I shave DE and this is an amazing idea. I currently use a sharps container, but this is so much more fun.

Is it possible though that they can just try harder. Sure, I was raised upper middle class, but I’ve been able to make it just fine. The best lessons that got me ahead were the ones where I had to suck it up and do real grinding work. That’s when I learned the most and got motivated to push my way up. You would assume that they would be forced into the grind, but I guess not. In all honesty, college was a joke and I could have just lied about it and gotten to where I am today. I think that having parents that gave a shit mattered the most. They didn’t even need to do much other than give me some basic morals. The work ethic even came later. In summary, capitalism is not responsible for poor peoe having a gazillion children and then not teaching them to be good people. It’s kind of just on them. If anything, the system should limit their ability to procreate by not providing unlimited aide. They should get punished for having children they can’t afford because that’s neglect.

Is it possible that the poor people can just try harder at capitalism?

People are just lazy. I love vegetating at home, but do make time now for travel and got to the gym early. When I was a kid, I would bike around my neighborhood. I can see that being more problematic now, but that is moreso because of all the criminals from the poor towns ruining our nice things. I know there are solutions for that, but I haven’t seen any, which is unfortunate. I blame poor people for having many children and then expecting the welfare state to pay for and raise them.

Yeah. I don’t want to live there, but if my company wants to tax shelter there and fly me in occasionally for Franklin brisket and La BBQ everything else, that would be perfectly fine. The state will hopefully improve in time.

I don’t like forced in-person work unless it’s just a quarterly on-site where they fly us in and pay for accommodations. I agree that Texas is fucked until they fix their abortion laws, however it is worth mentioning that Austin is a liberal city and does not function the same way as the rest of Texas in many regards. It is becoming a tech hub and would be cool if my company relocated there, as long as they flew me in quarterly and didn’t expect anything more than that. Really great BBQ. They do have a bad homeless problem though.

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?

Even with fission, nuclear is a panacea of energy with almost no waste for modern reactors. I can see there being an initial rise in energy costs to get those projects built out though. If they are phasing out nuclear, that would be dumb.

Additionally, researchers at MIT recently found that you can evaporate water without heat, so that should hopefully be a thing in the near future.

I was about to write back that we are not far off the advances to make these affordable and then did a google search and found that you can get a distilled unit on Amazon for $180 that is capable of making a gallon in 5 hours for about $.45 worth of electricity. That is far less than what it costs to buy distilled water at the store, which is around $1 a gallon. If you look at this from a break-even analysis, you technically start to reap the rewards of ownership after about 800 uses since the first 400 uses basically cost you $1.45 per gallon, then the next 400 costs you $.45 per gallon, but you are recouping that extra cost over the $1 retail price, so by the 800th use, you are getting water at less than half the price of the store.

Not necessarily. It just requires excitation at a molecular level. You can get creative with your source. They have been playing around with low energy methods like LED or even just using the sun, geothermal, etc.

Distill water, then add minerals back into it, and bottle in glass, profit.

What if that tent was firing rockets though.

Shouldn’t we get their side of the story?

I remember this.

Seems like Darwinism to me.

tell in me

LOL

Per the news story. The IDF provided leaflets mapping out safe zones. Hamas should have provided these to it’s people and provided safe passage.

I find this comment to be antisemitic and unhelpful.

One would hope that their chosen government would help find them safe passage.
