And exceedingly accurate. It’s amazing what people will do for clicks - I’m just waiting for some TikTok challenge that involves serious self-harm and we’ll see how many people go for it.

And air temp and altitude.   If you can’t get enough lift, then you’ve got to wait for cooler temperatures, or lighten your load.

Find yourself an Asian food store, and pick up some Gochujang. Or get it at Walmart. It’s got the same sort of bite and heat as Siracha, at least to me...

How about changing the title to ‘How to sound more knowledgeable’ instead of ‘less stupid’?

So? Nothing like groveling in person.

I’ll take your last question seriously. Freight rail won’t cut it for HSR - you need to lay new track wherever you need to go. That’d cost between $4-10 mil per mile, at least, in 2020 $$$. It’d take probably 30-50 years for a minimal network that covers where people fly now, cost exponentially more than the forecast…

Yeah... kind of strange, isn’t it?  It’s like the priorities are screwed.

That looks great! I’ll have to try that.

That’s nasty, nasty stuff.   

Next week, they’ll establish border inspection stations for new generators...

But that’s not important. They’re saving the planet - and if that means people die without power, that’s the cost they’re willing to pay while they sit in their air conditioned offices. (Which are cooled by electricity generated by unicorn farts, I guess.)

Look at it another way - any problem they say they’re going to attempt to ‘solve’ is not for YOUR sake, it’s to sound good so they can stay in power.

Screwing things up once, or twice - that’s understandable.

Jalopnik is about the only reason I even check the Gawker/Gizmodo constellation any more.  The rest...  Well, there's people that like it -so the lights stay on, but you've got to wonder if they've installed the cheapest LEDs they could find sometimes...

That there are!

*Sigh.* Of course they would do that.

...of course.

This is one of the things that ticked me off about Destiny 2. Thing’s beautiful, no doubt. But yeah, it’s turned into pay-for-play.

Kinda had that feeling. Hay’s NOT that heavy. If it was the same volume of bricks or concrete blocks, that’d be something. But hay?

Yeah, there’s a margin of error there that’s immense.

Darn big pockets, then!
