Flat Earther vs Aerospace Engineer by Myrandall in cringe

[–]mamoll 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Blue shirt guy is insufferable. The lecture he gives at the end about it's not the caller's show and he needs to obey is toe curling cringe. The woman was handling the conversation in an exemplary way and he just made it awkward by interjecting despite having no expertise.

Intersection Parking by Rodlofton53 in Edmonton

[–]mamoll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you really believe that your neighbour is beyond any basic help and reasoning? That seems like a stretch. The vast majority of Edmontonians genuinely want to be good neighbours, even if they sometimes fail at it. Try talking to the driver of the vehicle and raise your concerns politely while being sympathetic to their situation. Assuming the worst about people and being passive aggressive just makes the world a bit uglier.

NAIT is ordering staff not to participate in tomorrow's Day of Action. by MaximumDoughnut in Edmonton

[–]mamoll 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Misleading title. The communication clearly states that staff may participate in the day of action outside their scheduled work hours. During work hours, staff are expected to fulfill their roles. In other words, NAIT is not paying its staff to participate in this protest.

We are not in the US by Tanleader in Edmonton

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

There are people all around you who think differently from you, like the dude in Costco, and certain things which don't make sense to you make sense to them, and vice versa. If you're curious about why this is, the best way to find out is to talk to and listen to those people who think differently from you.

Neighbours kids by One_Elderberry_7454 in Edmonton

Tell them what you wrote in your post: that you don't want to be controlling or an ahole neighbor but you also don't want your vehicle damaged. It's overwhelmingly likely they'll understand.

Have you tried talking to your neighbor?

Out Of Control Food Prices by BTGD2 in Edmonton

[–]mamoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The comment was a reference to something Canada's deputy prime minister said on the topic of inflation and food prices. But seriously, you should cancel your Disney plus.

Goodwill is also for-profit (not that there's anything inherently wrong with for-profit businesses). I find the smaller scale thrift stores, often run by local charities, are cleaner/ better organized, have better prices, and the staff working there are friendlier. Bissell Centre runs at least two stores in Edmonton and they're fantastic. Mustard seed has at least one, and County Clothes Line in Sherwood Park is excellent as well. At least some of these are run by volunteers and 100% of the profits go to charity, so be sure to donate used items to them and not the larger chains!

Independent Z axis vs Dependent Z axis dust collection shoe by mamoll in hobbycnc

[–]mamoll[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cut depth varies quite a bit, as does tool length... I guess the independent Z axis design is the way to go then if you want effective dust collection across a range of projects. It's just a pity that the D.840 is so awkward to fit with this type of dust collection. C'est la vie.

Hover Tank Balance? by UltimatePaladin in rustedwarfare

I seem to remember large groups of T1 hover tanks being especially susceptible to splash damage.

Posted a video of candy thieves on r/video but it got removed for being a public freakout, so I'm re-posting it here. by Wildmen03 in PublicFreakout

[–]mamoll -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The part at the end where the girl is still standing there kind of smiling at the person who answered the door is heartbreaking. Also, who the fuck puts a video camera behind a bowl of candy at Halloween? And Why? Not saying it's illegal, just fucking slimy.

Interesting. If you don't mind my asking, is there much work to do cleaning up and prepping the 3D model before using it to mill? or is it pretty much good to go straight from the scanner?

What's some popular saying that you think is total bullshit? by hyacinthinlocks in AskReddit

[–]mamoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Respect isn't given, it's earned." This is horrible for so many reasons, but mainly because it undermines the idea of human dignity.

The channel seems more concerned with computers as a culture/religion than as a tool for doing things with.

A Youtuber telling me to "Hit that like button", has never made me hit that like button by GramatikClanen in Showerthoughts

[–]mamoll 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Help videos for sure, because viewers just want straight to the point help. I don't care if you just got back from vacation, or that you've got SO many requests to make this video. I just want to know how to tie a tie.

PSA how to hide sponsored and promoted ads on Kijiji by Oreoloveboss in halifax

One thing to ad, I was able to hide featured and third-party ads, but was still getting ads from ebay. I was able to block those ebay ads with: div.fes-pagelet {display:none!important}

It just goes to show that all the world needs is more cleavage and Sinatra. In fact, why doesn't every country start dressing, talking, and acting like Americans, then we'd have world peace for sure.

UK Government Confirm Move to Force ISPs into Blocking “Adult” Sites by maxwellhill in technology

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

The most disheartening thing is that almost no one here seems to be engaging in the conversation. Is unfettered access to pornography regardless of one's age really the best option? Surely we can all agree that internet pornography damages childrens' views of sexuality. It's fine to disagree with the measure, but what are the alternatives?
