My vet told me some dogs ate sensitive to grapes and some dogs can have as much as they want without harm and you only find out which way it is for your dog by watching them die of kidney failure
Yes, those count as technical skills and there are many, many people for whom it’s too big a hurdle.
picking out a decent micro PC that actually works is hard.
Getting a pc install (presumably windows) configured in a way that will display in the TV legibly from the couch is hard.
Requiring a keyboard and mouse to use your TV from the couch is weird and off-putting. Most people won’t want to and some people will have difficulty understanding what they’re supposed to do with these objects
The technical competence bar for getting a TV plugged in and working is just ridiculously, ridiculously low, and that’s for a reason
It does not — dumb people have the same access to the better drugs as smart people.
A eugenics-driven society where dumb people are left to die and smart people get extra health care likely would be effective at breeding children who are better at passing the “smart people” test, but I would not like to live in a society like that.
If you’re about to argue that having enough money to pay for health care correlates with intelligence… I would welcome some evidence. I used to think that was obvious but, having grown up and experienced the world some, the only thing I see that correlates with intelligence is depression.
Normal residential oven vent hoods do not remotely get all the cooking exhaust. I’m not sure they get any meaningful quantity of cooking exhaust.
Try an experiment that I’ve done at least once in several different houses over the years: turn on your hood vent fan, then leave your food on the stove and accidentally burn the everloving shit out of it.
Is your house full of smoke and fire alarms going off? Then your range hood is not protecting you from combustion products coming off the range
Motherfucker I am still humming a jingle sometimes for a tooth powder ad for a company that went out of business before I was born, because my mother used to randomly sing it around the house when I was small.
That shit is pernicious.
Congratulations on your finely-developed ability to filter which of your perceptions advance to memory but I will pick up and remember just any random thing and it sticks
Yes. Chinese manufacturers are using sodium batteries in some low-range cheap city-cars, too. But fundamentally there is less energy storage in a charged sodium atom than a charged lithium atom so it seems sodium batteries must always be bigger and heavier than equivalent-capacity lithium batteries.
