The whole premise of this ship’s voyage was for people to leave the US for duration of Trump’s presidency, so it’s basically a ship full of people who fucking hate him.

Those decimals enrage me.

Outside of TV shows, people don’t congregate right around the grill the whole time. Also, the heat of the grill stays outside. When it’s hot out, using the oven or the stove inside heats the house up quite a lot, and it’s really hard to cool it back down in the evening, so when it’s hot is when we’re most likely to grill.

Yeah, the standard white bag. We produce probably a bit less than normal blue bag of recycling a week. But basically all our food scraps go into either our own compost or the city compost, so we fill up a lot of compost bags. We also flatten our cardboard and tie it in a stack, so that cuts down on the volume a lot.

Uhhh, 1-2 months?!? It’s just two of us in our household, but we usually don’t fill one 45L kitchen trash bag every two weeks by the time trash pickup comes. So probably 15lbs every two weeks? So about 60lbs every two months. It would be unfathomable to produce 1000lbs in two months.

I haven’t slept for 10 days.

Because that would be too long.

I spread a bunch of clover seed around my yard, and where the grass was struggling (I don’t water or fertilize at all) the clover took over, and where the grass was doing ok naturally the clover sort of let the grass have that space mostly. Now the whole yard looks nice, and the clover is just fucking loaded with bees all day. It’s great. My dog just lies in the lush clover and watches the bees buzz around.

He is probably not literate enough to know how to spell bored vs board.

Unfortunately they came to a deal a couple years ago and established an agreed upon border, which is sad.

In addition, with our current grid (and many of the things that run on it), frequency is incredibly important. Having giant, heavy, spinny things with lots of inertia does wonders for naturally maintaining a very constant grid frequency as loads fluctuate.

While I fully agree this doesn’t solve any affordability concerns, for those with no affordability concerns that $200/month is better served in a portfolio, which will inevitably have a higher return than a secured interest rate. This does help, but it only helps people with no issues with affording a home in the first place, and can use the system to make further gains (albeit fairly minor).

Most of the airports that private jets fly in and out of do have a tower. Also, there’s a lot of ground holds recently due to en route controller shortages which limits how much traffic can be in the air, which of course affects private jets as well.
