“Of the 474 stories, they found that just 10% referenced the climate crisis — and hardly any of the stories were actually about global warming. In nine of out 10 years, climate played a central role in no more than 2% of stories.”

I’ve seen reposts of the dude doing archery stuff and sparring with his wife. I don’t know that I’ve heard him speak, but well done!

Excellent track. I also play Life’s Gone Down Low a lot.

The concept described here is what us homebuilders call “make up air.” In a tight envelope, when you need to exhaust air, you have to forcibly introduce fresh air to make up the difference. Otherwise your envelope (home) will sit in a vacuum and air won’t move anywhere.

Usually, there is only one window in a bathroom. If you have a fan, turn it on and open the window and it should disappate quickly. If you only have the window and no fan, punch a hole through the drywall to the next room, preferably close to the baseboard for optimal airflow. I assume you are at your “special friend’s house” and trying to hook up. Wait a few minutes and it should clear. Hope this helps!

Well, not now that you’ve broken it apart. Why did you do this and why are you asking? Are you investing in this power strip company?

But really, what is your use scenario? What is the rating on the unit?

Put as much money into your index funds and don’t stop until October 13th, 2026. Then convert it all to cash.

Penned by Karin Larsen, a sports reporter. I wonder if this is in her neighborhood and she likes to go fast.

But honestly, a good temporary strategy. These barriers are a stop-gap measure to slow down cars, but they aren’t good urban planning. What they do well is disrupt the norm and look ugly. It gets people on board for when a good plan comes along. I’ve seen it happen in my city over and over again. What I don’t know is if the city planners are fully aware of the strategy.

Don’t drink the water.

When evolution says “no notes.”

I use Recipe Keeper for Android. It converts pics, text and URLs to recipes, has a shopping list function, and is a 1-time purchase after the 1st 20 recipes you store. It’s also very simple - does everything I need and nothing I don’t.

I call all of it “sugar water” so that my kids know the two main ingredients.

That can’t be true, it’s just for satire, right? Right?

I agree, which is why I don’t see why people are saying the answer is 16. You add in the parentheses, you multiply, then you divide. The answer is 1.

This left-to-right business linked below is complete nonsense when it comes to equations. That’s how westerners read books, but not how math is communicated. Am I that old? Like Mr. Incredible said, did they change math!?!

Luckovich is a badass.

“I didn’t say she was crazy, I said she was fucking Goofy!”

Well, I know GOT S08 was dogshit. Is ST S05 the same? I haven’t made time for it.

I hope they licensed this footage appropriately and paid the voice actors scale, but I’d bet good money they didn’t.

Good. It’s terrible that this is a reality, but what is happening here is the decriminalization of being homeless and a student. Sure, you have to have a car, which isn’t great, but for those in this situation that need this service, I imagine it to be a comfort.

What this also does is make a very public safe space for people in dire conditions to congregate, commiserate, and hopefully organize. Please make a tent city; nothing will help illustrate the problem more. Create a safe place for unhoused people and see just how many show up.

A safe space for anyone to help meet their basic needs should always be a good thing.

Rage bait, maybe. But I chuckled, and that is good enough for me.
