I am whelmed to learn this information

  • Why does "gruntled" sound even more unhappy than "disgruntled?"

    • A book recommendation from Google Bard

    Jump

  • I'm sorry to hear life is having challenges for you at the moment, I hope that resolves soon. A nice thing about a book is that you can put it down for days, weeks, months, whatever, and it's still waiting for you when you feel like coming back to it.

    I've been reading more Gibson lately. I read the first two books of the Jackpot trilogy (the third hasn't come out yet) and the first in the Blue Ant trilogy. They've all been very good.

    You take care and I hope things get better for you.

    • This scammer pretending to be Greenpeace

  • That seems high, though I guess if they're doing it in a state with high renewable energy, that's what they're using. It uses a crazy high amount of energy though.

  • I wonder what fraction of Bitcoin mining energy comes from renewable sources. I bet it's teeny tiny.

    • Why do I fart all the time when I'm trying to sleep?!

    Jump

  • Farting as you relax and when you bring your knees up towards your chest (common when you sleep on your side) is pretty normal. It might also be a timing thing based on when you go to bed relative to when you've eaten.

    You might look into why you fart so much if it's excessive. For instance, I have an odd food intolerance called fructose malabsorption - excess fructose doesn't get digested, so it just ferments in my intestines. If I eat a lot of it, I'll get massively painful diarrhea, but usually I just get some gas.

    The same thing happens with people who are lactose intolerant: they can usually have some amount of lactose and they just get gassy, so some people don't even realize they have it.

    Other things can also cause unusual amounts of gas.

    • He should give a try

    Jump

  • I used to think Elon was just an idiot for buying Twitter and running it into the ground, but now I wonder if he was completely successful in buying a giant megaphone and making sure it only broadcast his pro-Trump propaganda. What does he care if it's not making as much money?

    • What positive things do you expect from Trumps upcoming four years?

    Jump

  • Why without you think I didn't?

  • For people who have 401Ks or other investments, the likely deregulation pushes up stock prices (which is why the stock market had a big bump this week). Oh, sure, those regulations help protect the environment, workers rights, worker health and safety, etc., but:

    • If Trump (somehow) wins tonight, what will you do?

    Jump

  • It's not something anyone can just do. America's borders are more open than a lot of countries'. You have to apply, and it can be a multi-year process even if you do get accepted. It can cost money too.

    • The thing they don't tell you about showing up to vote is that there often are sexy singles in your area.

    Jump

  • The women in my life also say that it depends a bit on where. For instance, most just don't want to be hit on at the gym.

    • This Is a Test - Can the country pass?

    Jump

  • I guess you and I just disagree. Yes, for me there's for sure a "not Trump" aspect to Kamala, but she seems like the most progressive candidate we've had for some time.

    • This Is a Test - Can the country pass?

    Jump

  • No one is saying it's "the wrong time," like the people who say we can't talk about gun control after a shooting. What they're saying is that a third party candidate is fundamentally a waste of a vote, or worse, in a two-party system. It doesn't move the needle in the direction you want, it takes a vote away from the major party candidate who is closer to your ideals.

    • The thing they don't tell you about showing up to vote is that there often are sexy singles in your area.

    Jump

  • Which is why so many women hate talking to men they don't know: there's so often that request for a date after even the most innocuous small talk.

    • YSK Wikipedia's list of common misconceptions

    Jump

  • This is a very cool and interesting list. Interesting enough to read from top to bottom, but in bite-sized chunks for people with limited time or short attention spans. Thanks for sharing!

    • Where is the best place to keep up with US election results?

    Jump

  • The BBC and Reuters have both gone way, way downhill in recent years, but the concept is reasonably valid. AP and NPR are still good. Aljazeera is actually pretty decent for US news, though I'm not sure if that's true for US news related to the middle east.

    • 'Am I allowed to hit her now?' Trump stuns with Michelle Obama remark

    Jump

  • Would be nice to think so, but apparently they're Trumpers.

    • Nuclear Demonology

    Jump

  • Reportedly he has a very worth of $50M. If that was just in investments getting 4 percent a year, that would be $2M annually for doing nothing. Kind of gross to stoop to that level for money when you have so much.

    Jump

  • Courting the same demographic

    • What would you put in the bowl?

    Jump

  • No, some whoppers end up with the inside not all whipped and crunchy, but a little chewy. They're great.

    • Tucker Carlson claims he was mauled by a demon while asleep, leaving claw marks

    Jump

  • I feel like, if demons were real, they'd be perfectly happy with Tucker.
