If markets were rational, I wouldn't be a socialist.
Rodents require a level of energy that I'm sure most furries feel unable to commit to.
Human experience includes traveling to the moon, so 108 not 107. Order of magnitude difference, literally unplayable.
The thing to keep in mind when you compare the saga of turn of the century milk production between Europe and the US/Canada is the immigrant population. There just wasn't a market for milk in the urban setting in Europe because everyone knew it was deadly since the Roman times.
Compare that to New York, where they had a large influx of immigrants from small farming communities where children would often drink milk when young and they would buy milk that was sold out of unrefrigerated wagons coming from cows kept in confined spaces within the city. It was murderous, with tens of thousands of children's deaths in New York City alone. Of course this was the age of Cholera so the lives of people in cities came cheap.
The plain truth was adding formalin, which has no safe dose itself, was safer than drinking that shit the way they were selling it. North American cities quickly banned unpasteurized milk once the causal relationship was proven (despite the milkmen complaining).
Made outta porcelain (with ceramics at the time being essentially as magical as plastics 75 years later) and with total equality between the sexes.
King Gillette was woke as fuck.

Diminutive is what it is. Historically for Alonzo.
I use oil, not nonstick cookware but I don't begrudge anyone for using it. Some folks hate dirty dishes.
If it's a nonstick pan, they likely wanted to preserve the coating. Thus cutting it on the cutting board instead of ruining the pan with knives.
I've never done that, but it sounds smart to me.
Too little, too late. You'd need something with much more teeth to it to get back to Doctor run healthcare.
Now you're going to charge them for lemonade too?!? Does your greed know no bounds?
And the terrain that train is passing? Also a hat. The skybox the terrain is floating in? You guessed it. It's hats all the way down.
The guy literally explained he was using sales idioms and you are taking it like someone is actually trying to lock prospective clients in. If he told you they decided to get off the pot instead of walk out the door would you assume he's a voyeur watching them poop?
That’s why we’re never going to have full implementation if the only mechanism for enforcement is disabled people suing."
Great, now that labour is in they can implement an enforcement arm. Oh wait, it's starmer.
Listen brother, I eat meat but if you go into a vegan post and get into an argument about veganism, you're not being trolled, you're the troll.
Thunk. And more red lights come up on the windshield: the perimeter security of the Deliverator's vehicle has been breached.
No. It can't be. Someone is shadowing him. Right off his left flank. A person on a skateboard rolling down the highway right behind him. The Deliverator, in his distracted state, has allowed himself to get pooned. As in harpooned. There's a big round padded electromagnet, on the end of an arachnofiber cable. It has just thunked on the back of the Deliverator's car and stuck. Ten feet behind him, the owner of this cursed device is surfing, taking him for a ride. Skateboarding along like a water-skier behind a boat.
In the rearview, flashes of orange and blue. The parasite is not just a punk out having a good time. It is a businessman making money. The orange and blue coverall, bulging all over with sintered armorgel padding, is the uniform of a Kourier. A Kourier from RadiKS, Radikal Kourier Systems. Like a bicycle messenger, but a hundred times more irritating because they don't pedal under their own power - they just latch on and slow you down.
No need to get rattled. The Kourier will have to unpoon or else be slammed sideways into the slower vehicle.
Done. The Kourier isn't ten feet behind him anymore - he is right there, peering in the rear window. Anticipating the maneuver, the Kourier reeled in his cord, which is attached to a handle with a power reel in it, and is now right on top of the pizza mobile...
An orange-and-blue-gloved hand reaches forward, a transparent sheet of plastic draped over it, and slaps his driver's side window. The Deliverator has just been stickered. The sticker is a foot across and reads, in big orange block letters, printed backward so that he can read it from the inside:
THAT WAS STALE
Center-left in US sees a lesson in British election results
>A center-left group in the U.S. sees a valuable lesson in the landslide victory of Britain’s Labour Party after nearly 15 years in the political wilderness.
>The centrist Democrat think tank Third Way argues in a memo obtained Friday by POLITICO that Labour’s sweeping win shows that “centrism wins elections” and can undercut right-wing populism by appealing to the broadest segment of the population with a credible platform.
TIL sailing ships commonly moved around without wind by warping
Warping is throwing an anchor either manually for a small ship or by rowing the anchor out and dropping it farther away for a larger ship. Then the ship would reel it to change position. Good for maneuvering in harbor. Etymologically related to "throwing" and essentially threading a needle across the sea.
Warp factor get you asses in the rowboat. Engage.
Modi loses ground in parliament, but his Hindu nationalist policies are here to stay
For the first time since Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party swept to power in 2014, the party did not secure a majority on its own in 2024 national election. But the prime minister’s coalition is still expected to run the country for another five years.
Modi’s allies generally support pro-Hindu legislation, but making new policies could be complicated by coalition politics and a slimmer majority.
Despite a setback, many of the Hindu nationalist policies he’s instituted over the last 10 years remain locked in place
When TikTok mobilized its users to lobby Congress, it backfired spectacularly.
Interesting to note here: getting preteens to confusedly call Congress with threats of self harm and questions like "what is Congress" with a push notification is not the best plan

President Biden told a Democratic lawmaker and members of his Cabinet after the State of the Union address that he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that they will need to have a “come-to-Jesus meeting.”
Biden’s comments, captured on a hot mic as he spoke with Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) on the floor of the House chamber, came after Bennet congratulated the commander in chief on his speech and pressed him to keep pressure on Netanyahu over increasing humanitarian issues in Gaza.
