I wonder if anyone remembers an old experiment they did with houseplants and removing VOCs. They did the experiment right and had one plant have all leaves removed and it removed as much or more as the plant. The source of VOC removal? T

I cancelled my Tesla due to the Paul Pelosi tweet. It was the last straw. Was supposed to be picking the car up tomorrow after waiting seven months. It makes me sad because I love the car, we sold our 2021 to buy a 2023, but I just can’t

>A modern-era Energy Star-rated fridge, by comparison, might only use 350 kWh annually. At the same $.10 per kWh price, that's around $.10 a day, $2.9 per month and $35 per year I admire efficiency a lot but I don’t think digging ar

If you are anticipating human greed evaporating, then yes, crypto will go to zero. My experiences so far in life have shown that to not be likely. People holding stocks may never see ATH either, it’s the risk we take for the mental constru

What a novel and original argument. Actually Bitcoin and Ethereum have a known supply and limited inflation (Ethereum is actually deflationary now) so best suited to not go to zero. The USD on the other hand… https://fred.stloui

Did they punch themselves in the face or was it Cambridge Analytica type meddling from groups with a vested interest in Brexit happening stomping them in the face with a boot? From my brief reading about the matter it seems that the same vi

Which movies? The only one I didn’t like was the one about the internet, Lo and Behold. I feel like maybe he was just from too many eras ago to understand how full of shit all the people he was interviewing were. All the rest of his movi

I love my Mint. There have been no downsides for me. $15 a month. Got my whole extended family and friends on it. Everyone loves it.

Are you sure you are speaking as clearly in the evening? I don’t understand how voice command recognition could fluctuate based on AI and time of day.

Yes I thought it was going to be about the true hell that is calling any company now. Phone menus for at least a minute and then connected to someone with long Covid and/or new hire that has no idea what they are doing or forgot how.

What would happen if you disabled 1% of your cpu? People might say what’s a loss of 1% but I’m reminded of data from sports science where 1% more performance is an absolutely astounding amount that separates world class from the pack. I d

The old mantra of people only use X% of their brain has been found to be hogwash. We use all of our brain, so I’d be very worried about a poison that even takes 1%. > The notion that a person uses only 10 percent of their brain is a myt

Lol, well I’ve got the old dumb one that you just push a button on to clean. His boundaries are set by my little fence pod things that run on D batteries which I have to push the button on too.
