I mean, we have been able to fake photographs convincingly for decades. How is this different?

Your well won't freeze. After a few feet down the ground stays about the same temperature year round. all your pipes in your house could freeze though.

However, often things people THINK are low tech are actually super complicated .

I feel like everyone answered the question correctly: the front doors are designed poorly for winter.

But that just raises another question: why the heck is there hundreds of years of building front doors wrong? Why not just make a front door coat room part of the plan?

woopie pies are the best if you use a different recipe for the frosting and for the cake, and don't make woopie pies at all.

It's not like they were eating fine lobsters in prisons.

You know how you go in the supermarket and literally every food is like, dead and cut up and in a package? Vegetable, meat, fish, bread, whatever? Then there is just this one weird tank of living lobsters you buy?

Supermarkets don't just run an aquarium because it's fun or something, they spend the money to do it because lobster rots basically instantly when it dies. Within an hour it goes rancid. You have to buy it live and kill it right before eating. Usually minutes.

Prisoner weren't getting carefully preserved lobsters carefully hand delivered from the sea in climate controlled tanks, prisoners were fed garbage soup that smelled like an asshole from lobstermeat that quickly liquifies into putrid bacterial mush.

The 'craze' was just bitcoin people lying about a use case to make you buy their thing.

Okay? and? It seems like you think you are saying something but you aren't actually. Who cares if they make big profits off a big or small margin? Why should they get a bail out for their margins going down if their profit doesn't even go down?

Yeah, but the guy it's about got it too, probably.

The sad thing is someone that got that ALSO does actually have lung cancer, probably and will soon get another text saying "actually, also, you did have lung cancer"

I mean, if you had a fusion generator that magically created one star's worth of energy on your desk you couldn't use it like that, since all the energy it made would eventually have to turn to heat (like, you might make pure electricity and not put out any heat, but if you used that electricity it would net out to the exact same temperature as the star would have been) . spreading out in a big circle around a star is the only way that makes sense to use that electricity.

There has been like, maybe 10 generations out of the last 200,000 years that any significant percent of humans were adding or subtracting.

Less than that people were using day planners or clocks. None of the stuff going away existed for more than a few seconds in evolutionary terms.

I doubt even 1% of humans who have ever lived could do a long division.

I think the important part of the story is both white and black students left the ceremony but the white students were allowed to leave and ONLY the black students were made to move to the back of the bus. The white kids who did the same behavior were not punished in any way.

I think people are going to skip reading the article and do some "what's the big deal, can black people NEVER sit at the back of the bus now? snowflakes are too sensitive" but it's specifically that the chaperone singled out only black kids from a group and only punished them. In a way that happened to also mirror history. The fact it was a racially charged punishment is more a cherry on top, with the "white kids can leave, we will only punish the black ones" being the primary outrage.

You absolutely have not paid enough in gas tax to make your specific road profitable, I call bullshit.

should we also close all the roads that don't turn a profit? Or is it only trains that need to do this? Does the road YOU live on 'turn a profit"?

I think most maine libraries don't share access in the building but many/most share books and can order books from other libraries.

that IS what currywurst is.

I mean, the drug problem in maine is immense, but like, it's middle aged unemployed paper mill people slowly dying of prescription opioid addiction in terrifying numbers at their house, Not breaking bad or gun battles in the street from drug lords.

I feel like there is a big genre of complaining that is "I saw guy do X then get in Y car" and I never understand what the set up is that you are following people to their cars.

In podcasts sometimes you see the host always saying a long word before a new segment before the music plays.

Like someone going eeeeemmaaaaail then an email song playing. That is the budget version of a clapper board, it's easy to find it in a visual look at the audio and splice in the song in a lazy quick way

is that all? I feel like any plane crash would be at 310mph at least

With only two lanes the correct lane ends up dealing with entering and exiting traffic, then the passing lane is just straight driving forever. So people just kinda get out of the way and hang out

I mean, sure, do that. But is there ANY actual real world cases of people getting disease from clothing? It feels like they could be abstractly yucky that some guy touched them but is there actually any actual demonstrable risk that isn't 1 in a million?
