  • Lol, elections don't get decided by straight ticket states, they get decided by a handful of states (with occasional exceptions) that sit on the fence, and shit like calling yourself a dictator is exactly the sort of nudge that'll put em off.

    Trump might be appealing to the states that would have voted for him anyway, but there's no actual gains there to be had... Ya know?

  • Explains Starfield pretty well IMHO. It's a beautiful blueprint, and will become a beautiful game once mod support drops and the player base takes over the questing system (and they already have a solid start tbh. It's clunky to mod the game currently, but well worth it).

    I could see how a guy like that might reach and end state of ::: "ok now just go do all of it again, but it's different now because reasons" :::

  • We have far more capacity to archive than we have to recall, and this holds true even as an individual.

    Which is to say that everything posted is indelible ("written in ink"), but the vast majority of it is rendered transient ("written in pencil") by way of a huge amount of obscurity.

    Or, in simpler terms, it's both :)

  • It's been my experience that beer works better ;)

    The issue you'll have is that building code is hella difficult to just read. It's not written as a guide per se, it's written reactively. Inspectors agree hired to be nitpicks, and the code is their list of nits to pick. They kinda get paid by the nit, and over time, as they find new nits, it all gets shoehorned into a big nit list, and trying to read it is hard because you're just kinda reading a giant laundry list of that shit.

    The first couple pages are also rather likely to tell you that you don't actually need to follow it. That's not the actual reality, but it seems common for code to say that...

  • It could be used at recycling centers, and at the largest "customers" of those recycling centers, the landfills...

    Do you separate your plastics? The practice is waning. You see it done in less communities these days, specifically because there's nowhere for that plastic to go, and it's gonna end up in a landfill no matter how effectively or avidly you separate it, and people are realizing that and simply not bothering.

    If there was a big ass bin somewhere that ate plastic, we could actually do what we've been pretending to do for 40 years and remove it from our waste disposal systems. We could separate plastic, and the plastic could get hauled off to the big plastic eating bin to be depolymerized... Hell, you could just run all the trash through it and landfill whatever got left.

  • Building code is close to rocket science. Or maybe voodoo... Building a house is pretty simple, but a code inspector will come up with 2,000 odd little things you didn't do. A clip here, a gap there...

  • One item per bill.

    This didn't have bipartisan support. This wasn't debated. Neither you nor I had any representation whatsoever on this issue, it was proposed by an obscure lobby group and someone tacked it onto something that actually mattered.

    Who actually wants to buy a breathalyzer as a required option on a new car?

  • It's not any kind of analogy, it's an expression... An idiom... A fucking locution... Any of those words help?

    If the expression, as explained, were an analogy, it would imply that when people who believe in Jesus die and go to heaven, Jesus will chew their ass. Fuck, that's also an expression... I mean... Be angry... Get their face really close to your face and angrily yell words at you...

    I don't think anyone who believes in Jesus thinks that's gonna be how the meeting goes.. it's more flowers, hugs, getting drunk as funk... Right?

  • Like a habitual troublemaker that never really gets caught with anything solid, and firearm on parole is the long awaited "gotcha"?

    I could see that being the reason for the exuberance actually. That's plausible. Could also explain the taser, frustrated with dealing with dudes shit for so long maybe...

    You've added a shadow of a doubt I didn't have before. Good discourse :)
