A strictly logical clock for a 24-hour day would have 0 at the top with 1 on the right and 23 on the left. And it would be only ever set to UTC.

In terms of their utility as a cleaning tool, scrub daddies are actually quite good at what they do. They’re somewhat more expensive but remarkably worth the money.

If I had to guess this guy (or girl) is a Bitcoin millionaire or something. But that’s just based on the vibes of his speech with no concrete basis.

Question: how does this site differ in function to the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine?

Sea World is like if aliens confined a human to an office cubicle and called it “City World”

Ordering all people to kill their grass is a great way to cause immense public opposition to any sort of water restriction whatsoever, so it’s not helpful if the goal is to conserve water.

Besides, the amount of water used by this activity is comparatively minimal, probably no more than a tenth of a cubic metre each time, especially since you are only allowed to water for 8 minutes three times a week.

L’Internationale starts playing in the background

That’s a lot more work than you think. You would need a new water meter and water connection installed on each lot and you would also need to file a bunch of legal paper work to do the subdivision, as well as wrangling with the Postal Service to get mailboxes installed for each lot, and so on…

On top of that, you’re risking being found out and pictures of your mansion posted on the front page of Variety being accused of cheating the water rates, which is very bad for someone whose career probably depends on their public perception. Don’t make yourself into the next Amber Heard. On top of that, public outcry means the Council might even intervene to put a stop to your plan by amending the Water Rates Ordinance to penalise you for your obvious attempt to abuse the system.

I think weekly, and the number of cubic metres you get at each price point should depend on the number of identification cards registered at your address.

If we use a model rate of $3 per cubic metre as a baseline, and you, your spouse, and two children all consume the average amount of water per day (225 L), the household would consume 6.3 m³ of water per week. You would be billed $3 per m³ for the first 4 m³. Then you would be billed $6 per m² for the next 2.3 m³. This totals $25.80 for the week.

If we consider a two-person household, just you and your spouse, water usage would be 3.15 m³ for the week and you would be billed $3 per m³ for the first 2 m³ and $6 per m³ for the last 1.15 m³. That totals $12.90 per week.

Under the current system, you would be billed $4.287 per m³ which comes out to $27.00 for the 4-person household and $13.50 for the two-person household per week, so my system results in roughly the same water bill for average consumers.

On the other hand, if you’re a Hollywood actor living in a mansion with your spouse and each using 5 times the average water usage in order to water a huge garden and run a water fountain, your water usage would be 15.75 m³ per week, for which you would be billed $1,434 for that week.

If you use another 12 m³ to top up your swimming pool because the Kardashians or some other trashy celebrities are coming over for a party hosted at your mansion, your water bill for using 27.75 m³ that week would shoot up to $92,147.

In comparison, even if you are being penalised by the Department of Water and Power for excessive usage today, you’re still only charged a maximum of $5.414 per m³, so that actor would be charged only $85.27 at most for the normal week and $150.24 for the pool week.

The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power uses lot sizes for this purpose, which is not without merit since it is easy to calculate, roughly correlates with the number of people living on that lot, and is hard to cheat, but I don’t think it’s actually a very good system. What I think would be better is to check with the Department of Motor Vehicles to see how many identification cards are registered at that address, then allow the rates double every N cubic metres, where N is the number of identification cards registered at that address.

Also, not mentioned is the fact that celebrities in Los Angeles were using thousands of cubic metres of water to keep their massive gardens green, decorative fountains flowing, and their swimming pools full during a drought, while ordinary people were only allowed to water their lawns three times a week.

Water usage should be price exponentially so that each cubic metre costs double what the previous one did.

Pot brownies are popular in the United States, which are baked at 180 degrees Celsius. I think the idea is to protect the components that contain THC, i.e. the crust and sauce.

For that reason, thin-crust pizzas like New York-style pizza are out. They are too thin and would expose the THC to high temperatures. Neapolitan pizza is also out because there is nothing protecting the cannato sauce from the 400-degree wood-fired oven. That leaves thick-crust pan pizzas.

Chicago-style pizza is a possibility despite the fact that the sauce is on top of the cheese, because there is so much of it that it becomes soupy. It might be possible to pour ordinary tomato sauce on top of the cannato sauce to protect it. Conversely, Detroit-style pizza does not have very much sauce at all so it’s out.

I think the best contender is a Pizza Hut-style pan pizza, which has a thick crust and an edge-to-edge layer of cheese on top of it, which I think would do a good job protecting the delicate sauce underneath.

THC oil in the dough, cannatoe-based sauce with dried ground weed added as a garnish… might just send you straight to God.

I wonder if it is biologically possible to grow a cannabis-tomato hybrid. Like a tomacco, but it’s actually a cannato.

Cannatoes could be used to make pizza into an edible, which might be too much for mere human minds to comprehend.

Food in the kitchen is usually measured in pounds for meat and vegetables (similar to the UK) and grams for most other dry goods. So the recipe would call for 2 pounds of beef but 5 grams of salt. The Costco hot dogs are guaranteed to weigh at least ¼ pound.

The most confusing thing is soda, because it is sold in containers of either 350 mL, 16 oz, or 2 L.

Edit: Photograph of Costco hot dog. They are also sold at the food court for $1.50 each, and it comes with unlimited soda from the Coca-Cola machine in the background. This is probably why Americans are so fat.

They’re like $12 for a pack of 18 huge ones at Costco

It tastes similar to Kraft macaroni and cheese (known in Canada and potentially other countries as “Kraft Dinner”). So I would guess young, unaged cheddar or Colby cheese. There is also probably a good amount of whey powder, which is a by-product of cheese production.

It’s not fake, just highly processed.
