I remember reading about this in a textbook back in uni. Might as well have been in the telegraph era

I mentally nicknamed them the twins. Two guys who worked together with their two drills. Each had a double sized DeWalt battery and another spare double sized. Last time I saw them was 2016. So yeah you got an acedotal backing you up.

Then it takes forever for them to go into place b

I have an item that costs me 40 to buy. I sell you the item for 200. I get a hundred now and a hundred when you get the item. If I fill the order now I get my 100. However if I wait a year I get an interest free loan on the 40 bucks. Maybe I push you off for 10 years. I not only get the 100 you owe me I also doubled that 40. If I am a big company I can pull this off, if I am a one man operation I can’t. Guess who gets hired for these projects. Hint it isnt Jeff’s gutter repair.

And that is just fixed priced contracts. You can imagine the horrorshow of open ended ones.

Comic sans.

It is literally a font. Sometimes when some corporate partner is annoying me I will pdf lock a document, with a signature, to them in comic sans.

Are people really stupid enough to think that every single trans person is a loud screeching SJW?

Even if they were so what? You have to be cynical about these things and figure out how much danger every given person represents. I am in far less danger from someone who yells loudly on Instagram compared to some proud boy marching on the street. One makes the internet kinda boring the other sets off bombs.

Pretty much what I did. Meat once a week and almost always birds. Maybe a hamburger or pho twice a year, and always with my family.

Because they have become accustomed to a taste

I have been toying with baking the last two months and vegan bread is a challenge. It isn’t just taste. Take my basic bread and cut out milk+butter and all I have left is oil. The bread rises funny and the crust is totally different. Yes I have tried a good friend of mine has a dairy allergy.

Just saying it isn’t like there is a ready solution I can grab.

After we are gone the cockroachs and plastic will rule this world… probably using Nokia brick phones from 2003 and driving Honda Civics

Deep time is so annoying. Here I am walking around thinking that I am the main event. And really I will be dead for decades in 1 855,000th of the amount of time from us to the dinosaurs. What the hell universe!? There shouldn’t be 855,000 human lifespans between us and a bunch of overgrown lizards-bird things.

Roughly how often do you get enraged when you hear about people talking about parts of the world with certain energies?

Sure we are pattern matching machines. We had to be the humans that couldn’t figure out “big scary noise usually means big scary threat” died off.

My hat goes off to all the great minds in the sciences that can not only overcome this tendency but using it AT THE SAME TIME!

This is a story I am going to repeat forever.

When I was taking one of my science classes for my major our professor mentioned that she is pretty convinced that she was the last holdout geologist for this theory. So not only had this been discovered in recent history it was controversial in recent history.

If our infrastructure is failing as deeply as it seems, society will reach a breaking point.

My sector. It is worse than you think and I am scared of quitting.

I kinda think you might be right. If you have an animal that has nouns wouldn’t one of those nouns be for the biologists that keep hanging around it and interacting?

Cough… science…cough

Don’t in crazy. Listen to your elders junior.

Except no where near as fun

I just did a quick search and the difference between seeing astrology talk about fate vs personality is at least 1200 years apart.

I think it is pretty clear in the context of the joke that they weren’t saying the concept doesn’t exist they were saying the attributes of the concept doesn’t exist.

“seem”. Making assumptions now.
