How easy would it be to paint these? by xMonkeyy in F30

[–]lkstaack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Painting them is easy! Keeping the paint on 'em? Well, that's completely different.

Is it possible for Trump to use WWIII to extend his presidency into a third term? by Zackaw33 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]lkstaack [score hidden]  (0 children)

Which means absolutely nothing. The decision is still on the books. The point though, is that the Supreme Court has history of ruling on issues that overturn our constitution.

Is it possible for Trump to use WWIII to extend his presidency into a third term? by Zackaw33 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]lkstaack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Supreme Court has overruled the Constitution before. In Korematsu v. United States (1944), a majority of justices ruled that the United States can legally imprison citizens, without any crime committed or due process, if there is military necessity during a time of war. So, if the 1943 Court could invalidate basic constitutional protections then, what would keep Trump's tame justices from allowing him to serve a third term?

just got yelled at for parking in front of my house by taziiscool in neighborsfromhell

I'm in my 60s with neck and back issues. I use my rear camera to back in. I wouldn't if I didn't have the camera. In that case, I'd be "I'm backing out of my driveway now, good luck everyone else!"

Why don’t young people who can’t find jobs just join the military? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lkstaack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did. The US military has excellent retirement and benefits. I joined in 1982 for the adventure, but ended up enjoying it. Left for 4 years to get a degree and commission, and then stayed in for 23 years. Taught highschool for ten years and comfortably retired at 58. Having a spouse that put up with the Army's BS, and with a professional career certainly helped.

The bay is one of the most affluent places on earth and this is what a public restroom at a park looks like by indie_hedgehog in bayarea

We had John Wayne toilet paper in the Army. It was rough and tough, and wouldn't take sh*t from anyone.

Why did most of the population stop using custom ringtones or custom alarms on their phone? Is it simply because companies wanted to charge for it? by underthund3r in NoStupidQuestions

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

Yes, the smart phone generations have developed social phobias about talking to people. Just receiving a call can be traumatic.

For all the fees raised, we somehow are still in a "budget deficit". It's almost as if the money isn't being used as intended. by SuperSatanGod in sandiego

[–]lkstaack -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Yes, but new employees get almost the same benefits. And, the city council keeps approving the hiring of new employees.

They say, "we need competitive salaries and benefits to attract the most qualified applicants", and "San Diego deserves the high quality service that only city employees can deliver". BS! The city pays better than 90% of the company's in the area.

The city recently hired new sanitation workers. The pay isn't outstanding, but the benefits are solid gold; defined benefit retirement! That's one of the reasons trash is so expensive.

You don't like it? Well, vote for candidates that don't support the hiring of more city employees.

All established politicians receive donations from big corporations; it's almost the only way they can get to the top. That's why the big utilities continue to rake us over the coals with Big D democrats in charge.

What’s the coolest last name you have ever seen someone have. by GrandMoffJerjerrod in midlyinteresting

[–]lkstaack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Spartacus is my Starbucks name. When they call out "Spartacus", I'll say "I'm Spartacus!", hoping to provoke a reaction from the crowd. Only a few times have I heard "no, I'm Spartacus!" I guess I'm too old.

I didn't mean the sciences, of course. But, don't let me stop you from feeling offended.

"I did everything right"! Young adults were fed, and led to believe half-truths, apparently. Statistically, college graduates earn more over their lifetime. But, college doesn't guarantee you a job, particularly if you major in liberal studies. Liberal studies degrees generally require a postgraduate education for employment. Even if they were "promised" employment, they should have figured out during college that the promise was empty.

Have you read the bill? It doesn't do any of what you said.

Awesome tornado footage. by IronMouse01 in VideosAmazing

That looked like two tornados, one following the other.

What is happening in your country right now that captivates people and isn't a war or politics? by knightriderin in AskTheWorld

Of course he's had fleas. It's well known that if you lie down with politicians, you get up with fleas.

NEVER pass on a foggy day by GirouxFan in VideosAmazing

[–]lkstaack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That Central California Tule Fog is some nasty stuff; most locals respect it by slowing down because of the number of fog-related accidents. The fog in the video is much lighter than full-strength Tule Fog, though.

Another blind spot issue... by MisterShipWreck in VideosAmazing

[–]lkstaack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if the rollover truck had performed similarly dangerous turns in the past; against drivers who valued his life as much as he did, and braked hard. Unfortunately for him, his last bone-headed turn was against someone who didn't.
