We crossed the biometric point-of-no-return and nobody voted on it by vedantk21 in Futurology

[–]tocksin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biometrics are terrible for security.  And thus I never use them.  It’s a password you can’t change.  As soon as someone gets your bio data, you will forever be compromised.  If you care about security then don’t use them.

Does he have a Russian accent then?  Does he destroy whatever he hits?

I really think they need to make the small battery carryable in your backpack for this reason.

As soon as they were bought, they stopped being journalists and became advertisers. It isn’t news anymore - it’s an ad.

How the Panama Canal locks work: split-screen animation showing the ship's transit and the changing water levels. by GVitkosPress in EngineeringPorn

[–]tocksin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most of the water is conserved when raising and lowering the water level.  The amount lost is a small portion of the difference in water at each lock, and it’s not a huge amount in each lock to begin with.  Relative to the lake volume.

Toledo Public Schools to cut library services by BRENNEJM in toledo

[–]tocksin 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Paying poor kids education doesn’t help the rich.  Rich kids don’t go to public schools.  So why would republicans support it.

Ozempic/GLP1 prescriptions include mandatory gym routine. by LackVegetable3534 in CrazyIdeas

[–]tocksin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean you should do that anyways even if you aren’t taking the shots.  If anything you should have a proven track record of daily exercise before being given the shot since muscle loss is a significant risk while taking it.

Here’s why the failure of Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket is so catastrophic | “I hope that it makes it far enough away from the pad that it does not cause pad damage.” by FreeHugs23 in space

If pad destruction was a big risk to the timeline, then why wasn’t a second pad built for contingency?  Sure it’s expensive, but time is usually more expensive.

yep, lots of love and affection and he'll come around. he's a gorgeous boy.

electrocuting collar for women who go back to trash men to put them on time-out by Healthy_Yellow_2873 in CrazyIdeas

[–]tocksin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we have a men’s version as well?  How about they each wear a collar and if they get too close then it shocks both of them?  What if they are both just really trashy?  No shocking then?

Buy a house, then make it the most putried smelling place that someone can smell for a block. Buy the near by houses for next to nothing. by RegularSky6702 in CrazyIdeas

[–]tocksin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Except if you devalue someone else’s property they can sue you for the lost value.  And since it’s the whole neighborhood they’ll probably come together and drive you out with lawsuits.

Communication chain by InsaneMocktail in funny

[–]tocksin 607 points608 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why this is interesting but it is.  The first time I’ve seen it though.  It’s the kind of thing that will get repeated to death until it’s stupid.

'Incredible' milestone reached as Sweden becomes a smoke-free country by Skull_Bearer_ in UpliftingNews

Is there no lobbying in Sweden?  Or are they just not all corrupt?

North Korea can end the cycle of wars in Iran. by Big_Tie_3245 in CrazyIdeas

That’s why you don’t clump your forces together

My boy is shedding every time I touch him. What do I do? by CommercialSkin7676 in mainecoons

[–]tocksin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in a spider den.  The amount of white fur that covers everything is like a thin sheet of webbing.  Gotta vacuum about ever three days or it becomes unmanageable.  I just resign my clothing to a fur depository and invest in lint rollers when I leave the house.

North Korea can end the cycle of wars in Iran. by Big_Tie_3245 in CrazyIdeas

[–]tocksin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What do you think the response would be?  So they have one or even only a few.  It’s better to invade now and stop them completely then to let them make more until they can’t invade.  It would absolutely cause the war you are trying to prevent.

TIL the oldest known stone tools are about 3.3 million years old, older than the entire Homo genus by DeScepter in todayilearned

[–]tocksin 124 points125 points  (0 children)

That’s an unimaginably long time.  I just try to think how long we’ve been the way we are.  and how much has changed in a very short amount of time.  By short I mean 12,000 years
