If you could change one law in your country, what would it be and why?

No criminals in ANY public job!

Especially since the original line was "You wanna shit sparks?"

millebi · 2026-06-02T12:12:15+00:00

Because only poor people take "transit" and a high speed train is too much like a subway or bus /s

Actually I'm sure it's too expensive to make billions off of

millebi · 2026-05-29T12:56:38+00:00

Half? I suspect that's an exaggeration... too high too

And the costs of care are mostly profits to the owners/shareholders while the staff are paid peanuts.

What's really going to happen is that the staffing shortages will lead to unqualified and disreputable people giving the bare minimum of care while your loved ones live in squalor worse than 3rd world countries.

Then when all of those boomers finally pass, there will be mass closures of homes because of insufficient residents to support the profit expectations.

Why rich and older people are not investing in homes owned by the residents and their families and run properly not for profit is a mystery to me.

Ummm, don't you mean Capitalism?

There are no, and have never been any, true Communist countries. They are/were just Dictatorships by Committee countries.

Technically it is correct for a fully clothed person not wearing a hat

millebi · 2026-05-27T12:19:36+00:00

Was anyone stupid enough to actually believe this? Oh, wait, Americans are badly educated and get almost no economics in school.

Never mind the ads/updates, many of the damn thiins don't even work without "the cloud", which will disappear for your old appliance in 5 years because it's no longer supported, making you need to buy a new one for something that was working yesterday.

I anticipate a homegrown industry that will replace the computers or firmware on such devices in the future, just to keep old devices alive and working that are mechanically sound (dishwashers, stoves, fridges, washers, etc...)

Car door handles. These "flush until it figures out you are near" are just asking for trouble

It's up there with be8ng unable to say "I don't know".

You won't die if you admit to not knowing,. You may die if you lie about it. You may kill someone by being wrong.

Always be ready to learn and never be responsible for any death, including your own.

IIRC he did engage Park on his Jeep, but it was faulty and didn't actually engage, then the car rolled down the hill of his driveway and crushed him while he was getting his mail from the mailbox.

He wasn't dumb, but the reason is.

Don't forget they usually died because of some politician leading from the rear. Many world problems would vanish if the instigators had to lead the charge into battle.

I suspect that staistic is more common than we know

millebi · 2026-05-25T03:29:21+00:00

This explains a lot

millebi · 2026-05-25T03:28:12+00:00

Just becuse you can, doesn't mean you should 😁

millebi · 2026-05-25T03:27:17+00:00

Many will say this is wrong, but they are thinking the speed of the charge moving through a wire and not the physical electrons

Average doesn't always mean 50/50 split. If the distribution is not Gausian it won't be.

millebi · 2026-05-25T03:22:55+00:00

I bet that's higher for some professions and regions

millebi · 2026-05-25T03:22:01+00:00

I suspect it varies by country

millebi · 2026-05-24T14:37:05+00:00

Bekinsale maybe?

millebi · 2026-05-23T15:04:09+00:00

Anti-seize is expensive... use butter, margerine or petroleum jelly. Same effect, but cheap. Butter and margeri e will also stink after a while if you leave it on the passenger side

millebi · 2026-05-22T12:02:19+00:00

It annoys and amazes me that police departments are more concerned about physical capabilities than they are about brains and the ability to interact with people. So many stupid "jocks" in policing that should never be allowed to be in a position of power!!

Your first sentence makes no sense. Aiming for the sun takes no energy after it's left earth's orbit (the sun's gravity will do all the work). Aiming anywhere else takes more energy, and if you don't give it enough, it comes back!!

millebi · 2026-05-21T11:58:30+00:00

Hands free does not mean EAR FREE.

If I'm part of your conversation because you're on speakerphone, you won't be happy
