dnick@sh.itjust.worksto politics @lemmy.world•House Ethics report finds AOC ‘impermissibly accepted gifts’ related to 2021 Met Gala appearance | CNN Politics9·9 days agoWhat a perfect example of someone ‘not’ trying to cheat the system being held to a ridiculously higher bar than those who are so used to cheating that they do it in their sleep.
Basically, cheat at everything and when you get called out on it, do something worse so the ‘evidence’ and questions immediately become trivial because there’s something far worse to address. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
Don’t worry, if you think there is a limit where ‘how can i do something worse and still get away with it?’… Apparently there isn’t.
From what I’ve seen, hail rarely harms the paint at all before the point where it will leave dents.
dnick@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why can you drive on fresh pavement immediately but if your driveway gets paved you can't use it for a week while it cures?21·16 days agoLikely a mixture of these answers, though if you want to wait for an expert to weigh in maybe ask for that. A roadway is obviously a very different environment with a lot of money and research put into ensuring it can handle a lot of traffic and weight, having to accommodate worst case scenarios so it’s obviously going to have a very strong base, and a comparitively very durable and thick base of asphalt. Your driveway, on the other hand, is probably going to be covered in a mixture very much driven by price. If you do the minimum underlayment and thickness, you’re probably going to need to give it every advantage possible to avoid rework.

I don’t know how they can lie about the height of someone who must certainly be one of the most photographed people in the world (POTUS, I mean, why in the world anyone would want to photograph Trump himself is beyond me), but pretty sure even that one is wrong. The others are much easier to lie about, even if they are obviously wrong.
dnick@sh.itjust.workstoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•Pen is mightier than the swordEnglish0·8 months agoI think people are pretty clear that it’s not the ceo part that makes people evil, it’s just that the behavior it normally takes to get to that position within a big company is basically never rainbows and Mr Rogers.
That ‘financial responsibility to maximize shareholder profit’ isn’t a joke and it often takes people with very little empathy to do it. With maybe some exceptions for some small companies or people who built the business from the ground up, i can’t think of a single person in a CEO role, or aspiring to one, that would make anything close to a good ‘friend’, or even what most people would consider a good person.
It knows what it did
