  • The unfortunate, actual reason is that people will pay more markup on the vacuum with useless shit added than it costs to add it. Explaining why humans are like this is unfortunately a less tidy and much more disappointing endeavour.

  • My wife has a coworker who works remotely from the Tampa suburb he lives in, who was supposed to be in office for two weeks in New York. He left this weekend, cutting the trip in half, to take his pregnant wife and toddler back home so he can 'protect the house'.

    'We've been through hurricanes before.'

    Fucking idiot.

  • CDs for me. If you buy a big disc binder they really don't take up that much room. Its about the same size as the 1971 compact OED that sits on the same shelf.

    If I really wanted to get rid of them I'd just donate them to the local library system. The ones they don't want they'd resell as a fundraiser.

  • While you can do this, it's not clear to me that you should. There are a number of additional laws having to do with perjury and misusing goverment sites and while I would undoubtedly agree with you, were you to assert the application of those laws to the utilization of a user agent switcher is a ridiculous overreach, I am just as certain I have no desire to be in the hot-seat on the day we all find out.

  • I don't much go in for the mommy blog nonsense. My kids are vaccinated. We do enjoy many of the conveniences modern chemistry and industry have to offer, but some years ago when I was reading about BPA replacements we switched to all glass or bare metal food containers at home and a strong preference for brands that come in glass from the store(or preferably no package at all). Never once have I regretted the extra expense or prep work.

  • Without getting into the weeds of arbitration—if you want to sue Valve for some reason, you now have to file in King county, Washington. This makes it too expensive to be worth it for any amount less than the cost of flying to and staying in Seattle for a lawsuit. Even if you're right and Valve is wrong.

    Amazon recently did this too and it worked out well for them I guess, since other companies seem to have followed suit.

  • Not only did you not read the article, but you apparently don't know that much about TMI either. There are multiple reactors at TMI, the one that had the accident is not the one they're restarting.

    The one they're restarting shut down a few years ago, along with several other nuclear plants, due to being too expensive to compete on cost with all the cheap gas post fracking boom.

    Yes, for reasons passing understanding the state and federal government allowed existing, functional nuclear plants to close in favor of natural gas plants.

  • The kind that takes more than 2 months to 'complete'. From the perspective of the earth it makes a horseshoe shape. From the 'temporary moon' perspective it gets a trajectory adjustment on its solar orbit.

    It's more like a gravity assist that takes 2 months to complete than an orbit.
