This video is someone who actually drives a truck for a living, not a suburbanite who needs a lifted child slammer pickup to boost their fragile masculinity as they drive to the supermarket.

They could make a stick that a soldier could put a spherical grenade on to help give extra range. Like an atlatl or one of those tennis ball launchers for dogs.

Gildan makes a lot of their shirts in pretty bad sweatshops.

But if you're looking for t-shirts made somewhere more "ethical", prepare to literally pay 10x the price.

For my workout or dirty work shirts I go to thrift stores. There'll be lots of polyester/cotton blend shirts but probably still gonna be more than $3.

Similar story in my life but a 12-pack of Smirnoff Ice

It's still around.

The amendment to USA's constitution that "banned" slavery did so EXCEPT as punishment for a crime.

USA also has astoundingly high incarceration rates per capita. Coincidence?

I also switched to a trackball for ergonomic reasons. Not carpal tunnel, something with my thumb. I think ulnar and radial deviation (left and right movement from the wrist) aggravated it. Trackballs helped, as did physio.

They were from Muji. Cotton slippers. The ones made from some kind of reed are gone.

Good point. But I don't know how it'd off-gas or if it'd leak onto stuff.

 

They are soft.

Old ones were nice, but got worn out. Same model was no longer available.

 

Oil production in the USA may drop 🥰

 

I accidentally bought ground coffee instead of whole beans. So when the grinder ran out of beans, I took it apart and gave it a decent scrub. When I use it again, it should grind smoother and maybe even get the coffee tasting better.

 

Obvious missing element of the story: climate change.

 

Good article except the use of the propaganda term "oilsands", it should be "tar sands".

 

...the authors caution that the current pace of decoupling is insufficient to meet the global climate target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Less than half of the regions will be able to achieve net-zero by 2050

 

Azerbaijan’s president, Ilham Aliyev, told a climate conference in April: “Having oil and gas deposits is not our fault. It’s a gift from God.”

 

Maybe EVs are not a comprehensive climate solution??
