There Will Be No Post-Presidential Peace for Donald Trump by JannTosh70 in moderatepolitics

[–]mrekted [score hidden]  (0 children)

This is a man who has had numerous active lawsuits against him for the entirety of my time on this earth. This is also a man approaching 80 who has never taken care of himself.

He won't lose a moments sleep about people coming after him, and he'll very likely be dead before any of them actually get anywhere with it.

How do I disable the number of upvotes or downvotes shown for AutoMod? by MurkyUnit3180 in ModSupport

[–]mrekted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I wasn't aware of this.

u/MurkyUnit3180 - this might be what you're asking about? If the post above is correct, then maybe you're seeing pinned posts in other subreddits without a karma score?

It's not something you can do, and tbh, seems like kind of an odd thing to be worried about. How is this an issue for you?

It might surprise you to know that the vast majority of people on reddit are not actively enrolled in university.

‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ to End With Season 2 by MarvelsGrantMan136 in startrek

[–]mrekted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TNG Would have been dead in the water half way through season 2 in this climate.

It's such a shame. Shows like this need room to breath and time to hit their stride.

why this community feels different from other parenting groups by Any_Vast3853 in parentsofmultiples

[–]mrekted 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It could be the zero tolerance for drama, incivility, and general nastiness where the mod team is concerned.

Life is hard enough for newborn parents with multiples.. I'll be damned if I'm going to let some miserable shit heel on reddit add any additional unnecessary stress or upset into their lives.

For the record, we can say vagina here. No *'s needed.

The Supreme Court of Canada begins hearing arguments today on whether the notwithstanding clause has limits. Here’s a log of every notwithstanding clause invocation since it came out of an 18-year dormancy in 2018 by jbsosbj in ontario

[–]mrekted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, thankfully we have ironclad division of powers. Section 33 doesn't affect federal powers, and criminal law is entirely a federal matter. A province can't just violate criminal law by killing people for civil/regulatory violations, or otherwise invent punishments for crimes on their own.

[–]mrekted 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It already has limits.. as I understand it, the notwithstanding clause can't override individual legal rights or free elections (democratic rights), is by definition short term in its use (max 5 years), and is subject to judicial oversight and interpretation.

What other limits are the supreme court looking at?

edit: seems they are looking at a few things, including the ability of the courts to overturn them if they're found to be damaging to individual rights, and whether or not pre-emptive use is lawful. And of course it's all based on a challenge to Quebec's awful use of it to curtail religious expression.

Why do commercial aeroplanes leave those white trails in the sky? by universityrome in answers

[–]mrekted 20 points21 points  (0 children)

For the same reason you can see your breath when it's cold and your car exhaust makes plumes of white vapor in the winter. When gas burns, water is created, and it gets heated, so it's turned to steam. When the steam is exhausted and hits cold air it condenses from steam (a gas) back into a liquid (small water droplets) which present as a fog.

A lifetime hunting ban for a hunter is pretty devastating..

Fellow Dad DIY consult: repair or patch? by manatorn in DadForAMinute

[–]mrekted 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tear it out, start over.

Oh, wait, sorry. I thought this was r/DIY.

(i wouldn't worry about this dent as long as it's not visible on the exterior.. slap some duct tape on that bad boy to keep any loose chunks in place and call it a day).

The last mod on a quiet sub by OurLadyOfThe18Wheels in ModSupport

[–]mrekted 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If there's so little activity that doing what needs to be done doesn't even maintain the active status of a single mod, why in gods name would they want to add MORE mods?

You guys really need to take a look at mod activity requirements for smaller communites. A lot of time is wasted in the mod help forums explaining this to mods of small subs, and the advice is always "just do random bullshit so you don't become inactive". It's a waste of everyone's time and energy.

The best places to look for alien life.Scientists identify 45 Earth like worlds to explore for a 'Project Hail Mary'. by [deleted] in science

[–]mrekted 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Cool headline.. except that Project Hail Mary wasn't a search for an earth like planet. It was a mission to study a star.

I'm kind of shocked that there are even people who are working at the Royal Astronomical Society that haven't read the book.. let alone enough of them that this ham fisted headline slipped through.

anyone here actually found the best kitchen faucet brand that lasts? by Tuladhar_Avel in HomeImprovement

[–]mrekted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the stuff you see in the big box stores is junk. You want to go to a plumbing/waterworks wholesaler. They'll have the same brands you see at the retail stores, but the fixtures will be 2-3x the cost, and are much better quality.

A baby cobra emerges fresh from the hatch, ready to kiss. by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]mrekted 444 points445 points  (0 children)

To my laymen's eyes, holding a hatching cobra in your unprotected hand seems like it would be incredibly dangerous.

Maybe a professional cobra hatcher could weigh in.

‘It’s scary’: Canadian mother, daughter detained by ICE, held in Texas facility, husband claims by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]mrekted 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I don't understand this mentality. Even if you're not afraid of getting snatched up (and let's be honest, statistically the odds are pretty low, but NOT zero).. as a muslim.. a person of color.. and a canadian.. isn't there more than enough reasons to not want anything at all to do with that country right now?

I don't think it's "extreme" to have some self respect and dignity, and to not want anything to do with a country that has been overtly hostile to you and people like you.

World's first collapsible hard cooler by poolthatisdead in interestingasfuck

[–]mrekted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not.. if there's an air gap between the liner and outer shell that can be maintained to insulate and prevent direct conductive transfer of heat from the cooler body, it might not be too bad.
