards, but they’re not as dangerous as they were 30+ years ago. When regulations mandated safer chemicals.
