  • You can still be on the grid and produce your own electricity. The electric company will even buy extra electricity from the consumer.

    Electricity or milk is a good. Milk delivery or electricity delivery is a service that delivers a good.

    No way you’d say “Milk” was a service, just like you shouldn’t say “Electricity” is a service. If you give more detail that makes it a service, then it would be a service.

    It was a bullshit question and the teacher didn’t want to admit that.






  • I find subtiles distracting

    I read the words that pop up on the screen in my own voice in my head and basically ignore the voices because I can not understand them anyways.

    I enjoyed Death Note in dubbed

    I enjoyed Alice in Boarderlands in subbed, dubbed was bad

    I’m split on Money Heist. My friend showed me it in English and I watched the whole first episode without realizing it was dubbed. Trying to watch it subbed after that was like the characters were not speaking the language I thought they did. It was weird.

    I can see some people hating the lips not matching up, but I don’t really look at.

    Maybe if I was big into subbed shows I’d like them more and I’m sure I’d get better at enjoying subtitles.

    But I am the kind of person that would want to rewind a movie or show because I didn’t understand what a character said. I hate feeling like I am missing important information.



  • They would only be in a bad situation because minimum wage is low and they will be missing tips.

    A pizza driver in the US is guaranteed at least minimum wage while they are on the clock.

    To my knowledge, Uber style delivery services are not going to fire you for not working a night.

    The typical pizza place has managers that will force workers to work. If you are forced to work and someone calls in a pizza, you are forced to deliver.

    Im sure there are people out there that have 4x4s and enjoy the extra tips in the hazardous conditions.

    But you could also be risking some poor soul life that’s being forced to deliver in their Honda civic.

    Those people can’t say no to their managers in fear of being fired. It’s what the whole comment was about. They can’t quit, fired could be worse.








  • Screws maybe

    But you have to machine a hole in the metal for the screw to function

    You know how hard it would be to drill a hole for a screw in a cave with scrap parts and no power drill?

    All you need to crudely weld, probably as strong as a screw, is heat. Fire is easy in a cave.

    I’d wager they could melt some metal together before devising a cave drill press.

    We have no idea what metal or alloy it is. They could have an alloy that melts easily, but once hard, it adheres to other metals and practically unbreakable. Just find some scraps of that alloy to easily weld.



  • I’ve snapped so many Robertson bits in my life. Screws are fine.

    1 5/8" cement board screws

    They used to be Robertson. They switched to Torx.

    Night and day difference

    Like you said, they do grip like a mofo, and with an impact driver, the bits snap.

    I tried dozens of different brands of bits. Even paid top dollar for special Milwaukee ones.

    I was at a point where I had to pre-drill and counter sink the screws because I was breaking too many bits.

    I could probably drive a torx head one through a board

    On a day in California, where the sun rises at 7 am PST, it would be equivalent to making it 3 pm UTC.

    You think people in California are going to be happy waking up at 3 pm, going to work at 5pm-1am, then going to sleep at 7am?

    People are angry that they get an extra hour of sleep one night and lose one another. 2 days out of the year.

    You really think you’re going to sell these people on waking up at 3 pm and going to bed at 7am?

    Working hours being 9am-5pm vs 1900-0300 are just numbers.

    Working hours being 9am-5pm PST vs 9am-5pm PDT are just numbers

    DST just tries to shift everyone to a beneficial sun zone for a part of the year.

    Depending where you live and mainly how close you are to a time zone line depends if keeping it, getting rid of it, or keeping the current system is beneficial.

    Maine could be in it’s own time zone as far east as it really is. The idea that Michigan is in the same time zone is absurd. Michigan should be in CST. That would drop them back an hour. If you talked to someone in Michigan they probably hate DST. Their DST should be their current standard time and then they should fall back to CST if they wanted to do the DST switch thing. They would get a lot more sunlight in the morning.

    Sunrised in NY and CA at 7 am today in their respective time

    They are 3 hours apart in time zones.

    So if you wanted everyone to use same clock and for the sun to rise at 7am in NY. That would mean the sun would rise at 4am in CA.

    The sun would set at 1:30pm in CA

    Someone currently working a 9-5pm. It would become a 6-2pm job.

    How is that not going to cause chaos?
