“Better” is an engineering word and does not apply to a different aesthetic direction between existing vehicles and new ones. Humans are breathtakingly reactionary and hate what is new and different for no reason other than it is new and different. And then they will post paragraphs of bullshit on the internet that…

It’s so gross I didn’t even know it was a traditional Thanksgiving dish until like two years ago.

Came here to lecture the inevitable climate troll on how hotter weather results in more moisture which results in more precipitation including snow but I see no troll. Well done, humanity.

This is all just so very stupid and ugly. It’s a bunch of people who aren’t very intelligent but are definitely cunning trying to devise ways to lie and manipulate the largest number of people, who are inevitably the dumbest kind of people. Then this Machiavellian psychopathic Dark Triad behavior gets reported on by…

The whole point of insurance is that together prices will be lower and the uncertainty of life will not matter. The US insurance industry especially the health insurance side has made it so that prices are lower and certainty higher if you exclude them. And the dirty liberals plan to fix this was... to make buying…

The “technical” side of medical billing is a labyrinth of decades of bullshit that is not tolerated, legally or technically, in any other industry, or even within the medical billing industry outside the US.

I highly recommend making whatever you can in your instant pot. Your oven is spoken for. Your range - all four burners - are going to be occupied. If you can outsource some cooking to the instant pot, you might just get through this. It’s why I don’t judge people for buying premade items like canned cranberry sauce or…

I’m one of those people who likes cranberry sauce but let me tell you I dislike most of the ways cranberry sauce is served. An actual can of what is basically cranberry jello is fine. But some people prepare cranberry sauce with the goddamn stems of the berries still in it, so it ends up being a perfectly good sauce…

I’ve tried to make ground turkey into meatballs and while I didn’t fail exactly I had to use so much binder they had the texture and most of the flavor of dog treats. I highly recommend beef for making meatballs. It’s not exactly seasonal to use beef but unless someone has a better binder than bread crumbs this is not…

You have to fix Alabama.

I mean in the sad annals of false racism accusations at least black is an actual race. Had a dude treat his girlfriend like shit then justify it because she was racist. Turns out it was her friends who were “racist” and the “race” in question was otherkin and the “racist joke” his girlfriend “tolerated” was “if you’re…

Best case scenario for astronomers: Elon Musk builds a moon base with a bunch of telescopes and they move in before Elon Musk’s satellites trigger Kessler Syndrome and end the age of spaceflight for the next 500 years.

so instead of fix the telecom companies you’re going to shoot so much stuff into space no one can shoot stuff into space anymore

Required reading for anyone enamoured of identity politics.

my gf just sang this irl while I shouted “I explicitly did not want this”

Pretty soon the only people able to eat chocolate and drink coffee will be rich illiterates living on the moon. Maybe also the astronauts with multiple PhDs the rich need to run the bioreactors (and scrub their toilets), but maybe all the nauts money will go to paying for rent and oxygen and water. Just a 19th century…

One of the neat touches in the book Artemis was how disappointed people were at moon coffee. The moon base in the book was pressurized to 21000 pascals of pure O2. You just can’t make a decent cup of coffee at that pressure. The boiling point of water is about 60° C at that pressure (140° F). Ground beans need to be a…
