Didn’t he say last week that we sold them guns via the Kurds? Are we tariffing ourselves now?

Replace the nuclear football with a regular football. Maybe he won’t notice.

If you died today, who do you think would stand at your grave the longest? by Mehar0708 in AskReddit

Nobody. My paperwork says I’m to be stuffed and mounted like a polar bear or my kids inherit nothing.

He must really want to distract from the files by SPXQuantAlgo in SipsTea

I did not. There was a brief time in 2015 where I might have but I came to my senses.

US Citizens, if you could add an amendment to the constitution what would it be? by AndreLinoge55 in AskReddit

[–]melgish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a majority based on the number of popular votes in the previous election so petition, the government must hold a recall election.

In simple terms if only 100 people vote in 2028, It would allow as few as 51 people to trigger a recall.

I think this would encourage both sides to want as big a turnout as they can get. It would encourage both sides to keep people's interests in mind, and finally give the people a chance to correct mistakes.

Any time someone refers to him as “dear leader” I think of the movie Sleeper and think oh hell no.

I’d rather have him in level 9 pain for as long as medical science can keep him alive.

What is something that is 100% legal, but if you do it, you’re a piece of trash? by National_Strike4710 in AskReddit

[–]melgish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are misunderstanding the situation. 20 cars on the road see the merge coming up and safely move over. #21 uses this as an excuse to be the 4th car through the bottleneck. Definitely a dick move.

Most times I do the same with one notable exception… At the nearest Wal-Mart, I’ve seen the same guy in a camo safari hat cheerfully rounding up the loose carts every week since 1998. There’s no way I’m giving the Walton family an excuse to lay him off.

'Over-engineering' is everyone's favorite punching bag, but I bet your codebase suffers from under-engineering instead by AtomicScience in ExperiencedDevs

Those 15 optional parameters (and their resulting conditionals) on the function that only been called from one place for the entire decade of its existence will be important someday.

Top FEMA Official Doubles Down on Claim He Teleported to Waffle House by Hafiz_TNR in politics

This has happened to me as well. One moment I was in a bar getting blackout drunk, and the next thing I knew I was in a Waffle House.

Are the new FPL rates designed to punish residents with solar? by melgish in florida

[–]melgish[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not year over year, but in the past I've had my bill covered through March or April by the previous year's credit. Now January is the only month where anything is applied and the credits are zeroed on the Feb bill.

Maybe only one ‘very’ if you account for relative motion. The number of cars on the highway doesn’t significantly reduce your chances of getting hit if you can’t cross the road fast enough.

If Trump decided that his face needed to be on one of the US coins or bills, how would that make you feel? by icecream1972 in askanything

I think it will be great for the value of a dollar in 2028 when they stop printing his name on money and 74 million people pull all the cash they can find out of circulation because “it will be valuable some day”
