Cool thanks!

Sounds good. Looking forward to it

Depends on the choke. A 12 gauge full choke turkey gun can probably put a pretty tight pattern that range, but it’s gonna work better with bigger shot. If you want super fine shot and a full pattern, you aren’t shooting that far.

This assumes that all the water on the planet has been evenly mixed in about 80 years since Hitler’s death. I’d say if you’re living in New Zealand you’re likely a lot safer than if you have lived 80 years near germany. I assume the issue is less “Hitler rain” than Hitler ground water.

I don’t fundamentally disagree with you. I would contend that the problem is not that billionaires exist, it’s that there is a legal path to becoming a billionaire.

This post is a combo shame of other poors like us who like a product generated by a billionaire and a yell at the sky because TS (and whoever the other person was) aren’t reading it anyway. You can be mad at billionaires who sit on their hoard and don’t give it to society for free, or we can all say enough is enough and make it a call to action to DO something. Like vote and participate in government for example.

Ok fair enough. That wasn’t my read of it.

Ok so what, posts like this are to shame billionaires into giving their money away because if they don’t you will call them pieces of shit?

I’m sure that will definitely work.

Maybe instead of that we can work on being involved and elect people from the ground up who will prioritize people, and consider a tax code with some teeth. It’s not nearly as glamorous as meming though. Pointing your finger at billionaires for existing even though they will never see it is a bold strategy. Probably better to be pointing your finger at your lazy ass friends for not participating in even one day a year of contributing to society by voting.

So… The endgame here is that billionaires CAN exist, but any of them who don’t give away their wealth are assholes? So are we all here on these posts just to peer pressure billionaires to give away money?

That’s certainly going to be a helpful approach.

You also can’t snap your fingers and take everyone off the street. Sure, you can pay for places and help, but people aren’t obliged to take it. Unless you’re arguing for forcing that situation?

I understand the argument is simply “billionaires shouldn’t exist”, but that’s a job for the government by way of taxation. There’s no reason to point fingers at TS, she sells something people want really bad for some reason. Instead, point your finger at any of your asshole friends who don’t vote or show up to help the cause.

Otherwise what? TS sucks because she’s disgustingly rich, and the only way out is to give it all away? And then of course all other billionaires will follow suit?

These posts really seem like nothing more than “it’s cathartic to yell at the sky, and it’s even better if some people like the sky”.

Could be, I’m no expert on cycling.

TODO: pedal vs peddle.

I bet there’s not a gratuitous amount of bicycling going on over in .ml land, but I could be mistaken.

Not sure what you use to measure with it besides firewood, but hey, it’s imperial: the more units the merrier.

How many grams of fire to make 88000 calories?

To heat from 40F to 200F with 10 pounds of milk is 1600 degreelbs and we can heat 16000 degreebls with 10 buffaloxen of firewood, so, conveniently, we know this process takes one clean buffalox of firewood. Pretty trivial in imperial* units.

I agree of course with the use of metric (even if it’s fun to take the piss), but you’ve arrived at an equivalently meaningless result in either case. Now if you want to use a calculator and go from calories to kWh, it’s a different story.

Yock

I guess I’d say keep your mouth shut. Better to have people think you’re stupid, than say something that proves it. Pretty sure that’s how the saying goes anyway.

What’s it like being stupid?

I was here ready to support someone who says “hey don’t break into people’s houses” and then you start acting like a shitbird and I gotta downvote, I can’t even back you up.

I’m a dirty gun-owning Democrat, and it doesn’t matter what your political affiliation is, if you break into my house with my wife and children inside, you’re gonna have trouble.

Ah. I understood “block” as “don’t show that content”. If you’ve already touched poo, then yeah it’s probably hard to get off your hand.

Sure you can block them. It’s really easy

For sure. A pinch or pinch and a half will do ya. 1/2 tsp and you’ve gone too far.

None of it should factor. At all.

The distinction between the candidates was clear enough:

1. I will lower your taxes (for billionaires), I don’t like immigrants, and I will say all the stuff you think and the lefties made it bad to say. Also if I don’t win I’m going to jail because, for enough money I will do whatever you want (for Russia, Elon, or anyone else).

2. I am an actual qualified candidate.

There was no choice. It was taxes and fear and tribalism with a special sprinkle of election interference attempts around the horn.

She was appointed? So what? Elect her because she’s a better choice, then fix that problem.
