For me personally growing up, everyone just steamed them into a wet tasteless mush. This is not the way.
Almost all of them are good sauted or baked, even brussel sprouts with a bit of salt and a dash of oil
Reddit is large enough that it's user base is very diverse and niche hobbies can still get a substantial following. From what I can tell, us lemmings are all kinda the same nerdy person who's into Linux and gaming with not enough of us to really make communities for divergent interests.
When I first came in a few people were trying to get /c/bjj going but it just kind of fell off because the middle of a venn diagram of people who are nerdy enough to be here and also into grappling is like me and 6 other people
Still, I peek in here now and again because the shitposts tend to be better.
Surely the oil and energy companies have their own investments into renewables. I can't imagine why Rs would die on this hill except for their little culture war.
I think it's more flexible than you think. In my single 20s I was a night owl because I stayed up late playing video games and got satisfaction out of that. Now in my 40s I'm up at 5am because that's when my family is still asleep and no one needs me for anything, and that's a nice if not rare feeling.
I disagree in that I think the movie is hilarious, but I dunno man, there are way too many people in forums like this declaring "Idiocracy was a documentary" so they can feel smart for a moment.
If you watch interviews of Mike Judge talking about it, none of that is the direction he wanted the message of the movie to go. "Lead, follow, or get out of the way" is the theme he wanted. Putting a common man in a situation where they are in a position to do something is what it's supposed to be about.
Oh but it's not though right? I'm not big into that space but there are professional VR headsets that costs several thousands of dollars, like apples, but still lead it in tech, which to me seem to leave apple's device in this weird cost middle ground between professional headsets like varjo and consumer headsets like oculus.
From what I noticed working tech, there is a pressure to be on the cutting edge at all costs and a lot of stuff gets over hyped to sell things to MBAs. I've seen a few disruptive technologies come in. They are almost never wrong about what the thing is or will be, but they are almost always wrong about the timeline it comes into being in a really mature way.
I don't own a printer because the cost to constantly refill cartrages feels like a subscription already. I just go to the UPS store for the 3 times a year I actually need to print something, on a for-realsies printer that someone else maintains. usually costs less than a dollar every time I go.
Not to mention those old fridges are Horribly inefficient on energy
