  • A $5 Million Donation From Big Tobacco Preceded F.D.A. Flavored Vape Decision

    Jump

  • What's the point of being stupid-rich if you're still beholden to any asshole that can raise a million dollars in donations?

    How is it that his supporters see him as anything other than weak, craven, a broken man, driven by a gaping maw of need where other people have some kind of self-respect?

  • What is the best email server you use?

    Jump

  • +1 for Fastmail. I have the cheapest plan and I don't use most of the add-ons. I use Thunderbird on desktop, I use Fastmail's Android app on mobile. Virtually perfect service for years, very cheap, is not Gmail. That's about all I ever wanted.

  • The Economic Experiment That Upended Reality | Minimum-wage increases were expected to kill jobs. The fact that they didn’t should make us rethink a lot of assumptions.

    Jump

  • Some people quip that economics is called "the dismal science" because economists are just so bad at it.

  • Ugh look I'm not taking the microwave down just to weigh it

  • Is there a good substitute for cheeze whiz when making grilled cheese sandwiches at home?

    Jump

  • Everything I've seen online corresponds with Fondots' explanation. I found this FDA regulation that (if I'm reading/skimming it right) pretty much stipulates that "American Cheese" is a "pasteurized process" cheese, which means (among other things) it includes emulsifiers. It also points out that "American Cheese" is made by processing other cheeses, which may include Swiss, but Swiss is just one of many options.

  • This is at least a tiny bit like asking "I'm cooking a turkey for Thanksgiving; how long do I set the microwave for?"

    An 81-Year-Old Grandma Streaming Minecraft To Pay For Grandson’s Cancer Treatment Has Been Swatted

    Jump

  • It would be interesting to learn what fraction of SWAT (and SWAT-like) responses are to legitimate emergencies where their presence is both warranted and helpful.

  • What's up with the strange "RJ II" scrawl on the source painting?

    Maybe I'm taking things way too seriously for c/memes, but this painting is so, uh ... racy? It got me curious. It's called "The Reading," by an Italian painter named Vittorio Reggianini, who was far more modern than I had expected (1858-1939). Those clothing styles are (I think) from before his own time; he was painting the flirtations of rich youngsters from a century before his day. Historical fiction, really.

  • I showed this to my wife and now she's leaving me for Taika Waititi.

  • Even my own code sometimes.

    Jump

  • I go back and look at my old code and find it clear and beautiful, easy to understand, a pleasure to read. "Ah yes," I'll say to myself, "that approach was clever and elegant. Gosh, past me was pretty smart!"

    I like to appreciate it in this manner. Because that way, for a moment at least, I can forget about how it doesn't actually work.

  • Trump Blurts Stunning Gas Price Rant Amid Sinking Polls: ‘This is Peanuts!’

    Jump

  • I tried putting some figures ($85K Ram 3500, diesel, financed) into truecosttodrive.com and got a cost/mile of $0.95.

    Point being: Cutting the price of fuel by a third (getting back to where it had been in 2025, say) isn't going to turn that into an economy ride. Even at $6 / gallon, most of the cost is depreciation, insurance, and maintenance. Driving is absurdly expensive and I believe we only put up with it because so much of the cost is hidden or easy to overlook.

    Congress Wants You To Pay $130 A Year Just To Drive An Electric Car

  • I wasn't trying to say "Therefore it's all OK," so much as "none of this makes any sense, none of this has ever been fair."

    Even non-drivers wind up paying taxes for roads.

    Congress Wants You To Pay $130 A Year Just To Drive An Electric Car

    Jump

  • Roughly half of the money that gets spent on US roads comes from sales taxes, property taxes, income taxes, etc., and none of that bears any relation to how much driving you (we) do.

  • When do you think middle class people will be able to go to mars?

    Jump

  • I read A City On Mars and came away convinced that questions like this one are pretty silly.

    Show us a Las Vegas that thrives on its recycled water alone. Show us an airtight building, made of materials that can be recycled into new building parts. Show us a self-contained arcology in Antarctica that's so appealing, ordinary families dream of moving there to raise their kids.

    Then we can talk about Mars.
