I should know the ‘/s’ is mandatory online but it was obvious enough in my head at least

Of course. What if she doesn’t have a man nearby to explain how she feels? Women need this

My house has been a bit of an adventure for wiring.

• family room addition, post and beam with vaulted ceiling. Walls an ceiling filled with foam, no gaps
• exterior walls plaster and lathe over block, no gaps, depth for only the smallest electrical boxes.
• basement and ceiling are open, phew.

I’ve made good use of those flexible drill bits to grab wire up from the basement or down from the attic, but the family room has no access.

An example workaround is the family room air conditioner. There’s no place to rum vents back to the central hvac so it’s a mini split. The wiring goes from basement, along the chimney up to the attic, across the attic to the far end of the house and out through the wall, then run externally to the compressor

It’s only a dumb question if you’re looking at all the people now. Birth rates across the board are declining and most developed countries are well below replacement. We’re just not noticing yet because people live like 80 years.

Most population projections have us peaking in 25-50 years, then population declines. That’s not all bad but how steeply does population decline and when does it stop? How does it impact economies, politics, who had influence and power. It looks like it could be steep and disruptive, with no prediction on when it will level off.

However if we start mitigating that, start encouraging people to have children, provide more support for raising children, give more hope to potential parents, working together for a brighter future consistently for the next 50 years perhaps we can manage the decline for least disruption. Perhaps we can find a sustainable population to level off at which is still big enough for today’s rapid advancements

But we’ve usually made up for it with relatively high immigration, so we’re ok for now as long as we don’t screw with that ……

But that’s the thing - it will take 50 years …. After we start.

Continuing to make it more of a challenge to raise kids is not an auspicious start

Children also do disgusting things but they usually grow out of it, whereas a cat can be joking up hairballs its entire life

It’s always economically viable, just a matter of tracking all the expenses and adding it to the child’s debt. As soon as it’s old enough to work you can garnish it’s wages for all that unpaid debt

Except Kirkland peanut butter is a miss. It tastes great but is mostly oil. Something like Teddys has a higher proportion of peanut solids

the mean person uses about 1.7mg per day

So we can solve drug abuse by being nice?

That would exclude Mulan, yet she is listed as princess.

Maybe they need new lineups. Attn Disney marketing: princesses, fairies, and mulan!

Those still don’t work for me. I wish I liked tomatoes; I do like all the sauces they make. About the only place I can stand actual tomatoes is on a loaded bagel. Something about the taste and texture combination is just divine, the soft and strongly flavored lox, the crunch and tart onions, the sharp and tangy capers, and tomatoes, and I can forget for a while what they are.

Yet more cool tech from NASA, a great example of international cooperation with the fast rising India space Industry, to track information action vital to modern life on earth. A real contribution to humanity

Yeah, waiting for it to be shut down as “woke”
