States clearly on packaging, as well as in marketing materials, that it is an energy drink and is not made for anyone under the age of 18.

Don’t confuse bioplastics with compostable plastics. Just because a plastic is made mostly or even entirely from plant-based materials doesn’t mean that the final polymer is compostable. Also, if they are “compostable” that means they need to go to an industrial operation that will compost them at very high heat. The…

See, I was just reading how Fuentes claims that men having sex with women is “gay.” He doesn’t mention it there, but maybe the real alpha male move is teenagers, not women?

They do have entrance exams, and they're specifically designed to prevent smart people from becoming cops. https://abcnews.go.com/US/court-oks-barring-high-iqs-cops/story?id=95836

It happened to my dad in a beetle decades ago while driving with passengers in the rear.

Vaping ground flowers has some other advantages over burning it in a pipe, too. First, the odor is much, much less. It depends on the device and the strain, but you might even be able to use the vape indoors and not have people notice. Second, it's a lot easier to start and stop. You can take one or two hits, the…

I just hope putting out a production electric 7-seater is part of VW’s plan to work out the last kinks for the Buzz.

Good on Beto, I guess. I always thought he was a pretty good guy. Not presidential material, but I’d be happy to see him doing well in other political arenas.

My 18 month-old daughter saw a commercial for this the other day, pointed at the TV, and said, “Monkey!” We all agreed with her that it looks like an assemblage of monkeys rather than cats. Maybe they should just retitle the thing and lean into it?

Googling “how to do X in excel” is usually pretty eye-opening. The issue I’ve got right now is how to copy hidden columns as a template. I’ve got one document with columns B, C, F, H, J, K, etc hidden. Is there an easy way I can apply that pattern to a second document? Haven’t been able to figure that out yet.

I already do a lot of random woodworking. I’m not amazing or anything, but I’ve made myself a desk, some outdoor furniture, and I built our chicken coop among other things. I like to let myself buy one new tool per project (sometimes it ends up being two). I still don’t have a table saw (partly because of space…

One of the long-standing train makers is German, so I can stick to buying lots of stuff from people with socialized medicine. That’s definitely a more satisfying option.

I had the sudden urge this morning to put a model railroad in my garden. I went down a sudden and deep rabbit hole learning about gauges and scales and DC vs batteries and I learned they can actually be ridiculously expensive. But I still want to do it.

If I’ve been sitting on my ass for six hours you’re damn right I’m going to stand up the first chance I get. I need to know that my legs still work. Plus, if I don’t stand up, some other asshole will put their backpack on and shove it right in my face.

I spent the morning sitting in an ER waiting room (fortunately everything’s fine now), and there was a TV playing CNBC right above me. Everybody kept going back to Warren and (to a lesser extent) Sanders and the “War on Wealth.”

Counterpoint: America is the worst. 

Ugh, these kids. I haven’t read the book, and maybe there is some objectionable stuff in there, but do they understand that talking about white privilege is talking about society and not about white people (although, as a white dude, I can categorically say that white people in general suck)?

My wife and I used to go to a guy over in Brookland who had a full professional salon station in his house, but he got tired of working alone and moved to a regular salon in Shaw. He raised his rates to match the shop and it between that and the little extra distance we stopped going.

I mean, I’m not surprised or anything.

The laws are basically identical  If the Supreme Court wanted to follow precedent, they could have overturned the 5th Circuit with a summary ruling, even if it was just 5-4. By actually taking the case Roberts is all but admitting he's ready to overturn three year-old precedent
