The tires start out hard, then get soft and greasy before they get cooked. The Ferrari f1 team is drooling though.

I wish I could grow zucchini/squash. Iirc, there is some endemic soil fungus in the Texas/Gulf Coast are that kills them. That and snails/slugs… I have never gotten anything except flor de calabaza and then the plant dies.
- Comment on Don't text me when i'm alkylating shit 1 week ago:
The alkalation unit in chemical plants and refineries is the place where the most human melting could occur in an emergency. Scary as hell. Basically you have to wear a moon suit if you even look at the border between that unit and the rest of the plant.

Ford in the 00s used 7mm head bolts on their coil packs iirc, right next to sae fasteners… I will never understand that.

Anthony (Ghandi/the brother) has a D&D podcast called Dungeons and Daddies (not a bdsm podcast) that is also excellent.
- Comment on Quidk! I need a chili recipe. What would you add to a pound of hamburger, diced jalapenos, chili powder and bloody mary mix? 5 weeks ago:
Careful, thats region dependent. You’re likely to get attacked if you add beans to chili in some parts.
- Comment on What else can we do with sugar (sucrose)? 5 weeks ago:
Iirc, that is one of the major ways that Brazil produces bio-ethanol, a lot of it was from the waste products too. It’s been a while but I think the energy density vs ag production cost is also higher vs corn. You can then used the remnants from that for biomass pellet production for essentially full cycle use. You get the sugar, ethanol, then either fertilizer/biochar or biomass pellets for energry production.
- Comment on What do you recommend I carry in my first wallet? 1 month ago:
Make sure you get a good one with multiple fold out compartments too, maximum leather. Bonus if it’s ostrich skin or crock skin to really bulk up the wallet.

- Comment on Kids would encourage parents to get gas here so they could see the dinosaurs 2 months ago:
It also doesn’t really matter, those gas stations still exist in Colorado and they still have the big fiberglass dinosaurs hanging out. That picture could have been taken recently and still been roughly the same.

- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 2 months ago:
The containerized strikes Ukraine has done from inside russia have been particularly scary. They basically setup manufacturing cells in country, built the drones, drove to the launch sites, and launched with no one noticing. The U.S. has minimal counters to those types of attacks assuming you don’t catch them in advance. There have been reports for years about drones entering sensitive restricted airspace and just kind of flying around until the operators decide to leave.
When you start getting into ballistic missile defence and the larger one way drones, you realize that a proper coastal defence or even hvt defence on the homefront is woefully inadequate. I won’t say we need to spend more on that stuff because to do it properly would be in the high trillions. I will say we should be able to develop and field that tech in reasonable numbers given our current military spending. Buuuuuuuut, the best way to avoid needing that is to not be a country that everyone hates…
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 2 months ago:
The U.S. military really needs a wakeup call about drones but I think when that happens, its gonna be real bad news for wherever it came from or the scapegoat for it. To be clear, even in light of this, I don’t want to see people killed, on either side of this but the preparation that the U.S. military has for a drone war is woefully inadequate.
Look at the action taken against Iran, that’s a biiiiiiig deal too. Short of a nuke, there isn’t a much more exotic strike package than what was used against them.

- Comment on How often do you change your towels? 2 months ago:
I loathe newly purchased towels, they always feel like they don’t dry well for a while. I typically wash/swap every 4 or so days. We also “strip” our towells with a deep clean like every couple months.

- Comment on why is fossil fuel still used? 3 months ago:
Yeah, I was mostly addressing the immediate reason. The historical ones are way more complex as you mentioned. Now, you have to overcome suburban sprawl and hostile urban development where everything is spread out, requiring a car to use as a direct result of our past shitty choices/lobbying efforts.
- Comment on why is fossil fuel still used? 3 months ago:
Switching to something new usually inherently costs money. (Capital expense) If you are scraping by, you can’t afford another $500-$1000 a month car payment for a new car.
The option to convert an older already paid for internal combustion vehicle basically requires another $10k minimum, not including any regulatory stuff and that would be parts cost alone, no labor. Add to that regulatory/local registration issues with the diy route and you basically bake continued demand for fossil fuels into the system.
You can mitigate some of that by doing public transportation but you have to have a functional system AND an public that wants to use it.
This basically means that a large portion of the population who won’t/can’t buy new EVs. Is stuck using gas vehicles until you get lower cost used EVs. The problem there is that they are expensive to repair and NOT diy friendly. Add to that battery deg and lower reliability (in general see used teslas) and people are scared to buy used EVs.
Its a pricing problem that we have not gotten around yet. The subsidies helped but weren’t enough to get more people in. Couple that with a bad economic situation where people are holding onto their older stuff for longer and you basically get only progress on the higher income side while lower income brackets have to still use their gas vehicles which means the producers keep producing and supplying to a captive market.

Yeah, you aren’t really supposed to layer packages they want to use something like distrobox or similar. I know some things basically have to be (I am fighting with openjdk) but that is where 99% of my issues on bazzite came from. I started just spinning up a vm to run all my random bullshit that required layering in and its been solid ever since.
