It’s $5 for a dozen cubes to put into a glass that cost $20 full of booze that cost $200.

In America, it is illegal to leave the car.

You travel in the car. You sleep in the car. You shit in the car. You are born in the car. You die in the car. If you leave the car, they run you over

Filtered, whatever.

Hard water isn’t great for fancy ice cubes

The real question is why does anyone think this is what they need in life.

Sometimes you want to entertain and square ice cubes are a nice touch

Square ice cubes made with clarified water are a real pain to make at home unless you have all the tools

If you like to entertain, it’s much easier to just buy the cubes and store them in the fridge.

the US has a miniscule amount of green energy, and its not increasing in proportion to fossil fuels

In 2023, petroleum remained the most-consumed fuel in the United States, as it has been for the past 73 years, and renewables exceeded coal for the first time in about 140 years.

…

Electricity generation from zero-carbon sources such as wind and solar has increased rapidly in recent years. In 2022, U.S. energy consumption from renewable sources surpassed that from nuclear for the first time since 1984. U.S. nuclear energy consumption began in the late 1950s and has remained fairly constant since the early 2000s.

I wouldn’t write off all of public education based on one Reddit post

Has anyone been really thirsty while you’re wandering through the desert and your HeadBot tells you that there’s water on the horizon but it’s just more sand?

Really need someone to patch this issue.

The US is going all in on the doomed oil and coal economy

It’s not. The U.S. adds approximately 40 GW of new renewable energy capacity per year, with 27 GW of that in solar and 6 GW in Wind. Over 90% of newly added grid capacity is green, largely thanks to the speed and scale of clean energy expansion relative to alternatives.

Where the US sucks is in retiring older facilities in order to cut emissions over time. We’re just producing an enormous energy glut. The carbon we emit is plateauing, but it’s never going to decline on these terms.

Imagine if america built solar panels instead of bomb negotiation.

You’ll notice one of these countries still has enough money to bribe a FIFA official.

Bum, Aktuly.

It wasn’t Edgar. It was wearing Edgar. Like an Edgar suit.

I believe they’re talking about the FPS games invasive anticheat, not windows itself.

I’m sure the Blizzard/Activision game portal is also trying to suck out all my client data like a depressurizing spaceship.

(Though technically there are ones from China, but those are made for games with a Chinese audience)

That’s even worse! Stop stealing our games, China!

Also bugs

Very tiny lobsters

Red Lobster had you one step closer to living in the pod. We needed to kill it.
