Reality has become indistinguishable from satire.

Having worked for UPS in the past, these guys definitely earn it. Long days, boiling hot or freezing cold, and wrecking their bodies the entire time.

Bullshit. Why try to cover for their inability to govern? It's gonna suck, but if these people keep getting elected it will continue to suck for a long time. I'm all for a schism splitting off the radical right.

It's their house, and it's going to be a shitshow, but people voted for this. Maybe it'll make the party implode, or at least a few reconsider it next time out of embarrassment.

I'm sorry you haven't experienced good Thanksgiving food.

This would be terribly abused. Imagine who Republicans would shoehorn in there based off their Supreme Court picks...

I lusted after these when I was a kid, and eventually blew all my saved up Christmas/Birthday money on one.

The battery thing really sucked, but still had a lot of fun with it. Must of played that first level of Sonic 2 a thousand times.

My white whale was the TV tuner, I thought the idea was so cool as a kid.

This seems more in the grocers favor, but anything to discourage it is good. I wish they had a big ugly government mandated label they had to keep for 6 months after a shrink. Probably the only thing that would ever stop this.

For real. Cemeteries are such a waste of resources.

Synthetic fuels would be great for all the existing stuff, but not sure where you're getting EV sales are down in Europe.

New plug-in car registrations:

BEVs: *212,000 (up 57% year-over-year) and 17% share
PHEVs: *100,000 (up 17% year-over-year) and 8% share
Total: 311,897 (up 42% year-over-year) and 25% share

Best of luck! Don't get discouraged if things backslide a bit, happens all the time, but they'll get it eventually.

I'm with you, I find artificial sweeteners to have a "chemical" taste. Just generally unpleasant.

It seems to vary from person to person, some don't seem to notice much, seems there might be a genetic component: https://www.phillymag.com/...

Similarly, a nice fog free shower mirror for me. My wife would get so mad about stray hairs (it's easy to miss some when it goes everywhere) Got a waterproof trimmer and started doing it in the shower - cleanup is super easy now!

It's top down for same reason things are generally left to righ. In the days of ink and paper, you'd end up with a smeared mess - ask a lefty what a pain in the ass that is.

Less of an issue nowadays of course. Still the very idea is a bit nails on a chalkboard to me, but I'm old and wondering if it's a generational thing. Maybe you feel like this since many interfaces push text entry to the bottom?

Seriously, I worked on a construction project in Charleston close to the Boeing plant that used some of the same contractors. More than one told me they won't fly after what they saw (and this was pre-scandal).

Yeah, but where is that hydrogen coming from? Most is produced from natural gas, and even if electrolysis is used ("green hydrogen") it's vastly less efficient than just directly using the electricity - more than 2 to 1! (Overall system efficiency is 77% for EV vs 33% for H2)

They still need batteries (albeit smaller), and system weight is comparable to an EV.

H2 is also a complete pain to store and handle.

Except for things like trucks, I just don't see the use case.

I work in automation. We had one site in Florida that despite AC pumping all the time, had humidity issues. Electonics seemed to handle it ok, but paper was another story. This site would have to print information packs to get packaged up with the product, and it was a nightmare with the collating and folding automation, it just never wanted to work properly. The printers themselves would jam and have more issues than they should as well.
