Oceanliner Designs - lots of interesting videos about titanic & other ships of that era.

Caitlin Doughty/ask a mortician - lots of cool video essays about death

B1M - lots of cool engineering related videos

Evan & Katelyn - lots of cool resin creations.. gives me cooking channel vibes where after watching a video, i have an intense urge to make things i dont need.

Well Theres Your Problem - a podcast about engineering disasters… with slides

Tasting History with Max Miller - a cooking channel that is also a history lesson.. super cool

In addition, just a bunch of urban planning youtube (city beautiful/city nerd/oh the urbanity, etc) & video game content

Every time I open spotify, I always start my music experience with one of 3 songs..

"Numb" by Linkin Park

"Complicated" by, Avril Lavigne

"Perfect Day" by Hoku (legally blonde soundtrack)

so probably one of those 3 songs

I wish you luck in your quest for a demo..

Well known in pittsburgh.. really just tastes like a really shitty lunchable IMO. Every time im visiting the city, i grab a piece due to its regional uniqueness.. every time though, i immediately regret my decision.

Also, not sure if it is actually a thing, or if it is just a really weird restaurant, but just east of pittsburgh, theres a pizza restaurant that uses pie dough (like for apple pies) instead of pizza dough. They pair it with an extremely sweet tomato sauce. Was super weird

""Does the impact of pollutants and carbon offset even cover the cost of replacement given the current efficiency?""

Gas stoves emit a variety of harmful air pollutants.. The articles linked below indicate that these pollutants create a myriad of health issues that are particularly evident in children.. The studies cited in the article indicate that exposure comparable to cooking with gas increased respiratory illness in children by 20%..

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-health-risks-of-gas-stoves-explained/

Assuming a new stove costs $900, lasts 10 years, and you make $20/hr, missing just 6 days of work in that 10 year span from respiratory illness would cost more than getting a new stove. Considering that the NO2 quantity produced by gas stoves can cause a 20% increase in respiratory illness in children, I'd argue that switching is a no-brainer from a purely cost aspect, especially if you have children.. Missing work to deal with a sick kid is a nightmare.

If youre living alone & working from home, its likely that just factoring time lost to illness likely wouldn't cover the cost of replacement, but that is just 1 factor out of many..

“The coin game” has some of the best designed minigames ive ever seen!

The game is essentially just a collection of minigames, but it is put together incredibly well

What you're describing is a 200(ish) mile round trip commute.. aka 3(ish) hours in the car. Your post makes it sound like this is just a normal, everyday thing that a majority of Americans do, but its not..

as a daily commute, this is squarely classified as a “super commute”… about 2% of American commuters hate their life enough that they willingly subject themselves to such a grueling commute. Well outside the norm..

Would suggest a driving trip on I65 just north of Lafayette Indiana..

It is a flat boring patch of rural farm land just like the rest of rural indiana, but they added hundreds of wind turbines to the fields that stretch as far as the eye can see. It is truly a marvel to look at..

In essence, i drive through rural indiana every so often.. i can definitively confirm that the section with windmills is far more interesting looking than the rest.

If this is the case, then why hasnt the rest of the world seen a similarly startling increase in pedestrian fatalities?

The rise in smartphones was a global phenomenon. By your logic, the entire world should be seeing similar rises in pedestrian fatalities, but they arent.

On the other hand, the rapid increase in vehicle size/weight has been fairly localized to the US due to regulations that incentivized such..

Oh please, your toxic incel-like worldview effectively proved my point. pregnancy is inherently unfair and fucked up.. the unfair nature of it makes the burden of risk inherently unfair & fucked up.

No amount of male birth control is going to make you content, so i ask, what the fuck are you advocating for?

 

Was visiting a wisconsin town this weekend and observed this nightmare-ish bike lane configuration.. the road’s speed limit is 25mph, but has a massive 500’ acceleration lane. Gonna guess how many people actually obey the speed limit here?

The dashed lines denoting merging across the bike lane are a whopping 482 feet long!
