12 hour time is an inferior standard, and we should be on 24 hour time so developers don't ever default to 12 hour time. Way too many instances of mission critical things getting swapped on am/pm by mistake. That is never a problem with 24h time.

Problem is, the US only really works when every state is in sync. Economies of scale and all that. Stuff will be a lot more expensive if you are just buying for the west coast and Colorado. and you'll have people from fucked up states trying to move to good states, bringing their terrible ideas.

They don't make this exact model anymore, but this one is what I've been using since 2023. And whoa, Nelly, this thing is bright. Way too powerful for most plants. You can have multiple layers of plants in an ikea glass cabinet and they will all be happy....at 50% power. Maybe even 25%.

I also got four of these bad boys and some mini ones (don't bother with the latter) and some thermal epoxy to adhere it down. By default, it is dangerously hot. Glued them on each side of the controller. The heatsinks get extremely hot, but the controller gets down to a reasonable temperature compared to what it was before.

It makes all of my cactuses, chiles, orchids, and other assorted tropicals flower throughout the year. (I run it at 50% with a Phillips Hue automatic plug timer)

I commit all kinds of cast iron crimes, but honestly, just re-seasoning pans is fine. Oil and wipe with a paper towel. Cast iron can absolutely take a cleaning.

I fully clean mine with soap because I make spicy tacos at night in it, then flapjacks the next day. Nobody wants spicy flapjacks.

The real key is unscented/unflavored soap. then, reseason with just enough oil to keep it shiny. If you make it your main pan, it will get nice and seasoned from years of use. :)

You will never clog a toilet if you get a bidet. Putting tons of TP in is how you get clogs.

McCarthy really fucked it all up for us in 1954 with the lavender and red scares. That helped set the stage for those later cunts.

I want the next one to be rotated, but still in portrait. Giant black bars on the sides, and the print is tiny. Like full screening a badly edited video.

Oh God, that sounds awful. The worst we've ever had was ants, which are gross but manageable with some bait traps.

I don't trust Trump to execute it properly, tbh.

Honestly though, anti-missile shields are something we (humanity) needs. Any moron these days can throw it all away in a suicidal instant, now that Putin started a new war and now we have a bunch of smaller wars all over.

But DART showed the promise of orbital defenses, and I'd rather we have some semblance of countermeasures against large meteors, which this is a step towards doing. (Still, climate change is the existential threat that the entire world should be focusing on)

Okay, that is pretty cool.

Hmm, might wanna switch to semi-metallic or metallic pads if you're getting bad brake fade. They'll be louder and won't have as much bite as organic, but they work well in the wet, and they won't fade as much as organics.
