I hope the door dash dealer sues and gets a massive settlement. That arms dealer should be in prison for a long time. Or tons of community service.

I like Leaf razors. Less expensive than Harry's after you buy the handles, and there's no plastic packaging anywhere. And the refills are cheap (and were even cheaper) until Trump screwed up the economy. It can take any single edge razors, it's not proprietary.

There's three blade and single blade variants for your face or body. Both work great. (Just a heads up, you don't have to tighten the shit out of the screw on the back of the razor)

It affects everyone. Everyone is just one accident away from needing an air ambulance for an extraction, or an airlift to another region for specialized treatment (burns, cancer, etc). No good will come of this.

Fucking idiot Russians. Incredible lack of military discipline, and sloppy leadership. I bet some idiot 22 year old who has never heard of the disaster flew it into the structure while the commander was fucking off somewhere else.

On the contrary, you just bought yourself seven months while the economy is deteriorating and job market is nosediving. Consider yourself lucky, and pray that the top brass can stop snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

It's a great time to do a masters and Ph.D if you are interested. This has echoes of '08 and 20 when it comes to uncertainty and potential layoffs.

I'm on a Motorola, I don't think it's flashable...

Honestly, I kinda like it. I don't think my phone will get 16, though. I'll probably get android 18 or whatever is out then.

I limit my driving, try to limit my plastic consumption, and try to push our household into energy-saving appliances. We plant native plants, and do a ton of research when voting, and encourage others to vote.

At the end of the day, most stuff is going to be best directed from the top-down, such as switching from methane "natural gas" to renewable baseload power, like advanced nuclear, geothermal, hydro, etc. or preserving democracy so we can make these decisions instead of the red menace currently in charge.

Getting people to vote for democracy and climate policy has an outsized impact over my personal choices and habits, regardless of how good or bad they are.

Our gas stove. Unreliable AF, and has a tendency to cook unevenly. The oven also fucking sucks. Multi-thousand dollar premium PoS. I miss my resistive electric stoves.

On the other hand, the air fryer never burns things and almost never has issues.

Both of you are right and wrong, it's not so black and white.

You absolutely can make friends, chat with people at the bus stop, strike up convos at bars, the local ski resort, bike park, etc. Friendships can naturally blossom into relationships (or remain friendships, which is healthy and natural too).

You can't approach people and immediately ask them out, it feels weird and unappreciated (and that goes both ways, I've had a complete 180° role reversal and it was still weird and gross).

You're young, you have plenty of time, and honestly the weirdest thing about all this is that your parents are worried you're gay, like there's something wrong with that. There's barely any differences between genders, people overhyped the shit out of it in church, tbh.

Anyways, any% dating really doesn't work, and I feel like your parents should know that. Don't even try for dating, everyone can sense desperation. Just dgaf and focus on having fun and making friends. Love will naturally evolve out of good friendships.

My thoughts exactly. You never want things to double down and become more toxic, even if it's smaller. You have to neutralize the toxin. The dose is what kills you.

 

I know the new admin isn't gonna do great things, but the money is already spent and a lot of people have already started (or in some cases, finished) these projects.

The work that has been done over the past four years has set into motion great changes for decades to come, and empowered local areas to now build on the vision and infrastructure set out by the outgoing administration. :)

 

RealPage, maker of YieldStar, is almost singlehandedly the ones causing rent to skyrocket across much of the United States.

One of the algorithm’s developers told ProPublica that leasing agents had “too much empathy” compared to computer generated pricing.

You can learn more about them here and why this antitrust case is so important:

Perhaps we shouldn't start deep sea mining yet.

 

There are geothermal solutions for geothermal features near the surface already. This article is about advances in deep geothermal solutions: 15,000+ feet of pipe, deep into the earth. Utilizing the falling cost of horizontal drilling equipment from the fracking industry, there are now solutions to drill 10,000 feet down, and 5,000 feet sideways to improve the likelihood of running into superheated rock. Currently, drilling will be limited to geothermally gifted areas of America, but may be able to expand to less fortunate areas as the technology improves and gets even less expensive.

 

Looks like critical thinking deteriorates above 72f/22c. Crime swings higher. Lowering your core temperature seems to help, even if you live in a climate with unavoidable heat.

 

For context, a water main blew, and the city of Calgary has been under strict water rationing for the past handful of days. The new pipe should arrive later this week from California :)

It's pretty cool that the government has a department that can delicately extract damaged money and return new bills to people. I wish this article went into the process of how they do it!

 

They found a plant thought to be exinct in the area, and got super excited when they found it. Seeds have been forwarded to a seed bank. The article is worth a read and is fairly short :)

 

It was a very unlikely win. Some, if not all players on this team have day jobs.

In effect, Mr. Trump’s candidacy is becoming a referendum on what kind of justice system the country believes it has now and wants to have in the future
