For what? There’s a reason it has the population of a small city.

I’ve had the opposite experience. Mint has just worked on literally every piece of hardware I’ve ever owned.

Everything is higher than the government reports.

Trump fired the guy that reported the unemployment numbers for reporting accurate numbers. I assume everything since is propaganda.

Also, if something has incapacitated the pilot and copilot, the odds that any of the passengers are even conscious seem pretty low.

It’s actually really expensive to get things to the sun.

The easiest ice covered rock to get to from earth would be Europa. He might also confuse it with Greenland as an added bonus.

There is no difference. The traces of minerals that make it pink are so minute that the human tongue can’t pick them up. It’s salt, it’s a rock, it tastes like salt.

Bigger chunks of salt taste saltier because there is in fact more salt per chunk. That’s the only difference between different types of table salts.

Western powers promised Ukraine protection against attack or invasion by themselves and Russia in the December 5th, 1994 Budapest Memorandum.

The US, France, UK, Russia, and China all agreed not to invade Ukraine and in fact to provide protection, and in exchange, Ukraine gave up their nukes.

Russia violated this just 20 years later when they invaded and stole Crimea from Ukraine, and now 30 years later they are trying to conquer the entire country.

Thats why everyone is so hell bent on providing support for Ukraine. Not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because they were promised protection by world powers.

Audiobooks helped me get back into reading. It’s a different medium, but I’m still getting the story.

And now I can enjoy a good story and fold laundry or do other chores at the same time.

From what I can tell, there’s only one 200V cap in a PS1, so as long as you don’t short that you’ll be fine.

I still caution against the advice of feeling open electrical components to find problems. Just use a multimeter. You short something with a meter and you just need new leads, short something spicy with your fingers and you could either get a nasty sting, or stop your heart. The risk/reward on that seems a little off.

Don’t touch the inside of a psu, this can kill you very rapidly and you’ll feel it the whole time.

Is that gamble worth the lives of nearly every living thing on the planet and the future of human civilization?

Russia alone has enough nuclear weapons to cause a mass extinction event. Even if no one else fires a single one, they could erase life as we know it.

If Putin sees a Leopard tank in Moscow, are you sure he wouldn’t order a launch? And if Britain or the French see those missiles and bombers, are you sure they won’t launch in retaliation?

That’s the logic that European leaders are operating under. If they pull the trigger on article 5 and launch a war with Russia, even if they win, everyone could still lose literally everything.

I thought all the hesitation was because of the nukes.

I’m pretty sure it’s the nukes.

Do you call a plumber every time your sink or toilet backs up?

Maintenance is one thing, major repairs are another.

I wouldn’t call a plumber first thing to unclog a toilet, and I wouldn’t go to a mechanic just for them to dump oil out and measure the right amount of oil back in.

Now if the engine is making weird noises, or it’s not shifting right or braking correctly, then yeah, go to a mechanic. Mechanics are way more familiar with internal workings and can diagnose strange issues.

And how exactly would they force the United States to do anything?

“Join Us or we’ll start a two front war to make you join us” is hardly a convincing argument.

Two words: Breakfast Sausage.

They use breakfast sausage instead of Italian for their sausage.

I ordered a pizza from there once and spit it out.

How do they still have business?

Are there any water filters that are proven to filter PFAS?

And what about irrigation water that is contaminated and sprayed on the organic crops?

I get the rich people hate, but this does feel like an issue that will impact literally everyone. Once something is in the water cycle it’s hard to get rid of it.

Only poor people eat produce and drink water?

The drama is that this is an entirely unnecessary step that adds extra work for the technician/owner that wants to change rear brake pads/rotors, which are a wear item.

I’ve been doing brakes on mine and my family’s cars for over a decade. It’s dramatically cheaper to buy pads and rotors and swap them myself, and if I do it myself I know that it was done right and there’s antiseize everywhere it should be. So now in addition to all the work of jacking the car up, removing tires, removing the calipers, depressing the caliper, cleaning the hub, coating the hub with antiseize, cleaning the guide pins, reinstalling and torquing everything to spec, I now have to get a battery/transformer/charger and wire into a sensor to tell the stupid fucking computer that the pads and rotors are new. Why can’t the computer use a position sensor to just detect that there’s now thicker material there? Why isn’t there just an option in the maintenance settings that you can press to say that you’ve done the work and to reset the maintenance interval? Fuck this shit, doing brakes is already a time sink if you live in the rust belt, and this system adds nothing but an extra cost or extra work to the person performing the work. There’s no safety gain from it existing, it’s fucking stupid.

This is renting, just the bank is your landlord and you’re responsible for all bills and repairs.

But is it very fascist, and that’s so hot right now.
