Uff. Almost....
  • It's going to be like 2 pallets of diet coke, 1 pallet of coke 2l. A mix pallet of sprite/fanta/everything else in 2 liter form. Two pallet of diet coke, a pallet of coke, a pallet or coke/zero mix/non caff cans. A mix pallet of 2L, with some body armor thrown on top. 2 Pallets of Dasani, and a pallet of all the annoying shit...

    (I would be shocked if more than 25% of 2 liters and 15% of cans broke)

    Source: I merchandise for coke, the fact that they call it "merchandiser" and not "soda grunt" is a travesty... I was in better shape then any other point in my life.

  • Elon Musk is pissing off everyone on Trump’s team
  • I hope he pisses them off so much Trump strips him of his wealth... then maybe other rich people would see why this future is going to suck.

  • 'My personal failure was being stumped': Gabe Newell says finishing Half-Life 2: Episode 3 just to conclude the story would've been 'copping out of [Valve's] obligation to gamers'
  • It's like pharmaceuticals. No one starts a new pharma company expecting to compete with Pfizer or Merck, the whole game is to develop a promising drug and then get your company bought out by one of them so they can use their resources to get it to the market.

  • Are the inside parts of toilets universal?
  • Yeah... anything that isn't the original construction is done a "rare" way...

  • I'm thinking yes
  • I am thinking a GIANT slingshot on the coast of California...

  • Woman told House Ethics Committee she saw Gaetz have sex with minor, her lawyer says
  • Honestly I firmly believe he has been acting in bad faith all this time. It will temporarily settle my nauseous stomach during the Trump administration when they throw him into the pyre regardless of all his boot licking. Fucking centrist jellyfish AG.

  • Trump said to lift all military restrictions on Israel on 1st day in office according to reports
  • Oh for sure. I wonder how many of the 5.5M they started with are even left.

  • Are the inside parts of toilets universal?
  • They inset tile like over the toilet... so it's not getting replaced without a re-tile job. The toilet height is fine in my opinion.

  • As a young American, how do I motivate myself to work? It feels like the entire system is a scam and it's pointless to even try.
  • Yeah, I mean it all really depends on how you define work... people don't usually quantify their free time properly

  • Are the inside parts of toilets universal?

    I am from the US, and was wondering if any kit works on every home toilet.

    Judge orders hearing to review Onion’s purchase of Alex Jones’s InfoWars
  • Auctions are contracts, most of them are beholden to the highest bidder. I am guessing thr lawyers are either being paid to make media waves, or they didn't read the terms of the auction.

  • Mayor Adams’ office directs NYC agencies to launch BlueSky accounts amid growth on new platform
  • It takes little effort to make a post. Why not just be on them all?

  • The Onion Wins Bidding for InfoWars Assets
  • It's not some secret, I think it was in the AP reporting. The victims took a lower offer for the asset from The Onion because they didn't want it to continue to spread hate.

  • New York City police will send drones to sites of reported robberies and gunshots
  • My cat is stuck in a tree... And the tree has a gun!

  • Trump Picks Todd Blanche, His Defense Lawyer, to Be Deputy Attorney General - The New York Times
  • Wow, this is entirely too plausible. Why isn't their reporting on it?

  • Scientists Fear What’s Next for Public Health if RFK Jr. Is Allowed To ‘Go Wild’
  • I feel like the answer to most of these open ended questions are that the taxpayers are going to waste a Yuuge! amount of money on lawsuits from a ton of different states. Things will get tied up in court, their will be rulings, rulings will be ignored, etc. If nothing else, we can rest assured we are going to see our tax dollars lit on fire. Budgets, especially states, are going to be wrecked

  • Tommy Tuberville threatens to end career of any GOP senator who blocks Matt Gaetz
  • Right... that's why there should be a high salary and good pension for running, getting elected and serving. If you can run once and technically retire decently, it would incentivize normal people to run. Hopefully once you have enough regular folk you can ban insider trading.

    But even as it is, insider trading only really helps the people with money already. What am I gonna take the pittance I have in the bank and invest it? I would only be slightly less poor, even with some amazing trades.

    Did something about mass produced ice cream change like 10 years ago?

    Maybe I am going crazy, but I have noticed a difference about ice cream and its only been Maybe the last 8-10 years was when I first noticed it.

    Ice cream from the supermarket doesn't seem to melt properly, and is also way too soft. This seems most noticeable in novelties now, but also most hard ice cream as well.

    Did they add some component to make it softer or less likely to freezer burn? Am I just going crazy?

    (US, but I assume anywhere else where the same brands are sold have had the same issue.)

    Best first person shooters for PS5?

    I am looking for first person shooter type games (that preferably have an active multi player base) for PS5. My preference is for more type RPG games with a lot of permanent upgrades for the weapon, character, skill, etc. The more focused on upgrade and specialization the better.

    Excluding suggestions COD, Borderlands and Xdefiant.

    Is there a community for gaming questions, specifically for PS5?

    All the communities I could find were related PC or Linux gaming. I am specifically looking for a recommended list of good FPS on PS5

    Thanks for all the suggestions so far.

    What could I do with the digital screens from discarded vapes?

    And batteries... but the ratio is getting out of hand.

    If you could only have 1GB of entertainment data, what would it be?

    You are going away, to some place isolated... in space, of course. You will only be around one other person. You can take an allotment if 1GB of personal media with you (text, video, music, games, pics, etc.) that you will be able to access in your free time indefinitely at will.

    The other person will also take 1GB with them, but you won't be able to talk to them until you're on the journey.

    You will have access to any knowledge resources to perform your function and keep you alive. You will never return to a point where you can get new external media. Any additional media you ever access would have to be created by you and or your travel partner with what you have access to.

    You will also not know the sex of your partner, but they have willingly taken the same risks to embark on the journey as yourself, and will have a similar mission.

    Do deaf people play media with sound on?

    I was wondering if deaf people commonly watch movies or TV with the sound on to feel the sound/music? Or is there not a sense of enjoyment if it can't be heard?

    How is it possible that praline pecans have less calories than regular pecans?

    Google and various websites says 28g of pecans is between 185 and 195 calories, how in the world are praline pecans much less calories?

    What happens if I never activate Windows?

    I am going to eventually use Linux (although need help with a good option for gaming and video library use), but I was curious how long I could use Windows unregistered for? What are the limitations of it not registered?

    What do I need to trouble shoot second hand desktop computer? And how?

    [Resolved!]

    I traded my cousin some really expensive RAM that I happened accross for his old desktop, that he put his graphics card into that he swapped from his newer computer. If I plug the desktop into the wall and try to turn it on nothing happens. If I open it up I can see that the where the wire from the power supply plugs into the graphics card there Is a little light on. So clearly some power is getting somewhere...

    How do I go about trouble shooting this, and what tools do I need? I assume at minimum a multi meter? Not really sure what to do, it's been decades the last time I built a computer.

    Board says "Asrock H110M-HDS"

    Edit: Attached a Pic and noticed the light is actually on the graphics card, not motherboard. Added addtl info.

    Update: So now all of the sudden the fan spins. I am at a loss as to why it spins now, as I haven't actually really done anything. I ordered a speaker for the mobo, so waiting for that.

    Final update: It works! I apparently had either a bad monitor or bad display port cable. But using another monitor with DVI I was able to finally get it to fully boot!

    I am not sure what got the fans to eventually work, maybe just a cable was jostled.

    I really appreciate all the advice! I definitely know a lot more and feel better equipped to do things with it now.

    Looking for friends to play with

    Looking for friends to add who use a mic. Sick of playing solo or getting teamed up with people who can't or won't talk.

    If this belongs elsewhere, let me know where to post.

    Who decides when the US goes to "war"

    I know Congress needs to be involved to actually declare war, but there have been a number of times where something was kicked off by presidential authority alone.

    If Biden wanted to, could he start a conflict against Russia without congressional approval. If not, what approval would he need? If so, what would be the theoretical limitations to his power and military authority?

    I am already assuming people would want some definition of what "conflict" would mean in this hypothetical scenario. So let's say it means Biden authorized US troops at the Ukrainian border and had them launching shells into Russia.

    What's the vaporization temperature of mouse urine?

    Let's say I hypothetically had some mice pee in some plastic components that cannot be properly cleaned in any realistic way. Is it possible to heat it up to "cook off" the mouse pee nastiness without actually melting the plastic?
