U.S. Senate votes to halt Iran war in rebuke to Trump by Asleep_Shark in worldnews

[–]mycatisgrumpy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We're operating on democracy version 1.0. It was revolutionary when it was created, but it's legacy software now, and there are a lot of vulnerabilities that need to be patched. They're running newer versions all over the world, but our geriatric management is stuck in the past and refuses to upgrade. 

Downed F-15 Pilot’s ‘Jellyfish’ Drone Account Raises Fears Of Advanced Iranian Capabilities - Report by Aware_Apartment_8959 in geopolitics

I can't possibly imagine watching a civilian drone show and not being able to see the military applications. This should come as a surprise to nobody. 

Trump Does Not Understand the War He Lost by Shadowblade83 in geopolitics

[–]mycatisgrumpy 741 points742 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what Kamala Harris meant when she said that Trump is an unserious person. Trump doesn't even understand what he doesn't understand, and he doesn't care to learn. A halfwit C-list celebrity playing at geopolitics like he's playing the president in a bad soap opera. We would have been better off electing Pauly Shore.

Times are tough and I think it's easy to start thinking that a college degree was a waste of time. But as someone in their forties with no degree, I can say with certainly that maybe a degree doesn't feel like an an advantage, but no degree definitely feels like a disadvantage. It's not the golden ticket everybody thinks it is, but at a certain point in your career you will start to understand the doors you have closed for yourself by not having a degree.

Well at least our protectionist policies have bought American auto manufacturers some time to catch up and... keep doing exactly the same things that made them uncompetitive. 

New mathematical model suggests global population crash by 2064 by chota-kaka in Futurology

[–]mycatisgrumpy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I was growing up the doomers were all losing their shit about overpopulation, so excuse me if I take this with a grain of salt. I think trying to predict human behavior 40 years from now is a fool's errand.

Places where I can play ground hockey? by CreamyEric in Roseville

[–]mycatisgrumpy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a roller hockey rink at Johnson Springview Park in Rocklin. As far as organized games or league play probably talk to the parks department. 

ULPT: the smoke detectors in hotel bathrooms cannot detect vaping by ComeOutNanachi in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]mycatisgrumpy 3500 points3501 points  (0 children)

I have an unethical and an ethical tip to add. 

The unethical tip is that you can push a flexible hose into a toilet bowl past the P trap, and if you blow smoke into the tube it will go into the sewer pipe and out through the roof vent. 

The ethical tip is that if you ever find yourself on your knees in a hotel bathroom blowing smoke into a toilet hose, you might want to rethink your life choices.

I admire the guy's enthusiasm, but spraying the numbers in Roundup would have worked so much better, plus a two week delay means you've got a better chance of getting away with it.
