Cranberries don't grow on the water, the fields are just flooded at harvest time because the berries float, which makes it an easy method to gather them.

Lion batteries have flames without explosions because of design considerations with the batteries: vent holes that allow pressure and heat to escape a failing battery. It's possible that if those safeguards were compromised, you could trigger an actual explosion.

It's obviously different in different areas. The Asian was more referring to the west coast. In the south it would be primarily wealthier cities, and the only of those that exist in the south (like Atlanta) are shown here.

Yeah I would love to believe this is anything other than a map of high ratios of white/Asian to other races, which itself is a proxy for high socioeconomic status ratios.

It keeps happening because people are human and make mistakes.

And the guy who invented it didn't ever have to use it for decades afterwards, it was purely theoretical to him.

JD Vance is the only guy who can join the mile high club without leaving his seat.

He has. He and his twin brother were actually part of a study into the effects of long term space habitation (his trips were shorter). They're the only two siblings to ever both go to space.

Sure, no one is saying that. The point is that it doesn't send anything other than the stuff after the keywords back to company servers.

There's also the matter of there being literally hundreds of security and privacy researchers who would love nothing more than to catch Amazon doing this, and no one has in any major way.

Same but also add "less" and "fewer"

There's also been tons of academic studies on it that back it up.

Protonmail is encrypted and they literally cannot decrypt to record your data.

I mean that guy is being an idiot, but it's also not quite that simple. There is still more and less ethical consumption. A fairphone is more ethical than an iPhone, and pointing that out in good faith to someone complaining about Apple's behavior seems entirely fair.

It's not a complete fallacy to point out that someone is consuming something less ethical when they have a better option. Obviously it's impossible for anyone to do this with literally everything, but absolutely you can avoid Starbucks because of their treatment of unions, and frequent a local coffee shop instead.

Granted this is mostly assuming two people having a good faith discussion, which on the internet is infrequent lol.

It also could be referencing something that they were better at in their prime, but may no longer be able to do due to age. Like answering running if your dad was a professional runner or something.

They come with a big thick zip up cover, if that's the kinda thing you're looking for. I don't really remember noticing any powder on mine when I got it, but it's entirely possible I just didn't notice.

I haven't ever weighed it so that might be a bit of an overestimate, but not by much lmao, it's ridiculously heavy

I also got a purple pillow on a friend's recommendation. I'm a really hot sleeper, and a side sleeper, so I need a lot of pillow and it was hard finding both of those things in one pillow for me. It's been great, I like it a lot. The main downsides are it's heavy as shit (the pillow probably weighs like 8kg, it's wild), the weird rubbery texture takes some getting used to, and the little mats they give you that go under the pillow to make it taller get bunched up if you move the pillow too much.

Other than those minor complaints, I've really loved it. It stays very cool, while still being springy and contouring.

I haven't really experimented with other pillowcases, but I have been meaning to, if anyone knows of something nice.

I was going to say, anybody with a full size spare in a sedan like that probably also owns an angle grinder for later

The driver skill is hard to control, but I would assume they had equal pressure in the tires, or at least close enough. There's also more things that matter like tire width, lockers, horsepower, weight etc.

Even if it's not a perfectly scientific test, it can still be interesting
