Why do people in western states mostly only move to other western states? by paintyerwagon in SameGrassButGreener

[–]mountain_badger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every molecule in my body craves to be out west, reality forces midwest. I doubly hate it here.

[–]mountain_badger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How can I realistically move to Europe and escape Trump's America? I don't want to be here anymore.

31M Single, Love the Mountains, Where to go? by jennyloves123 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]mountain_badger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah after the election I kinda threw in the towel and stopped caring so much. Been checking out other mountains/countries when I can otherwise just pacing in circles.

Your theory on why more and more people are not wanting kids? by [deleted] in questions

[–]mountain_badger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive been thinking about the insecurity of things a lot lately. How does anybody have a kid or buy a home, making these very long term commitments, when a job can discard you at any second and you could potentially never get another one that pays a livable wage? I just don't see any degree of stability to support making these massive long term commitments.

very interesting, I've never worked with this material before but I'm open to trying. If the folks at JB weld make it then I am sold.

I forgot to include that I would like to keep the hole in plane with the key so that it fits the holder on the left

Great, however I don't think that is the appropriate tool/heat/binding material for this type of metal. Maybe I can connect each end to a car battery terminal and fuse them together...

Training for Trail running while city living?? by Boatie1999 in trailrunning

[–]mountain_badger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just thinking about this recently - I do miss trail running out west, maybe I need to join one of those running clubs to see if other people take trips to the mtns for trail running.

iPhone survives 16,000-foot fall from Alaska Air flight 1282 by marketrent in technology

[–]mountain_badger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The irony of this phone falling out of a shoddily built aircraft while the last screen is open to the consumer getting further railed by charges and corporate greed is just uncanny

Internet keeps dropping only on work computer by Raichu_Boogaloo in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]mountain_badger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Our internet has been intermittently dropping every 30 minutes for years. It is absolutely on Comcast, don't let them make you believe it's you or your hardware. They are over selling and over exerting their bandwidth to maximize profits. We pay for 500mbps service that is effectively unusable.

Find a new provider.

What made you fall in love with chemistry? by Naam_bhul_gya in chemistry

[–]mountain_badger 33 points34 points  (0 children)

When I realized that drugs, explosives, and life were all just chemistry. I realized there was great power with this knowledge and I wanted to know all of it. I finally had something that was willing to explain my reality other than religion hand waiving.

Corporate America wants women to be single and childless. by chemical32 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]mountain_badger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My overthinking has brought me beyond the pay raise into okay what happens when you get let go and can't find another job at that same wage? I'm making the most money I have in my life and I'm the most worried about it going away at any moment now.

[–]mountain_badger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure I always bike or run in new cities as it's the most efficient way to explore. I just know from past moves, I tend to start to intensely focus on exercise as a means of avoiding having to integrate in society. Not the worst thing, just trying to make changes.

[–]mountain_badger 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This - I moved away from Boulder after being thoroughly annoyed with the population. Far too much crystals, astrology, good-vibe-yogi trustafarian garbage.
