Reminds me of this classic

Have you never read a single thing of print media ever? Books, newspapers, and magazines have been hyphenating words to keep uniform blocks of text for over 5 centuries

Dude isn’t an actor. He was just an actual employee named Jake who did a commercial that got big.

I was watching a PBS documentary about the first humans in the Americas. All the scientists are super cool until you get to the American anthropologist who starts using phrenology to explain why Native American tribes shouldn’t be given repatriation rights, only for a Danish geneticist to say “yeah, this is absolutely a Native American and i am willing to testify to that in any court of law”

Pseudoscience is still all the rage if it can be used to push a political agenda.

Even the rural college town my grandma grew up in had tram lines running down the main streets in the 30’s and to both colleges. If a city had more than 20,000 residents 100 years ago, they probably had a tram system that was pulled up at GM’s behest.

Spent a lot of summers with my grandma, her brother, and her sister growing up. The best day of Uncle Karl’s life was when he got hearing aids because he would just turn them off when my grandma and Aunt Millie started nagging him about something.

Sliding the deer under your car is also really bad for you. It’s going to do a lot of damage under there such as ripping break lines, destroying ball joints, or fragging your differentials. You need to safely shed as much speed as possible while maintaining your lane when about to hit a deer.

You absolutely need to hit the brakes, but don’t swerve. A deer weighs over 200lbs and will likely crash into your windshield if you hit it head on. You need to safely loose as much speed as you can because even a side hit on the deer is likely to wreck your axel and prevent you from driving.

Absolutely not true. No amount of speed is going to keep you safe if you strike an animal on a bike. You’re better off slowing down so that you have less momentum when you wreck. Drivers should be giving you enough space (even though they rarely do). A deer weighs more than a grown man and will kill you if you hit it at highway speed. A dog will take out your front wheel and cause you to wreck whether you hit it at 15mph or 80mph.

Or have the most prestigious universities and most powerful companies.

Syntax is for nerds. I prefer a vibes based language.

It’s such a steep [word] for 20 minutes of action.

The keno addicts at the bar i work at are wild. They just keep silently putting in money and watching the drawings. I prefer that to the ones who try to explain their strategies to me or complain that some number appears in every drawing. Or the guy who came in Wednesday night and kept betting $10 that the first pitch of every at bat of the Mets/Brewers game was gonna be a strike. It’s bleak.

Now you just hook your debit card to the machine and you don’t even have to put a coin in!

Not every town is gonna flood every year. But there are major floods across Appalachia every year because of the geography. It’s always been a high flood rosk area, which was a major reason for the TVA back in the 30’s. Electrify the area and control flooding. I’m not arguing against climate change. I’m just saying that “flooding in the mountains” isnt some Noah’s arc type shit.

I’m not saying this isn’t unprecedented, but flooding (not at this level) has always been a reality of life in Appalachia. I remember going to Kentucky to help out after flooding in 2007 or 2008.

The Appalachian mountains getting massive flooding all the time. The only places you can really build anything are along river valleys in the mountains, so they flood when big storms come through.

And radio telescopes aren’t exactly compact enough to build in space. Radio telescope arrays tend to be fields withs dozens-hundreds of dishes several meters across.

It’s the pivot Muskrats have been making since astronomers first started raising the alarm aboit Starlink. It’s our lazy scientists fault for not launching $4billion telescopes into space every year.

Yeah, the early Internet didn’t require 5 tons of coal be burned just to give you a made up answer to your query. This bubble is Pets.com only it is also murdering the rainforest while still be completely useless.
