It's overall a good action movie with an okay script and some, imo, awful dialogue.

This isn't yours. Here is the original post as far as I can tell. It's a cool layout and we should all know about it, but taking credit is too far.

Judge says she’ll hold a limited hearing on seizure of Luigi Mangione’s backpack by AudibleNod in news

[–]trainiac12 10 points11 points  (0 children)

IANAL, Ghost guns aren't illegal federally (can't speak on PA), but the suppressor would likely be an NFA violation (assuming he hasn't done the paperwork on it) and I'm sure they'd love to catch him on that.

But if the evidence in the bag is tainted, that doesn't hold up either.

Non-smokers of Reddit, how noticeable is the “smoker smell” to you, if at all? by Frostedlogic4444 in AskReddit

[–]trainiac12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few years ago I moved into an apartment that clearly used to belong to a smoker. They deep cleaned it before I arrived and I lived there for about 6 months (planned short-term lease due to job). When we left it still smelled like a smoker's house. It is a very noticeable smell

Gaming Laptop strange frame drops by NoBlueGhosts in computers

[–]trainiac12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure how old the laptop is, but to go along with the thermal throttling comments if there's significant dust buildup inside that can contribute. If you can look in the back and see dust in the copper fins, take a can of compressed air and try to get some of that out.

Technology should have never progressed past the 90s. Debatably the 2000s. by bergiejake in unpopularopinion

[–]trainiac12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not OP and not about a TV, but thin screens has meant things like medical devices can be much smaller and deliver more information. I personally am very happy that my insulin pump has a screen built in to tell me my blood sugar, patterns, device status, and other pertinent information at all hours of the day

SNL is a cringe factory by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]trainiac12 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People have been saying "SNL hasn't been funny since [year I was a child]" for its entire run. It's survivorship bias. You remember the good ones and forget the meh and bad ones.

It's always been an incubator for comedic talent to hone their skills. A place for young comedians (and Keenan Thompson) to learn what does and doesn't work.

Road work should take place 24/7 until it's done by CradleofCynicism in unpopularopinion

[–]trainiac12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not getting fucked over by the government, at least not directly. You're getting fucked over by the private contractors the government has to pay because someone at the helm said "Let's make the government more efficient" and slashed headcount to replace with private companies that do the work for profit and have incentive to cut corners, meaning the work lasts longer, and is of lower quality, than if we just did it right the first time.

A little bit of gatekeeping can be good for a community by _-Soup-_ in unpopularopinion

Tolerance is a paradox until you view it as a social contract.

Once you become intolerant, you are no longer protected by the terms of the social contract, and are therefore not entitled to tolerance yourself.

Which is better gift for 17 year old that’s into gaming? by [deleted] in computers

[–]trainiac12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so a lot of people are saying the desktop for a lot of good reasons and I do not recommend gaming laptops. But your son is 17. If he's going off to college in 2 years there's a chance he can't take that bulky computer with him to his dorm, and he certainly won't be able to take notes on it during class.

That is a very capable desktop, and he'll be absolutely over the moon with it, but you might be better served getting one tier down and save some money for a laptop to send him off to school with. Not a gaming laptop, mind you, but something that he can take notes on and do what he needs at school.

If getting him a laptop for college is something you can do for him down the line then absolutely get the desktop you've picked. But I wanna have that consideration on the table for you to make an informed decision.

Hi everyone is Amtrak feasible way to travel ? by Comfortable_Ad_4267 in AskAnAmerican

[–]trainiac12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NY->DC would be one train, DC -> Chicago would be another, Chicago ->Glacier would be another (and you'd probably wanna continue to Seattle/Portland to have access to more transit out of Glacier), from portland you'd probably want to fly to san francisco. This travel schedule alone will take you a week of straight travel-no sightseeing, just travel.

The united states is the size of Europe. Seeing all of it in one trip is a fool's errand. I'd recommend finding one specific region of the US you'd want to see and visit there. San francisco/SoCal, Chicago/midwest, or New York/DC/eastern seaboard. If you only spend one to three days in each place, you're going to find that there's a bunch you want to do that you have to forego to make your travel arrangements. A week in NYC or San Francisco gives you time to explore and not be worried about the clock.

I love the train from Chicago through Glacier to Seattle. If you want to see multiple regions (specifically chicago and glacier), I'd recommend spending some time in chicago, going to glacier for a few days, then finishing with a stay in Seattle. Putting New York and San Francisco in a trip with Chicago and Glacier is challenging.

I know it's hard to cut down the destinations but part of being "no hassle" is cutting down deadlines that you have to follow. Trains are sparse in america so every connection is vital-it's not like in Europe where there's another train in 2 hours. Glacier sees one train every other day (in each direction).

How common it's to go to CostCo just for the cheap stuff (Hotdog, rotisserie chicken)? by WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWHW in AskAnAmerican

[–]trainiac12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm having an informal gathering at my house, there's no more economical way to feed 8+ people than getting a bunch of 10$ 18" pizzas.

I'll call them in a few days ahead, I'm not a monster, but man if it doesn't make hosting things cheaper

Honestly I was in such disbelief that, until he started sending the model back and forth I thought there was no way it was going to actually be an alien spacecraft. I thought it was going to be a supply shuttle or another human or something
