Nope, I removed that option last January.

CADmonkey , (edited )

Nah, lets just call all lonely men "incels" and sweep the problem under the rug, surely that will never be a problem.

EDIT: Thanks for helping me prove the point, everyone.

CADmonkey ,

Yes, but they do tend to get lumped together and dismissed the same.

CADmonkey ,

See? You are doing it. Be sure to dismiss this response as something coming from an incel, my other half thinks it's funny.

CADmonkey ,

You guys are missing my point. Im not talking about incels, I'm talking about people who just call all lonely guys incels. The way everyone is happily downvoting me when I say this are proving me right.

CADmonkey ,

I have plenty. And I'm not lonely. But when I try to defend lonely fellas online, you say things like "get a hobby".

CADmonkey ,

Those are fine. The fucking cars are ok too, I'm just tired.

$1300 for 6 months of car insurance

Yikes. I pay $1400 for six months of car insurance on two cars, both of which have comp, collision, and uninsured motorist coverage.

CADmonkey ,

I'm going to download the uber app when I'm not on some miserably slow internet connection and do the math, because I'm curious if it's cheaper or not.

Right now, worst case scenario is if I have to drive my Samurai to work. It gets ~20 mpg. With insurance and gas and maintainence put together I'm spending about $4.13 to drive to work for one day.

CADmonkey ,

I'm reminded of Bender:

"This isn't even about you"

"That's impossible!"

CADmonkey ,

Or sn accident in a tunnel, where there isn't a connection.

CADmonkey ,

Of course it's made by KLIM. Someone is probably over on ADVrider right now vehemently defending this vest and it's whale foreskin leather.

Electric school buses are a breath of fresh air for children | Nearly $1B in federal funding could help clean up the unequal health impacts of diesel pollution. (grist.org)

Electric school buses are a breath of fresh air for children | Nearly $1B in federal funding could help clean up the unequal health impacts of diesel pollution.::Nearly $1B in federal funding will help decarbonize transportation and clean up some of the unequal health impacts of diesel pollution

CADmonkey ,

I remember the school buses in one high school I went to running on propane. It's not as clean as electric, but it's cleaner than diesel... and at the time, an electric school bus would have been expensive, if not outright science fiction.

CADmonkey ,

Look at this guy, who has never had to start a diesel engine when it's -20°F outside.

CADmonkey ,

Were they able to keep up with modern traffic and go out to the suburbs and back?

CADmonkey ,

I have Railgrade on my wishlist and I have been back and forth about it. I'm a big fan of Satisfactory though.

SUV stolen from Toronto driveway shows up 50 days later — AirTags tracked vehicle from Canada to Middle East, offering glimpse into shipping routes used by car thieves (www.cbc.ca)

SUV stolen from Toronto driveway shows up 50 days later — AirTags tracked vehicle from Canada to Middle East, offering glimpse into shipping routes used by car thieves::A Toronto man used location tags to track his stolen GMC Yukon from a rail yard in the GTA to a used car lot in the United Arab Emirates. But despite calls to...

CADmonkey ,

Something tells me stolen cars are shipped in bulk.

I don't use youtube for it's riveting entertainment, I use it to learn things.

sugar into a concrete mixer and prevent construction and such

I used to work for a concrete precasting plant. A single 20oz bottle of coke will ruin ten cubic yards of concrete easily.

But it's even easier than that. You can spray forms/reinforcement with soda before the concrete is even poured, and it will ruin the pour because the concrete won't bond to the reinforcement.

CADmonkey ,

So many who think bombs are the way to go. They are not.

None of the following is a good idea, either.

Fun facts I've learned while working for a living:

1.) A bottle of coca-cola, or any sugary drink, will ruin a concrete pour.

2.) Diesel equipment doesn't like water, gasoline, or eggs in the tank.

3.) There are two ends of a telephone line. One end is at the building. The other end is in a box nearby that nobody is watching.

4.) A battered hard hat, old steel toe boots, a dirty yellow safety vest, and an air of confidence will turn you invisible.

CADmonkey ,

So long as the costume covers your face, and the calling card is sufficiently misleading, why not?

CADmonkey ,

I don't know why you are being downvoted, must be a bunch of people wanting to defend a shitty UI.

Because you're right, a self checkout shouldn't require technical knowledge to use.

CADmonkey ,

Customers in the store are bitchy and demanding.

Customers outside the store are bitchy, demanding, and controlling a two-ton machine.

Hard choice.

CADmonkey ,

I wasn't ever explicitly threatened with a car, they were just distracted and didn't care if they hit someone.

AI cameras being set up on highways to catch drivers who throw trash out of their car windows (www.businessinsider.com)

AI cameras being set up on highways to catch drivers who throw trash out of their car windows::The decision to install cameras in UK lay-bys aims to prevent littering but one campaign group described the approach as "meaningless."

CADmonkey ,

My favorites are the ones who let it pile up so much that trash flows out when the door is opened.

CADmonkey ,

I know it isn't. But my comment wasn't about cameras.

CADmonkey ,

There's more to go wrong on an old washing machine and each control board was unique to the machine

What? Old washing machines just use switches and a cam that's on a timer. Anyone who can read a basic schematic can figure out what is wrong with one.

CADmonkey ,

Having a newer machine cost me slightly less money on utilities, and considerably more in washing machine parts.

CADmonkey ,

Doubt.

My electric bill changed by less than $2 per month when I installed an "inefficient" washing machine. It was so little that I'm not sure the washer was the cause. That's $72 over a period of three years. The machine it replaced was just out of warranty and needed a $200 drain pump.

CADmonkey ,

There are washing machines without anything more complex than a switch in them. If you really had a "pile of disassembled washing machines" you'd know that.

CADmonkey ,

Two things have saved me money in this life - being able to cook, and being able to fix things.

CADmonkey ,

Ugh, these games just seem like so much work, I want to relax.

Sits at computer, pulls out calculator and notepad before opening Satisfactory

Human embryos (and probably others) start out female, and grow the male parts a fee weeks later. There is probably someone lurking who can give better details but that's the gist of it. Thats why men have nipples.

CADmonkey ,

I hope this is not offensive to people of the faith!

The feelings of those who want my trans homies gone or dead do not matter.

CADmonkey ,

Potatoes are so easy to grow. You can grow a lot of them in a trash can full of dirt.

CADmonkey ,

Many states in the US don't have an inspection. I live in one of those states. I once observed someone driving down a highway with four donut spares on their car.
