Problem is, the US only really works when every state is in sync. Economies of scale and all that. Stuff will be a lot more expensive if you are just buying for the west coast and Colorado. and you’ll have people from fucked up states trying to move to good states, bringing their terrible ideas.

They don’t make this exact model anymore, but this one is what I’ve been using since 2023. And whoa, Nelly, this thing is bright. Way too powerful for most plants. You can have multiple layers of plants in an ikea glass cabinet and they will all be happy…at 50% power. Maybe even 25%.

I also got four of these bad boys and some mini ones (don’t bother with the latter) and some thermal epoxy to adhere it down. By default, it is dangerously hot. Glued them on each side of the controller. The heatsinks get extremely hot, but the controller gets down to a reasonable temperature compared to what it was before.

It makes all of my cactuses, chiles, orchids, and other assorted tropicals flower throughout the year. (I run it at 50% with a Phillips Hue automatic plug timer)

I commit all kinds of cast iron crimes, but honestly, just re-seasoning pans is fine. Oil and wipe with a paper towel. Cast iron can absolutely take a cleaning.

I fully clean mine with soap because I make spicy tacos at night in it, then flapjacks the next day. Nobody wants spicy flapjacks.

The real key is unscented/unflavored soap. then, reseason with just enough oil to keep it shiny. If you make it your main pan, it will get nice and seasoned from years of use. :)

You will never clog a toilet if you get a bidet. Putting tons of TP in is how you get clogs.

McCarthy really fucked it all up for us in 1954 with the lavender and red scares. That helped set the stage for those later cunts.

I want the next one to be rotated, but still in portrait. Giant black bars on the sides, and the print is tiny. Like full screening a badly edited video.

Oh God, that sounds awful. The worst we’ve ever had was ants, which are gross but manageable with some bait traps.

I don’t trust Trump to execute it properly, tbh.

Honestly though, anti-missile shields are something we (humanity) needs. Any moron these days can throw it all away in a suicidal instant, now that Putin started a new war and now we have a bunch of smaller wars all over.

But DART showed the promise of orbital defenses, and I’d rather we have some semblance of countermeasures against large meteors, which this is a step towards doing. (Still, climate change is the existential threat that the entire world should be focusing on)

Okay, that is pretty cool.

Hmm, might wanna switch to semi-metallic or metallic pads if you’re getting bad brake fade. They’ll be louder and won’t have as much bite as organic, but they work well in the wet, and they won’t fade as much as organics.

This is really painful to read. One would think they’d be swapping them to wood, metal, or concrete…

We’d take it! God, what I wouldn’t give for some of our roads to be slower. Our neighbors and my family lobbied the city to install traffic calming measures on our road, but they declined, unfortunately. We even offered to give them the money to install even just a set of speed humps. Our road has lots of bicycles, children, and buses. People in private vehicles shouldn’t be doing 60+ on a 40 kmh road.

30 is hot, 20 is nice, 10 is cool, 0 is ice.

Honestly, with metric, 24 hour time and celcius, the easiest way to learn is just to switch to it completely.

I’m in an imperial country and still switched over to metric/24h/c just because it makes a lot more sense for most personal stuff. It’s been enough years that I know much of it just ambiently. I prefer it, tbh.

This probably won’t eliminate it, the efficacy is below 80%, but this will knock it down a peg or two, and it uses an existing vaccine, which saves money :)

Can we freeze someone else? I think we could fix things tbh.

Probably mechanical abrasion too. Like car tires. Or your carpets/rug. Or your toothbrush. Or your nylon/sport/athlesure wear. Or soft, non-natural blankets, haha. I bet your furniture, too…

And people are grossed out when they learn that people can have enough micro/nanoplastic in their brain to make a disposable plastic spoon (2g). :)

Low key the cornerstone of modern civilization. Imagine a city where the streets are awash in millions of people’s shit/piss, the water is heavily contaminated, and everyone is constantly getting fecal-oral diseases and cannot work or be healthy much of the time. Even when they are healthy, they might have to stay home and take care of sick family members.

What happened to him in the end? I remember her sacrificing herself to the winter, but all I remember is Geralt living and then the post game DLC. Maybe I got the really weird ending, haha
