2000 ppl are still dying *every* day from COVID. It’s not the ‘same risk they used to take’ and likely won’t be for years. We had a chance to nip this in the bud, but Trump went all in on pretending it didn’t exist and got 1/2 the country to follow him.  Blame him/them if you must.

Think of the poor Onion writers who can no longer reliably parody completely insane ideas.

The story of the Shackleton expedition is a truly fascinating tale. That no one died is simply astounding.

holy chit...Kinja didn’t Kinja the Kinja outta my link!

Treebeard gonna get upset

Ah gotcha. it basically has 2 magnets that cancel themselves when switched off.

Yeah and hilariously, if the electric system goes out....now your cargo is free to boogey off to buffalo.

Imma need more lighting to deal with that amount of shade

hydro unfortunately is quite limited in it’s application. Where it works, yeah it’s great for generation, but it has severe effects on it’s environment.

Exactly. Miles driven modified by vehicle registration/type. Does a good job of approximating taxing based on fuel usage.

Reduce, ReFLOAT, Recycle

I really and truly feel your pain. I’m absolutely in the same boat, no idea if I’d even be alive at this point w/o the diagnosis and CPAP.

Belt drives for the win! I replaced a chain one and it’s downright incredible how silent it is.

Snoring. Hoo boy. When I finally got tested for sleep apnea, my snoring was 80 decibels. Everyone in my family is a *loud* snorer so it was never considered anything abnormal except by the very unfortunate college roommates or convention hotel room designees.

The thing that most municipalities don’t get is that for public transit to be used it has to basically be 24/7. or at least core outside hours like 4am to 2am (at which point, just go 24/7).

I look forward to electric HD’s that need 47 of the ‘standard’ batteries

NWS has expressly said don’t do it I believe. There aren’t the criteria in place to say what storm deserves a name. The truly epic ones have been so rare that the Blizzard of 2003 is good enough.

We don’t, the Weather Channel has decided they need marketing
