I have the Chemex and a Mac.

The price of real (good) filters fits with the Macs unfortunately.

Yeah, the fifth panel is the billionaires stuffing their private jets with the cash over the corpse of the big government.

Yeah yours is a more thorough and less flippant description of what I meant.

We used to make fun of all the corporate word salad that the Managment would use at my last “real” job. But it really was weird salad all the way down [up].

Being convincing and confident without actually knowing is how 9/10s of them make it to the C suite.

That’s probably why they don’t worry about confidently incorrect AI.

Only the HBO shows on Max have the static. If you watch the garbage reality shows it isn’t there.

Cheap led tvs were like 1/5 the cost of Analog TVs. The digital switch over really finished them off too.

Really it’s the size/price that did it though. My buddy paid I think $3k for a maybe 40” Trinitron in 99-2000. It probably weighed 200lbs. Looked amazing at the time but it was probably only months before big leds came out. Plasma might have been a thing then but we’re like $10k+

How many average coal plants per Chernobyl though. I suspect that number is surprising lower than the total number of coal plants.

The “shitter’s full” third I hope.

Yes: Pinto beans are called chili beans for a goddamn reason. But also kidney beans in the mix (and black beans at least) are delicious too.

We did it to Germany, but it probably needs another dose of chemo at this point, like a disturbing amount of places around the world.

Around 55 years, when the southern strategy was enacted to solidify racist support for Republicans.

Before that the parties were more mixed and it was the confederates and robber barons doing the damage. Before that it was the slave owners. And before that it was the colonizers. Before that it was probably whichever tribe had the best growing season or pointiest flint arrowheads.

I’m starting to second guess what the point of progress really is. Are we trying to ride humanity out until the heat death of the universe? Or just the next billion years before the sun boils our oceans away? Another 2000 years so today’s assholes can become deities? 52 more years the the US Tricentennial?
