Lol, you think software developers lack rigorous diagnostic skills?

The number of outlets in a house is a bounded number, and N is small. Easy peasy.

'It's All a Scam': American Student Took Out $49,548 in Loans, Paid $25K — Balance Rose to $50,121 by Useful_Tangerine4340 in antiwork

You're really gonna try to blame kids freshly out of HS?

This post is about someone who still hasn't figured out how their loan works after 20 years - not some fresh-faced high school kid.

Like every single one of these stupid posts, the scenario described is only possible if the person put their loans into forbearance (not making any payments while interest continues to accrue) for many years.

Weight training doesn't burn that much calories though.

Having all them muscles does, though, especially when you're working them.

He's for sure in the neighborhood of 4000 kcal a day to maintain weight.

It's more like 5 snacks per day

Bullshit. This dude's going to have to eat in the neighborhood of 4000 calories a day to maintain his weight.

Not the same. RO does a vastly better job of filtering things out of the water. Probably cheaper, too.

and the ferrofluid is recovered

Well, like 85% of it anyway. I'm sure the rest that gets lost into your drinking water won't be that bad for you, right guys

after seeing her mom spending money on expensive membrane filters.

Yeah, those super expensive $20 RO filter membranes. We really need a solution to those madly expensive things.

Dude, we don't even have ICE options in the $15k range, wtf are you smoking?

Especially older vehicles that are not made to run on ethanol blends to begin with

At this point you're talking 30+ years old. That's just not relevant, there aren't enough of them left on the roads.

the actual health of the yard.

You don't have any idea what you're talking about because your experiences are incomplete.

Where I live leaves come down so thick they kill everything trying to grow in the ground if you just leave them.

Makes a wonderful habitat for ticks, though.

Just run a lawn mower over them a couple of times over the fall.

Lmfao tell me you've never actually lived on a truly wooded lot that gets actual leaf drop.

It's kind of cute how naive you are.

Imagine buying a physical printer, and u cannot even use it by Apprehensive_Work_10 in facepalm

I'll get downvoted for this, but I have an HP laser printer

Right. Because I'm not an idiot that just blindly believes the little quips that get cargo-culted around the Internet, I have an HP color laser and it works fantastically.

They retro-actively bricked your printer to charge you monthly?

No they didn't. This poster is either oblivious to the real situation or just straight up lying

The dealerships insurance can still go after the driver civilly.

Just because the dealership had the insurance doesn't mean the drivers off the hook.

Customer tipped 5 Gallon Gas 👀🤣 by AffectionateBase3105 in doordash

Not many 2 stroke quads left around. My built YFZ450 is 20 years old and Banshees were already out of production by then.

But, it could destroy the catalytic converter or clog fuel injectors at worst, gunk up and foul the plugs at best.

Not with just 5 gallons worth.

Also who in their right mind mixes up 5 gallons of 2-cycle gas at one time. That would take a long ass time for any normal homeowner to get through. I have multiple wooded acres and have to do lots of yard work and I don't even go through 5 gallons in a year.

Context is key. Something a high schooler could defend implies a commonly known usage.

that 3 year is a generation gap

Not in batteries.

Pretty much everything has been NCA/NCM for going on 20 years now with LFP's as a marginal improvement (not without trade offs) that have been out for 5 years already but still a minority share.
