Water is insanely powerful. As others have said, it could help you get tired swimming. It will not save you if you get pinned, or trapped in hydraulics, like the deadly ones at the bottom of weirs (those low dams, extremely dangerous. You get maytagged until you drown)

The best thing is to not live in flood plains or ecologically risky areas if you can. Research flood maps before moving somewhere. Extreme weather events will become more and more common as the planet deteriorates, unless we dramatically change our emissions, which is not a priority, apparently.

I want a watch that isn't a pain in the ass to set alarms, timers, timezones, etc. I also want 24H time and many days of battery life.

That's why I'm getting it. It will be nice for cooking and work, haha.

You can get an ioniq 5 2025 with 318 2wd or 290 AWD. But they are more expensive due to Trump's tariffs and rebates that he clawed back.

It should be. Once it's out.

This is one thing that I really hope GMOs allow us to counter. We need chestnut trees back. Natural and farmed ones. Perhaps we will find a gene for blight resistance someday.

You can use it, and can't really lose it, but it costs a lot of money to operate. (The carriers are about 3.5 burj khalifas long. They are huge)

I think it's people projecting. Then they make a whole charade out of it, and it gives them free access to the most vulnerable people without safeguards. I'll never truly understand it.

This is in the "no shit" category for me. Switching to 1950s era tech gives you 1950s-era results. Switching to methane was the wrong idea. You have to go to nuclear* if you're in a renewables-starved area, where the sun doesn't shine, the wind doesn't blow, and everything is too flat and dry for hydro (or geothermal).

*Even then, you have waste to energy as an option, provided you have the right filters. We have staggering amounts of garbage.

Great. The new CEO is a clown who has no idea what he's doing. When can we get Pat Gelsinger back?

Honestly, I've had better luck just getting higher quality tea and cutting sugar from morning beverages entirely. (I don't drink coffee, but low quality teas tend to become bitter, which required sugar. Higher quality teas never become bitter)

These days, I'm cutting sugar across the board. Shredded wheat with frozen raspberries tastes better than honey bunches of oats anyways. And the sugar I'm eating is pretty much just for fun, like pie or ice cream. No reason to accidentally ingest 28g of sugar in a breakfast bar that doesn't even taste that good.

Yes, I've dated some. And not having to be assertive 100% of the time is the best, even outside of sex. Relationships should be a balanced thing, where both people take turns doing things. It's very refreshing, but doesn't seem to happen very often.

The hero we need. Every apartment complex has a handful of squeaky doors.

 

At 100, the airship is still in demand.

 

Sometimes I get sick of brambles on the local bike lane I use a ton, and take a pair of battery electric trimmers to cut back grasses and brambles that grow over the lanes. But I'm curious if cities have actual programs with access to better tools. Working on bike lanes is super satisfying, but I'd love to do it with a group.

 

Having conquered its home market, the Japanese toilet-maker Toto is selling more bidets in the United States. Toto’s president says not even tariffs will halt its advance.

A clean ass is inevitable :3

 

How did they do? Do they need root tabs? Are they fine without ever touching saltwater? Any bright light requirements?

 

A lot of stuff on commercial television came from PBS.

The first financial news show came from PBS. Cooking was really Julia Child. Even reality shows, believe it or not, came from PBS, with “American Family” in the early ’70s.

Part of what PBS does should be seen as an incubator for new stuff and new ideas.
