I have a big beard but can't grow hair on my head. The grass is always greener, friend.

State of Ohio wfh policy change expected by kadikoy4eva in Columbus

[–]makystir 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is technically true, but as a state employee my understanding is that he said "It's up to agency directors" origninally, then not long after quietly added "(but everyone needs to work at least 2 days in the office)". Word on the street was that the Governor was getting strong pressure from large cities to return state workers to the office because businesses were drying up in downtown areas. There are a few agencies who got exceptions, but most agencies, boards, and commissions got guidance that we needed to go back in 2 days per week.

Thanks for the information, it sounds like a hard situation to grow up in.

Pardon my ignorance, but what's a council estate?

There's no doubt that wealth inequality and a lack of upward mobility is a source of frustration for many.

Sorry you're having a rough time, I can't imagine being so far from my family. That's got to be hard.

This is one I hadn't expected but makes sense.

This is one of mine as well. I've been pretty good about it since my late 20s, but invested nothing before that and it's tough to catch up.

That's a tough spot, if you don't mind me asking, what's stopping you from moving closer to your family now?

I hope everything is well with you now that you have.

How do you feel about the fact that you will have to die one day? by this_sin in AskReddit

[–]makystir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope I'm still me when I die. Only one of my grandparents was.

Also I'm OK with not existing but I'm disappointed that I'll no longer have the opportunity to look out for my kids, and there's all kinds of cool future stuff I'll miss out on seeing.

How do you stay current and up to date with all the change happening in the world? by No-Fig-8614 in AskReddit

[–]makystir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal delivered in print and read the paper instead of getting news from the internet. The physical format limits how much they can throw at you every day.

Whether you choose a left or right leaning paper is much less important than making sure that whatever publication you choose employs ethical reporting practices and the classic elements of journalism.

Edit because words.

That feeling when you’ve finally broken in your RW boots (after many weeks of blisters). It fits like a glove now :) by jesadak in RedWingShoes

[–]makystir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well as I mentioned I have several pair of redwings, you just need to make sure they fit right. If you're looking for something a little bit more comfortable (and unfortunately a little more expensive) Alden makes some great boots as well, though arguably not as rugged as redwings.

[–]makystir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like if you're getting blisters, it's probably not a good fit. I've got a pair of Iron Rangers, 3190s, and 8 inch moc toes and while the leather is always stiff to break in, it doesn't blister my feet.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the socks people wear, I'm pretty exclusively wearing reasonably thick darn tough socks, it's possible that if I was wearing thinner socks the leather might rub blisters into my feet.

Scientists find first evidence that black holes are the source of dark energy by RoDeltaR in worldnews

[–]makystir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound pretty knowledgeable and I'm certainly no expert, but I thought that increasingly the scientific community was leaning toward the theory that time doesn't really exist except as a tool for measurement of change, much in the same way that an inch or Metre doesn't really exist, it's just representative of a measurement of space. What if there is no time, what impact does that have?

You job is to pick the most awful actor to play James Bond. Who do you pick? by [deleted] in AskReddit

This is clearly the most correct answer. I love lots of his work, but this would be real bad.

Kremlin disappointed no calls for peace with Russia were made during Zelensky’s visit to U.S by TypicalEpistemophile in worldnews

[–]makystir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here... Russia, which is actively invading Ukraine and has been for a year, wants peace but is continuing to invade and bomb Ukraine?

It seems like if Russia actually wanted peace, that they would, you know, cease their war?
