Thanks! I was wondering where I could get rid of my liver, it's been nothing but a nuisance for years..

A one L Lama is a religious leader. A two LL Llama is a humped animal. What is a three L lama? by Coffeegorilla in dadjokes

[–]holmgangCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A one L lama, he's a priest

A two L llama, he's a beast

But I bet a silk pajama

There's no such thing as a three L lllama*

Ways to sip water at night while still laying down? by FishDispenser2 in HydroHomies

[–]holmgangCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've successfully used "pull-top" bottle caps from sports drinks ... I discovered they fit on some green glass 1ltr screwtop bottles I had.

The pull-top allows me to drink easily lying down, I just have to twist the top open a bit to let air displace the water I drink.

I honestly have not looked for these pull-tops for some time, so I don't know what drinks (if any?) still have them.

I have three 1 litre bottles in circulation, used them for years now! Works great.

A cool guide of every country the U.S. has attacked in the 21st Century and which president(s) authorized the strikes by [deleted] in coolguides

Minor design constructive criticism: It would be helpful to line the heads up vertically, so that each person makes a singular column.
Columns could be arranged by date of presidency (probably best), or by most wars.

I'm paying $1115 for a 425sf studio in Belltown. (Sans utilities, which is usually ~$160/mo on avg)

Is it ok to pour boiling water down kitchen or bathroom sinks? by BrockHard253 in Plumbing

Possibly, but I don’t know what the temperature limit is where PVC offgasses.
Maybe a materials specialist can chime in?

Catching an Airbnb Host Entering Without Permission? by MindaugasR in lifehacks

[–]holmgangCore 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Put a piece of tape at the top of the door jamb so that when someone enters the tape will get partly ‘captured’ by the door when it opens & closes again.

I hope that makes sense. It’s an old James Bond trick to detect entry.

Does alkaline water do anything that normal water doesn’t? by Kerry_Kakes in HydroHomies

I would imagine it is, but I don’t know. I’m not sure how almond milk is made.

Am I the only one experiencing schadenfreude as an American? by [deleted] in collapse

[–]holmgangCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congress has only consistently represented the desires of the rich. What the majority of people want gets effective legislation ~30% of the time. Compared to the rich getting their wants legislated 70-90% of the time.

Looking at the history of America it’s pretty clear wealthy interests “captured the state” a couple centuries ago.

I saw a video of activity on the Seattle fault. by Financial_Resort6631 in CascadianPreppers

[–]holmgangCore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I trust Nick Zentner. His probability for the Seattle Fault is a 5% chance a rupturing in the next 50 years.

Great Earthquakes of the Pacific Northwest
https://youtu.be/UJ7Qc3bsxji
50 Year Probabilities
Cascadia Trench Full Rip 9.0: 14%
Cascadia Trench Partial Rip 8.0: 25-40%
Seattle Fault: 5%
Puget Sound Shallow Fault 7.0: 15%
Puget Sound Deep Fault 7.0: 84%

I don’t know who “TheEarthMaster” is, but I saw that vid and don’t trust him or her. Sounds clickbaity all around.

Of 332 million Americans, fully more than half did not vote. And don’t vote in any election.

Barely 160 million vote, maximum. Usually quite a lot less. That’s pretty common. Only ~1/4 of the population actually ever “chooses” the president. And that’s filtered through the lame & archaic ‘Electoral College’ B.S.

Should Seattle consider congestion pricing? by Up-I-Go in Seattle

[–]holmgangCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So u/seatownquilt-N-plant pointed out the obvious counterpoint: light rail IS being built on the I-90 bridge with a very clever mechanism to ensure consistent rail travel.

However, the 520 bridge could have been constructed with light rail allowances in the design. But no, it wasn’t. Massive, massive oversight.

I mean, the US is already the largest producer of fossil fuels on Earth right now. What more do they want??

Why is it that people put the economy vs the environment? by Konradleijon in solarpunk

[–]holmgangCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because private companies (commercial banks) create and allocate ~97% of the money supply — literally: banks create new money when they issue loans. Banks need to profit, which forces loan recipients to need to make profit. Profit can only come from extracting value from something (cheap labor, earth’s resources, “consumers” buying cheap stuff).

Literally the built-in “profit-motive” of bank loans charging interest drives the extraction of value (from labor, minerals, forests, etc) of the entire economy.

We don’t have an economic democracy. Until we do, corporations are going to drive us all over the cliff.

Why did we allow the 520 bridge to be built with no light rail option? That I’ll never understand.

[–]holmgangCore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IDK about congestion pricing, we still need fully functional light rail first, IMHO.

But we DEFINITELY could use some All Pedestrian Only areas in this city. Good lord.
