I bet I can guess what time period you were born.

You know that some people with psychiatric disorders have died at some point since the introduction of leaded gasoline, yeah? So it’s not half the country.

Also, since this is science, you’re welcome to conduct your own peer-reviewed study to back up your hypothesis. 

It doesn’t really ward off starvation - it allowed populations to expand until they met the next constraint. In the US and Asia that is going full speed towards wars over water. Add in the extra people burning more fossil fuel and accelerating climate change and it is definitely going to get to the big squeeze sooner. 

Airborne lead that can be directly aspirated and also ends up on every surface, soil, food—everything—is far worse than lead exposure from plumbing. In normal conditions, lead pipes quickly develop a protective scale that prevents lead from leaching into the water.

And just like that, you’ve summoned him!

And? What’s your point? That we shouldn’t attempt to improve anything even a little bit because we can’t make everything perfect?

Fun fact (okay, maybe not so fun): Thomas Midgely, who played a key role in developing leaded gasoline, also invented Freon and many other harmful CFCs. It is very likely that no other single person has had such a long-lasting and deleterious effect on the environment.

I guess we should hurry up and FINALLY ban the shit that keeps flying over my house then, eh FAA?

This hardly seems like the application of the wrong pedal. When you look at instances where the accelerator is being depressed instead of the brake, there is usually sudden and significant acceleration because as the car is accelerating instead of the expected braking, the automatic inclination is to push…

Ah shit, I guess I fucked up.

It’s as interesting as the dog turd yesterday that had me doing a skid, almost causing me to land on my back on top of it. I expect it was laid by a Great Dane or an over-eating Retreiver.

I really love what the designers were trying to do with Cybertruck, it’s really interesting design.

“Can’t park it, fit it on the streets, charge it, get it worked on, or get the software to work, had to give it baby bumpers, and people are constantly pointing and laughing at me.
...
Still love the truck.”

Reading the whole post cuts into valuable time that could be used to post idiotic knee-jerk reactions.

This country is a seriously bizarre place to live, and Buc-ee’s is a microcosm of our American existence at present. This combination gas station-grocery store-way of life is a mirror we have erected to show us ourselves.

I didn’t mention politics, you jackass. Now kindly go fuck yourself with a dry, life-size, fist-shaped dildo wrapped in sandpaper.

nice straw man you got there

Buc-ee’s is a horrible company run by terrible people. Buck Fuc-ee’s.

Except that the people who voted for him will never accept that the tariffs are the cause of their economic pain. Trump will claim that it’s all the fault of the Democrats obstructing him in Congress, and the rubes will believe it.

Did they stop after hitting the sign?  No?  They kept moving?  Sign worked.
