To me it’s when something that wasn’t offensive to anyone gets changed later because a small but vocal group demand it be and pretend to be offended by it. The group that then caves and changes it has gone “woke”. That would be how I think of it. Just my two cents I am not necessarily trying to defend the words use.

Of course, the greatly thought out “Rail Project” in California has proven to be so successful. Its wonderful that Musk’s Hyperloop was not able to stop such a transformative and efficent project, which has given great returns to its shareholders.

Dude, almost all Boring Co projects are self funded, they are not asking for Public money. Only quick approvals. We see how things “typically” run in california.

You might want to send someone walking ahead with a lantern, too. Can’t be too careful.

The Vegas project is in its early phases, partly because of restrictions by the government against self-driving cars, even in this controlled environment. I think lackluster is something to be used only after all developments are done and the thing still doesn’t impress. Boring Co. is working, among other things, to…

Right, because you wouldn’t want something that useful to invade your locale, with no impact on anyone but the users thereof.

Improving yields from existing wells is preferable to digging more wells.

No, induction has more control, some models even specific degree settings like an oven.

It works, you’re just bad at reading. You haven’t had any adverse health reactions YET. Something else will probably kill you first, but on a long enough timeline, you’re almost certainly going to develop some kind of condition. and WTF are you talking about? There are mountains of evidence that gas stoves can cause…

my induction cooktop gets better sears on meat than i ever got on my old gas range. and it boils water almost instantly. i don’t have a strong opinion about gas stoves being banned, but i find it ridiculous that people are saying that all electric stovetops are trash. 

“a high speed collision has never flung me through the windshield at 80mph, tearing apart my skin from head to foot, turning my body into a mangled pile of broken bones, blood, and excrement, that my closest friends and family would never be able to identify. I don’t see why I need a seatbelt”

The right take is to impose strict rules on the emissions...... That will provide a transition that may eventually lead to them being phased out. The additional controls will cost money to develop which will be reflected in the price of gas stoves going up —- reducing the number of gas stoves bought in general. Those…

I stopped watching shows, as they aired, for this exact reason.

In this case, I think you’re ignoring a bit of the complexity.

I wouldn’t want a relationship like that but that’s me. But lots of people (mostly men but Madonna and Cher are examples of women who engage in similar relationships, so it’s not just men, though women of course get way more shit for it) want exactly that. They don’t want to be with someone who is their equal in age…

Or maybe, just maybe, it has nothing to do with not wanting women that “don’t put up with shit” and everything to do with the fact that men value physical attractiveness more than women and young women tend to be the most physically attractive in most men’s eyes 🤷🏻‍♂️

Every billionaire is a policy failure in a country without universal healthcare.

he could start raising his dozen kids or so

Imagine being a billionaire and this is how you spend your time.
