I can. Don’t mean the tip is at the top, though.

The fed subsidizes the shit out of our fuel because the car industry is lobbying it to because the car industry knows that if Americans pay what the rest of the modern world does for gas, then chugga chugga choo choo motherfuckers, we’re finally building some goddamned trains.

That, or they won’t get to sell their huge, overly marked up trucks to middle class suburbanites anymore.

Either of those things would be good for everyone.

I’d also support regulation that bans modifying the ride height of a vehicle. All bumpers should align as a factory spec. We made 70s cars ugly because they required 5 mph bumpers, but we won’t tell Cletus he can’t make his truck bumper sit at neck level so that he doesn’t wipe out a family of four in a Toyota Corolla when he blows through a red light? Horseshit.

While I agree, most people know tera- at this point. Most people probably do not know zetta- yet.

Myanmar and Liberia.

Liberia exists because of Americans who didn’t love the idea of freed former slaves in northern states having the right to vote (or rights in general). So they shipped these former slaves back to Africa so they could have their own country. Liberia is the second oldest black republic (Haiti came first). They just kinda kept using US customary units once they got there.

No idea why Myanmar uses US units.

I see your pfp. I just came home from a road trip to Galveston, and I think I’ve had my fill of Buc-ees for a while. The brisket sandwiches and jerky are worth it, though.

F=1.8C+32 but for anyone else too lazy to do the math since the Americans are awake:

I did the math:

Room temperature is often defined as 68 degrees Fahrenheit (although I remember it being 73.4 in some old textbooks).

68+29.9 is 97.9 which is the normal temperature of a human body.

68+33.5 is 101.5 which is above normal temperature, i.e. fever.

AFAIK ~107.6 degrees is lethal.

I’d say more than half the crappy situations I end up in are both outside of and beyond my control. Sometimes, you just have to ride the suck train until things improve. Therapy is a powerful tool, but it has its limits, and it’s important to know when and how it can be helpful.

Whoa little buddy. Red flags going up. Something’s telling me we should walk through it, not over it.

I honestly hate the vast majority of Christmas music. And I’ve never worked retail. God I feel awful for anyone who has to work that sector between November and January.

Last Christmas gets a pass though. I kinda love Wham

My in-laws live on a private road. They’re the fourth lot down from the main road (for the uninitiated, if your property would block access to another property, then there exists an access easement across your property, and you must allow people - principally the owners - to traverse your property so they can get to theirs). Everyone is responsible for (but not obligated to) maintaining the stretch of road in front of their houses. The first couple houses are owned by folks with a good chunk of change and the road is as nice as it gets. The third house down has never done a thing to their stretch of road and it’s a piece of shit for that little bit. You’re cranking the steering wheel from lock to lock to lock again to avoid holes 6 inches deep. Their house is in a sorry state so there’s not a chance in the world they have the money to fix the road up. My in-laws throw some gravel in the holes from time to time to make things a little easier on themselves.

The municipality can’t/won’t do a thing. They don’t own the road and it’s not like the neighbors are blocking people in or out. The road is only nigh (not completely) impassable.

Once again pointing out that Trump never won the popular vote. Yes, we need to abolish the Electoral College. It favors the right wing unjustly and undermines the will of the people when it does not align with the popular vote.

Lots of people voted for him, yes. I’ll make the argument that things will actually get better as the folks whose cognitive abilities are negatively impacted by a century of burning leaded gasoline start to die off. I believe it’s something like >95% of people born between 1945 and 1965 that have enough lead in their bodies to be cause for concern.Can’t remember exactly where I read this, but you can do your own Google-Fu.

Striking those last couple sentences and just outright saying that over 90% of the entire population born between 1956 and 1976 were exposed to enough lead to raise medical concern in early childhood, according to the table below.

I’m also back to throw in the table/material I’m referencing. If I’m going to make assertions, I should back them up.

https://i.imgur.com/7V5Q0QE.png

And the source: Half of US population exposed to adverse lead levels in early childhood

If you want some idea of how little we cared about lead exposure, just look up the Tar Creek Superfund Site., which turned three nearby populated areas into ghost towns. It’s been reported that children would play on the enormous mounds around Picher, Oklahoma, and those things were covered in lead dust.

And try not to live downwind of small airports.

I walk and talk like a field hand, but the boots I’m wearing cost three grand.

I write songs about riding tractors from the comfort of a private jet

I wanted to watch the original run of Fullmetal Alchemist again. It basically doesn’t exist anymore.

Lots of people say Brotherhood is better. I get it. But it’s just not the same to me

I can see how I insinuated that taco bell is Mexican food, but I don’t actually think taco bell is Mexican food. Far from it. But it’s been memed for like 15+ years that taco bell gives you life-altering shits.

I seriously remember seeing this in high school as early as '07, but I’m sure it was probably going around before then.

I live in the OKC metro and if you’re looking for real Mexican food here, you’re pretty spoiled for choice. I won’t suggest we have the drop on Mexican food, but you can find some really great places here without having to look hard. Taco Bell is great because the food actually tastes pretty good and there are like four within a five minute drive of my house.
