This example was provided as an estimated upper limit - you could drive to basically the furthest-away big city within 60 hours. Other cities would be substantially less than that, because that’s an upper limit.

Driving from a small town on the western tip of NC… let’s say Franklin, NC, to Washington DC takes only 8 hours… but driving to Knoxville, TN or Atlanta, GA would only take you 2 hours.

If that drive takes you “days” by car, you might have an issue.

Gave me a chuckle to see “have kids, move away, go to prison, and die” listed as a typical life trajectory.

You don’t recognize the ruling party on the Chinese mainland? What is this, Taiwan?

Oh, it’s a publicly-funded position? Then the drivers ought to work for free, right? Why, it’s practically welfare if the taxpayer is footing the bill! (/s I hope is obvious)

I mean… if nobody wants to do a job for the pay allotted, then the pay is by definition too low. You can make other changes that bring the acceptable pay range down (make kids not be assholes or something idk) but in the end it’s always about the pay at the end of the day.

Oh no, did Dream do something?

Hey, free news content sans paywall and an app that does only what it says on the tin. What’s not to like?

The oxygen atom in a water molecule has an oxidation number of -2 (which is as reduced as it can get in common compounds you’re likely to find, and it has no reason to react further). In hydrogen peroxide, the oxygen atoms have an oxidation number of -1, so not quite as reduced as oxygen would rather be (which is why H2O2 is gonna oxidize whatever is around it. Those oxygen atoms are gonna get those sweet, sweet electrons one way or the other by god!)

The hydrogen atoms are identical between H2O and H2O2; that’s not where the magic happens, so to speak.

You’re probably referring to methanol fires! Commonly used as a fuel for things like F1 cars, iirc.

YouTube TV used to be $50/mo until June 2020, so I presume that this is an old meme.

This isn’t YouTube Premium; this is YouTube TV which is an entirely different product. YouTube Premium is like $13/mo. and cheaper for students.

I wonder if the foundation of the house would be convenient for this… that much concrete is equivalent to a cube of side length around 10 feet, which seems to at least be in the ballpark for the total amount of concrete in a foundation. I think?

Anytime one of these big projects has something offshore, I have to wonder whether it wouldn’t be more likely to be adopted if it were on land instead, if possible. Everything. EVERYTHING is more expensive when you’re putting it in the middle of miles of salt water.

Same thing when the “hot” feed shows dozens of threads with zero comments. Idk what hot means in this context, evidently.

I don’t understand - is this not how it’s meant to work? Ten functionally-identical communities get ten identical posts, and unless you block nine of the communities you’ll see the same exact stuff ten times? I’ve been blocking communities left and right… have I been doing it wrong?

I’m not calling it stupid, I’m just providing context for an equivalent question to help illustrate my answer.

Thanks for a genuinely interesting reply! While I learned something from you, I still don’t know when I’d “go out with preloaded mags”. I don’t know what I’d expect to find out there which would require that sort of preparation, ha!

Is reloading super laborious or something? Is the goal to only need to reload once a day, maybe at night as your phone is recharging?

They’re just tourists and people who live there, nothing more to it. You might as well ask, “is there some significance of waterfalls to Americans? I see a lot of Americans coming here from far away.”

Some people briefly tried that during the French Revolution, but it never caught on.
