Car -sized internal combustion engines are wildly inefficient. Car-sized electric motors are wildly efficient.

People generally only keep hens when you have just a few chickens in the backyard. Roosters don't lay eggs and they crow loudly all day, so if you're just interested in having a few animals for eggs roosters don't help much. Roosters can help protect the flock from predators.

You're probably thinking that one hen and one rooster will produce more chickens for free. You actually don't want the eggs you're planning on eating to be fertilized by a rooster. Fertilized eggs grow small chickens inside of them instead of just having a yolk and egg white.

Hatching chicks from eggs is a whole process requiring different equipment and setups, so generally casual backyard chicken havers don't mess with breeding and just buy more chickens from bigger operations when necessary.

I always find these rulings to be so ridiculous. They say the judge can be trusted to not be impartial so we don't need to recuse him. Why does the recusal system exist if judges can be trusted to be impartial about matters they have a personal stake it? The exception eclipses the rule here.

I use an old Britta filter with some cheese cloth to filter my old IPA. Pour in the old nasty stuff, let it sit for a day, pretty clean reusable IPA comes out the other end.

Can't wait for all the boomers to finish dying so we can get some real work done around here.

I almost never have to mess with it once I got it running. Very occasionally I have to turn off blocking for a minute to access a website that is being served by an ad server, but this is easy. There is a web interface that you can use on your phone web browser with an option to pause blocking for 30 seconds or 5 minutes.

It has never broken or had a bad update or something and blocked my whole Internet. Good reliable set up and forget software. Been running it for years.

We're not voting for them because they're good, we're voting for them because they aren't the worst human on earth.

Another reason for pi-hole! The spot where my tv shows ads is just an empty box. Very satisfying.

God also created Lucifer knowing that he was destined to fall into Hell and be Satan for all eternity. What a cruel thing to do to one of your children. Why would you worship a God who decides to torture his own creations in such a way?
