  • It's misleading

    This is the first diet coke, not the first inaugural coke.

    So "Company continues its tradition with making a special inaugural coke bottle"

    Them not doing it would be more of a political statement

  • Could be a better term for "Hash Browns"

    Potato + Hash = Potash

    Hash could be anything chopped up. Really should say Potato Hash Browns to be specific.

    Could say Potash Browns or simply Potash

  • How is slavery bad for capitalism?

    Slavery is amazing for capitalism.

    Slavery is cheap labor.

    Capitalism loves cheap labor.

  • Heat pumps are generally easy to install since they're generally one single packaged unit.

    Only hard part about installing a HVAC system is filling the freon lines from the condenser to evaporator.

    Most packaged units come prefilled, and if one single unit then no worries.

    Even if you got everything in place and just had a HVAC contractor to solder and fill lines if you needed a split unit. You could save a ton of money.

    Otherwise any DIYer could install one

  • One big downside to me is that the air never feels hot or cold, just slightly warmer or cooler than current room air.

    Say I'm cold in my living room. Go to thermostat and click it up a degree. Hot furnace air is now swirling around my living room making it feel much warmer. One degree on the heat pump and you might not even notice it.

  • Screws maybe

    But you have to machine a hole in the metal for the screw to function

    You know how hard it would be to drill a hole for a screw in a cave with scrap parts and no power drill?

    All you need to crudely weld, probably as strong as a screw, is heat. Fire is easy in a cave.

    I'd wager they could melt some metal together before devising a cave drill press.

    We have no idea what metal or alloy it is. They could have an alloy that melts easily, but once hard, it adheres to other metals and practically unbreakable. Just find some scraps of that alloy to easily weld.

  • You're building a light saber.

    Do you:

    A. Weld everything

    Or

    B. Drill holes and thread the holes for a bolt

    I'm sure they have some kind of crazy riveting technology. Is she installing screws because she wants to be able to easily take apart her lightsaber if needed?

  • I've snapped so many Robertson bits in my life. Screws are fine.

    1 5/8" cement board screws

    They used to be Robertson. They switched to Torx.

    Night and day difference

    Like you said, they do grip like a mofo, and with an impact driver, the bits snap.

    I tried dozens of different brands of bits. Even paid top dollar for special Milwaukee ones.

    I was at a point where I had to pre-drill and counter sink the screws because I was breaking too many bits.

    I could probably drive a torx head one through a board

  • On a day in California, where the sun rises at 7 am PST, it would be equivalent to making it 3 pm UTC.

    You think people in California are going to be happy waking up at 3 pm, going to work at 5pm-1am, then going to sleep at 7am?

    People are angry that they get an extra hour of sleep one night and lose one another. 2 days out of the year.

    You really think you're going to sell these people on waking up at 3 pm and going to bed at 7am?

    Working hours being 9am-5pm vs 1900-0300 are just numbers.

    Working hours being 9am-5pm PST vs 9am-5pm PDT are just numbers

    DST just tries to shift everyone to a beneficial sun zone for a part of the year.

    Depending where you live and mainly how close you are to a time zone line depends if keeping it, getting rid of it, or keeping the current system is beneficial.

    Maine could be in it's own time zone as far east as it really is. The idea that Michigan is in the same time zone is absurd. Michigan should be in CST. That would drop them back an hour. If you talked to someone in Michigan they probably hate DST. Their DST should be their current standard time and then they should fall back to CST if they wanted to do the DST switch thing. They would get a lot more sunlight in the morning.

  • Sunrised in NY and CA at 7 am today in their respective time

    They are 3 hours apart in time zones.

    So if you wanted everyone to use same clock and for the sun to rise at 7am in NY. That would mean the sun would rise at 4am in CA.

    The sun would set at 1:30pm in CA

    Someone currently working a 9-5pm. It would become a 6-2pm job.

    How is that not going to cause chaos?

  • Having everyone on one time zone would be the best thing ever.

    Have you really thought this through?

    It's 12 pm in New York.

    It's 9 am in California.

    Sun rised at 7 am in NY today

    Sun rised at 7 am in CA today

    It was 10 am in NY when sun rose in CA

    So let's say we get on one clock.

    That means sun rises in California at 4 am

    So now everyone in California has to shift their whole schedule around that.

    7 am sunrise, 9am-5pm work (Sun set begins at 4.5pm)

    Would become 4 am sunrise, 6am-2pm work (Sun set begins at 1:30pm)

    How is that the best thing ever?
