15 f is pretty chilly. 35 f is cold if it was warm yesterday, but warm if it was cold yesterday, 45 is the same. 5 f is really cold if it’s humid or windy, but tolerable otherwise.

-15f is where your teeth start to hurt if you open your mouth outside.

“as accurate as adult eyewitness testimony”

“As small as a planet”

“As fast as a snail.”

“As curious as a corpse.”

the secret service wants to know your location.

He’s in one of two cars, they’re easily identifiable. The rest are various security assets. Armed dudes, jamming suites, surveillance, etc.

They fly them in a few days in advance.

Spicy ok?

Fun fact, while the earth will almost certainly be engulfed by the red giant phase of our sun, it will not be immediately consumed. A floating lump of rock will exist and continue to orbit the center of mass for millions of years inside the sun.

My man has never tried Gagh and it shows

No no no, they only care about the best interests of their employees! That’s why they spend so much fighting unions. It has no profit motive whatsoever. Because, obviously, the union won’t be able to secure any better wages or benefits anyway! So there’s really no reason to unionize. Ever. Don’t even talk about it. Definitely don’t talk about it with your co-workers. Definitely don’t leave union literature on the break room table. Certainly don’t bring up unionizing to a few people you trust.

I… Do you often find yourself needing to schedule video uploads at 12:07?

Name one person uplifted by Oprah that’s not a fucking ghoul.

Dr Oz, “Dr” Phil, John of God, each more evil than the last.

At least Dr Oz is legitimately a good heart surgeon. If that’s all he ever did he’d have been a net positive on the world. As it is, he’s caused far more harm to more people than he ever helped.

To be fair to the meme, Han Solo was a terrible smuggler

“one cock sausage coming right up”

We both grow more than we need, and throw more than we should away.

Some of that is a result of picky shoppers wanting unblemished produce. Some of that is a result of not having an easy profit motivated way of getting produce from where it’s grown to where it’s most desperately needed.

We have tropical fruit available all year, but when impoverished peoples experience a crop failure, best we can do is send powdered milk.

Which incidentally may have cured them of lactose intolerance.

Oh yeah, it’s inefficient as hell. But energy from the sun is coming to us whether we harvest it or not. It’s unlimited. The limitation is solar cells.

We’re at the point where we’ve basically run out of easy oil to access, and we’re coming up with bigger and deeper drilling methods. We spend billions on a single offshore rig that will function for 10-20 years at most.

The issue isn’t efficiency, it’s profit motive.

“very long time” here is like, 6 months to a year. Fuel does break down, a sad reality that anyone who has tried to start a lawn mower in the spring after letting it sit full of fuel all winter can tell you.

But! That is quite a bit longer than electricity, which needs to be used pretty much immediately or it’ll start blowing up transformers.

Logistics is the primary issue. We can’t generate power anywhere it needs to be pretty close to where it’s being used. Unless we want to ship giant fucking batteries all over the place which in some circumstances might not be a bad idea. Not ideal though. Still, if we’re putting biofuel on a truck, it’s worth considering. I’m not sure the energy to weight ratio of 80,000 pounds of batteries to 80,000 pounds of fuel is.

That said, we can build these things to make energy transmission possible over long distances. Shit if we’re making enough excess energy from solar alone we could beam it across the sky with microwaves if we really wanted to. The barrier here is not that it is hard. The barrier here is that liquid fuel is still so goddamn profitable there’s no incentive to switch.

They’re almost certainly one of the more profitable Google services or they’d have been cut loose by now.

Google serves ads, YouTube is a great platform for them to serve ads, and they don’t even have to pay content creators that much, because they serve their own ads. The biggest expense is probably bandwidth and memory, which Google owns enough of to sell off bits they aren’t using.
