Yeah I know it's tongue in cheek, but the mocking should really go the other way, haha. Look at our washed American eggs that scare the Europeans who are used to two orders of magnitude higher incidences of salmonella:

"Overall, egg contamination from industrial systems has been reported to be 0.005% in the United States, 0.37% in Europe, and between 0.5% and 5.6% in China"

-From https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10706720/#:~:text=The%20presence%20of%20Salmonella%20in,3%2C15%2C16%5D.

Is a pinwheel the same as a burrito? Of course not! Is a pepperoni roll a calzone?! Never! Structure matters! If it didn't, why would you be able to order a personal pan pizza or a slice?! Clearly, they are different!

By your logic, I could pick out all of the greens from my salad bowl, hand you a bowl of croutons, and have given you a salad. Preposterous!

While admittedly mashed potatoes and rice are miscategorized and switched from where they should be, the cube rule is a parsimonious and more accurate model! The footnote misrepresents it as location of carbs, when it is clearly stated as the location of structural starch. When reading it in this manner it is much more clear than any soup-based hyperspace nonsense!

You're a mad man, and your food classification theories are overwrought AND lead to bad conclusions!

A salad?! Clearly a deep-dish pizza is a form of quiche!

I actually undershot, since the 2.5 must've been just from one PAC.

3.5: https://www.newsweek.com/alina-habbas-firm-has-been-paid-over-35m-defend-trump-1862002

Trump's PACs, in turn funded by a bunch of people who are being told how they're funding his "campaign".

Also, my prediction is that big puts will be selling for way higher than their likelihood, because so many retail investors want to to fail. So even though the stock will go down, tons of people will lose money betting that.

"Oh no, they're not taking me seriously!"

Cashes 2.5 million dollar check

"Anyways..."

That looks like a cancer mobile game. Bet there will be a ton of microtransactions.

Whoa whoa whoa - the Jumanji reboot was excellent. It's still a kids movie, but Jack Black was amazing, and even Kevin "Homophobe" Hart showed some chops. And the Rock and Karen Gilliam are both good as always.

Yes, it's a derivative recycle of existing IP capitalizing on nostalgia, but everything now is a derivative recycle of existing IP capitalizing on nostalgia. At least they updated the board game idea to have fun 80s video game call backs and tried their best for a good script and good acting. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I think the key is not good at shipping compared to themselves in the past. Same with Google.

They're still better than the alternatives, but they've gotten much worse in quality all around, and they squeezed out competitors years ago so there's no viable alternatives that aren't WAY worse.

Granted you have to have VR for it, but Beat Saber has pretty famously never gone on sale and never will, but it's an unbelievably good game that super worth it.

This reminds me I need to start playing beat saber again.

I live in DC. There are like 8 police forces in the area. The only ones worse than Capitol Police are park police, and since the Obama administration that's been in question, since Trump it might not even be true anymore. They are absolutely terrible.

This guy might be great, but as a general rule they're low training, high fuck up, harassers of citizens. They shoot people that are clearly on drugs if they get near their area, they shot into a panicked woman's car that had a baby in the seat, and that's not even getting into the day to day reputation.

My Makita circular saw is great, though admittedly it gets pretty light use. The rip guide/fence system it comes with is absolute garbage though.

Could be, but there are also like 80 different impact drivers in each brand, so tough to compare apples to apples. I also bought all my power tools years and years ago, so just going off what I remember when I was doing my research. I actually own mostly DeWalt and some Makita and Harbor Freight, and my router stuff is all Bosch. The only Milwaukee stuff I own is their M18 yard tools stuff and it's really shoddily built and quite shit, though it did look the best compared to the alternatives - so probably just a function of compromising on a multi tool. But hey, I'm just one dad.

The one thing I know for sure is there's a silly amount of brand loyalty and sweeping generalizations (like the ones I made!), and it's tough to cut through any of it since tool review websites and videos are probably the worst example of AI generated blogspam I experience in my daily life. Unless someone's a professional tradesman, they probably don't get to use tools enough to have well-informed opinions, and then their needs don't even really match harry homeowner in the first place!

It's probably best to just do blind tribalism and give us something to make fun of other dads for. What I'm trying to say is your response is exactly what someone in House Milwaukee would say.

We've reached the ends of my knowledge of both tool brands and Harry Potter unfortunately. Hilti I've got no idea - I only feel bad about leaving out Bosch.

I'm familiar, but does a domino go to a job site? Or does it stay in a dedicated shop full of fancy/specialized tools?

Also we should probably remember we're talking dads getting sorted, not actual professionals, so if I'm wrong in industry - it's because I'm coming from hobbyist dad-land. I don't even know anyone with anything festool. At best I'm going off of forums and YouTube and guessing at what fancy dads want...though I wouldn't mind a domino of someone else is paying!

Ah, thanks. I haven't read those books for years and years.

This tracks.

DeWalt: high quality and good pedigree but overpriced = Slytherin

Milwaukee: basically the same as DeWalt, but less pretentious. Thinks they're better and tougher though = Gryffindor

Makita: the smart choice for value, also best colors = Ravenclaw

Ryobi: I know it will break, but they're just tools and I'm not serious about this anyway. I would rather spend more money on my family or other hobbies = Hufflepuff

Honorable mentions of other "houses" and schools in the thread.

Black and Decker/Craftsman/whatever. Used to be very impressive, but completely corrupted. Probably evil = Durmstrang (Russian school)

Festool: Beautiful, absolutely dripping with wealth signals. Still pretty amazing at what they do, but you might not want them on a job site = Beauxbatons (super wealthy French school)

Harbor freight: Simple, potentially the most powerful but also likely to break. Can probably accomplish what you need by using a wrench as a hammer, but you wouldn't want to do anything delicate with it. Actually the biggest group of dad-wizards = Uagadou (the school in Uganda where magic was invented but they don't use wands)

Can we not post rage bait articles and commentary on clickbait actions and contribute to endless cycle of takes on takes from people who don't matter? Or can we at least not do it in the news community?

What a moronic story to waste time thinking about.
