honestly not trying to be pedantic but the US is already on the metric system which is why your food labels all show everything in grams. The only problem is it is without penalty for non-compliance.

it’s a weird flex to be sure.

I want a god-damned liter cola!

Depends on how many knuckles are on a hand. Is it 2 or 3? I once heard someone say it’s only a knuckle if you can punch with it. :)

Leave it to an engineer to assume they understand operations :). I find it a lot easier to assume the engineer knows their field better than me, not sure why the respect isn’t reciprocal. For the most part, when I take the time to find out about someone else’s job it becomes clear pretty quickly that they made…

That bit about tablature is certainly apocryphal, since medieval tablature doesn’t look substantially different from today.

This guy lexus’s. We have a mechanic that maintains our vehicles and has for 20 years now so we don’t go to the dealership but the one time I did, their barrista greeted me to know what kind of coffee i’d like. Complimentary, which fresh baked cookies. Now, I immediately knew all of that was baked into the service…

My wife owns an RX 350 so we’re as guilty as anybody for driving CUV demand. It replaced a 15 year old camry. It was for her the “i made it” car. Comfortable, command seating, room for kids, easy to get in and out of particularly for her parents. But “perceived reliability”? Bruh, it ranks as #1 year over year for its…

1000x this!

I think that is only kind of true. If the tax doesn’t cover the cost of the utility then it would indeed be a subsidy because the those costs would need to be made up elsewhere. Does gas tax cover enough to pay for road infrastructure and pollution mitigation (assuming any is being spent at all on the latter)? I don’t…

you can throw Gleaming the Cube in there too.

That low key white supremacist crowd represents like 42% of the voting population if polls are any indicator. Let me be clear, I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m just being enlightened on the country that I live in.

Except that what is being characterized as “cognitive abilities” could just as easily been attributed to his well documented lifelong stutter. Trump’s team prepped him on how to incite that stutter which is why he was going after Biden on personal attacks (not that he needed encouraging) in order to drive the dementia…

not sure what money you are talking about. there was no advertising during the debate so eyeballs didn’t matter in that sense other than building the ABC brand.

r/conservative at your own risk. I went over there just to see how they were reacting and I had another one of those feelings of dread that seem so common these days. There is a nation within a nation that is so divided on fundamental issues that I have never been more afraid for our federal republic. What do you do…

I’m pretty critical of articles like these as they tend to take up mindshare and lead people to overestimate the risk which may lead to people making worse decisions regarding their health. The question is what is the consequence? Borderline non-existant. If you’re going to write a headline like “Not even your seltzer…

Carbonic acid is gives it that bitter taste. Totally natural but an acquired taste. BTW, it is the reason you can’t carbonate things that don’t react well to acids, like milk. Ask me how I know.

In fairness several of their vehicles/options have decreased in price over the years but it has been hit and miss.

Not only that but many people that own mutual funds may have these included in their portfolios without knowing it. I love that people constantly blame “shareholders” for driving operations when many/most of us are shareholders and directly (though somewhat obfuscated) benefit from a rise in stock value. I own no…
