Listen: Our endless output of porn is the reason why aliens continue to leave us alone! They don't want to mess up this good thing that just keeps coming.

I approve this pedantry because I too am not a scientist 👍

Why is the Trump administration doing this? When you're a huge piece of shit anything labeled, "clean" seems like fiction.

If anyone needs proof that conservatives are so befuddled by reality they'll just make shit up to fit a convenient narrative this story is it. They're blaming a living transgendered pilot for a helicopter/plane crash that had no survivors.

This story is definitive proof that the reason why Donald Trump won the election is because many Americans are so fucking unbelievably stupid they can't tell the difference between a living person and a pile of ash and debris. They'll believe fucking anything if it fits the narrative in their head or it's said by their sacred, worshipped authority figure.

It takes too long for the stress to work its way down.

To be fair, I think many of us would be far too tempted to mess with people if we lived that long. How many people here would say something absolutely ridiculous like, "I drink my own piss at least once a week!" Or, "I catch and eat all the squirrels that get near by bird feeders!"

In response, billionaires should get together and donate a few billion dollars to public defenders, pay off people's medical debt, and offer to buy Mar-a-Lago in order to turn it into public housing.

Redo the caulk at the edge of the glass frame. I'm 75% certain that's where your problem lies... Had something similar 👍

Basically what's happening is that water is getting out somewhere under that glass frame, going through the grout on the other side, then flowing out the side. The water could be entering all the way at the opposite end of where you see it coming out.

In fact, I'd re-caulk everything that has caulk. Don't re-do the grout; that won't fix anything. If re-caulking doesn't fix it then you really do need to take the whole shower out and redo it (I know, "fuuuuuuck"). Been in that situation before too 😞

I just want a minimap and waypoints

Yeah! This would help so much in navigating the fridge!

Simple example every Comcast customer suffers with: Comcast services (including VoIP and streaming TV) don't count towards the monthly bandwidth cap. So if you watch 2 seasons of a show in 4k via Comcast's streaming service that doesn't count towards the cap but if you watch the very same show via Netflix it'll put you over your bandwidth cap, resulting in additional fees.

It's an egregious violation of network neutrality and, IMHO an abuse of their natural monopoly. Internet providers should not be allowed to also sell content/streaming services or own media companies! It's a huge conflict of interest that will always disfavour the consumer.

Furthermore, when Comcast streams their own services they get priority over all other traffic; even traffic going to your neighbor's Internet connections. So if your neighborhood is experiencing a bandwidth crunch and your neighbor decides to watch some 4k stream via Comcast's service the back-end routers will prioritize that traffic over any and all other traffic which will interfere with everyone's else's Internet connections. So if your video stream suddenly drops to 480p for no reason (wired connection, no bad weather) it's probably because someone in your neighborhood decided to watch something via Comcast's streaming service.

I work for a huge financial institution. Every now and again some manager gets it in their head that it might be a motivating factor to say something like, "this is costing/going to save the company millions of dollars!"

In my head I'm like, "Yeah, so what you're saying is that this fix/improvement is so trivial as to barely be worth anyone's time." If your company makes billions of dollars in pure profit every fucking quarter a few million dollars here and there over the course of a year is the equivalent of a middle class individual losing a quarter down a storm drain once... In their lifetime.
