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.

Oh aliens definitely exist. Everything from slime molds to interplanetary and even interstellar species probably exists somewhere.

They’re not gonna fucking come here though. No one in the universe besides us can probably even detect earth as having intelligent life. We’ve only been broadcasting radio for a little over a century, on a planet that’s 4.5 billion years old.

And If you can travel between stars, you can also live perfectly fine without a planet. I’m sure there are star systems with much better resources than sol, that don’t have omnicidal apes with itchy nuclear trigger fingers.

Anything can be a UFO if you’re bad enough at identifying things.

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.

It can take a decade or 2 for prions to damage your brain enough to notice, after that it’s a pretty rapid spiral into death.

That’s a pretty shit gamble.

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.

To be fair, Soyuz has been launching people to space for nearly as long as NASA has existed. If there’s one thing the Russians know how to build, it’s the Soyuz spacecraft and rocket.

Now the launch pad did get fucking destroyed, which is kinda funny. But the rocket itself worked perfectly fine.

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.
