Spend 50 years bribing two countries each $3billion+/year to not do war to eachother, and eventually they might start doing business with eachother instead. Not sure weapons-sales are an upside though.

Something personal against post titles or descriptions? I'm not clicking that as-is, although google's failure to put an extention on file-links and hand in obfuscating them is surely not a design decision I can blame on you personally ... or is it?

Sure, blame the kids. Not like that's exactly what previous generations have done or anything. All I see here is more blame-shifting and passing the buck.

Its always confounded me that, somewhere along the line, Simping:Spending time and money to let a stranger on the internet know you think she's pretty and you likely see romance as transactional, got conflated with "Simping": having the guts and sincerity to compliment a woman in-person, without reservation or expectation of reward.

Like, what? How did that become a thing?

Little I have seen here has made me regret subscribing anywhere close to this much. Some poor woman not only slept with, but married that piece of shit. Let's hope that last line in green is spot on.

Where did they get the idea that that's a more respectable response?

EDIT: Doesn't/shouldn't work for their liability either. Vocabulary fail on my part.

Wait. Are you under the impression that that flimsy 1.5in tube-steel, the steps leading up to it, and the sheet-metal platform connected to that are somehow load-bearing for the Ferris Wheel itself?

This setup all rides on/is a trailer with outriggers like you'll find on construction equipment.

Sure, that's all hidden by the platform that's literally there for no other reason than to support the riders as they enter and leave the ride, but if your county inspectors don't know to check the outriggers first, you've got problems, so many problems, none of which have anything to do with these particular carnies.

Edit: One of the outriggers, one of several, promise, to the right of the stair. You'll notice there is no BS between it and the ground, as it itself is height-adjustable.

Bad fit for this community. He's right. The entrepeneur world is full of the wrong sorts of people to be starting businesses, unless your only criteria for "success" is getting bought-out early for a ridiculous amount, letting all the employees go, and telling existing customers to go fuck themselves.

Those with a legitimate problem to solve tend to have the will and motivation to see that it, or more likely whatever small portion they've figured out, stays solved, at least for a good while.

As "The IT Guy", having to call another with this shit is the stuff of nightmares. Like, are you suuure you can't just make me look like a fool and get this over with so we can both move on with our days?

... the time to do this shit has long been upon us. Who gives a fuck what they can do, until they do it? As an American, I'm begging you, put up or shut-up.

I didn't vote for the baby in office, and I would gladly suffer to see his toys taken away by the adults.

Not that he's not reselling them, but paying a 9% tax for every single item you posses beyond $500 in value every time you cross the border is just absurd. Remind me to never take my laptop, phone, or a decent camera anywhere near Singapore.

All that aside, I thought the idea of customs and import duties was versus new items, not things that can be picked-up at a second-hand store or pawn shop. If he provided itemized receipts, would they even believe him if the prices weren't high-enough? ... or were "too old"?

Joke's on them. Ignoring it is the easy part. Guilt doesn't help. Meds do.

Meanwhile, constant anxiety kills you young. Imagine being so obsessed with being useful that you don't live long enough to pull it off.

You apparently have no idea the dick's talent for aiming for the crack between the seat and rim, no matter how you go about "tucking" it downwards to try to prevent just that. Even sitting, leaning so far forward your hands are on the floor, is no guarantee.

No. Mouth full of drink as if going to gargle. Tilt head back, open mouth, drop in pill(s), IMMEDIATELY swallow, AND chase with more drink.

Dear god, its like some people want to taste our crimes against nature.

Air conditioners are already heat-pumps. This change would moreso replace furnaces.

Every time I consider that my near-a-terrabyte may be a little excessive, I'll remember anon.

Then again, I keep videos to 720P or less, and convert gifs to video, so if anon's an HD and/or 3D/Vr maniac, I could easilly have more than them, measured in playback time.

As a tech, I HATED how often this worked. I want to know what actually went wrong. I usually have some idea ... but no, finding that out is rarely the job.

Sorry to say, your #16 sheet-metal plus a couple 2x6's on either side with bolts is not heavy enough nor strong enough to consistently and repeatedly do the job on the scale required. 16guage is about as rigid as a wet noodle. I would go with 1/8", 3/16" or even 1/4inch sheet metal.

However, please, do NOT let my critique discourage you from building and using this demonstrator repeatedly until you can crowd-source the necessary repairs and upgrades.

Personally, I don't care if having their vertebra repeatedly used to sound the flimsiest gong possible makes a few billionaires last moments that much more painful and humiliating.

It is worth mentioning though, the French Revolution did not have access to semi-auto, reliable, firearms, while both bullets and guns are, today, both plentiful and cheap.

Residential towers at that...
