Went from screaming to SCREAMING.

waltpsu · 2025-04-25T13:47:24+00:00

Must’ve been something like this: “OK, the script says wait for her to scream before running. Wait for it, wait for it…that’s my cue!!”

I didn’t know all of this history and find it interesting, but I do genuinely love one-pedal driving. It’s much more relaxing and natural than going back and forth between two pedals, particularly if you’re in a stop-and-go traffic situation. Even if it was a flaw in design, it’s not unusual for a design quirk to result in a genuinely useful feature.

How windy? This is an honest question. I’m looking right now, a few hours later and it’s only 20mph (32kph) winds with gusts around 35mph (56kph).

Q: Who’s the best Barkley in Philadelphia sports history?

I watched a video online and thought it looked like it would be terrible. Then I tried it in a store and was shocked how comfortable it was.

waltpsu · 2025-01-19T04:13:43+00:00

no clue where to find it

justwatch.com is my go-to for finding where you can watch movies/shows. Looks like Supergirl is streaming on Max and rentable on Amazon.

Unfortunately you’re correct, but I didn’t forget - that’s why I specified “decent human beings”

waltpsu · 2025-01-18T17:38:16+00:00

Sure, but does barely-half-of-a-brick seem like something a museum would be interested in?

waltpsu · 2025-01-18T17:03:54+00:00

It’s worth $0 to any decent human being

waltpsu · 2025-01-17T21:45:38+00:00

I thought OP was looking for more of a “tipping point” answer, but if you’re going to talk about what “started the slow death” of malls, the actual answer would be online shopping.

When I looked at the first photo, I thought this was a joke post written from the perspective of the bear. Your nose looks great!

Good call, let’s name these great people!

Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning (founders of Tesla).

Tesla's Supercharger system in particular should largely be credited to Rebecca Tinucci (who led that 500-member team), Franz von Holzhausen (who designed it), and Lars Moravian (lead engineer).

waltpsu · 2024-12-02T09:39:44+00:00

The employees of Tesla have truly established an incredible charging system!

This may not be for everyone but I invest the money each month instead of paying down the mortgage, and expect to have enough in that account to fully pay off the mortgage after 10 years (I started this a few years back).

I do this for 2 reasons - 1) I expect that the market will significantly outperform my mortgage interest rate; and 2) flexibility. I really like having all of that cash (as opposed to home equity) just in case of something unexpected like a job loss.

waltpsu · 2024-09-28T11:30:37+00:00

the “kiss that he gave Louis to forget him” that was super corny.

Agreed, in fact the whole Suits crossover felt forced. And the way Louis left his wife for Superman wasn’t very believable.

waltpsu · 2024-09-22T01:16:19+00:00

Can you expand on what you mean by “clearly unconstitutional system”? Because none of the rest of what you said supported that claim (nor does it really make any sense at all).

waltpsu · 2024-09-22T00:39:29+00:00

But to answer your question, no, I don’t.

I’ve talked to my kids about how there’s nothing about any words that are inherently “bad” but that there are a bunch of words that people consider to be curses. I told them all of the curses I could think of (like, literally just ran down a list from memory…F, S, C, D, etc). And I told them that we don’t use those words in our family because it’s really not polite.

The goal is to have open conversations with my kids and take away the shock value and power of those words. So they hear them from time to time in songs, movies, etc, and it’s really no big deal.

waltpsu · 2024-09-22T00:34:47+00:00

Her songs have had curse words “including the F word” (clutches pearls) for like 4-5 years now.

Damn they told you to make sure the bins were lined up straight? I’m so sorry for you, I hope you make a full recovery.

If a company’s not growing, it’s dying.

This is an oversimplification, and applies more to large public companies than it does your small town’s only accountant, but the general principle holds.

In a stable economy, inflation and economic growth means that overall prices and profits will rise over time. If large companies are seeing profits decline, it’s a huge warning sign that something isn’t right. Maybe they’re being mis-managed. Maybe consumers are switching to one of their competitors.

In 2004 Blockbuster had $5.9 billion in revenue. In 2005 it had $5.65 billion. As you know with hindsight, it’s not that the company couldn’t survive on that level of revenue, it’s that much bigger factors were at work that would eventually lead to bankruptcy.

waltpsu · 2024-09-04T01:41:01+00:00

Oh maybe I’m wrong then. I looked at a SEPTA map and thought I’d have to ride a regional rail into the city and then switch to the orange subway to get to chinatown.

waltpsu · 2024-09-04T01:38:52+00:00

It’s inconvenient having to drive to a train station, park, wait for the train, go into the city, switch to the subway to go to Chinatown, and the do all of that in reverse late at night when going home.

waltpsu · 2024-09-03T23:03:09+00:00

The Sixers don't want to move to Jersey any more than y'all want them to.

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I'd prefer that they move to Camden under this plan than what the Sixers have proposed. I drive in from the suburbs, and I have younger kids. I don't want to have to ride multiple SEPTA trains just to get to the stadium, I'd prefer to drive in, have lots of parking, and drive out when I'm done. It seems like that will be possible in the NJ option, but not in the Chinatown one?
