It also helps that a rather large proportion of American men are circumcized. You can blame John Kellogg (yes, the guy that invented bran and had a company named after him) for that

And for the kids that are smarter than you, you just bully them until they shut up, or transfer to a different school.

I really hope you’re kidding here

What about twizzlers?

Ironic

I use CoMaps and it (mostly) works. My biggest gripe is that it tries to force you onto freeways and highways whenever possible, even when backroads are both faster and more fuel efficient, so if I use it for a route I know 90% of, I end up having to fight it

Yeah, I saw that comment after writing this one and I agree that that’s moreblikely then mine. That being said, I think my previous comment is at least a tertiary benefit, so I’ll leave it up

Tbf, USAF pilots generally got the same thing

True.

While the USSR has a history of ignoring human safety, I suspect a large factor for landing on, well, land is the fact they had very few ports open year-round, unlike the US

I don’t recall my high school ag class tesching this tbh

If you have a cat named Princess Donut, I don’t know if you’re lucky or unfortunate

Get a mask, gloves, a stick welder, and some scrap steel for practice. You can learn it off of Youtube easily enough.

Just whatever you do, DON’T WELD GALGANIZED STEEL! The zinc evaporates into fumes and can get you very sick and possibly kill you. If you absolutely have to weld galvanized steel, do it outside with a fan blowing all the fumes down wind.

Tbh, if I thought that I couldn’t get another job I’d just buy some land and start homesteading. I work in an office, but I’m also no stranger to manual labor

The copyright extensions in the 20th century are theft of the commons. Those corporations are taking from public domain and not paying back. They’re thieves, and why should we care if large scale thieves become victims of theft?

Bring copyright back to the original 17 years plus a 17 year extension (max 34) in the US. Then we’ll talk.

And it’s the most likely solution. The universe has been hostile to life until very recently (on a cosmological scale). We know we’re rather early in the goldilocks zone of universal habitability.

I just find it odd when some people argue “humans aren’t special enough to be that lucky. We’re too stupid to achieve more”. It’s odd because calling humans stupid is actually arguing that humans are exceptional. Meanwhile you don’t have to be exceptional to be lucky.

And if you’re wondering, it’s Lex Friedman that argues this. And no, I don’t listen to him anymore. I stopped once over 50% of the people he interviewed were just AI and crypto shills

Obviously, if there was a significant atmosphere the moon would experience atmospheric drag and would fall to earth.

Would it?

The Moon is slowly drifting further away because Earth’s rotation is significantly faster than the lunar orbit. Some of Earth’s rotational energy is bled into the lunar orbit, causing it to increase in height, which in turn lowers its orbital period.

If there was a significant atmosphere for Earth at that height, you’d think it would actually give the Moon a boost

There are over 100 volcanos on Antarctica

You can build your own router fyi

And you can even mix-and-match cells of both types in a vehicle to better fit a target demographic. It’s not simply one or the other.

That being said, it’s better to have a car with a 200 mile range sodium battery and a small range extender for that 2-4 times per year trip
