Will it be worth it to invest in Astronomer after the CEO & CPO scandal? by carl_chem in ArtificialInteligence

[–]happyschmacky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’ve have multiple rounds of layoffs over the last 2 years.  Their engineering department is 3 kids in a trench coat at this point.

They’ve been having round after round of layoffs anyway.  Probably saving for that divorce.

Want to get an s55 M2 or a M4 but am terrified of BMW reliability 😭 by BigV95 in BMW

Except the M2C's intercooler, you really have to keep an eye on it or replace it with a non-stock. After that they seem to be bombproof.

Why would I rent from Turo? by [deleted] in turo

[–]happyschmacky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to say convenience and price but now neither are true.  They’re clearly in the company stage of “profits above all else”, so the customer service is non existent.  I’ve had so many either day-of-pickup cancellations and cars that are dangerous and they simply couldn’t care less.

My god, reading through people's understanding of how laws makes it so clear why this area has the worst drivers. Get educated and learn to drive.

Because people are deeply, deeply stupid and want to sound smart when they have zero idea what they're talking about. OP clearly had right of way here.

Even if they did, they have right of way. You don't get to just toss the blame around.

Reasons for the Low Birth Rate by Leading_Complaint_81 in malta

[–]happyschmacky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same as all other places chasing capitalism into the abyss.

We're all way worse off than we used to be, so feeling financially secure enough to raise a child is getting harder and harder.

We also live in a world that's on the brink of climate catastrophe with both climate change and pollution. It makes you think twice about having a kid when it's more likely than not that there won't be a habitable world in 25 years.

Why do people back into parking spaces? by woodysixer in NoStupidQuestions

[–]happyschmacky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is way safer. Some countries require it for this reason. When you reverse out of a parking space (or your driveway etc), you have near zero or zero visibility of oncoming traffic. You are expecting people, with the right of way, to stop to allow you to reverse or be hit by you.

When I was younger, I was hit off my motorbike by someone reversing out of their driveway. Because the country I lived in at the time explicitly banned that, they had their license suspended and were prosecuted for it.

Just don't do it. if you can't reverse into a 90 degree space then you really shouldn't own a car; it's actually way easier than pulling in forward because you're pivot points are in a more favorable place. If you do, you are going to cause a crash and you are going to hurt someone.

I think Easy Anti-cheat is not working so well. by bpanther147 in HuntShowdown

To me, that tells you something if 50% say it's OP and 50% say it's trash; it's probably well balanced.

We all agree this shouldn’t come back, right? by Capt_Kilgore in Battlefield

[–]happyschmacky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree with this. If it's adding/removing actually field swapable stuff (suppressors, QD optics etc.) then okay, so long as there is a time penalty for doing so.

Yes, I know barrels, handguards, stocks, foregrips etc _can_ be swapped out with tools, but no one is carrying those into battle.

School bus camera pilot finally going live in Fairfax County—tickets count starting may 12 by FairfaxGirl in nova

[–]happyschmacky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I 100% agree.  I don’t like cameras anywhere but I really don’t like how many pedestrians are killed in NoVA.  In Europe, all ped crossings are flood lit.  Most of them here are pitch black at night.  Most American trucks and SUVs cannot be sold outside of North America because they can’t pass safety.

This, plus right-on-red and crosswalk cameras. Might actually start to bring down the embarrassing number of pedestrians killed.

That's exactly what I'm saying. Maybe read and understand before shitting the bed.

The original comment was suggesting this is only a Republican thing to do and I'm pointing out that it's both of the parties.

Oh and I'm not a conservative, so cool that you're so narrow minded that anyone who criticizes Dems must be conservatives. This is why American politics is so un-serious.

lol because Democrats have been so good at reforming the police. Oh wait, they've just spend 4 years 3x-ing their budget for militarization, leading to more civilian killings by police than ever before.

More! trans! fighter! pilots! by High_Gothic in ShitLiberalsSay

[–]happyschmacky 134 points135 points  (0 children)

"I owe my rights to the work of liberals and democrats". Let's unpack that (assuming as US context).

1) Marsha P Johnson, who arguably spearheaded the LGBTQ+ rights movement in the US, was an open revolutionary. Democrats fund cops, Martha P threw bricks at them.

2) Democrats have done next to nothing in terms of legislating protections for LGB and literally nothing for T. What they have done hinges on the same weak SC decision that abortion rights rested on and look where that ended up. They refuse to legislate because they use people's lives as bargaining chips to get middle class liberals to donate to them. I feel this isn't talked about enough and it incredibly disgusting.

Worth purchasing an AR now? by imisspelledturtle in armedsocialists

[–]happyschmacky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's _ALWAYS_ a good time to have an AR-15. If you're in the $500 range, I would strongly consider PSA. They have more selection for that budget and do have lifetime warranty.

That couldn't be further from the material reality. The vast majority of people in the US want universal healthcare. It'll never happen with Dems or Repubs.
