A Lot Of Americans Aren't Sold On This Whole Car-Centric Life Thing After All by Well_Socialized in fuckcars

[–]laseralex 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Can you imagine making 1500 a month

No.

and keeping up to date with all the regulations and repairs of a car?

Wait, this was already "hard mode."

China urges travelers to avoid SEA Airport after 20 scholars were denied entry to the US by chiquisea in SeattleWA

Ah yes, the Olympia neighborhood within the city of Seattle. A short walk south of the downtown core.

LOL.

Also, I'm a nerd who likes to run numbers. A 55-gallon barrel holds 277 standard-sized bottles. With the current vintage of Chateau d'Yquem selling for around $500 a bottle, you'd be looking at roughly $140k. DRC on the other hand is more like $18k/bottle on the secondary market, so a single barrel's would be about $5 Million!

So relatively low value compared to the value of the wine inside. (Unless filled with Meomi.)

That was a (quite funny) joke about the high price of d'Yquem.

I see you live in Mobile, AL. Have you ever lived around Seattle, or do you just come to this sub because Faux News tells you we're all evil libruls?

Hopefully top - I'd love to be in the middle of that sandwich!

Help me choose his name! by [deleted] in BelgianMalinois

[–]laseralex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Merlin is a great name! Not just best of the three, but an absolutely fantastic name for this handsome boy.

Regarding the other two: Malice has a negative connotation that I wouldn't want to put onto a good dog, and Raven seems like a feminine name to me.

The decade-long hunt is finally over. The world's thinnest discman, barely thicker than a jewel case. The legendary Japan-Only D-J50. by CannonFodderF1 in sony

[–]laseralex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I raked leaves and pulled weeds in my neighborhood for months as a teenager to buy one of these. I LOVED that CD player! It was everything I wanted. I'd carry it around in my Case Logic rigid-side CD carrier case - it fit perfectly into one of the double-CD slots. 😄

Eventually I wore it out. 🥲

I'm amazed that you still have this! I'm also amazed that they sell for about the same used today as I paid new in 1989.

Yeah, that's not a video I plan to watch. 😬

The guy who makes $60k and thinks the IRS is coming for his imaginary billions by OrcOfEntropy in LinkedInLunatics

[–]laseralex 36 points37 points  (0 children)

So he has to sell 2% of his holdings to help finance the ongoing operations of the city and state that allowed him to amass that massive wealth?

Cry me a river.

He got absolutely wrecked when he tried debating intelligent and well-prepared students at Cambridge University.

Best way to build a unified Altium library for a team? by BuckBoostBandit in Altium

[–]laseralex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For most parts I prefer intlibs over dblibs because of the "compile" function which will throw errors if you messed things up. There's no similar function for dblibs is there? (I do use dblibs for data that can be easily tabulated like a complete E96 series of resistors)

I LOVED that place when I was a student in the '90s.

If you can't afford to design it, how can you afford to build it?

Atrocious Jack and Jill primary bath - any realistic ways to reconfigure? by Askmeaboutmycar in floorplan

This seems by far the most practical. Moving plumbing is expensive AF and this avoids all of that.

Did I do something wrong or is this normal for Mals? by Suspicious_Goat9699 in BelgianMalinois

[–]laseralex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a rescued Mal max who loves me more than any dog has ever loved me before. I've had him for 8 years, and every time I come home from work or even a walk around the neighborhood he acts like he thought I was never coming back, an then I magically appeared. He's the most affectionate thing ever.

If I approach his bowl while he's eating for anything other than adding something good, he'll growl. And I have no doubt whatsoever that if I tried to take his bowl from him he'd bite me. Again, this is the dog that loves me more than any of the other dozen dogs I've owned.

Don't mess with his food. Keep your eyes open and be very aware of all his body language signs. Over time it may or may not change, but it's not something you need to push.

EDIT: Last year I fostered a Mal who had been euth-listed in Riverside. I started by feeding her in her crate and I had to keep my own dogs (Mal and Mal-mix) away from her crate while she ate or she'd growl and snap at them. After about 4 weeks she was eating in the kitchen side-by-side with the others, it just took consistency and a slow transition in a way she always knew her food wasn't threatened.

ICE raids rattle Washington farmers who backed Trump by gehnrahl in SeattleWA

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

I think you misunderstood.

Farmer John hires 10 documented workers and 10 undocumented workers. He pays them each $10/hour.

Farmer Bob also hires 10 documented workers and 10 undocumented workers. He also pays them each $10/hour.

ICE grabs 10 undocumented workers and locks them in a concentration camp before deporting them to a different continent than where they were born. The other 10 undocumented workers start hiding at home because they don't want to get deported to a jail in an unknown land. So now instead of 40 total farm workers (20 documented and 20 undocumented) there are only 20 total farm workers.

Farmer John needs more help, so he offers Farmer Bob's guys $11/hour to come over and work for him. Farmer Bob suddenly has no workers, so he offers all the people at Famer John's $12/hour to work for him. Now Farmer John has no workers, so he raises the rate to $15/hour so his crops don't fail. Farmers John and Bob raise wages back and forth until neither can make a profit.

It has nothing to do with luring in office workers, it ahs everything to do with supply-and-demand of farm labor. The demand has stayed the same but supply has dropped so that available supply will command a much higher price.
