I’ve seen a carbon fiber fork withstand the weight of a car (equivalent, not an actual full size car)

I’ve also seen a carbon fiber rear triangle fold from bumping into a rock at an almost-standstill.

Gotta say, I like the idea of a titanium bike.

Oh, for sure they made tons of mistakes, I just thought of that one as the most glaringly obvious “framing issue”. I’ve seen all the episodes as aired and as on DVD, with commentary and special features, because I’m a super nerd, and given your pfp and the fact you know how they framed it tells me you know a thing or two yourself!

If I remember correctly, they framed it for wide-screen knowing that in the future it could be put out in other formats than TV, so wanted widescreen from the start. Bts footage shows the framing boxes for tv/wide on the monitors.

I love catching mistakes and weird choices in my shows. For instance: in Firefly, Alan Tudyk is pretending to hold the controls of Serenity because they couldn’t have him up in the normal spot for framing reasons.

But yeah, I’m actually rewatching SGA now and their weird focus issues (and let’s be honest, terrible backgrounds) are especially bad in season 1.

I also did not think it was clear.

Honestly my first thought was “is this a religious question like do your braces go with you to heaven/hell or something?”

Honestly I don’t see how it could be LOWER. I have a very dim view of the US Healthcare system, particularly where insurance companies are concerned.

Why do the surgery that only has a 93% chance of success that will give the person use of their legs, that costs $250,000 when a $300 wheelchair will get them from A to B.

Given that I have had to wait MONTHS for an appointment before, and my primary care Dr I have to schedule 2 months in advance, when people complain that they’ll have to wait longer than a week to see a doctor I wonder who they fucked over to get Healthcare that quickly.

gestures wildly at the world ARE YOU FUCKING BLIND?

What a long winded way to say “I am a piece of shit who likes to see others suffer, because feel I am superior.”

Either you stand to unfairly gain from the current system, or you’re an idiot who not only listens to companies like Walmart tell you about “welfare queens” but buys it hook line and sinker.

Or you’re a troll, I guess.

Because if you think what you pay in premiums is less than what you’d pay with properly managed universal healthcare, you’re simply stupid. Not ignorant, stupid. Unable or unwilling to learn.

Next you’ll tell me ALL tea is sweet tea!

Did my union I joined when I got the job get me 15% more than the others already working there?

No.

Did I immediately get a little over 15% compared to similar job listing’s in the area, AND more than 18% more than my previous job?

Yes.

When I get home, I’ll work on making a normal printable version!

I have a few hobby machines that do special things, so I have it scattered into a few files to make it go from one machine to the next.

I’ve had to explain how tax brackets work to my parents multiple times. And my mother was a math substitute teacher for over a decade before quitting because educational work isn’t worth the bullshit for little pay.

I will always vote for increased education budgets.

That made me physically recoil, “quarter of 8” just sounds so clunky.

99% of the time here, it’s just directly stating the time. Sometimes a Gen x will say “half past” or “quarter past” but not often anymore. I’ve never heard “quarter OF”

Your mom dun talk weird

My mother WORKS IN HEALTHCARE as the intermediary for the hospital network and the insurance companies.

She literally sees the Financials of people every fucking day.

And still she thinks socialized Healthcare would tank the entire US. I’ve shown charts, studies, anecdotal evidence out the wazoo (which is where anecdotal evidence usually comes from) But no, I can’t possibly be right about this, it would mean someone who got stabbed will have to wait on 600 people with the sniffles to be seen by a doctor in 6 months. Because I guess in socialized medicine, triage doesn’t exist? You can’t logic someone out of a position they didn’t logic themselves into.

Hmm. It’s been a thing for every union I’ve been a part of, but it makes sense it wouldn’t be ALL of them that do it. I’m sure some just simply aren’t large enough to do it like that.

You’re literally partially making sure you still get PAID when shit happens.

Very good point, and I honestly wonder how common that knowledge even is.

Then again, almost all anti-union propaganda hinges on people not knowing enough about the subject to call it out. As with most propaganda.

Don’t get me started on pop vs soda…

I say soda, wife says pop. We have a little exchange of “correcting” each other a couple times a month.

Lived from Virginia to Ohio, Indiana Illinois and Michigan, also heard “can’t see the forest FOR the trees” which I always figures was a more colloquial change.

Legit had someone from my last job start going on a break room tirade about how “those damn unions just want your money” but strangely had no rebuttal when asked why giving them 2% of your paycheck is a bad thing when they negotiated your RAISE to be 15% and your health benefits add up to an additional savings of around 20%.

I’m SO SORRY you’re getting extra money and healthcare rather than the NOTHING you had before.

Nowadays I like to print up cards with unionizing information on them, facts vs myths, links to read up more, anti-union tactics, links to join unions, links to find HELP setting up a union, and basically anything I could cram into a business card. Now I leave about 10 of them any time I go into a non union store.

Given how previous management has reacted to “someone” leaving these in the break room, I’m sure I’ve caused a few sleepless nights.
