Good news, it’s completely non toxic.

Bad news, it costs 2 million dollars per square foot.

The pentagon will now take your whole paycheck.

Thank you for your support, patriot.

You guys are finding fish?

The lake and streams by my house used have so many fish in the early summer that I’d reach in and grab them with my hands as a kid. That was only 20 years ago.

Now I’m lucky if I see a single fish on a hike.

The results of the bug-pocalypse are starting to show, and it’s going to be exponentially worse over the next few years.

Yes, if trump ever leaves office alive or doesn’t get an instant pardon from the next guy.

Those are two very big ifs

Unfortunately, it’s a lot harder to rigorously test something than it is to shit a new product out into the wild with no regard for its impact.

If you don’t have good looks, that’s one thing, you can’t really change that.

But then if you don’t look good and you can’t try to hold a conversation, that’s your problem.

Learn to speak, it’s not hard. go talk to people and gain some confidence. All this talk about poor socialization or being unattractive and creepy just demoralizes people that I’m sure could actually make friends and meet spouses if they didn’t preemptively pull themselves out of the situation before they gave themselves the chance

Met my wife online during the pandemic.

Dated a fair few women before her, meeting online and in real life.

I’m not super attractive, and pretty awkward, but I always make the effort to be polite and actually listen instead of waiting to talk, you’d be amazed how far that actually gets you.

I love when superstitions are obviously something some parents told their kids because the parent didn’t want a lot of noise after a holiday.

“No, no chores today it’s bad luck, if you make too much noise someone could die” they say holding their head in their hands.

“You have to be quiet and go to bed early on Christmas Eve so that Santa can bring presents” 30 minutes later the parents are quickly shoving presents under the tree.

And kids will just run with that and not question why cleaning in the days after new years is bad luck, although they tend to figure out the Santa one pretty quick.

No, but your government probably does.

Or is this too abstract a concept to extrapolate.

Fantastic, because we all know facial ID has no problems identifying non-white people.

I can see it now: Idris Elba getting picked up by the feds because O’Hare fired this thing up and recorded 700 Idris Elba’s All boarding different flights using different names.

I mean, you never owned your passport, ever.

If you look at the very first page, it says “ property of the US government” and then there’s some blurb about tampering being a felony.

Same thing for a diver’s license. You don’t own it, your state does.

I do agree that moving to digital identification is a huge mistake. It’s too easy to lose access to a digital device or account. Or have it spoofed in some way. I’d much rather have a physical ID that won’t run out of battery or have a glitch that makes accessing it impossible for an unknown length of time.

Sadly, there would be no reaction mass.

All that would happen is the lcd panel would boil and crack, and the processor would overheat soon after because nothing is carrying away the heat.

No one was jamming the Russian space shuttle, or shooting missiles at it.

It’s one thing to have an autonomous landing program on an aircraft, it’s another thing entirely to have a program that can react to surface to air missiles, enemy jamming, and over the horizon air to air missiles.

Elon musk is an idiot if he thinks a drone can replace all of the capabilities of even an F22, let alone the F35, which is a multi-role aircraft capable of handling all of the above and more. The F35 can jam, do reconnaissance, network with friendly fighters to fire over the horizon missiles, and drop bombs that weigh 1000 times what a drone can carry. Was it a good use of tax dollars considering the budget overruns? Probably not. But can it be replaced by drone swarms? Hell no. The F35 is an unmatched weapons platform, that’s why nato countries have been buying them.

Buying a second house for your estranged wife is very normal. I’ve got tons of very real, normal human friends that buy their wives second houses because divorce would cost more than a second house.

The person is very human, yes.

I’ve just accepted that no matter how much I try to save, or what kind of job I get, the economy will explode every ten years and I’ll get shafted.

Who needs to retire anyway.

You think a billionaire that spends most of his “very busy” schedule tweeting nonsense cares to read the news?

There’s probably a dedicated intern that gives him daily briefings while Musk scrolls twitter for a new Nazi to retweet. The intern knows better than to upset the Muskrat, and keeps news about Tesla issues to a minimum.

Oh boy, here we go again.

Kids these days are born too late to invade the Middle East, but born just in time to invade Canada, apparently.

I just hope we don’t have to wait all the way until 2077 for the Great War. I want to see deathclaws and super mutants while my eyesight is still good.

Unfortunately, it’s only like 350 meters wide.

The big one that took out the dinosaurs was 10 to 15 kilometers.

A 350 meter asteroid would just make a lot of noise and make a little splash if it survived to hit the ocean, or a little hole in the ground if it managed to strike land.

We need to pray for bigger space rocks.

Everything is edible, but only some things are edible multiple times.

I think everyone should learn how to sharpen a kitchen knife at least.

Dull knives are dangerous, and it really only takes an afternoon to get decent at sharpening a knife.

Unfortunately there’s a lot of lore about knife sharpening, like how you need really fine grit stones, or a whetstone being the best, when in reality you can get a shaving sharp edge from a 20 dollar diamond stone from a hardware store. Sure, a 4000 grit stone will get you a mirror finish and a more refined edge that will last slightly longer, but even an 80 grit stone when used properly, will get you a good edge that will last for months without any other sharpening.
