I figure it has more to do with the fact that the ICE car comes with a lifetime of engine and other maintenance that the dealership is looking to cash in on long after the warranty is expired. Even within the warranty, EVs don't need oil changes. Just brakes and tires, which are done much less frequently. And after the warranty, it's a long list of minor repairs to engine components, not to mention supporting all the emission control stuff. It's a gravy train and they don't want to get off.

Mine is in a safe deposit box in Budapest. You can never be too cautious.

Sometimes the scale of industrially-produced food is difficult to grasp.

Approximately 29,819 pounds of the Fun Nuggets are impacted
The contaminated nuggets were made on Sept. 5

30,000 lbs is 1 day's worth of production?? Of 1 type of product? I'm not sure why, but I find that appalling.

I'm just happy for the red circle, without which I could never have completely understood this meme.

Can confirm. I sat alone in the cafeteria in high school and read sci-fi and I was swimming in booty. The athletes and preppies would come up to me and say, "what's your secret bro?" And I wouldn't say anything; just smile and sit back and open my tattered, dog-eared copy of Dune.

Some would argue that reading science fiction restricts it.

The scene with the witches on the viewscreen gave me a lifelong fear of looking out of windows at night.

Harper, strike, and soldier, go.
Free the flame and sear the grasses
Till the dawning Red Star passes."

I once put off a 5 minute task for so long, it was already at the 6 month replacement mark for when I should have originally done it! Efficient!

It took me a moment to get used to it, because I had the traditional upbringing with oatmeal = cinnamon, sugar, etc. But it's not that different from mashed potatoes, polenta, or rice. I already had the pilaf recipe that was a favorite "go with anything" side dish, so I tried that first and stuck with it.

I second oatmeal but I go with savory. 50g of oats, 250ml of broth/liquid.

Variation 1 is a spice mix that mimics a favorite rice pilaf recipe (maybe 1/2 tsp of Old Bay seasoning, some salt and pepper, a sprinkle of turmeric and coriander). Then add in protein, veg, cheese, whatever. That's my go-to most of the time.

Variation 2 is "pizza" style: a scoop of premade marinara, some broth to fill out the rest of the liquid, and a sprinkle of shredded mozz. Throw in some protein/veg that works (think pizza).

Variation 3 is "Mexican style," which I mostly do if I have some leftover carnitas or taco meat: change the spices to chili powder and cumin, cheese, of course.

Quick oats cook up in 2-2.5 minutes in the microwave. Total prep time is maybe 10-15 minutes.

Wait a minute.... what's that little pyramid all the way over there?!

I'm pretty sure the admin response to lack of search was "just use Google."

Nobody ever considers the feelings of the poor corporations! It's all the fault of those mealy-mouthed... sneers ... humans! With their "I'm tired" and "I need to eat food" and "I need to go to the bathroom." How is that productive or efficient? How does that contribute to shareholder value?

Look at Inuit and other cultures that live in the Arctic. Humans can live (relatively) comfortably in extreme conditions without keeping their environment at a constant 22C.
