Ngl, your title had me hyped for a minute there.

It USED to be a decent source for news and updates on stuff but that’s long gone. I deleted my account just before that weird billionaire guy bought it and don’t regret it one bit.

Yup pretty much. When I’m working and doing a lot I eat like a horse, but days I don’t do much I don’t eat much either. And I haven’t gained weight in over 30 years despite people predicting otherwise. (Well, a little but mostly muscle mass… I was 165 at 16 and in my 50’s I’m 180 now with the same 31" waist.)

As one of those that easily destroy an XL pizza in one go… why is that terrifying?

I Mean, overall I don’t eat all that much… I never eat breakfast and very rarely eat lunch, so one or two meals a day for me (historically a very active person) has to be large to make up for the times I don’t have time (or want) to stop and eat. So it takes at least a large pizza or like two boxes of Mac & cheese to even come close to refilling my fuel tank.

They probably won’t get rid of elections… they’ll just have sham elections like Russia has to give the impression of “legitimacy” but I guarantee they’ll be heavily rigged in their favor.

only $70 billion showing on the books so far

Are they not finished banning books yet? I’m sure that one’s on the list as well.

When I first heard it my brain convinced me that the lyrics were “Snap my Picture” for some reason.

Then I saw the video.

… And it literally actually says it’s not a concern.

I’d love to see something similar to reddit enhancement suite.

I agree… I have an unopened bottle of beer from 1975, just by looking at it I can tell that its “better with age” window is long gone. (Note the sediment buildup at the bottom)

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

Pouring gas over everything and lighting it by tossing a lit cigarette into the puddle. It does not work that way.

To sow doubt to fit their narrative that when they lose the election it was rigged against them.

The right is literally at war with democracy, except instead of guns they’re flinging bullshit.

To be fair a lot of wells didn’t/don’t have good water either but we were not very good at testing or noticing that kind of thing until people started dropping.

You’re correct, but I just want to point out that it isn’t advisable to drink or cook with water that comes from your hot water tank. Hot water can (and usually will) corrode metal parts from your tank and plumbing and can be contaminated by all sorts of nasty stuff that won’t go away even if you boil the water first.

If you look it up on youtube, you can see for yourself the insane amount of crap that builds up inside a hot water tank over time. https://youtu.be/kAzKts6Wp1Q?si=UMPzHcIoSRdSgJ4g&t=88

In my case it’s because the last several owners of this house were idiots that cheaped out on everything and thought they knew better than the professionals do… my plumbing is a wonderful variety of crap soldered to different crap that I think was partially salvaged from the Titanic or something.

And since I’m renting, I have no ambition to rip anything out and fix it properly unless it breaks.

That’s my kitchen sink. Takes forever to get hot water but the bathroom (Which is further from the tank) takes half the time.

The joys of an old house.

My guess is it’s similar to the electric motors they put in cars vs industrial motors… they can both put out X amount of power but the industrial ones (or in this case the laptop power) can do it continuously without overheating while the other can only output “up to” that power rating for a short time without burning up.

In this case though, the laptop power probably also outputs a higher voltage as well.

Rats leaving a sinking ship.

Is that the legendary pee tape?
