Lifehack: don’t name your kids Fable or Revie.

If binging episodes of Gourmet Makes is an addition then I can quit anytime I want, dammit!

Who has ever said it’s a substitute for the real thing? It’s its own thing.

A professional race driver cheated in a competition. Just because it was in a simulated environment as opposed to in real life doesn’t make it any less relevant.

If it’s just a game, why did he hire a ringer?

There’s no reason why you can’t have an engineer’s race that is also close and exciting. I’m an engineer, and part of engineering is working within a budget. Doing the most you can with a finite amount of resources and dreaming up creative solutions to maximize that budget.

Yes, however these nuclear reactors are encased and effectively just become a really hot rock at the bottom of the ocean. Assuming they are built to standard. There’s been on the order of 10 nuclear subs that have sunk and as far as I know we are not tracking any of them as a source of radiation

I’ll pay YOU to isolate me on fake Mars for the next 8 months.

I had a full-on grammar crisis with that headline (not your fault, mine).

I can’t stand Leno’s show. The only one I could tolerate was the Porsche episode, with Seinfeld of course. He did one with a couple of guys who had two of the Knight Rider cars, and just gave them a bunch of shit. Like, you asked them to be on the show, let them nerd out about their cars. Leno is a dick.

If someone really is still…

This is wrong. Herd immunity is a thing for vaccinations and masks. Both protect the people around you much more than they protect you.

This isn’t right.

This is a really good write up. Seriously, for all the BS on the internet regarding fitness and nutrition I like how generally Vitals remains on the good side of this topic.

Then if you can’t wear a mask when you are required to wear a mask for everyone else’s safety, don’t go outside.

and here I am getting anxious at the idea that I might unknowingly pass the virus to someone who could die from it

Cloth masks shouldn’t be much problem because they have tiny volume compared to amount of air you breathe in/out. CO2 accumulation has been a problem with full face snorkeling masks though although it can be mostly fixed with one way valves and proper design of air circulation in the mask. They have been suspected in…
