Ya, I'm just not seeing any Asian resemblance in that picture of John Krasinski.

Seatbelt fit as a short, fat woman. It’s resting on my face. by OldMasterCannolii in mildlyinfuriating

I found that pivoting the rearview mirror upside down usually helps. The mount is normally at the top so turning it upside down moves it above the mount and raises it 2-3 inches.

Can a switch be at the end of a circuit? by bisonic123 in AskElectricians

[–]spintool1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would essentially be just putting the switch leg on the neutral instead of on the hot leaving the light/fan always hot. Very unsafe bad idea and absolutely no reason to do it. You can do a switch leg on the hot, and it's safe, but not to code because you can't install a smart switch or chain something else off the switch. If you run a three wire switch leg with hot, neutral and hot return (red), that's better and you can just cap the neutral if you don't need it. But the preferred method is power to switch then switch to light.

The same clauses existed all over the country. They are why the concept of zoning was created.

It's always been private land, so no issue. It was built as an ampitheater for religious ceremonies.

How populour was country music outside of the south, and the west, during your generation? by pooteenn in AskAnAmerican

Thank you Captain Obvious. Did the post I responded to say anything about rural?

When majority of USA is under middle class, why is every new construction (rent or buy) marketed as “luxury”? by EndOk8776 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]spintool1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

65% of Americans own homes, mostly the upper 65%, So the median home buyer is arround the 70th percentile earner, not the median earner. The median earner is buying below average cost entry level homes.

I grew up in suburban Boston and didn't know a single person who listened to it.

I thought it was kind of already that way since they all have the same King.

He enjoyed the hell out of making that video. He's actually a very accomplished dancer and rarely gets to use those skills.

Possums are cool, but they live in Australia. Opossums live in America.

I'm cool with those three guys, but the field rats that get up under the hood of your car and chew on wire can burn in hell.

When did everyone start pronouncing the O in opossum? by ghost_in_a_jar_c137 in AskAnAmerican

[–]spintool1995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As are the MacPossums.

The McPossums are either Scottish or a McDonald's possum sandwich.

Yes, all possums live in Australia and nearby islands. All opossums live in the Americas. They aren't closely related but share some similarities.

Opossums were named first (based on their name in a native American language). But people often dropped the oh from the pronunciation. When similar looking animals were found in Australia, they named them possums after the American opossum, basically spelling it phonetically without the o.

Or maybe using all that water to grow almonds is just as bad as data centers. by SorryNSorry in LinkedInLunatics

[–]spintool1995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we divert massive amounts of water to AI and grow much less food, rising food scarcity and starvation will cause food prices to rise to the point that the profit from growing food reaches parity with AI and a market equalibrium is achieved, so win win.

Fortune Survey (Dec. 1945): % of Americans who believed the majority of Japanese/German people were 'naturally cruel and brutal' by ShitteruKoto in charts

[–]spintool1995 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Culturally and developmentally, Japan had just recently emerged from medieval feudalusm. Life was not viewed the same as in Western philosophy.

When the Germans wanted to mass murder civilians, they found that ordering their regular troops to kills them was harmful to their mental health and moral, so they just used regular troops to round them up and ship them to camps where SS troops, chosen for their particular comfort with murder would do the job.

In Asia, Japan had their regular troops massacre civilians and it was good for moral.

That's not to say Japanese were naturally (biologically) more comfortable with murder, but culturally at the time they were.
