It’s a lot easier to get sober if you have housing and basic needs covered.

Hank Green made a video on this. As long as we extract fossil fuels at current rates, raw materials for new plastic just comes out as a byproduct. This would be true even without subsidies, unless the lack of subsidies made gas so expensive that people switched to other sources of energy.

They lost them to Axon, which at least currently do not aggregate the data between districts. So still bad, but less bad

Second biggest beef producer (just a hair behind Brazil), but only fourth biggest exporter. Both of which are natural consequences of just being a large landmass.

Most US produced beef is banned in countries with actual food standards due to the use of artificial growth hormones.

Yeah, this is what a pressure reducing valve is for. Basically essential these days, because now things are made to spec, and they’re not adding an extra gram of material to handle your 120 psi water main.

Fun fact: She wrote Jolene and I Will Always Love You on the same day.

We’d get a new flavor of damage. Peter Thiel flavor, to be exact.

If paying with cash inside before pumping, yes. Then you basically guess how much you need and pay that.

With a card, you “pay” with the card first, but it doesn’t charge the money until after you finished pumping and it knows what to charge.

Not everything can be reversed easily. A bunch of ongoing research was destroyed, for example. The consequences of that stunt will be felt for decades.

He’ll probably maintain his position, which is that they should keep disappearing everyone else, just not him.

And I’m saying the code is there independently of doorless showers. The code was like that before doorless showers became common.

In fact, if your shower has a door and the only drain is inside the shower, you are required to leave a gap under the door to allow water to flow into the shower.

It’s still code if your shower has a door. It’s not unusual to stick your washing machine in the bathroom, and even if you don’t, the toilet could always overflow.

North America is really the only place I know of where bathrooms are not required to be waterproofed throughout.

I haven’t checked the code in every country, but I do know it’s code in Norway, and you see a lot of the same building techniques in the rest of northern Europe.

Why do you think it is not code?

That’s still worse than just having a door. The squeegee helps, but it’s not perfect, and I hate stepping on wet/damp floor after drying my feet. I mostly see that style in hotels or bathrooms which are too tiny to fit a proper shower. Whenever not space constrained, I’m pretty sure they’re just there to save money.

Building code in most if not all of northern Europe require bathrooms to be a proper wet room, meaning waterproofing and a drain for all parts of the bathroom. This means either having two drains, or to allow water to flow from the rest of the bathroom to the shower. Guess which alternative is easier and cheaper to do?

They exist with a round dial as well. Personally I don’t measure my tire pressure, ever. My car will tell me if one is low, and I’d go to a gas station to fill them to spec. Although lately I got a little compressor which goes in the cigarette lighter, which just lets you enter the desired pressure. I use that for the car, bikes, footballs and whatever else needs to be pumped to a given pressure.

I’m always a little sceptical of correlations like this. What if choosing to get vaccinated just correlates with other lifestyle choices which help against dementia?

Made no difference, she was in it for the library anyway.

Pretty sure you can sort by activity. Also, most stuff on here was on a different platform first.

Where “bad teacher” is “teacher who taught the kids critical thinking and science so they started asking uncomfortable questions”.
