I think your approach is a good one to ensure real users, reduce spam, and for the admins to be compensated for the service they provide. However, is giving your credit card or bank transfer information to a website less risky or more privacy-focused (one of OP’s goals) than giving an email address?

I don’t see Grandma’s Boy described as a good comedy very often.

And I completely agree with you.

To be fair, I’m much close to the age of the manager in the story than the young person, so I probably don’t have the best grasp on the modern meaning of “cooking.” I just associated it with the phase I already knew.

TIL

I’ve heard the phase “now you’re cooking with gas” for as long as I can remember, which has approximately the same meaning as “cooking.”

“Say hello to John Wilkes BOOM!”

A masterpiece

They’re called “adds” because of the value they add to your life

Why thank you

My kid flushed a rubber ball down the toilet before - it was exactly the right size and squishyness to get stuck. After trying many things, I was able to get it out by removing the toilet and pouring in boiling water - it softened the ball enough for it to be flushed out.

It sounds like I got lucky. It was a warm day iirc - maybe that helped with the thermal stress.

Doesn’t our current energy production add something like 5 orders of magnitude less than insolation? How many multiples of our current energy production before the effect is non-negligible?

How could OP have transcribed the movie clip so wrong, but still made an absurdist joke? Thanks for clearing it up.

I’ve been a victim of Poe’s Law, but there has to be some threshold where it’s not ambiguous.

This new version of the Tesla Virtual Power Plant actually compensates Powerwall owners $2 per kWh that they contribute to the grid during emergency load reduction events. Homeowners are expected to get between $10 and $60 per event.

Works ok for me on Android

One clarification, because I happen to work with it: the hydrogen peroxide and vinegar (acetic acid) react to form peracetic acid (PAA, aka peroxyacetic acid/POAA), which is a stronger oxidizer than hydrogen peroxide. It is indeed used at many US poultry facilities.

Notice that they voted for “Trump” but that it’s “government” that damaged their business. Curious.
