Yeah, that’s illegal.

I forgot…

A/S/L?

So I can’t speak to the actual motivation for the moon, but can for one reason for at-least-temporary human habitation there. Solar system exploration (and, inevitably resource extraction.

When you launch rockets from Earth, a vast majority of the fuel you start with is burnt off just getting to orbit, out of the deepest part of our gravity well. If you want to go anywhere else in our solar system, you’re severely limited to what’s left. The moon’s gravity is low enough that it could work as a refuelling station. Provided we find enough water there and set up solar hydrolysis stations there and build the infrastructure to get it up to orbiting ships. All that will take people to set up, and possibly to manage long term.

I mean night and day are whole ass parts of the day, so saying Good Those is saying “I hope you have a good whole ass part of the day”. Morning and Evening are just the starts of those periods, so saying Good Those is more like “Let’s have a good part of the day together”. Or maybe I’m just high.

Reminds me of the massive ad (?) in the middle of the palazzo in Greve in Chianti

Brics Bux you say?

Make/use cashew milk instead. Doesn’t bring flavor to the party but helps with the creaminess.

The Wizard of Oz, maybe? Toto is important, and moves the plot, but then, maybe he’s just a MacGuffin.

Me during a vasectomy:

Doc: “We can talk while I’m working if it makes you more comfortable”

Me: 📱"Nope"

You didn’t think those data centers were for LLMs and kitch image and video generation, did you? (Non-existent tinfoil hat emoji)

If they had anything, they’d’ve had a warrant.

Funny timing with this the day after NKorea announced their additional manpower support for Russia’s continuing war on Ukraine.

Outdoor propane burner ftw! That was my go to before I had to get a new stovetop. My newer induction top gets the pressure canner up to temp pretty quick, so it’s the best option for me now.

Botulism.

And I don’t have enough space in my freezer for as many jars of sauce I make every year. I need them to be shelf stable, and that requires canning, and pressure canning is faster and more consistent than deep water bath canning.

$2.17 pfft.

Pack of 50 good tomato seeds: $3.50. Bag of manure: $10. String for tying up the plants: $2. Sticks to tie them up to: found in the yard. Water: no idea. Plant 30 seeds, get 20 plants big enough to transplant. Grow a pithy 5lbs of tomatoes from each plant in your first year because you don’t know what you’re doing. 100lbs tomatoes, would be $5/lb at the store (and don’t taste as good), $500 - $15.50 = $485 savings, less water costs.

Same set up in the next year, less seed costs (you kept yours right?), $50 in steel pipe to trellis the tomatoes to, few hours of YouTube University, and look at that, twice the yield. Now you have to buy some ball jars and a pressure canner ($100). $1000 - $162 = Still $838 ahead. And you now have fresh jarred tomatoes for the whole year.

I mean, nuclear is just a steam engine with long lasting fuel…

I tell my kids to complement people’s choices not their looks. Works both for friends and for romantic interests, though the latter you can graduate to complementing looks once you have a solid base. “Choices” are things that can be changed in a day: clothes, hair, accessories, shoes, etc.

Mine are all All Clad 3 or 5 ply steel and I love them. Going strong for 15 years daily use on induction and still performing like new.

Cast iron is great too, but I worry in a community setting as much for the seasoning as the cooktop. Those beasts are heavy and induction tops are often glass composite that can scratch or crack from misuse.

I’d use them for strawberries. If they’re 5-6" across, that’s about a pint worth

Leaning into a midlife crisis is either a great or terrible idea… Or maybe OP will just get a new car and a gym habit out of it?
