As you’re out hiking with your cat, a lettuce, and a vacuum cleaner, you come upon a river blocking the path. On the side of the river, there’s a boat that’s just big enough for you and one other passenger.

The cat can’t be left alone with the lettuce.
The vacuum can’t be left alone with the cat.

How do you get everyone across?

Did the publisher know which ip they were working on?

gestures broadly at the current state of KSP2

To quote every Oblivion NPC: “I don’t know you, and I don’t care to know you.”

I think this take is mid.

A doctor pulling in $400k a year is still working class. Even if they somehow managed to save 100% of their income, and invest it all in a portfolio that consistently grows 10% each year, and do so from age 18 to 65, then when they retire at 65 they would still not have even half of 1 billion dollars.

The truly rich, the billionaires, can “make” that much in a few days, without having to work for it.

I would prefer to tax the 1% until they’re working class again before we talk about taxing the top earning people who actually work for it.

Yeah. I’ve had to return printers that wouldn’t let me install drivers without also agreeing to install spyware.

While blowing, some of the fan’s energy is spent on increasing the pressure inside your dishwasher, which increases the density of the air the fan blades move through, increasing drag on the fan blades causing them to move slower and create less airflow.

While blowing, you’re also pushing moist air to the back of the dishwasher, and after that air reaches 100% relative humidity, it can’t hold any more water and will not help dry your plates. Some of it will eventually escape around the sides, but some of the airflow your fan creates just circulates humid air around the inside of the dishwasher.

Turning your fan around solved both problems. It increased the volume of air flow, and decreased the relative humidity of the air flow.

CNN is notorious for stretching the truth in pursuit of the class interest of their owners.

AFAIK, the oil companies need a large volume of gas that’s free from oxygen. I wonder how energy intensive this “carbon capture” tech is compared to capturing the 78% nitrogen that makes up our atmosphere? This implementation of the technology might be worse for the environment than doing nothing.
