Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•An "airport neighbourhood" where people can store their planes in their yard and taxi directly to the runwayEnglish
8·2 years agoI lived adjacent to a neighborhood like this. It was much quieter than middle aged neighbors with Harley’s. Little Cessnas and Pipers are not that loud.
This was my mom. Lots of therapy and 20 years later I’m good now. One major thing I do differently as a parent is apologize to my kids when I screw up.
If you do something against the rules then you have an appropriate punishment. Yelling and berating is never an appropriate punishment. If yell at my kid because I’m mad I always apologize. Hopefully it will lessen their therapy bills.

General Discussion@lemmy.world•I am very mildly infuriated by the fact that thinking "I am not a fish" genuinely works to stop HiccupsEnglish
6·3 years agoHiccups are most likely a demonic possession. Try praying next time.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is the legal system so expensive?English
6·3 years agoThere are not a lot of incentives to make things easier/cheaper. Changing government processes is slow and hard. Take immigration. It is currently a long and hard process to legally immigrate to US unless you fall into certain categories. I’ve heard politicians on both sides say my entire life that we need to improve the process for legal immigration yet little has been done.
I think flexibility is key. There are days where I peak my productivity at 4 hours. There are days where I get in the flow and can be productive for 12.

Austin Texas Community@lemmy.world•Guy uses Village parking lot as his personal helipadEnglish
5·3 years agoOne time 20+ years ago I was at a Sonic and there was an empty lot next door. A helicopter landed and 2 kids ran out and went over to the sonic and ordered food. Became a core memory.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do dentists have such a bad reputation compared to other kinds of doctors?English
5·3 years agoYeah. It’s extremely common. Fluoride treatments, sealants, crown replacements aren’t necessary. And things like veneers, and whiting are pushed pretty hard.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it possible for someone to "become gay" or were they always predisposed to it?English
8·3 years agoI was talking to a gay family married who was married to opposite gender for 20 years and had a family before coming out. We both grew up in a world that said homosexuality was a choice.
He said he “chose to be straight” for 20+ years and it almost killed him and ruined the lives of others.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do dentists have such a bad reputation compared to other kinds of doctors?English
241·3 years agoMy mother in law was an office manager at a dentist. Dentists have sales quotas and have bonuses to everyone in the office for upselling.
You go in to a medical professional for health care and advice and they try and sell to you.

Austin Texas Community@lemmy.world•Weekly Ask Austin ThreadEnglish
3·3 years agoRight. And I think a mix of labor and supply chain issues were impacting it on the other side.

4·3 years agoAre pool prices coming down? I heard during Covid and in ground pool could run you $100k+ with long waits. Has that price come down any?

71·3 years agoI think that’s it. His vision is to try and make a WeChat competitor. As much as I hate it, I fear that if he can string along the investors for long enough he could actually maybe make it successful if he adds everything else to it.
But the Fediverse is growing too which is better. Let Musk and Zuck have their dick measuring competition and let’s build something better over here!

Cars - For Car Enthusiasts@lemmy.world•Fisker Targeting $45,000 Price, 340-Mile Range for Alaska PickupEnglish
1·3 years agoThat might be based on where you live. Im in Austin TX and I see several mavericks every day but I think I’ve only seen 1 Hummer EV in the wild.
I also see a Rivian every day. But then I had a 8 hour road trip and I never saw once I got out of Austin.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If the body's natural temperature is about 98 degrees (F), why does it still feel really hot when the ambient temperature is 98F?English
62·3 years agoUh… I never wondered that till now.
Automatic doors.
It’s actually flashing the screen to a photo sensor
light sensor is a lot cheaper than a BT would be my guess.





How much of a delay on the light sensor for the automatic door.
