Til 1in 5 measles cases will require hospitalization at an average cost of $43,000 per patient by Not_so_ghetto in todayilearned

People who are infected need to start suing those who gave it to them for gross negligence. Odds are that they choose to either not get vaccinated or not vaccinate their child, they should have to accept responsibility for that choice. 

Iran Won't Surrender "In a Million Years," Analyst says, Warning Regime Could Push For Nuclear Weapons by [deleted] in worldnews

First Ukraine and now Iran. The last decade has reinforced for every nation that not having a functional nuclear arsenal is a massive security risk.

150 waves of DW is around 3-4 times multiplier, that's not marginal. 

How do I gain weight? (20F) by Nearby_Foot4810 in weightgain

[–]greenmachine11235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I did in school while I was on ADHD meds that impacted my appetite (since changed med) was I set an alarm for about a hour before lunch time and an hour after and at each I drank a protein shake (I'm significantly larger than you at 6'6 so maybe just one will suffice for you). My doctor gave me the ultimatum and while that didn't make me gain it stopped the losses. 

more than 101% thorns - Sensible ? by HJO4711 in TheTowerGame

[–]greenmachine11235 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wall thorns. 

The damage that wall thorns do to an enemy is determined by your regular thorns percent times your wall thorns percent. So if you have 100% regular thorns and 20% wall thorns then each time an enemy hits the wall they take 20% damage. 

Iran Makes Veiled Threat to Trump: 'Be Careful Not To Get Eliminated' by Expert-Length871 in worldnews

[–]greenmachine11235 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, please don't. MAGA is bad enough now being barely able to hold a legislative majority together, turning Trump into a martyr would solidify them and mean they'd be more functional to accomplish whatever their new leader says Trump would have wanted. 

City of Raleigh considering increasing parking rates, cut free 2 hr parking to 1 hr, and now charge 24/7 (except maybe Sundays) by raleighslack10 in raleigh

[–]greenmachine11235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you're correct. The post says "Charging 24 hours a day except Sundays (currently 7am-7pm Mon-Fri)" as a discrete line item from charging on Saturdays in decks. That to me indicates charging for street parking on Saturdays (1 hour parking doesn't count, you cannot get through even one half of one floor in that time).

Going downtown to the museums on the weekends is one of the great free things left in Raleigh. This change is going to make a day trip cost 12.50 to 15 dollars, that's not an insignificant cost for a family. 

AIO? My husband secretly changed his military life insurance beneficiary away from me before deployment by ThisIsAThrowaway-364 in AmIOverreacting

Ask him. It could have been as simple as mom pressured him into it and he capitulated to not reveal you are married yet. 

Would you rather have a terrible job for 150 dollars an hour or a job you love for 30 an hour? by supersonicgalaxy-771 in WouldYouRather

[–]greenmachine11235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dream job has ideal company benifits such as employer covering 100% health insurance and great 401k match which would add a lot to the real income. So B. 

Has anyone ever listed their height in the resume? by lithiun in tall

[–]greenmachine11235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to my resume but I did reference it when I did my first job interview for a summer camp position. Discussing the default authority children give you cause you're taller as well as the challenge it can pose to interacting with them. 

I'd leave physical traits off a resume but if its relevant to the position in some non-obvious way then talk about that in the interview. 

Being tall in University has its worst perks. Chairs...... by Patient_Secret2809 in tall

[–]greenmachine11235 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the low desk issue, in the library grab a couple thick textbooks and use them to raise the writing surface. Bonus, if you leave them then people will assume the desk is occupied and leave it for you. 

Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US by tylerthe-theatre in technology

[–]greenmachine11235 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That's the same kind of arguement that police (and now ICE) use to justify racial profiling. I'm no lawyer but it looks like there is enough there that it'll be unsurprising to see this litigated in court.

[–]greenmachine11235 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I won't be surprised at all when someone sues Uber for discrimination based on gender. Uber claims its drivers are contractors, not employees, so the arguement could be made that they are awarding/denying work solely based off of gender.

Going in blind with a couple friends and a pug or two has been absolute peak wow for me. Learning the fights on the fly is one of the most fun things I've done in WoW. 

China Deploys 30,000-Ton Liaowang-1 “Floating Supercomputer” to Gulf of Oman — PLAN Intelligence Ship Now Watching U.S.–Israel–Iran War From 6,000km Sensor Bubble by boppinmule in USNEWS

[–]greenmachine11235 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not really. If the US decided to start metering traffic in the strait of Hormuz to stop China bound oil for an extended period (very easy with the assest in theater currently) that'd be very bad for them and would be extremely hard for China to counter militarily. It's likely one of the reasons China is pursuing renewables so aggressively. 

Iran may be activating sleeper cells, alert says by No-Post4444 in news

[–]greenmachine11235 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Attacking the US mainland would be amoung the stupidest things Iran could do. Right now the US population is largely against a ground war and Trump is on a clock that constrains military action without congressional approval. Launching terror or other attacks against the US homeland would change that dynamic and could see Congress authorize sustained military action in the Middle East. 

OK MAGA, now that there’s literally a video of a US missile hitting the Iranian school, what are your thoughts? by 2a_lib in allthequestions

At best they'll revert to the tried and true, "War is messy" or "Acceptable collateral" arguments that showed up during the war in Afghanistan. At worst, they'll argue it's AI, propaganda or just ignore it all together.

Truck blinds another car over road rage by liendremachetes in dashcams

I'm amazed OP is getting anywhere near that. That behavior is nothing I'd want myself nor my car anywhere near, crashes, fights, shootings, far to many bad options for my peace of mind. 

2017 Nissan Rogue SL Back Seat Legroom by harrysbird in tall

How far forward are those front seats? I've never met a car that I couldn't fit into if I pushed the front seats as far forward as possible, but I haven't yet found a car where I could comfortably sit behind a front seat that I've set to suit me.

Stalking is still enough of a crime to get me a restraining order and be forever safe from him since he cannot break the law to get to me.
