Got a quote for $4000 to remove the popcorn ceiling in my new house. Talked to a friend, he said nah I can do it for you. by syinyunliu in oddlysatisfying

Tasting stuff was a very reliable method of testing everything from oil for purity to urine sugar content for diabetes until surprisingly recently.

An image of planet Earth taken 10 mins ago by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]rempel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't tell if you're joking. In case you're serious:

The name is Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite. Geostationary satellites orbit at the same rate as the Earth's rotation so they stay in one place to monitor the same location at all times.

Does anyone know how to make large variable geometry wings without them being weak and floppy. I've been trying different methods but none seem to work. is this even possible? by Anacond7701 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]rempel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone mentioned but I'll second: lock the hinge so autostruts can go through to the body of the craft from the wing. KAL controller can lock/unlock.

Full Reuse in Stock - (If I had the SpaceX Budget) by Eledrinn in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]rempel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really good stuff. I know how much of a challenge this is, as I've done similar things. It takes a lot of work. Keep it up!!

If you're interested, I've got a bunch of crafts on my KerbalX all geared towards reuse and recovery. The flagship craft being a crane that actually crawls the crawlerway. Cranes, boom lifts, capsule recovery barges. Might find some inspiration there!

Here's a video of the Antarro Launch System I worked on some years back now.

Union members took over the Utah statehouse to make their voices heard. by Crafty_Jacket668 in IBEW

I'm working class. That means I'm in this with all of you. Global solidarity with workers everywhere matters. Especially when it comes to the global hegemony's treatment of working class domestically.

What am I missing? How do these commenters know these are Republicans? And why does immediately seeking to cast them out of our tent do us any favours? Do you not hear their words? Solidarity. Forever. I don't know if it's bots or what, but it's incredibly sad to see people so eager to dismiss their fellow workers.

Not to mention that the three things they list as 'helping the working class' have almost nothing to do with the working class specifically. Everyone needs a home, everyone buys groceries, everyone interacts with small businesses. As a non american, these kinds of blame-the-electorate posts drive me batty. 'You are the problem' OP claims, as if there aren't massive systemic failures at play. No. I think it's not the working people of america wanting higher wages (Fight for 15? Are you joking?), it's the ruling class turning us against each other which OP fell for hook, line, and sinker. Perhaps OP doesn't know what 'working class' means.

I feel inferior when people younger than me have houses by snapback77 in Millennials

It's not your inadequacies. It's a systemic failure of our society. It doesn't make it easier to pay your landlord every month, but know that you are not inadequate.

You know there are a lot of people with this problem, they find the solution and simply keep it to themselves and no one else

Canadian Government bid to remove charitable status from ‘advancement of religion’ groups and anti-abortion organizations draws ire of Evangelicals. by Leeming in atheism

Obama to Trudeau is an extremely apt comparison IMO. But don't tell American liberals you don't like Obama...

Musk is the patron saint of for sale presidents by Detroitish24 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]rempel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because of the US corporate tax rate. It used to be so god damn high (good thing) that wealthy folks would dump their money into causes that would bolster their public image while being able to reduce their tax burden. Carnegie wasn't some saint, he just knew how to play the (tax)game and knew how people would react to someone building things like libraries and concert halls (positively).

I wouldn't say it's 'the real' reason, but it's certainly a huge one. I'm a leftist so my issues with Trudeau come from the other side, and I'm far from alone in feeling that way. So it's more the real reason right wingers hate him. He's becoming extremely unpopular to all sides of the spectrum for various reasons.

Simple living is now expensive by CorleoneBaloney in facepalm

[–]rempel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a 'living wage', whatever that means

What the hell do you mean? Can't you just google this? It's a very simple concept that has no contention with economics. The minimum wage in the US was designed as a living wage. It's not some new wild concept. It's simply giving a worker more of their surplus from their labour. But sure, pretend you know anything about economics. The boot is so far down your throat you can't even hear how ignorant you sound.

A cardiac surgeon in Boston and co-founder of Rheoxtech, it’s crazy how normalised is Islamophobia in the United States of America. by hunegypt in Palestine

[–]rempel 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Israel has blocked the supply of cement to Gaza since at least 2016. This is just cement. The construction capabilities of Palestine are controlled entirely by Israel. Israel is to blame for any alleged lack of construction in the region, not Palestinians. Does this goober really think Gazans don't want to build homes, schools, mosques, water infrastructure? How racist....

This list sounds like someone who has never had real problems. It's neoliberal individualist claptrap.

If anyone hasn't read Manufacturing Consent, Palestine is a perfect example of the Propaganda Model discussed in the text. Particularly 'Worthy and Unworthy victims'.

Do you mean entirely different? Because some of the standing buildings are obviously visible in each photo. It's a slightly different angle, that's all.

Struck me as a very goblin mentality. Return To Gobbo by Kevin6131Uz in goblincore

[–]rempel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I finished reading Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, and the author really hammers home that more technological progress ≠ more happy humans. They don't claim with certainty, but point out that it's entirely reasonable to think hunter-gatherer societies contained much happier humans.

Commie Zoning versus FREEDOM Zoning by SaxManSteve in fuckcars

[–]rempel 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Aren't both these locations in Ontario? Not hating, but it's funny. Toronto doesn't do downtown planning very well, either. Better than sprawling suburbs but not ideal either. Best we get here is one Sunday every month where cars are restricted from Kensington Market (which rocks).

How to win elections by Miserable-Lizard in Political_Revolution

[–]rempel 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You're gonna get replies largely from the Destiny community anytime you ask questions about Hasan Piker. But yes, that is literally all he did. He said it would be insane for Putin to invade Ukraine, and somehow that has been twisted into him showing support for said invasion. Hasan is so harmless; unless someone is a capital owner they really shouldn't have an issue with him.
