I assumed that since hobbits tend to walk everywhere, and Sam, uh.. probably would've liked trains, he had a habit of counting his steps when he'd gone somewhere, and knew he was about to take the largest number of steps. Though this wouldn't necessarily give him true distance, I don't suppose something like that would concern a hobbit (I choose to believe that they only measure distance in how far it is to walk, not physical distance)

But.. but Stelantis is working to reduce the frequency of the ads! Don't you know that the company that implemented this practice is witerawally powerless to stop it, they're doing everything they can to make this change (that they made) better for EVERYONE, because they understand our frustration and they care 🥺👉🏽👈🏽

Eh, I save the handicap stall for last, but if the rest are taken I'm 100% going to use it.

The stall isn't reserved for people with disabilities, it's there for if they need it. Someone who uses a wheelchair needs the extra space, but if someone is waiting either way, their bladder isn't automatically more important than mine.

In the case of someone with a disability that requires them to have immediate access to a handicap stall, that is unfortunate, but I'd assume some sort of arrangement could be made with HR so that everyone knows that the handicap stall on x floor is off limits or something. But I feel that's such a fringe case that we shouldn't be expecting everyone to hold their pee over the possibility.

There's a couple of surprising ones in there. "Dumpster" was changed for other reasons, but I didnt know it was a name brand.

It's one of my favorite Wikipedia articles. I check it out every here and then. Glad you got a kick out of it!

I swear that happened with another company

It happened to a number of companies. Flip Phone, Laundromat, Trampoline, Escalator... all used to be protected names.

Mild detergents and patience

I think the plan is to move to the outside country before things reach "close the borders" level. And having a nest egg there ahead of time

I wish there was a way to have rehosted everything instead of nuking it. Super frustrating to see stuff like this but also understand not wanting to give a company you dislike traffic off of your content.

You chance of winnin', it- DRASTIC go down.

IIRC, he began writing another installment set in the 4th age, but abandoned it, because now that the main evils were dealt with, all that was left to happen was the world of men betraying each other, and it very quickly became a boring, depressing tale that just didn't need to exist.

Imagine being milk

When I change my filter, I stick a gloved finger inside the new oil, run it around the inside of the filter, and call it good. I haven't blown up any motors yet.

Reading this comment made something click and now I feel dumb.

When looking at these cars with top mounted oil filters, I've always thought "gee, that must be annoying, every time you change the filter it's gonna dump oil all over the place!"

The filter is empty. It dumped oil all over the inside of the engine. Where it's 'sposed to be.

That one looking for a password is amazing. It makes me think of teenagers who want to sound super smart and technical about things they know nothing about.

Out of curiosity, what have you started doing differently?

Took a class in college called "college success", and it was literally a class on just getting your shit together. A lot of the information was stuff that everyone already knows, but having it actually spelled out, defined, and being shown how it positively effects your life was absolutely game changing for me.

SMART was one of the first lessons. I don't look at the whole acronym for setting goals anymore, but the ones I do focus on are measurable and achievable - it doesn't do you any good to say, "I want to build my savings up" or "I'm gonna grind hard, take 20 units this semester and graduate a semester early". You'll never feel like you've built your savings up enough if you don't have a specific goal in mind, and setting unreasonable goals to "push yourself" will just make you feel like a failure, even if you knew the goal was unattainable (I've always hated the "shoot for the moon, if you miss you'll hit the stars" attitude - I set reasonable goals, and when I achieve them, they are raised. Setting a goal you know you can't reach is almost always going to demotivate you from ever trying to reach it)

The site the article was written for is irrelevant to the community it is posted in. There's dozens of communities that are aimed towards this kind of content, full of people that want to see it, but for some reason people choose the shitpost community to try to start discussion on something they take seriously.

I understand the rules of the community (everything goes), but God damn am I tired of seeing political news in the shitposting/ meme communities.

Haha, I actually didn't even notice that on the first look. I saw the spinning prop blades them and BMW were after (though the swastika is another likely design influence)
