Are you suggesting a privatized National Weather Service and toll bridges would be better? If so, I have a nice bear-ridden town in New Hampshire you might like to move to.

Regulations are exactly how you deal with negative externalities.The EPA makes corporations pay for reducing pollution and cleanup. Why do you think corporations target EPA so much? Because EPA costs them money. Never hear any corporations whining about that free taxpayer-funded geological data coming out of USGS

I like clean water, good weather forecasts, and I want to fix the bridges.

Deep cut Expanse reference. Specifically to an episode that had a lot of personal meaning for me.

Yep! Over a billion years old and a major feature on Pangaea.

I knew it was West Virginia.

This is not climate change, y’all. The Appalachians are an eroding mountain range. The town where my sister lives is in a constant battle to keep the roads from falling into the adjacent creek beds. It’s just an absurdly difficult geography to build on.

From a person with a lot of years of experience fighting mold on wood in a humid climate, what you want is borax:

Borax kills mold and also soaks into wood and stays there to prevent future growth. Bleach does not help on porous surfaces like wood:

"Note that bleach should not be used to kill mold found on wood. While bleach is very effective for killing mold on non-porous surfaces, it doesn’t work well when it comes to wood. This is because the chlorine in bleach can’t penetrate wood, so only the water portion of the bleach gets absorbed.

The mold may appear to be removed from the surface, but it’ll likely continue to grow underneath and return within a few months."

Making noise is the only way things actually get done in this world. Asking politely gets you nowhere. Squeaky wheel gets the grease and all that

You’re watching the wrong videos. A lot of his material manufacturing videos tend to have a lot more trial and error. In the more pure chemical extraction or synthesis videos, he’s hyper precise about amounts, timing, temperatures, and safety. In others he’s definitely in “making a funny video fucking around mode.”

He’s always been transparent about the fact that his parents helped him get started, and he’s been financially operating on his own for years. Many of his videos are every bit as rigorous as Applied Science.

Agreed, in my experience Tubi and Pluto both have very reasonable length, good quality ads. I declined to re-up on YouTube TV for NCAA football season this year specifically because I can stand their ads. At that price tier, they honestly expect me to sit through My Pillow ads??

Sheepsquatch is the new jackalope

The onshore tax havens Delaware, Wyoming, and Nevada are vastly worse in scope than any offshore country. They push the narrative about those “terrible foreign countries” to distract us from this fact.

The problem is US tax code, not offshore financial centers.

Reagan kid here, can confirm

Well shit you’re right! I just tend to save things in time order anyway, so I hadn’t noticed. I just deliberately saved something out of time order, and sure enough it sorted itself lower down in my save list. Good to know. My bad

Who works 24 hours in ffp2? More like 12h in a surgical mask unless dealing with a confirmed Covid patient. It’s not that hard.

Boost app is the solution to this problem

I also suffer from excellent quality, terrible tasting tap water. Tastes like Dasani, even filtered. Sparkling water in cans it is, I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Definitely no.

That includes hospitals. Hospital corporations providing the least service for as much as they can get away with charging for it.

Correct. This is the real takeaway here. It’s terrifying that Antarctica is so warm.
