I’m actually more interested in those shiny individuals…

😬 no, guess I wooshed myself haha

Probably how much plastic we use. Back in the days of this ad, stuff still came in glass.

All the disposable nonsense seemed to sharply rise in use afterwards. Everyone remembers the line from The Graduate, “get into plastics”…

We make pretty good food. Lots of people from all over the world living it up in the city.

I’d bet you can get damn good salsa, but perhaps not as easily as just talking to some gente right there in Texas.

Never been to tx, no plans to, just saying the real mexicanos will know what’s up, whether in NYC or Texas.

I’ve met a few, and they were/are damned good electricians. Quality was A1, as a former electrician.

What the hell? That’s so wack and useless. Stating the obvious, I know. Just saying I feel for your and others who may have had to deal with that kind of behavior.

It’s a race to the bottom, which I’d call a systematic bug.

Who’s buying anything fun when nobody has a job? So yeah, I agree with what you’re saying too.

I miss my old city sometimes.

When you didn’t want to/couldn’t pay for a view of the statue of liberty, just hop on the ferry with your family who’ve come up to visit and enjoy the gentle hum of a massive machine plying the waters quietly at night.

It’s a terrible idea, having been a biker in socal. You’d think ventilated fabric, even a regular t-shirt with air moving on you from your forward motion would cool you…

It doesn’t. You’re actually adding heat (thermal energy) to your body faster than it can be removed by your sweat glands, the glands cannot output water fast enough to match the thermal energy being injected into you as the hot air passes over your body. You actually need to insulate yourself with a wind blocking jacket, at which point fuck that, stop riding, and wait a few hours.

It’s a very odd sensation, but you understand it almost without explanation if you’ve tried it… So what were these guys thinking, ignoring their body’s alarm bells?

I’m not freaking out. Let’s figure out what we need to do. It’d be more of a problem if it were a week ahead of the elections.

If we gotta get violent to protect the ones we love, so be it. Till that time, keep it cool and think.

Nah, calm down.

Nah. Chill out.

I miss when the US was renowned for its peace corps, building wells and hospitals, helping communities which weren’t relevant to our income, but were helped for the sake of helping.

I can only mind my small corner, though we all work on our own little projects which may have positive effects in a larger sense.

I grew up here and want to share our wealth with all who strive to benefit both team human, and mother nature. We must quest for good, both locally and globally, or die trying.

For fucking real bro, just ask them if they’ve actually read the Bible or constitution in it’s entirety.

Crickets, every fucking time.

Just block this low-quality troll. Don’t engage, just let 'em die of loneliness (like real life).

PVC, but sure. Cute regardless

I think I was wrong, see edit. Carry on!

Yeah but JIS for screws/bolts has been abandoned by the Japanese govt as of… 2005?

My JIS screwdrivers are fantastic, not easy to torque out on a regular Phillips screw. Stick with the “vessel” brand.

E: I can’t find anything more than discussion about it, nothing official. Sorry for the wrong info, looks like JIS screws are still alive.

Thanks for this, new to the area and this helps with finding events (and actually getting there)

I understood you meant the first one. I’m also biased towards the people of my former home city.

There are several sources that collude to raise prices for the average New Yorker, rent and food amongst them. I’m not at all blaming the lady taking the job remotely, there is pain in financing & operating the business, for the employees in getting to and from, and getting paid close to what their work is actually worth.

The bitch is that none of this system is voluntary. Work or starve, how inhumane.
