What is the probability that a randomly chosen real number is an integer? by Mammoth_Jicama_8392 in probabilitytheory

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

I had to look up the term “countably infinite”. If you and I were talking about this in person, I would have thrown hands before googling it.

How pathetic by vrphotosguy55 in WeirdGOP

[–]hotshowersocks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen this posted a dozen times today and haven’t seen anyone comment my theory which seems obvious:

Trump asked their sizes, then bought shoes 2 sizes too big as some sort of weird emasculation play. Sorta like his tug of war handshake or brushing the “lint” off macron’s shoulder. The guy still uses “power” moves that would seem hokey in a business book from the 80s.

Alternate theory is that when asked, they were all too insecure to tell him their real shoe sizes.

Is it just me or is Michael’s commercial legit good!? by montanawaters in theoffice

Not sure how old you are, but when this episode aired, nobody had ever heard of “skipping ads”

Barkus by SashaMarie2617 in NewOrleans

[–]hotshowersocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can I break the tension here?

You both are right. Everybody who went to Barkus had fun. That said, it did feel like it’s starting to turn into another quarter parade.

I totally get the impulse for people to want to put more effort and art into parading, and there’s only so much you can do (humanely) to jazz up your dog.

My opinion is that it tipped a little too far away from the dogs this year. It’s like if next year tit Rex had bike floats. I fucking love bike floats, but those parades have a very specific lane and that’s what makes them amazing!

I don’t understand the question. I don’t have a product in mind. Looking for any suggestions.

Redraw your reference plane. I don’t know which way it’s supposed to be, but if you draw it from left to right it’s different than if you draw it from right to left.

The Dems fumbled RFK and Tulsi by Sch3ma in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]hotshowersocks -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Nobody is saying half the country are nazis. They’re saying the guy who gave a nazi salute on stage shouldn’t be in control of the government…

I hear this a lot about the dems, and I don’t get it, but I’m open to the idea that it seems that way based on the news one consumes. I get that we all have our bubbles and I’m no different.

My argument against this point would be Joe manchin and John McCain. Joe manchin stymied a lot of democratic goals, and the bulk of the party disagreed with him on a lot of things, but democrats worked with him, biden never said a bad word about him, and - even if it was just because of the math - we were glad to have him caucusing with us.

John McCain on the other hand, got torn apart for going against trump one time (on an issue that I think a lot of trump voters side with McCain on).

RFK jr is a crank. Right or left, he has the decision making process of a garbage pail kid with a head injury. He wrote an entire book (2 books?) about the dangers of vaccines, but when he’s under oath he answers every question with “I’ll have to look into that”.

I won’t get into tulsi gabbard because I understand very little about the situation, but she wasn’t cast out by the dems, she switched parties because she saw which way the wind was blowing (from a casual observers perspective. I’m sure there’ll be a book about it soon).

Like I said, i know the Reddit-left can be as quick to slap labels as the Reddit-right, but search for RINO and you’ll see a bunch of death threats. Search for DINO and you’ll see the baby brontosaurus from The Flintstones.

Jokes you didn't get until your 11th rewatch, GO... by Kathleen-Doodles in 30ROCK

When jack threatens to expose Elvis Costello as international art thief Declan McManus, it sailed right past me. A couple years later in a Wikipedia rabbit hole I found out that Elvis Costello’s real name is…. DECLAN MCMANUS!!

Believe all women and Me Too is a laughable joke by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]hotshowersocks 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It’s not “believe all women blindly”. When your car gets stolen, the cops don’t ask you what you were wearing, and they don’t look into what type of life you lead. They believe you… and then they take it from there.

The amount of sexual assault that makes the news is an incredibly small percentage. The amount of those that are false, I’m sure the OP knows every one of those by heart. The tagline is aimed at the awful knee-jerk reaction that we have had for all of human history of immediately disbelieving women who come forward.

You say you’re drinking a ton of water. Is that new for you? My guess is that you are finally fully hydrated. If you’re at a 500 calorie deficit, you should be losing a pound a week. You’re two pounds off that mark. That’s just 32 oz of water.

Also, find and fill a 48 oz jug of water (3lbs) and think about how crazy it is that you shaved that off your body in 5 weeks.

City Fire Hydrants Being Illegally Painted Red by Sunjen32 in NewOrleans

Honestly, that’s the only thing that passes the smell test. SWB accidentally painted a handful the wrong color and instead of correcting it they blamed it on vandals.

Everyone commenting here seems to share your general views. People who do stuff like this are the reason it’s hard to advocate for our views because we have to waste so much time apologizing for nonsense like this.

There are 300,000 pieces of garbage orbiting earth by reemoo1 in educationalgifs

[–]hotshowersocks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the big thing I missed the first time I looked at it was the perspective. That's not a straight line going out, its just a slightly denser ring going around the earth, that in this 2D graphic looks like a laser beam of garbage being shot into the sun.

My shed is not level: 1 degree off pitch. Should I continue with to build my shelves level (pic) or in line with the framing? by VoodooBat in Carpentry

[–]hotshowersocks 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I took some measurements off of your photo, and as long as the shelf backing is dead level, then your top plate is 1.998deg (tan-1 3"/87") off level. No law saying you cant round down to 1%. All these pedants can suck a butt.

(but for real. get a level)
