givesomefucks , to Work Reform in Every damn day

It's rarely worth an argument. Especially for the early millennials that came up when boomers were still running around everywhere.

I don't know what the article says they're doing, but yeah, if there's a way to do something without having to talk to cranky old people about it, we're just going to do shit the quiet way.

Why give them the opportunity to turn it into an argument?

Dealing with those boomers is like dealing with toddlers.

Vinegar

Anything with hard water, just soak with vinegar.

You can even fill a ziplock bag and tie it on a faucet.

If your water is really hard, pour vinegar into that little tube in your toilet too, the jets get clogged easily and that flushes them out and prevents them from blocking up. If they are blocked, the vinegar will eventually open them up if you don't regularly.

Obviously water softener if you don't have one, but depending what your waters like you may have to do more.

givesomefucks , to Ask Science in If life never emerged on Earth, would the continents still be more or less the same today? In other words, does life affect the formation and movement of continents significantly?

Definitely.

The land would look like Mars except with oceans.

But even tidal forces wouldn't substantial change the shape of continents on the globe.

There's not much that effects plate tectonics. What happen would have always happened.

Life like animals?

Or plants?

Plant growth 100% changes shit, but as far as would a globe unrecognizable?

No, the general shape would be the same, but coastlines would be a lot different.

givesomefucks , to Politics in [Article] Voters reject stadium tax for Royals and Chiefs

The only way privately owned clubs should exist is like English football.

Where the owner pays for everything, and if you fuck up you get sent down and less money. I don’t think a team has ever moved locations, they’re that city’s team.

With the NFL, there is zero risk and a guaranteed return on investment thru profit sharing. 2022 was $375,000,000 to every team just for existing. And the salary cap ensures players can only get so much. You hear stories all the time about star players taking lower pay to help the team like they’re heros.

When really they should all be striking to remove the salary cap.

Hell, most of them only have a few years of good salary. Rookie contracts are a joke, and the majority never get a second. Get rid of the draft even. Let them sign where they want for whatever pay they want.

It’s all done under the guise of “fairness for the game” but who honestly thought the Lions have as good of a shot as the Chiefs?

Being drafted by the wrong team can (and has) literally ruined careers before. Trades are no better, imagine your job saying you had to move to a shit hole city or you could no longer work for any company in your industry

If the owners get all the benefits of capitalism, why are the players stuck in such a limited system?

givesomefucks , to Work Reform in Why is this Community on the Boot-Licker Instance?

Why ask how to block an instance, and then go make a post on that instance trolling? In fact, it looks like you only post to that instance…

Wouldn’t the intelligent thing to just block someone/thing you never want to interact with?

Or do you just not understand what you’re complaining about?

givesomefucks , to Politics in Congress owes it to Americans to fund the Affordable Connectivity Program

Paid for it at least 3 times.

Billions of taxpayer dollars to giant corporations who just keep asking for it again a few years later

givesomefucks , to Politics in Congress owes it to Americans to fund the Affordable Connectivity Program

We’ve funded it multiple times, giving the telecoms billions and then them not doing it again won’t solve anything.

We need to acknowledge that it’s a public utility and those shouldn’t be managed by private corporations.

givesomefucks , to Personal Finance in When people say they lost their 401k

If it’s a “personal” one it does whatever you or the person you pay to manage it wants it to do.

A lot of it is by “shares” for company/government 401ks though.

Depending on the economy one share might be worth $20 or $200.

Some people in multi index funds will try to time it. When the market is bad they switch to the high risk index, knowing the fund rarely sells stock and wait for prices to go up. When their up and don’t think it will last, they put it in the safe but practically no interest indes.

Most people aren’t good at that.

“Lifecycle index’s” start high risk when you’re young, and slowly shift to low risk when you get close to your chosen age.

Because at 30 a crash on your 401k doesn’t matter, if anything it’s when you should max donations. But a recession the year you’re gonna retire means you keep working till your 401k.rebounds.

givesomefucks , to Ask Science in Why did groups of human beings migrate to northern zones of the world, and how did they survive?

Pre agriculture you need a lot of land to support a small amount of humans.

It’s not like someone walked from Africa to Norway. A group would expand a little North, settle, then another group would move a little further north.

It was a slow gradual migration. So people slowly got used to the changes.

But like you said, the further North the less food, so they had to spread further and further each time.

givesomefucks , to Personal Finance in 12% 401(k) Contribution - What to do? [USA]

if it’s too good to be true, it’s probably not

12% even if you don’t put any in should set off alarm bells.

Like, who is managing that 401k? Is it related to someone running your company?

How’s the salary compared to similar jobs? Are you making 15% less and that’s where it’s coming from?

What is mid 5 digits? 50k? That means you’d be making 56k if you got it all in pay.

It’s not a bad wage, but something crazy like 12% 401k no matter what is usually for stuff at least twice your salary for tax reasons.

I get not wanting to put details online, but you should find a coworker who’s been there a long time and ask about what’s going on. If no one’s been there more than a few years, that’s another huge red flag

givesomefucks , to Ask Science in ADP keeps running ads about solar flairs that force earth into a 25 hour day. Could a solar flair even do that, and what distasters would happen if Earth's orbit changed?

Like, it would be daylight for 25 hours?

No, day/night is because the earth rotates. Solar flares have nothing to do with that.

Statistically tho we’re way over due for a massive solar flare. And it would pretty much blow every electrical transformer on the day side of the planet when it hits.

To replace all of them would be a massive undertaking and could potentially take years to restore electrical grids everywhere.

So they’re a concern, just no idea what you’re talking about with a 25 hour day.

givesomefucks , to LinkedinLunatics in If you really thought this, it'd be company policy and the employee wouldn't have to ask. Faked for engagement?

Not just for clout.

There’s a good chance he’s saying that to get people to apply at where he works, and people would be told (or at least think) that exceptions to the written rule are frequent and not a big deal.

Then when the new round of (likely disposable) employees ask for something, they’re told to fuck off an to read their hiring agreement.

Usually the worst a business is, the more they make up weird stories about how cool it is to work there. Because they have to trick people into accepting positions.
