Topic | What is it like driving 6-8 hours straight by yourself? |
realnifty1 07/24/21 5:07:37 PM #27 | Personally, I like it, but I know that most people don't. I'm all about like 6 hour stretches without stopping, fill back up, eat, hit the bathroom and then do it again. I'm sure it would get old if I did it for work, but doing 1,200 miles 6 or so times a year is cool for me. |

Topic | PEMDAS question goes viral on Twitter |
realnifty1 07/23/21 2:33:27 PM #42 | It's designed to be skewed or trolled. Anyone that understands knows the answer isn't there so they either troll it or do nothing. You are just left with people that either don't know it, or second guess themselves when their first answer wasn't in the list. Pure social engineering. |

I mean this has been a pretty big Republican/Conservative desire for the last 20 years or so. They know the crumbling of public education will disproportionately affect the poor to keep them in their place. |

realnifty1 07/01/21 12:09:26 PM #10 | They made deals with a bunch or tubers/twitchers to give them free chairs as marketing. If you really wanted to drop money on a quality chair go look into a Herman Miller. |

One was them putting some feed out, so maybe that one was accidental, but the others the cow absolutely did it on purpose. |

Topic | If rent check is in the box on time, but management isn't there, is it late? |
realnifty1 06/22/21 3:56:36 PM #10 | Depends on your lease and whether they can make such changes to when the rent is due. But assuming written notice qualifies then dropping the check off like that would be late. |

realnifty1 06/18/21 2:45:26 PM #26 | So the Dresden Dolls would do a cover of ...Baby One More Time and when they toured with Panic at the Disco Brendon Urie would come out and duet it with Amanda. There is pretty much no good video of them doing this, I used to have a clean audio version, but this one is pretty good other than missing the first part. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEDIkqgqmlE |
Topic | SCOTUS confirms ACA 7-2 |
realnifty1 06/17/21 1:01:46 PM #39 | Worth noting that this was just a ruling on standing not the merits. I'm fairly certain the 2017 Republican law to reduce the penalty to $0 is in fact unconstitutional. The only issue with that is that if it is found unconstitutional then the 2017 law would be rolled back, not the ACA. And I don't think anyone wants to be responsible for re-instating the penalty. |
Topic | Is Fellatio a dexterity, constitution, or wisdom check? |
realnifty1 06/15/21 2:06:36 PM #49 | I'd lean CON as it is primarily an endurance task, but that alone wouldn't mean it is any good. I'd more than likely make it a series of Easy DC checks depending on exactly what they want to do with it. CON for the basic mechanics. DEX is you are wanting to like Gluck Gluck or just work in any complicated coordinations. CHA for the performance check if you want to look good doing it. |

Topic | Really Wikipedia ? (racist term for impoverished Chinese) |
realnifty1 06/11/21 2:45:55 PM #39 | I didn't read the source citation, but changing this to neutral language could potentially make it harder to connect to the source. As demonstrated in this thread it is a less known slur and someone checking the article against the source may not be able to make the connection. Given the sensitive language they should have attempted a better citation to show that it was the language of the source and not the author. |
Topic | So LAAG actually got deleted but Better Than Hellhole and MAGA still exist? |
realnifty1 06/10/21 11:39:49 PM #17 | It likely means there are pending legal inquiries into the the latter two preventing him from deleting them. I guess they nipped LAAG early enough that they could delete once they looked through internally. |

Hey, if it hits though right, you get a big fat I told you so to everyone even though you had absolutely no foundation for your claim in the first place and you just lucked out. |

Topic | Southerners refuse to get vaccinated. COVID might rise because of this. |
realnifty1 05/28/21 3:02:22 PM #30 | Balrog0 posted... It has nothing to do with laws preventing it. Mandatory vaccines have precedent. Maybe I'm missing something, but the only mandates I've ever seen were narrowly tailored and full of exceptions. I think we would have legal difficultly creating a broad-scale adult vaccination requirement. |
Topic | Intelligence on Sick Staff at Wuhan Lab Fuels Debate on Covid-19 Origin |
realnifty1 05/28/21 2:58:16 PM #64 | DarkRoast posted... We've known they've been trying to cover it up since late 2019, but there is literally no evidence whatsoever that it was a deliberately bioengineered virus. As best as we can tell, the most likely scenario is that it was being studied in animals in the lab, and got out. That's still not the most likely scenario. Most likely case is still that it developed in the wild somewhere near Wuhan. |

realnifty1 05/28/21 2:39:46 PM #27 | RadiantJoyrock posted... Yeah, and it's really sad that we're doing that instead of just making it mandatory. You shouldn't be rewarded for doing bare minimum. Much like lockdowns and mask mandates, there are often a lot of laws that prevent making it compulsory. |

But if the 3 lab employees who were hospitalized had the known to be, highly contagious Covid-19 where is the trail of infected patients and hospital workers? There is no indication that any of them had Covid and hospitals are more common for primary care in China than the US. It's early November, odds are they had the flu. |

realnifty1 05/28/21 2:33:25 PM #24 | Master Kazuya posted... Who gives a fuck what these morons do. I don't care if they get vaccinated or not, that's like me caring if they are wearing a seatbelt. Viruses aren't really analogous to seat belts, more like drinking and driving. The more people that get infected gives the virus more opportunity to mutate. The more it mutates the greater possibility it becomes resistant to the antibodies granted by one or all of the vaccines so far. To stop a virus for good you pretty much have to entirely squash it or it just comes back like a slasher movie villain later. |
Topic | Dude that bought the Charlie Bit My Finger NFT decided to keep it up on YouTube |
realnifty1 05/28/21 10:40:05 AM #23 | LightHawKnight posted... Does he even get to decide?Not by way of owning the NFT, but it seems like the creators were willing to do whatever it was the purchaser wanted. Greenfox111 posted... Can he make money off the youtube video now?The NFT is not the rights holder, so it does not legally grant them the right to make money off of it. (e.g. Buying a piece of original art does not allow you to start making and selling reproductions of that art). But it just depends on what the creators/copyright holders might grant the purchaser in addition to the NFT. |
Topic | Biden shuts down effort to prove Wuhan lab theory |
realnifty1 05/26/21 4:01:01 PM #20 | The_Korey posted... Pretty much the entire globe got fucked by this. US or not, someone with the power needs to get on this, and if suspicions are proven korrect, China should be held accountable for this krime against humanity. That's not how the world works. Even if we were to prove that not only China develop it, but they 100% released it intentionally, nothing more than strong words will come out of it. It's a waste of time and resources. Sure there is a chance this either came from the lab or potentially even was being developed in the lab, but both those are slim outcomes. I would support an independent commission investigating the origins and response to Covid, the what did we know when and how did we react so we can have a better plan in place for next time. (And there will be a next time). Focusing on the Wuhan lab though, it's just not productive. |
Topic | Something I've noticed about engineer/programmer types |
realnifty1 05/26/21 10:57:44 AM #81 | Not at all, I have on many occasion, where I'm the tech lead that an idea gets sent to once it has been vetted through product, said anything is possible in tech given enough time and money. The point is that is takes time and money just for to figure out how much time and money doing the idea would take. Not having that vetted with product vision before someone takes the time to scope it is a waste of time and money, especially when developer time is one of the most expensive and in demand things. It's not just the money you pay them, but the lost opportunity cost where you could have had them doing something you actually wanted. It is because developer resources are so precious that I try to impress on the new people to understand where and how they should be applying themselves. |
Topic | Something I've noticed about engineer/programmer types |
realnifty1 05/26/21 10:42:16 AM #78 | WingsOfGood posted... When you say it can't be done, you just look incompetent. No doesn't mean it can't be done. The answer is no, because those devs can't help you with this right now. No, they don't have cycles to work through your idea. No, they can't do this for you off the side of their desk. No, they don't have the authority to change the roadmap. |
Topic | Something I've noticed about engineer/programmer types |
realnifty1 05/26/21 10:12:01 AM #75 | WingsOfGood posted... As a programmer, I am the opposite. You can basically do anything you want given enough time and effort. As a senior developer this is one of the first things I break the newbies of. I do believe for almost all developers the default answer should be no, but not to tell them their ideas are stupid, even when they actually are. The reason for this is because there is a process for ideas and you shouldn't just be randomly asking my devs to do things. I have 2 years of roadmap with 5 years of work on it already, go convince leadership your idea is worth pursuing and then find a tech lead to workshop it with their blessing. Then once it is approved and placed on the roadmap we can start bringing more people to the conversation of accomplishing the details. |
