I'm a digital age, all of that is converted automatically. Bottom right corner, units option. Even when you find suspicious values like 25.4mm (1.000"), there's so much esoteric sizing out there that it's not a smoking gun. We use 10mm hex sockets on 3/8" square drive ratchets and put 235mm wide tires on 18" diameter wheels across the world.

Same as complaining about modern movies being unoriginal sequels without original IP. It's a revelation that the commenter isn't actually diving into anything and is only exposed to advertisements and popular media. Yeah, sequels and existing IP are money grabs. It's amusing to then see the tangential complaint that the annual award ceremonies are trash because they didn't pick some excellent original movie. OK, but look at what does win. More than half are original/first-time adaptations and Avengers are nowhere on there. But these commenters, just like the mechanisms that lead to something being popular (but not inherently great), are asking for popular recommendations on better media!

Agreed, get out of the dump. If you only listen to pop radio or streaming trending, it's only going to be pop and pop-adjacent. If you only hear about movies from ads and trending topics, it's only going to be the equivalent of pop. Browse by genre, but new releases, by awards, whatever. But all of them take effort to find, consume thoroughly, and appreciate - exactly why their numbers flounder next to pop in the first place.

Plus, I'd add, basically every band you forgot about prior to 2010 made a new album in 2020/2021.

Has "once in a generation" always meant every 20 years?

2 people I know watched Mouse Hunt for the first time this month and both hated it. Not really his movie though, I guess

In my restaraunt experience, those parties worked because it was organic. Part of it is that you're probably working nights and weekends, making it harder to socialize with people outside your industry or similar CS professions. Part of it is overlap in demographic, probably being under 25, in school or recent graduate, from the same town or 2, and have similar incomes, which dictates affordability of activities.

Moving into a regular office environment means your off-hours are the same as the rest of the working population. All different incomes, ages, kid counts, living locations, etc. At my job, the core department has pretty good overlap and after-hours things are generally organized by department heads. They recognize the cohesion. But sometimes, HR takes a crack at a company-wide gig and it's awkward. Not drastically, as it's only about 70 people, but we fall into the preexisting groups, mostly based on department. It's fine when it's the Christmas party during normal hours, but it just doesn't work when it's a bar after hours.

Not effectively. You'll just have a lower concentration of CO2 in your exhaled air. Maybe it'll stay the same with the increase in exertion by breathing more, but that'd be a good way to estimate how little energy your breathing consumes compared to proper exercise. And after all that, exercise is pretty slow to burn calories as well. The good news is your brain burns calories by thinking harder, an activity we're both now involved in

If you're still regenerating tissue, your body is still producing weight. Drastically reduced (I'd guess by 75% total, of which 2/3 is dead digestive bacteria you'd no longer need), but still existent.

Fun fact, you don't defecate out weight loss, either. You exhale carbon in CO2

Meanwhile in 2025, I'm deciding if I need to wall mount my bidet remote for "anti theft" purposes

but,

Even without direct interaction, it's easier to know someone as "the guy in the cabin on hillside road with the blue Honda CRV and the beard". I assume that's what the comment meant since they tied privacy to anonymity

Remember about a year ago when conservatives flipped the fuck out about a "woke banned word list", acted like the world was crumbling and they couldn't use any words at all anymore? And it was really just one university's list of words that couldn't be used in their official communications?

Oh, how the turntables.

AOL keyword: "brave" or "American". It was Stanford

Without seeing what you've seen, that honestly sounds more like a symptom of the platform, current internet trends, and algorithm gaming than it sounds like a cheesy viral marketing campaign

I need to know as well. I hope they get out of the shower soon to tell us

Doesn't he have a bean to flick?

But I have heard of international figure skaters

Found one item real quick, Husky Foam Kneeling pad. Same price of $14.88 for NYC, LA, Nebraska, and Delaware.

There's definitely some cents coding for clearance there. A $100 item will be identified as being removed from inventory when it goes to 1st clearance at 50.06, 2nd clearance at 25.03 or 25.02. There's a whole game to find those items at the next stage, scrap or return to vendor, when it get pulled form the shelf and set to 0.01. But the order isn't always perfect and you can get lucky if you find it and don't get caught

Reddit comments say 88 is a "special buy" item. In my experience, that means freestanding box with a giant price tag

That's not my tax rate, although it's a good guess. It occurs across a number of store sin my area, although all in the same state. My theoretical benign explanation is its an inventory code for short term items around holidays. I'll probably be there later today and see what I can find

$14.88 is an obnoxiously common price for temporary box display items at home depot. Gloves, kneeling pads, drill bit kits. Always gets an eyebrow from me
