    A friend of mine is a retired house painter. Had his own business for forty years. His best return clients were people who either smoked, had gas ranges or both. House needed repainting top to bottom every five years. Gas ranges are probably fine with the proper hood and fan ventilation otherwise probably not a healthy idea. In the absence of enforced regulations people will always cheap out on the ventilation as it is expensive.

    @LuFins-Dad said in There ain't no Planet B: Barely read 1/3 and found it unnecessary to continue. Ya’ll and the author really need to READ (not watch) The Expanse. Author also needs to take into account our own ability to adapt. Author and Ya’ll ought to also listen to Bobiverse… I see no reason to believe that either of those two books are any better a predictor of my future than is 50 Shades of Gray.

    Support of Donald Trump, was a full stop excommunicable offense in most high status American circles. You really don't need to know more than that, about why people felt as they did. One can go deeper psychologically, like an excess of the disgust reflex and its ability to overwhelm reason, but when the cultural coercion was at that sort of peak, you don't even need to consider more than that. People love good vs evil battles, especially when they can participate at no personal risk, and even with an associated personal gain.

    There's only a few things that'll cause such a rapid drop in the Hct - and all of them involve a lot of bleeding, and none of them are good. Mesenteric artery is usually associated with a thrombosis, not bleeding. Is it possible the endoscopy got a major vessel? @bachophile ? Thoughts?

    This one sniffs of existential risk. Best to not vote for a Republican for at least another 20 years. After a couple decades, we can revisit whether conservative ideals are within reason to vote for. But we must wait until the existential risk has passed. For our Democracy.

    Why the Heck Is Amazon Selling These Fake 16 Terabyte Portable SSD Drives? It’s clear that the manufacturer, whoever that may be, didn’t want people to take this hard drive apart. There are no seams, no screws, no obvious points of access. I found a pinhole near the USB-C port resembling a SIM card access point. But no amount of prodding did anything. So I broke out my trusty iFixit tools and pried the thing apart. “What would I find inside?” I wondered as I carefully shoved one end inside the case. Hopefully, I didn’t break whatever was inside. Maybe it really would be a magical 16TB M.2 SSD drive. Perhaps they just installed it incorrectly, and thus it wasn’t performing correctly. Or maybe, if I were to suggest more likely outcomes, I would open the casing and find world peace. Or the solution to unlimited energy. Or at least the answer to why hot dogs come in ten packs while hot dog buns come in 8 packs. Alas, once I managed to take the drive apart, I found exactly what I suspected from my tests: a micro SD card slotted into a circuit board acting as a USB-C adapter. The micro SD card doesn’t have any markings on the front side, and some serial numbers on the back that seem to confirm the 64 GB size my testing revealed. Why does Windows show a 16TB drive, then? That’s likely a part of the board’s firmware, falsely reporting a size that doesn’t exist. This thing is a total lie, from top to bottom.
