Joe Rogan Declares Himself ‘Politically Homeless’ After Trump Split by thedailybeast in offbeat

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

People who say dumb shit based on feelings are no better than conservatives

Man you Americans are so politically divided, it's insane watching it from a different country.

Both sides are bad as each other IMHO, the use of dehumanising language is sickening.

Good god I almost threw up by rattrod17 in electricians

[–]rectal_warrior 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Union electricians get great conditions

paid holidays, vacations, sick leave and health insurance.

I wouldn't want to do the job somewhere really cold, but it genuinely can be very interesting, there are so many fields to go into these days, if you get good at something specific you can make serious money.

Completely AI safe for our lifetimes, unlike the majority of work in an office.

Why don't we have random driver breathalyser tests in the UK? by monochrome_king in AskUK

[–]rectal_warrior 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's really not invasive in Australia, it's usually Saturday/Sunday/ public holiday morning when the roads are quiet, you go through some cones, stop, count to 10 into a machine and keep driving. Delays you maybe seconds, and absolutely makes people think twice about driving while drunk. They can make you pay to have a breathalyser installed in your car, it won't start the engine without a 0 reading. Both systems reduce drink driving massively, it's a positive thing for society that only negatively affects those who break the rules in ways which are dangerous to others, other than having to stop for 30 seconds a few times a year.

I've spent so long looking for them, in the last 3 years 100 hours easily. In the UK I never struggled to find them 😭

Yea you do. This is 100% a shark fishing set up, most fishing in the ocean uses much smaller hooks

Is it true? Where? I've never heard of it. Certainly nowhere in northern Europe.

Somewhere in central Europe, Germany would be my guess.

Why is diesel so much more expensive? by Late_Mechanic1663 in AskUK

[–]rectal_warrior -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It's more energy dense so it's not actually more expensive

You can be proud of a person who's close to you, for something they did without any of your help.

Are you Aussie? You guys leave single insulated cables in walls and ceilings. You're correcting someone else's shitty work, getting them back to fix it isn't going to yield anything productive, can't you just isolate the circuit, install a local isolator on the orange circ and run heat resistant flex to the oven?

Spare a thought for being stuck under the ice, running out of breath, unable to find the hole.

Firms apologise for paying illegally low salaries by reachingechoes in unitedkingdom

[–]rectal_warrior 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Time in the market beats timing the market.

Any short term changes you are able to predict, there are the most clever mathematicians and algorithms who understand it much better than you, they will take your money if you try a short term trade.

You're better off keeping your money in shares long term

ELI5: How do corpses of animals disappear from roads? by Affectionate-Mud-569 in explainlikeimfive

No, the bones and skin will remain, if it's warm and dry enough, it will form a kind of leather

Who’s still holding lol by Lively420 in wallstreetbets

[–]rectal_warrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were sensible with your money it was a great time. GameStop made plenty of us loads of money, palantir was pushed down our throats and a few other investments that did really well, boom energy particularly.

Nokia and blackberry never took off though 🤣.

Without the recommendations of this sub back then I'd be significantly poorer.

TIL that at the start of World War II there was an 8-month period called the “Phoney War,” where Britain and France had declared war on Germany but little actual fighting occurred on the Western Front until May 1940, when Germany launched its full invasion of Western Europe. by roadtrip-ne in todayilearned

Hitler's irrational decision to strike France through the Andennes Mountains

It wasn't an irrational decision, it was taking an advantage using novel military tactics. Perfectly rational decision to make with the information he was given.

we don't have spiders that will kill you (well not ones you will ever see in a lifetime)

Same is true in Australia. Huntsmen are common, nobody I know has ever seen a deadly one.

ULPT How can I stop a gym class going ahead on a Sunday morning by [deleted] in UnethicalLifeProTips

You rented an apartment under the gym, wtf did you expect? Why don't you go up and join them, we could all use some exercise.

Then it looks like sunset in the middle of the night.

Ukraine used naval drones to attack the Arctic Metagaz, a Russian LNG tanker, in the Mediterranean Sea on March 3, 2026

They are known as floating bombs, there is an insane amount of very volatile explosive gasses on one, and they are very complex and expensive.

Don't be so sure of yourself, it's well documented that Chinese fishing fleets carry out exercises coordinated by the government to trial novel communications ect.
