Fuel tanks? I thought most of them were rotomolded or galvanized steel. Aluminum is a terrible material for automobile fuel tanks. In thin sections it fatigues so easily and forms thin cracks that would be a nightmare. Maybe they are referring to racing tanks or the very simplified and low-formed versions on diesel…

Um … not to be pedantic, but my #1 use is making tea. Green tea – specifically, genmaicha. Definitely not coffee.

So, rural and/or poor folks who have none to rationed internet will be screwed some more.  Cool,  cool. 

Space doesn’t take resources away from Earth. All the engineers and technicians designing and building the hardware are paid on Earth, feed families here, etc. The technological developments spread to other industries, bringing new materials, better solar energy, better batteries, better medical technology.…

Could be a double entendre as the wood in Morgans is ash.

I have a little spatula just for condiments and it’s a lot better than a knife!

You can put the mustard on the same side as the mayo (either one). You still taste it just fine!

They are going to go with secret option #4:

Okay, so the Cheela aren’t as tall as we thought.

I can’t be annoyed when people spread bullshit about a medical condition they clearly know fuck-all about? The ignorant piece-of-shit comment that I reacted to had 38 upvotes. That’s nearly forty more people with more ignorance about schizophrenia than started the day. Maybe you find that funny, and maybe me pointing…

Slipped on medication -> lost their job -> lost their insurance -> lost their doctor :: a very common pattern. And, this person seems to have paranoid tendencies (which is common but not universal in schizophrenia) and so distrusted their doctor.

Those jerks tried to circle him looking all hard, but his vigorous pumping and spraying all over the place got them off as fast as possible.

“How tough are you? Do you do a hard day’s work and still make the time and effort for those you love and care about? Do you build that swing set in the backyard for your children? Do you pick up the plants from the nursery for that new landscaping project? Do you haul that lumber to build that deck for your family…

Have you guys honestly never seen a meat slicer?
I agree that having it manual is pretty impractical, but I don’t really see how it’s less safe?

Well I had been going to this mechanic for years and thought he was pretty solid. A lot of other people went there too, but after awhile his work went downhill. It was gradual so it took awhile to realize the reason I was going was to talk to the other customers in the waiting room. In the end we realized he was just…

While pipeline owners tend to undershoot their initial estimates of spills, this level of screwup is “somewhat astronomical and not normal,” said Jared Margolis, a senior attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity. Margolis said that gasoline’s physical composition—it sinks to the bottom of bodies of water,…

Pan fried mashed potatoes for breakfast are a treat.

I bet they gave him a stern torquing to.

Yeah, you may want to preemptively remove holiday-required tools for this method :)

This doesn't take into account the things that you may use only once a year but absolutely require then (specifically, a turkey baster! I hardly ever need a baster except at Thanksgiving/Christmas).
