someguy3,

Well you use 50 mm (in the old system) because that was considered the “correct” perspective. Less would give you the fisheye lense distortion.

someguy3,

The runways are probably 300 m apart.

someguy3,

I believe these are known as demotivational posters.

Alright, I'm gonna "take one for the team" -- what is with the "downvote-happy" users lately?

Title. “lmao internet points” and all, but what is the point of participating in a community that sees assumptions and other commonly non-harmful commentaries/posts as “bad” this easily? Do folks in here are really that needy of self-validation, even if it means seeking such from something completely insignificant like...

how similar are other North American countries to USA??

I mean the other 2 countries, Canada and Mexico, how similar are both of them to United States?? Both countries have a similar economy and democracy etc, and I think those two countries share things like supermarkets, stores, etc. I suppose the cultural differences are not a lot, that is very nice.

Am Canadian. From what I gather they’re pretty similar. We have the same scenario of lots of land, cheap energy, (relatively) young cities that could change to be car dependant as they grew. So lots of big houses, big stores, etc.

The differences: I don’t think our inner cities hollowed out with white flight, don’t have as much segregation (it’s actually quite the melting pot), while we have plenty of car dependency I don’t think it’s quite as bad as the US.

We have more progressive things like universal healthcare, decent public education. The US really seems intent on not having those because, as I see it, they don’t want black people to have it.

Feel free to ask anything.

Look at pictures of the freeways of most US cities, it’s far, far beyond what we have.

With the exception of certain cities like NYC, from what I hear US transit barely exists or exists in a token form that’s not really usable. We can complain ours isn’t good enough but it’s certainly there. It’s hard to tell because the complaining sounds the same, but I’ve come to conclude the US transit is far worse.

someguy3,

Which is ironically part of the problem. Rich parts want to keep their tax money for their education. Poor parts get nothing.

Where I am all the schools are funded by the province and funded the same.

You compare cities of the same size. You don’t compare Toronto to NYC.

Shall I flog them as well?

someguy3,

LPT: Don’t buy anything chasing after happiness.

someguy3,

Just think how much more expensive it would be.

someguy3,

Really not what I meant. I mean you don’t chase after happiness with purchases. You know how like people chase after happiness with alcohol, drugs, etc. These things won’t make you happy, you have to find happiness in life at a more fundamental level.

Such as easy thing to do when you have God on your side huh.

someguy3,

I didn’t know until this post. Interesting.

My favorite knockoff was one called “Spritz Up”

someguy3, (edited )

I recently saw some videos about people freeze drying orange juice. Could be an option here.

someguy3,

Frozen concentrate is still common.

someguy3,

I heard the review “better Trek than Trek”.

someguy3, (edited )

I think he aimed that comment at Discovery.

Um no, because teens are naturally on a later schedule with their circadian rhythm. They are natural night owls. Their circadian rhythm signals their body to go to sleep later than children or adults. Read into it, this is well researched.
