It's a brilliant way to grift money out of governments and dumb folks.

"There couldn't be a dumber idea than solar roadways."

These chucklefucks: "Hold my beer."

And they usually over-estimate that, so take large numbers promised by a small air purifier with a grain of salt. Look for the CADR figure, and if they don't post that prominently on the packaging there's probably a really good reason why and you should look elsewhere.

The last set I bought were the Better Homes and Gardens ones from Walmart and they've lasted for years with no appreciable wear for me.

When people think of the asteroid belt, they think of that scene from The Empire Strikes Back. It isn't remotely like that at all. The truth of the matter is space is humongous and there's just not a lot in it. The only place where it's really a significant danger is places like Earth orbit where it's crap we've shot up there that represents the biggest risk.

The earliest I can remember it used was in 1990s Moen faucet ads. "Buy it for looks, buy it for life."

Steelcase chairs are fantastic and they make them for really big folks. I think their normal models are rated up to 400 pounds and they've got a larger version than that.

Keep in mind there's a ton of fraud in "big and tall" office furniture. More than once I've found a chair ostensibly rated for like 350-400 pounds that had a base and casters rated for 200.

I have a Sandisk that I use for walks, and I bought it because it's pretty much the only standalone mp3 player that'll play Audible audiobooks. I'm very happy with it.

(I even bought a single-ear earphone for spatial awareness cause I'm weird.)

The way they work is they trick you into spending 53 bucks for pure nonsense.

(And if it actually does create ozone, pure nonsense that will damage your lungs.)

So the FU is more "writing off untreated schizophrenia as radiation exposure."

Try the mental health route again?

The fact that you still think you got gangstalked and irradiated is a pretty clear sign it didn't take.

A visit to a mental health provider should be a pretty high priority.

Because if you decided to tilt the Saturn V at an angle on the launchpad it'd fall over and that would be bad.

A portable CO2 detector isn't a bad thing in the age of COVID. It's nice to know when you're entering a building with absolutely shit ventilation and breathing in a lot of other people's exhalations.

My first car was a POS Ford Taurus hand-me-down; a few months after I got it I noticed it was getting harder and harder to steer. I took it into a mechanic who a friend had recommended; I was mentally preparing myself for being told the repair would be way more than I could justify spending on that old car.

I got the call. "Uh, yeah, there was a screw loose in the power steering system."

"What? Uh, how much is that going to run me?"

"Like nine bucks, I guess?"

When I got divorced and moved back to my hometown, I was actually more broken up about losing that mechanic.
