"No casualties were found."

Nice.

On the positive side, they really stuck the landing.

Did you really expect anything else?

Didn’t you hear about that about that wind turbine that exploded and spread wind all over a dozen farmer’s fields? /s

Got a message saying I was banned from a sub I wasn't even subscribed to and hadn't posted to. I replied to the message telling them to get stuffed. They reported me and got me banned from Reddit for 3 days.

So instead, I banned Reddit and haven't looked back. F-'em.

Tesla's newest approach to cost-cutting? No longer paying for air in their customer's tires?

“Somebody’s got to pay for the grid,” Wara said. “Especially in the past, that somebody else is a low-income, poor-credit-score person who doesn’t own a south-facing rooftop maybe because they live in multifamily rental housing.”

Remember back in the '20s when PG&E pretended to care about low-income people as an excuse to raise rates on everyone?

Nuclear Power Industry: "We need to invest $10B in nuclear plants!"
Everyone else: "Why not just spend $1B on battery storage instead?"
Nuclear Power Industry: "Nah, that's not feasible."

I skip the app and use one of Safeway's "Please Don't Rape Me" cards that I found in the parking lot.

True. And the nepo-babies that lead these corporations are making millions off dollars each year simply by showing up to work.
Switching over to electric vehicles is inevitable. But who's going to do that work and take that risk? What if they screw up? Ain't no nepo-baby gonna screw up that cash cow. They're going to continue showing up to work every day, sucking up the income and when the end of gasoline happens, they'll throw up their hands and say, "No one could have seen that coming."

(To be fair, it's not just management. There are tons of people at every level who don't want to risk losing their job with an uncertain outcome over just showing up to work every day and doing the same job they already know. But it's the "leadership's" job to do that anyway for the long-term health of the company.)

 

I distinctly remember saying, "Beef".

Brown Sriracha? (self.cooking)
submitted 4 weeks ago by sudo42 to c/cooking
 

Has Huy Fong Sriracha changed color?

Saw a bunch of bottles at the store today, but instead of their usual brick-red color, the sauce was almost brown. I checked the expiration dates on a few bottles -- the date was June of 2026 (or there abouts, don't remember the exact date), so they weren't expired. Anyone know if these Sriracha bottles are unusual, or is Sriracha brown now?

 

Grass, weed, tree, just some of the sources of pollen that can send our allergies off.

In my experience, I’ll react (itchy eyes, etc.) for a day or two, then it will wane. Certainly the pollen I’m reacting to doesn’t magically disappear in a day. What processes do I have to thank that allow me to suffer only a relatively short time? Are the allergen in pollen unstable and break down quickly on their own? Are there bacteria or other life forms that are helping to break the allergens down?

Tearing eyes and draining noses want to know!

 

In the Dune universe, when a laser weapons hits a shield, both are destroyed in a nuclear explosion reaction.

So instead of building nuclear weapons, wouldn’t it be easier to tie a timer and a “parachute” to a laser gun and drop it from orbit onto your enemy’s city?
