Moving something as massive as a truck at highway speeds takes an enormous amount of energy. Cooking eggs and boiling water take considerably less.

I was veggie for climate reasons once upon a time, but I couldn’t keep it up because meat is delicious. If I could easily sate a burger craving with an Impossible Burger, I might give it another go.

As for #2, that’s exactly the point. The founder of Impossible is on the record as saying that their target market isn’t vegetarians, it’s environmentally conscious meat eaters who want to make a climate-friendly choice without sacrificing much if any flavor. It’s the Tesla of food.

This is basic “growth mindset” advice. There is a difference between BEING a thing, that is having it a core component of your identity, and FEELING a thing, which is potentially temporary. It is important to give children power over their destinies rather than to build fences around their identities from an early…

Let’s be friends, I like you.

Came here to try to do this, but yours is better.

I’m an outdoors person living in the Mountain West, so I do a fair amount of 2 - 6 hour driving on highways, possibly after a workday. The idea of a pushing a button and simply arriving at a dirt road and taking over from there is extremely appealing to me.

It was just a place-holder example of a de-escalation technique. I do not pretend to be an expert on federal regulations regarding alcohol on aircraft.

It wasn’t until I read your comment that I realized I was picturing Jonah Hill while I read the article.

Correct. It was phrased awkwardly, I admit.

Not sure why this review has been resurrected, but yes, this book was garbage. Couldn’t even finish it.

This broadly speaks to one of my pet peeves in life: Don’t talk to me the first time like you’ve already told me three times. In any situation. The flight attendant should start off with a polite but firm “I understand that you’re joking, but federal regulations forbid me from giving free alcohol for any reason, so…

Cruelty is cruelty. Believing that some people “deserve” cruelty dehumanizes them, and being willing to dehumanize some one indicates a willingness to dehumanize anyone.

No, they are referring to the sun.

My first Obsidian Stout was on draft at the brewery in Bend. It’s such an great example of excellent execution of a no-nonsense beer. It’s not trying too hard in any respect, it’s just good.

My point is that there is more money to be made in long-term strategic thinking that prioritizes building a brand around superior service.

Took me a minute, but it was worth it.

My father worked for Delta for 25 years after the (union) airline he worked for was acquired by them in the 80s. Every year his job got worse and his pay stagnated and his willingness to do a good job decreased. Hint to all service related employers: Treat your employees well so they treat your customers well. Why is…

Those Trader Joe’s patties are the business.

I’m intrigued by all of your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter. I’ve been doing some preliminary research on mild modifications I can make to my stock ‘07 Forester to give it better back country capability (like those geolanders you mention) and the Mrs. also has her sights set on an AWD Sienna and…
