My favorite OS is mint because I don’t care about my OS beyond it running the programs I want it to run and it staying out of my way. Similarly my favorite car make is whatever I can buy used for the cheapest and my favorite body wash is the stuff I steal from hotels.

There is literal food grade mineral oil for this exact purpose along with lubricating food making equipment. It’s basically completely inert and is sometimes even used as a food ingredient. You can straight up drink a jug of the stuff with no health repercussions other than the violent greasy shits you would get from drinking any oil. Just because it’s a petroleum product doesn’t automatically mean its bad for you.

Did you skip the part about wearing a heart monitor for a week? That isn’t something I did on my own, that was after I talked to my doc.

Just use an ad blocker.

It’s really easy to tell if a tourist is american. Just get caught while trying to pickpocket them.

You’re making me glad I’m single. Home is where the nekid is. Anything else is criminal. If I’m wearing pants at home it’s either because I’m waiting on a delivery or cooking bacon.

That still requires a turbine to turn the steam into electricity. If turbines are the shortage then nuclear doesn’t solve the shortage.

The doors still stay locked when you stop. At least for mine the doors don’t unlock again until you put it park. They just lock when you start moving because the vehicle moving is a good indication that you don’t need the doors unlocked anymore.

The only way to install unverified apps will be via developer mode and if you turn that on a bunch of apps refuse to run until you turn it back off.

Wait, when did this become a thing? I’ve had developer mode turned on on my phone for ages without any issues.

If microbes are the concern then A UV system is going to be a whole lot cheaper in the long run. The UV bulbs in those are usually rated for 1 year of continuous use and if you only run it when there is a boil warning then it’ll last much longer than that. It looks like one of those will run you right about $100 which pays for itself pretty quick when compared to the cost of the more expensive filters.

They just want to bring back porno mags because the old gezers keep getting viruses trying to find it on line.

Eh, my water is already filled with PFAs anyways. What’s a little more cancer on the pile.

Just an FYI, that graph is entirely unreadable in dark mode. I’m not sure why they chose to make a graph of all things have a transparent background.

At least in my area, propane is the goto if you have no city gas hookup. If you want to go oldschool then you have a fuel oil furnace. Keeping enough wood on hand to heat a house over the winter just isn’t practical for most. Even just heating his wood shop just while he is using it my dad can burn through 3 full cords of wood every winter. My grandpa used to heat his trailer house with wood and he often went through 4-5 full cords in the winter.

I 100% agree that wood is cozy but it’s way easier to just keep a tank of propane or fuel oil on hand.

Woodstoves are nice as an option but I’ll just take backup power any day. Gas pressure is normally still fine for a long time durring most outages and it takes very little power to just run the blower fan on a gas furnace. I’ve run mine off my vans inverter using an extension cord and some farmer grade wiring practices at one point with no issue. Plus I can also power other things with backup power. If it’s an extended outage then most gas furnaces can easily be converted to run on propane and swapping out tanks is much easier than dealing with fueling a woodstove.

It’s only regularly spoken by a minority but most can and will break it out on ocassion. It’s always fun to do on vacation.

Well, I live on the Minnesota side of the Minnesota / Wisconsin border and normally I can tell I crossed the border because I have to cross the 4th largest river in the world, the Mississippi river.

Joking aside a big tell used to be frac sand mines. Minnesota cracked down on them much harder much more quickly than Wisconsin so you would see them all over the place in Wisconsin but not in MN. I haven’t seen as many of those lately though. Also If I drive too far south I wind up driving out of the Kwik Trip gas station zone and into the vastly inferior Caseys gas station zone in Iowa.

Through the almighty power of amphetamines I no longer require quaint human things like food. Also does anyone know why I feel dizy and shakey?

Joking aside, before I was medicated the only things I found that worked to prevent snacking were strict keto or strict intermittent fasting. The keto worked much better but it’s miserable and hard to keep up for the first few weeks before your body kicks into ketosis. Once I was in ketosis though it was a breeze.

Outside of those something that helped was just keeping healthy snacks around. I’d still snack all the time but I would just wind up eating a ton of of grapes or dried fruit instead of a whole bag of chips. I still have several bags of dried fruits in my cubbord and a bag in my van.

What they don’t want you to know is that muslims become immortal while in the US military.
