Love how even the examples make no sense, Like $130 for a week and a half is what like $12 a day? Like what even is a fancy soda or drink in this example? and for a 10 or 11 day stretch $35 on protein bars is the cost of a coffee a day. Hell I wish I could feed myself for only $12 a day.
“Gen Z, meanwhile, said they often choose high-quality snacks and beverages, which makes for expensive grocery bills.
One 23-year-old Gen Zer told Business Insider by text that he spends about $130 on groceries for a week and a half. “Fancy sodas and drinks” and “random snacks at Trader Joe’s” account for the bulk of the bill. He also said he spends about $35 on protein bars.”
From the article it doesn’t seem like anyone failed to recognize sarcasm. It mentions how times are tough so the “splurge” target is much more mundane and low-cost.
It comes with bitter humour for sure but the whole thing isn’t some sarcastic joke. And the article and surveyors understood it as what it is. Kids are poor as shit so can’t splurge on almost anything. One thing people spend more than necessary are fancier snacks but that’s about it.
The article is outrage baiting though which is a tactic that always works.
No, I haven’t heard this “general opinion”. Any conversation I’ve been a part of or observed (which, to be fair, is less than a few dozen) has always defaulted to the driver being at fault.
I’m not sure where you live that the general opinion is victim blaming, but it doesn’t sound like a pleasant place.
I’m just trying to gauge the roughness of your area, it seems you don’t want to be specific which is fine.
I live in Manchester in the UK, healthy level of gangs, knife crime etc. yet I’ve never felt the need to walk around with a hammer. Like I’ll walk through moss side with no issue.
I guess my point is I am wondering if you’re just being worried about nothing or you’re living in hell.
I mean my city is a rust belt and it’s kinda rough crime-wise. But drivers, especially, are fucking crazy. I lived in other places and people were actually quiet on the wheel. Here, I have a friend who had a case for homicide attempt after a truck rammed him “for fun”. He won. Pretty much every cyclist I know got hit by a car.
In case anyone’s unclear about how someone gets to the point that they’re blasting their gun into an empty street because an acorn fell on their car, you should learn about How Cops Are Trained to Shoot You in Your Home.
TL;DW: watch it, this is important. But also they are basically traumatised into being jumpy trigger happy motherfuckers by their sociopathic training.
I was thinking the same. People are probably mixing up the being alive during the construction of the pyramids with coexisting with them. Even us today coexist with the pyramids and could be accurately pictured around them.
We had a project once called Asset Analytics which the steering team decided to shorten to AssAnal. It lasted a couple of months until it was changed to metrics
I worked night shift in a metal fabrication shop about 11 years ago.
Two bastions of humanity figured out that they could light an oxyfuel torch and adjust it to a neutral flame, snuff the flame out of a glove or something, and then use the torch to fill a plastic sandwich bag with a perfect mixture of oxygen and acetylene. They would then place this bag somewhere and light it on fire, which made a lot of noise. They had great fun until they tried it with a small office-sized trash bag. The word of the day is brisance. It made a tremendous bang which cracked some glass in the shop, but of course our two heroes were caught in the blast amd burned, because a sandwich bag made a loud pop, but a trash bag was more of a bomb. They lit the trash bag like they did the little bags, by holding a lighter to the plastic.
We had another shop in the chain I worked for fire everyone for doing that when I was a mechanic. There were no injuries but the neighboring businesses called 911 because they thought there was a bomb.
I was at an xmas party one year where the workshop boys did this with an upturned 44 gallon drum. It was the loudest bang I’ve ever heard. I thought we were under some sort of attack.
They expected the drum to launch a little but what actually ended up happening was the upturned metal bottom blew off and launched a LOT punching a hole in the workshop roof. It’s a miracle that nobody was hurt (their hearing probably was). Somehow they didn’t get fired.
I was invited to a rural party for new years, I’m pretty sure it was 2003-2004. I drank entirely too much, and saw some friends crushing beer cans, and was inspired. I found an old 55-gallon steel drum, put a bunch of water in it, and rolled it into the bonfire. Once steam was shooting out, I put the bungs back on it and rolled it into the pond. After a few minutes, there was a metallic “bang” and the drum was folded in on itself.
The guy who invited me to the party told everyone for years that I used my head to crush a steel drum.
I think there’s plenty of use for a computer in the woods, particularly for automation, telling time, etc. just not any task that requires internet obviously.
For example, imagine having a solar panel and battery connected to an Arduino that controls some sort of motor or pump and at certain times of the day it turns on and waters your crops. You could even use sensors connected to the Arduino to measure environmental conditions like temperature, humidity, and soil moisture.
Shhh, you’ll attract the solarpunks and then we’ll really be finding out all about the ways of low-tech and high-nature. Some of us have things to do today other than design low-watt high-flow irrigation.
Gotta beware those IR satellite cameras tho. Tunnels. For real privacy you need tunnels.
Also nukes, or someone’s going to invade you before you’re done.
But not ordinary nukes, off the shelf at your nearest military supplier. Those aren’t really free, you know, and besides licensing issues you never know what trackers and backdoors are hidden inside.
