This is my narcissistic neighbor's behavior. He has 2 dogs, but he treats them like objects and not as part of the family. He absolutely hates cats for no real reason.
It's a massive red flag. I had to help his ex wife escape from him because he's a DARVO type abuser.
If those numbers are correct, that's 40x the energy.
That "Don't Be A Sucker" film made by the department of war in the 1940s is crazy to watch now. It's almost a 1 to 1 comparison between Trump and the bad guy. Though that film is a bit inaccurate about how religion responded to the nazis.
Yeah it's not as bad as asbestos. I think it will be similar to lead paint. Bad for you, but not downright dangerous.
My bet is Hardi board will be the next one. Concrete dust causes silicosis. In industrial construction allowable concrete dust is basically zero. Residential construction people are sawing and grinding this concrete siding all the time.
I've always lived in Oregon. You would be surprised how many people think it's only California and Washington on the west coast. About a dozen different people in various MMOs have had the same confusion.
I do this too. Only have issues with the newer mower. The siphon tube gets blocked by the gel e it causesvery few years. Take carb off, clean it, and good to go. People wayyyyy over exaggerate the problems with ethanol in gasoline.
I own a station wagon, a suburban, and previously a truck. When I owned the truck it was full of shit or hauling stuff constantly. I sold it the moment I didn't need it. The suburban replaced it because I refuse to put my dogs in the bed while towing the boat to go camping. The wagon is a people hauler because it's payload is too low most of the time.
There are quite a few people in this world who actually use their trucks. I also completely hate seeing people who own trucks but don't use them.
Having just pulled repaired and put an engine back in one of my cars. No ICE cars are much harder to repair. Range will probably be an issue for a while. What I'm really excited for is hybrid light duty vehicles like a 1 ton hybrid would be great.
I generalize millennials as too young to legally drink in the US (21) but old enough to remember the millennium. It's not completely accurate though.
Power tools are sometimes the exception to the rule of buying cheap tools. Saws are probably the biggest exception. My cheap corded ryobi saw is awful because it's so flimsy, and the deck bends. The makita saw I replaced it with is 100x easier to use, more accurate, and safer.
Buying cheap tools applies to hand tools, air tools, hydraulic stuff, etc.
Firm disagree. Social media, or more specifically algorithmic short form content these days, is extremely damaging. It's different from anything that's come before and has nothing to do with connecting with your peers.
I graduated high-school in 2009 so I saw the beginning of popularized social media. Very few gained anything from participating in it. Mostly people who were good at marketing and building a following benefited.
Meh. Big screens don't make cars better. It's still a car, and basic functionality is more important than a big screen that lags or hides functions.
If that's all it takes for you to boycott, you should avoid everything. A few suffering pigs at one of Costcos suppliers is basically nothing compared to their size. It's good it's brought to light. But just like the article says, it's legal to do what they did, and all they need to do is kill them faster.
A mom broke up with her boyfriend. He returned later and killed her 3 kids, then her, then himself. The oldest son was in my class.
I wasn't great friends with him, but I knew him well enough to feel bad about it. So many people who hated him pretended to be sad for attention.
Mostly agree, I hate Samsung in general (sent from Samsung Galaxy S22). Anytime I see someone considering their appliances or TVs I try to turn them to something else. They have made the best batteries for a long time though. I hope a competitor rises to squish them a bit.
Don't buy a sumsung washer. I only buy used washers and dryers because I'm cheap and handy. Samsung is not an option because a large part of the user market is broken in a way that costs the same as buying new.
I do sort of disagree with your QA comment. Everyone seems to think QA stops once you sell a product, but it doesn't. They did a full recall to fix their quality mistake. It'd be like if Tesla finally recalled all of the cybertrucks for sucking as much as they do. Massive PR hit to attempt to maintain quality.
I only lurk on Reddit these days, but if old reddit goes away I'll be completely done with it.
Samsung was very transparent about their fuck up with the note 7. The article you linked makes it very clear it was a connection issue or a different manufacturer. At this point this is equivalent to the burn banana peels to get high or you eat dozens of spiders while you sleep internet lies.
So it's one of the companies contributing to the dying diversity online. Almost all of these websites and services have become awful without adblock or require a paid account.
