I'm confused by your definition of fossil fuels.

I've been keeping my eye out for anime I can watch with my early teen daughter, and the intersection between good anime and anime that doesn't require ample amounts of jiggle physics is fairly small.

The list is pretty much:

  • Mashle
  • Dragon Goes House Hunting
  • Cells at Work

Even better, being a delivery driver trying to find McRando's house without GPS, map quest, etc. Just a street address and a city street map from the municipal Chamber of Commerce.

Especially fun when half of your deliveries were out of the city limits and you had to ask for/write down directions, and no cell phone to call if you took a wrong turn or they gave you bad directions.

I don't miss those days.

The fae operate on a different set of rules. The Tooth Fairy can only take teeth that are freely offered. The dead cannot consent.

Not quite strong enough to be Everclear. 95% packs a helluva punch.

I would actually argue that Google Play Music was the best music streaming app that I've used. It was great being able to upload music from CDs of small local bands and have it right in there with the other streaming music.

Just today I had a hankering to listen to a specific song through my android auto, and instead of just being able to verbally ask the unit for that song, or even being able to search through the atrocity that is the YouTube Music interface on my head unit, I had to pull over, pull out my phone, search for the band, then click the uploads tab (because uploaded music does not show with the regular search results) and then click the song to get it to play.

But severance pay is almost always part of consideration in a "you can't sue us" contract. So the company is not just giving you pay in lieu of notice, they're buying your rights away.

I've also seen plenty of corporations that punish you when you give two weeks notice by immediately barring you from working and you end up losing two weeks pay by planning on being considerate.

That's an interesting opinion. Unfortunately, the facts don't quite align with your feelings.

it's imperative that we have strong police forces throughout the country to minimize crime

Why do you believe this? Police forces as they exist today aren't even as old as the US. Sure, the US wasn't a bastion of freedom upon its founding but that wasn't due to a lack of police. The absolute biggest factors for controlling neighborhood level crime are increasing public education and reducing the effects of poverty.

I don't think people understand how big, and free the US is. Whenever you get something like this, strict law enforcement is not only needed, it's required.

And this is the weirdest take right here. Freedom and strong, strict police forces are inversely related by definition. One could even point to the origin of many police departments as opposition to freedom.

Except, a pressure gage reads the number it's pointing at. Not 1 hand means the number it's pointing at and the other means 5 times the most recent digit passed plus 1 for each tick mark.

I'd wager that most people would never even see a pressure gage with two hands. Dual-indicating double-bourdon tube differential pressure gages are quite rare in the real world. Usually for that kind of application you'd go digital.

Not going to be great for Samsung either. They already invested a bunch of money to bring more industry to the states on the back of $45 billion in CHIPS act subsidies.

I've always heard this in relation to the dress uniform (cracker jacks uniform) pants which have 13 buttons for the crotch flap.

I think a skills-based aptitude test that is honed towards specific occupations and a vague intelligence test that the creators even believe barely gives a tenuous grasp on mental ability is not a good comparison.

It's not a 100% solution, but many head units will have hdmi input, but you might have to accidentally install the head unit in a way that bypasses the parking brake interlock for it to work while driving. Most phones can utilize a USB-C to hdmi adapter for screen mirroring, although touch data won't be sent to the phone.

If you like the punchlines from the comics, but are disappointed in the show, remember that the movie Coneheads exists.

I've had good luck by viewing the page in desktop mode if I need to see something on reddit and tries to force me to use the app.
