And there will probably be some loon trying to blame it on our anthropogenic CO2 emissions...

Although I bet that one ongoing annoyance won’t be fixed by Google that doesn’t even need a patch to Android — you can turn off notifications, but every time you go to the Play Store, you’ll get a notification to “turn on important notifications” to let Google Play spam you with anything it decides you should be told…

It's not just the legroom; my shoulders are wider than the space between the outsides of the armrests. Unless I'm sitting on the aisle, my shoulders are going to be in the adjacent seats, and if I'm on aisle, I'd have to lean into the aisle, which partially blocks the aisle.

“The Rhine’s lowest level ever measured in Cologne was 69 centimeters, or 27.2 inches back in October of 2018.”

Or, starting from a more innocuous-sounding name, “Scientists have announced the discovery of a massive gas giant orbiting Your Mother.”

“You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.”

That I’ll agree with; the cinnamon layer is, overall, a disappointment. If I had to guess at the manufacturing, there’s a two-layer extruder that rolls out a big sheet of dough, and a cinnamon-flavored paste is extruded to cover that, and then the dough sheet is rolled up, cut when it reaches the intended diameter,…

I’m not sure where the Pillsbury cinnamon rolls you’re buying are being made, but all the ones I’ve had have always been clearly and identifiably rolled from a flat sheet of dough — in fact, one of the problems I have is having them unroll when I try to pull them apart after I get the dough out of the tube, along with…

There is a recipe for a yeasted cranberry-orange bread in Bernard Clayton’s New Complete Book of Breads that makes an absolutely fantastic base for French toast.

The problem with “high gas prices are an artifact of the conflict in Ukraine” is that it doesn’t explain why gas prices started to rise more than two months before Russia invaded Ukraine. See this chart, showing that gas prices rose more than 50% before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine drove them higher. With Biden…

If you miscarried or failed to implant, it would likely be treated like any other miscarriage in this post-Roe world (potentially suspicious).

Compared to Capcom’s controller for its mech simulator Steel Battalion for the Xbox, this is a piker. Capcom’s three-panel controller had 40 buttons, three foot pedals, two joysticks, a throttle handle, an eject switch behind a protective cover, and a radio dial. With an insane amount of specificity, eight buttons are…

‘...and “that from the very moment of fertilization, a woman has no rights to speak of,” according to the dissenting opinion.’

Unless these lanes are isolated from the rest of the road, with something like California’s FasTrak pass system to identify vehicles using the lanes — which creates the issue of having the space to create these separated lanes — there’s going to be no way to tell whether an EV using a charger lane has bought into the…

“Dispensing gas is an active, volatile business, requiring well-maintained pumps and a dedicated, trained operator for those pumps.”

It’s more complicated, because you have to modify the airframe, but you do it the same way it’s done on military aircraft — you either mount it against the skin of the aircraft, with a fin stuck out into the airflow attached to heat pipes running to the equipment to be cooled, or use a bigger fin with internal tubing…

The butterfat in milk from cows fed on fresh grass had a higher beta-carotene level, which would produce yellow or even orange cheese, which was seasonal; cheese produced from milk from cows fed on hay was white — as was cheese produced from milk a farmer or cheese maker had skimmed the cream from to sell separately.…

“EVERYONE always seems to miss the ‘well regulated militia’ part.”

You can certainly back up... as long as the car two feet behind you waiting for a pump -- and, sometimes, the one or two cars behind them -- is willing to let you out.
