“According to Stellantis, 97 percent of its salaried and non-union workforce in the U.S. — numbering 14,000 employees — has either been vaccinated or granted a medical or religious exemption.”

I’m in Arizona, not Florida, but similar rules apply. 

I assume that the reason that she is donating a fixed $25 per candle, rather than all profits, is that she doesn’t want anyone to figure out how huge her markups are.

“an individual, by virtue of his or her race or sex, does not bear responsibility for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race or sex”

If a mixed race child felt bad about himself, could his white half sue the other half of himself?

“Holy shit wtf is wrong with this country”

I’ll up that to:

Prius driver’s COVID booster caused a magnetic field that pulled Kuczwanski’s BMW into the side of the Prius; TWICE!!! Once out on the road, again in the parking lot. It also pulled Kuczwanski’s gun out of the glove compartment where it was safely stored. The field was so strong it altered the path of the Prius…

But DeSantis still leads on body count.

I assumed the yoke was part of an internal competition to see who can sell the most ridiculous ideas to the Tesla fanboys.

He answered Ballotpedia’s candidate survey, where he listed his favorite book as “Art of the Deal” by Donald Trump. As for what he thinks America’s biggest challenge will be over the next ten years, he wrote “maintaining a sustainable fiscal balance”.

I don't think that this is exactly what you're looking for, but it might be helpful. The paper below is from Cornell and Stanford scientists. It goes through the various methods of generating hydrogen, and provides the "cost" in grams CO2 per MegaJoule of energy output. It compares them to the case of just burning…

The article quoted is wrong, “blue hydrogen” refers only to hydrogen produced from methane. Hydrogen from coal is ”brown hydrogen” or “black hydrogen” depending on its source (brown coal and black coal, respectively). All of these processes produce CO2 as a byproduct, which they then have to sequester in order to make…

Google Books has it’s Ngram tool that tracks word usage from 1800 till today.

Far too many people think that a pedophile is a person who has sex with children, not a person who is sexually attracted to children. Since the university president said “the phrase ‘minor-attracted people’ is inappropriate and should not be utilized as a euphemism for behavior that is illegal, morally unacceptable,…

Around that time, I used to walk past one of these Firebirds every day in my work parking lot. It is definitely a very ugly car.

I knew a woman who would play dumb, and then ask a bunch of questions which the other person would gladly openly answer, often giving much more information than was asked for. Then she would straighten up, put on a serious face and begin pointing out the conflicting aspects of the answers, and quickly get to the truth.

I know that they don’t just want autonomous cars talking to each other, but they also want them to talk to meatbag-driven cars as well. Maybe it’s hard to figure out how to include the meatbags in a meaningful way.

Vehicle-to-vehicle communication is something that they all want to do eventually. I don't know why it hasn't happened yet.
