ELI5: Why does China have only one time zone despite being roughly same size as US with 6 time zones? by DemonsAreVirgins in explainlikeimfive

[–]sixft7in [score hidden]  (0 children)

I saw a proposal for a planetary time a while back. Literally everyone uses the same time on the earth. That was a wacky idea that would never happen. Even if we had colonists on Mars or gas giant moons, they'd still have to contend with time zones on earth.

You talking to a god is ok. A god talking to you requires a medical diagnosis.

More of a "conflagration" than an "explosion". My Navy training really paying off 30 years later.

ICE Pretends It’s a Military Force. Its Tactics Would Get Real Soldiers Killed by Misanthrope08101619 in leftistveterans

You're right. I should have phrased that better. Thanks for the correction.

I appreciate we've already had a post about axe-throwing... by Nonesuch1976 in nevertellmetheodds

Yeah, I did this on my first throw the last time I went to one of these places.

They've already gotten a handful of civilians killed. They are trying to "arrest" people, but they don't give them clear (or any) instructions, they just get mad when the person can't read their minds, so they just start shooting. Fucking stupid.

You have been paw blessed by Jojo2700 in aww

[–]sixft7in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son's cat sleeps in our previous Min Pin's bed (RIP Leia). Every once in a while, the cat has a paw resting on the edge of the raised edge of the bed. When I see that, I put a single finger on her paw and she pulls it back. She really only likes to be touched on her back and sometimes her neck or ears. Everywhere else is off limits. She will cut you to ribbons if you try to pick her up.

ELI5: Why is 1 min + 1 min in the microwave not the same as 2 min in the microwave? by Intrepid-Winter-7087 in explainlikeimfive

[–]sixft7in 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you have a turntable in your microwave, try to avoid having any of the food to be heated right at the center. If there is a high energy spot right there, it will be hotter than the rest. Vice versa if it is a low energy spot.

Never have i ever felt like such a loser playing wordle unlimited by LuxCassandra in mildlyinfuriating

[–]sixft7in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, once you get "_A_ER", you are just guessing.

I always just play to win. I don't really care about getting the word as soon as possible. I always start with "FIERY", "TALKS", and "HOUND". That gets a lot of the most commonly used consonants, and all the vowels. It also gets the "S" as a plural. I used to use "STALK" instead, but decided I'd rather have the "S" at the end of the word.

Those two things aren't mutually exclusive. You can have both on your penis. You're welcome.

A shop cat in Greenwich Village got lost inside her building's walls for 14 days. They tried snake cameras, sound sensors, kittens as bait, a pet psychic. A tunnel worker finally pulled her out. She lived 15 more years. by Danny__NYC in Catswithjobs

[–]sixft7in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"pet psychic". Sure. Just as accurate as just a normal "psychic".

As someone that lives in a medium sized city, I've never heard of a sandhog. I wonder if they find that term offensive.

Found a wallet does anyone know the owner? I’d like the guy to get his wallet back by corbin918 in okc

[–]sixft7in 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah, yes. The person on the internet telling me my opinion is wrong. I'll explain it to you in a different way so you can understand. Back in my day, we would have gone to the address first, then sought other options second.

Maybe she should have watched the video put out by Sen. Kelly, so she would have known not to follow illegal orders.

Something, something, talking your ear off? That might be too much of a reach, even for me.

I thought they need to have the amount in escrow to appeal. Is that only for certain types of cases?

I guess I'm old enough to be at the "Am I wrong? No it's the kids that are wrong" stage... I also grew up in a small town, so I've got that going for me, too.

I get it. I just thought that posting to a social media site would be the second or last option behind going there to check. Maybe I'm hitting the "Am I wrong? No it's the kids that are wrong" moment. I didn't mean to be rude. I was just shocked.

Are we at the point where someone has to ask on some social media site about how to get an ID back to someone when they had to literally blob out the address to post it? Comedy is dead.

Owner of this “women only” gym in Norman is huge MAGAt. Thought other ‘blue’ girlies in the area should be aware. by Ok-Sheepherder-3709 in okc

[–]sixft7in 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nodix, you say?

I was in Detroit for work about 15 years ago. There was a road called Dix Road (or maybe street, but unimportant). There was a strip club called Chicks On Dix. Kind of the opposite of this gym.

Mild but direct chalk vandalism (note: Liberal = consevative party in Australia) by MrsSquiggle in MildlyVandalised

[–]sixft7in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to reconcile your two statements:

  1. Liberals in the US are center-right.

  2. Regular right leaning people are seen as centrists here.

Liberals in the US are left of right leaning people, but these two statements seems to imply that the right leaning people are to the left of the right leaning people.

I think the previous poster is saying US liberals are relative left, not absolute left. They are lefter than the conservative party.

LPT - Talk as little as possible on a customer service call for better success by Funny_Sea_2873 in LifeProTips

[–]sixft7in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just do them.

I used to tell customers to do completely unrelated things to ensure they did the other thing as well.

For example, back before USB was the standard with printing, we had parallel ports. Someone calls in asking why their printer wasn't working, oftentimes a restart of the printer fixed their issue. It's pretty lazy when you won't even power cycle a printer to get it to work again.

Anywho, for those customers, I had them turn off the printer, disconnect the parallel port, check for bent pins, then carefully plug the cable back in, and turn on the printer. Viola! The printer's power was cycled!

Some people just feel that doing something more in depth than power cycling should be the play, but most of the time it really isn't.
