i_r_weldr,

Sir, you’re not allowed to have centrist or non left views on Lemmy.

i_r_weldr,

Not sure if this is in your realm or not, but I’m working on a diversion tunnel for a dam and we’re installing orifice pieces of varying internal diameter to slow the flow rate of the water. The orifices are being installed in order from smallest diameter to largest which seems counterintuitive to me. I would think you would go in descending diameter size to slowly restrict the flow in steps. Could you shed any light on why this would be engineered this way?

i_r_weldr,

Ahhhhh that would make sense, thanks for the answer!

i_r_weldr,

I find everyone uses time for long distances. I know it’s a 13 hour drive to Edmonton but damned if I know how many kilometres it is.

i_r_weldr,

We made a commitment to our allies to spend a minimum amount and we don’t. There shouldn’t even be a discussion on this, our military is a joke.

i_r_weldr,

I don’t drive truck. I feel like knowing the height of your truck/load would be an important part of your job no?

i_r_weldr,

I’ve read all the Witcher books, tried watching that dogshit show Hissrich made and couldn’t stomach it.

I read The Foundation series by Asimov and then watched Apple TV’s interpretation and really enjoyed the creative direction they took with it.

Netflix is a joke. An overpriced joke.

How long does a shadowban on Reddit last?

I think it started last week when my posts were not getting any upvotes at all. Then I posted a reddit link into incognito window and yep, my post appears as deleted. Probably because I was promoting kbin.social in some of the subreddits. F**kers. I accumulated 150K comment karma over the last 15 years....

i_r_weldr,

Shadowbans are permanent. And that’s how a shadowban works, you don’t know you’re banned and can log in but you don’t exist to everyone else.

Just an fyi, this is actually dangerous for babies. Their airways aren’t developed enough and it’s a suffocation risk.

i_r_weldr,

Back in my day we played Jedi Academy with realistic saber combat and dismemberment enabled through the command console

i_r_weldr,

Story time?

I work up north where it’s cold as fuck, company flys me in and out. On one travel day heading home somebody at air Canada forgot to plug the plane in after it’s final flight from the day before. I guess with what was drawing power and the frigid temperatures the battery(s) were no longer good to go for my flight. So their plan was to send a mechanic up from Vancouver with new battery(s) and get us in our way. They got halfway to us and realized they didn’t put the replacement battery(s) on the flight. So they had to turn around and get them and come back up. This caused me to miss my connection and the next one they could get me on was the next day. I submitted a claim since everything was 100% within their control. They denied it. So I replied to them with everything that happened, and told them to pay up or I was submitting a a claim with the CTA. They sent me a direct deposit for $1000 and and apology.

i_r_weldr,

It’s written by a university professor with a doctorate in clinical psychology who is activity involved with the subject at hand. But fuck the natpo right?

i_r_weldr,

Yes. I’ll take the word of the man with a doctorate studying the topic at hand putting his reputation on the line versus an anonymous source saying they’re wrong. Or can we only trust the ones whose views aline with our own regardless of substance?

i_r_weldr,

Of course, and the authors of the pro safe supply papers Dr. Somers cited as well. Which seemed to show that the current data didn’t support safe supply.

i_r_weldr,

Tell us how to pronounce it ffs

i_r_weldr,

I’m an idiot an breezed over it.

“tla-hut-um”

Gonna be a hard one to catch on in my honest opinion.

i_r_weldr,

Maybe it’ll get bastardized like Squamish or Tsawwassen? ƛ̓éxətəm and it’s anglicized pronunciation are going to be a hard sell for the general population.

i_r_weldr,

Dude never apologize for an educated informative rant like that. I wasn’t familiar with the different orthographies before, now I’ve learned something new so thank you. And I absolutely agree with the points you made even more so now that I know a little more.

i_r_weldr,

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I think mewing is doing a chomping exercise on a piece of rubber to increase your jaw muscles
