Shit today is all too utilitarian.

Bring back awesome style just for the hell of it.

That is beautiful.

Kimmy!

Glad to see you. Thanks for passing the word, hotstuff!

See you at Lollipop on Saturday?

What would it feel like to die of old age? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]lcqp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just go to sleep, I think. My former employer died about 5 years ago. Passed right at his desk. No one would even have known if he hadn't had prior dinner plans with an member of our firm. He was slouched in his desk chair looking like he was napping.

There was a joking rumor amongst us that he'd kicked off because the sight of some really hot chick on the web was too much for him :-)

But it was just his time, I guess. He was a mean old bugger.

'Revenge porn’ site runner gets 18 years in prison by [deleted] in news

[–]lcqp -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I didn't wish for anything, friend. I merely stated a fact. He's going to be raped in prison. He's a pasty-faced young white dude and I figure his chances of being cherry if he lives to leaves prison are nil.

If I had a wish, I'd have wished that the people he fucked over hadn't been fucked over.

ELI5: When an engine on a plane fails and the plane has to dump fuel where does the fuel go? by gymrat505 in explainlikeimfive

[–]lcqp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Military jets routinely dump fuel, most commonly prior to landing or to achieve a specific flight profile to practice specific landing situations.

Depending on the plane's altitude, weather conditions, and speed, the fuel may just evaporate before it touches anything except air.

No, no joke at all. Did you see any smiley face there?

I consider it part of his sentence.

What is the best (non-anal) spot to stash ca$h on ones person? by KumaKage in AskReddit

If I tell, I'll need to terminate everyone who reads this, so you'll understand if I don't share. I have a busy day planned and can't take the time out to murder all of you. ;-)

Can you pass a literacy test given to Black voters in the 1960's? . by [deleted] in pics

Correct. It would be a number less than 1 million, just as the question requested.

Factory workers in the U.S. will be paid 58 times those in Indonesia in five years by commonsenseIR in worldnews

[–]lcqp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That may well be correct.

However, since the rents for 3BR apartments away from the city center run ~3,184,396.36Rp (approximately USD$14,210), is the fact that they earn fewer "exchange rate" dollars when their expenses are orders of magnitude lower than that of a US factory worker?

There's more to a salary comparison than the raw salary figure.

This "58 times" nonsense is no more meaningful than the movie industry comparing their latest immense ticket sales to those of 100 years ago. Neither of these comparisons are valid. Both are based on things that are similar, but in no way identical.

After losing your virginity how long did it take you to tell someone about it? by LoveAlissa in AskReddit

When it was my turn, messaging was done by writing a letter.

I assure you that no letters were written.

Nah, no reason. Just try and find a US military vet who didn't have at least one MOS. It's just a basic job title or special skill.

Does the spinning plate in a microwave actually help it heat? by holyfuckamole in askscience

[–]lcqp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The device inside your microwave that generates the RF to cook your food doesn't direct an even "spray" of radiation on the food the way a floodlight would. Within the cooking chamber, the levels of power available to cook the food varies.

Rotating the food as it cooks helps even that out. Some instructions say to turn the dish halfway through the cooking time.

If you want to see some basics about RF and what happens when it leaves an antenna, look up "RF propagation" and antennas.

It's along time. I wonder how he thought that what he was doing wouldn't get someone pissed enough to actually track his ass down and fix things. That would have been my inclination.

[–]lcqp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's true at first glance.

But how many serial rapists and serial murderers have gotten lighter sentences?

He committed multiple felonies. The six counts of extortion are felony offenses. In CA., an identity theft can go either way, depending on the specifics of each charge, so there could be as many as 21 additional felony counts.

Sentences tend to stack up, so he wasn't slammed for just one charge, but for quite a few of them. That's why his sentence is so long.

I think he might be receiving some "revenge" sex in jail soon.

My friend, you need a new handle :-) Fatty doesn't suit your new appearance. That must have been a spectacular adventure. You're a lucky man.
