Um, there’s a mollusk, see…And he walks up to a sea, well he doesn’t walk up, he swims up. Well, actually the mollusk isn’t moving. He’s in one place and then the sea cucumber, well they… I mixed up. There was a mollusk and a sea cucumber. None of them were walking, so forget that I… There was this mollusk and he walks up to a sea cucumber. Normally, they don’t talk, sea cucumbers, but in a joke, everyone talks. So the sea mollusk says to the cucumber…
With fronds like these, who needs anemones?

Sometimes a monopoly can have so much money that it actually does some very significant amount of innovation. Look at Ma Bell.
The problem is to not let them get so big though. Then you’ve got to break it up and that gets hairy. Look at Ma Bell.
And then they might try to get back together. Look at Ma Bell.
And at the end of it, we might just end up with a duopoly of shit. Look at Ma Bell and Xfinity.

- Comment on Why don;t most of us Americans only need like one foreign language to pass high school? Why not make it mandatory for like 3 or 4 languages?Would that not give us the upper hand when traveling? 5 days ago:
Hahah travel. Funny joke.
In truth, though, a small number of school districts do do immersive bilingual K-12 education. That means the full curriculum is bilingual…around here usually English/Spanish. Not just one class. Usually in tightly integrated (read: mixed-race) communities.

Seriously those starving children in africa owe me a little bit of thanks for always finishing my plate. Or something.

What’s difficult is keeping with it.
My weight has fluctuated from a low of 180lbs to a high of 450lbs throughout my entire adult life.
I know what to do. I know it’s easy to do it.
The hard part is knowing that the second I stop counting, it all comes piling back on.
It’s incredibly discouraging to know that most people can just…live. They eat when they’re hungry. They don’t constantly have a voice in their head telling them to eat when they aren’t. They don’t use sweets for emotional support or stress relief. They can leave food on a plate when they’re full. And they feel full with reasonable portions of food.
Moreso, they aren’t riddled with anxiety whenever their fat ass is on display out in public doing exercise.
I had an elderly woman at physical therapy tell me I’m the biggest man she’s ever seen. You know how upsetting that is? Like, no shit, I know I’m fat. And sure she likely has no filter because of dementia but man it still burns.

That’s not courtesy, that’s law. Keep right except to pass.
Done passing? Get right.
Not passing fast enough? Gtfo.

News to me…I pay 20k/yr in premiums and my employer pays an additional 30k.
But Mass drivers do need to get out of the left lane.
We aren’t as bad as Rhode Island in this regard, but at least Rhode Island has a level 1 trauma center within 20 minutes of like 80% of its highways.

Does this mean that tube socks are not, in fact, tubes?
If there is a second hole in the sock, does that change things?
I have a lot to consider now.

But why not just make electricity from renewable energy?
Like, I get the benefit of fuel cells, but people need to realize that hydrogen closer to a battery than a fuel source itself. You’re expending energy now to make storage of energy that can be tapped later.
It’s good for places where vehicles can’t tap into the grid and need dense energy storage (i.e. transoceanic freighters), or where long charging times are infeasible (like long-range trucking).
And probably good for grid-level storage, too.
But for a typical family car/commuter? There’s really no point. You’re adding more steps in energy conversion, and losing efficiency at every additional step (thanks to basic physics), and to gain what? A faster refueling time on a long road trip? An experience closer to what we were used to with ICE-cars? An experience that really isn’t that great anywhere that has a winter.
Maybe for people who can’t have a charger at home, even an L1, but there are better solutions for that (like…adding an outlet? Making landlords responsible for providing power whenever there is parking? More municipal charging locations?)

Thank you for explaining the process, because the pro-fuel-cell pact doesn’t understand that hydrogen isn’t free.
“Oh it comes from ammonia”. Alright, where does the ammonia come from???

I mean put yourself in my perspective here, suburban white boy in elementary school.
I don’t think there was even one black kid in my own grade until high school.
My only knowledge of prejudice being a bad thing came from an MLK poster in first grade, and my second grade teacher reproducing Jane Elliot’s experiment in class (which in retrospect is kinda fucked up and traumatized me into being good, because I wasn’t allowed near my best friend).

In some places there are combo-stores of the big Yum Food brands…KFC, TacoBell, Pizza Hut. Usually just 2.
These are increasingly rare but the off-menu combination of items you can order is insane.
You want a popcorn chicken cheesy gordita crunch?
