I’m not sure that fitting Earthlike habitats in giant spaceships would make sense without limitless exponential growth. Wouldn’t it be more feasible to put something on the surface of a planet?

No matter how advanced our technology gets, we are not going to get around the basic constraints on energy.

you really can’t make this sort of assumption

That was the original point about gendered language but you seem to have flipped it on its head.

As soon as I realized that it was similar to the Costa Rican flag but with 1 inversion, and switching the vowels of the latter out yielded “Cis”, I had to make the pun.

If it’s an ambiguous name you might have to check. Fortunately, Edie is an unambiguously female name, and the clear majority of binary trans people pick clearly gender-coded names.

What did you think it was… the flag of Cista Roca?

I am tickled by this and fully support your TIL process.

One thing you can say to its credit is that it doesn’t have a 4’ front fender that blocks vision of the road for 30 feet in front of you.

Still hate the truck tho.

In the past 2 decades vinyl ones have become a lot more common. I don’t know if there’s any difference in strength, but being hypoallergenic gives them a broader market.

“If you care about the planet, be sure to cut down on this product that contributes 0.01% of all plastic waste”

You’re thinking of bigotry. White people don’t experience systematically unfavorable outcomes from the perception of their skin color.

The difference between the right word and the almost-right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug.

Bullshit. Democrats are just as hawkish on the border as Republicans, they just pretend they’re not once every 2 years.

We have a shortage of livable housing because we refuse to allow it to be built. There’s plenty of room for people, just not if we mandate that each dwelling is single-family with a 20-foot buffer space between them.

No one’s going to turn the law on a single homeowner for less than $500, don’t be such a lanyard dork.

Especially if it’s a “goodwill contribution” which happens literally everywhere in business and political dealings.

Missed opportunity to say “Buy us lunch and we’ll talk about it” or some other free shit.

“Newbies Town”? Rookie mistake.

Never had that problem, maybe because I have the thigh-gap body type.

This state should not exist.

Give it all back to the Hopi, Diné, and O’odham.

Winding down the winding down of carbon emissions

If you like doing your job and going home

You enjoy your employment and you even enjoy your commute. Then what’s the problem? Are your coworkers having an even better time at work than you are? I don’t understand.

Pi-furcation.
