Let people have fun however they want to?

A bidet. You can install it yourself in 20 minutes and enjoy a lifetime of cleaner buttholes and save on tp.

Thank you for sharing the link. Here's the relevant bit from the article:

Most gas stations don’t want to install new tanks just for E15. Instead, they’re installing blender pumps, which mix the ethanol and gasoline together in the right proportion depending on which one you want. But there’s a problem: if you pump E15 into your car, about a third of a gallon remains in the fueling hose when you’re done. If someone comes along, switches to E10, and buys a single gallon for their lawnmower, they’ll get a third of a gallon of E15 and two-thirds of a gallon of E10. That comes to about 11.7% ethanol, and that might be enough to set your lawnmower on fire.

So the EPA produced a new rule: if you sell E15, you have to require your customers to buy at least four gallons of gas regardless of what blend they’re buying. That’s a big enough purchase that the residual fuel in the hose is too small to matter

Really exciting development for the climate change mitigation toolkit. Let's hope it's not too challenging or costly to scale up and deploy.

Raw oysters. They have the texture and salinity of snot

They literally need to meet airtightness requirements to meet the Passive House standard. It's tested with a blower door test to check the air exchange rate at a prescribed negative pressure. You may be referring to a loose definition of passive house, instead of the standard, though. Airtightness is not "awful" as you suggested - mechanical ventilation provides fresh air

I find this visualization to be quite poor at conveying information. Why does it need so much animation??

I don't like him either but it was fact-checked on the show in this case

Yes, and:

“Bottled water alone can expose people to nearly as many microplastic particles annually as all ingested and inhaled sources combined,” said Brandon Luu, an Internal Medicine Resident at the University of Toronto. “Switching to tap water could reduce this exposure by almost 90%, making it one of the simplest ways to cut down on microplastic intake.”

I have my microwave on silent so I actually prefer to let it finish so I don't need to press a button to clear those few seconds to have a useful clock back

Insurance and property taxes are factored into the monthly payment, though it's not obvious from the meme

The panels and cells are rated in terms of power. Maybe you were thinking they were exporting energy? It's solar panels

How is it punishing customers? The rest of the article suggests it may improve things

“It speeds up the process at entry and speeds up the process at the checkout,” he said. “That’s what we believe and we’re going to pilot it.”

Equally foul as it is interesting. Thanks for sharing

Spacial awareness in public, especially in grocery stores. People often stop with a cart right in the entrance and seem oblivious they are blocking the way for others while they dig in their bag for the shopping list.

Seriously. If you're going to go with that palette you have to at least label the lines directly on the graph. Abysmal design

I would love to vote third party if we had ranked choice voting. Without it, voting third party may just make it easier for Trump to win.

Some are parasitic, most are saprophytic (decomposers/recyclers), others are symbiotic and exchange nutrients with trees

Yeah, this is a pretty appalling graphic that maybe seemed good in theory but is hostile to the reader in practice.

I don't think that's how radiant heat transfer works. Should generally heat anything colder than the heat source
