You see these all the time, but they don’t look like this because they’re only sold commercially. Normally you see a truck box, a big tool rack/cherry picker, or a bus compartment. These are low-volume models that are designed and sold for purposes that actually require these trucks. This truck bed was a custom body job and this vehicle is probably a marketing/promotion model. No one’s driving these around as their daily commuters, I doubt very many of these are even owned privately. OP is just just trying to start a disinformation circle-jerk

Lol wildly exaggerated. Largest height difference on Earth’s surface is 13 miles (including underwater) vs. the 8,000 mile diameter. To quote NDGT, “The Earth is smoother than a cue ball”

I love ONI and Don’t Starve is hard for me to get into. ONI is a mechanical/technical base/management simulator. I’m a huge Factorio player and ONI scratches a pretty similar itch

A Chinese show has already been released and an American one is releasing on Netflix soon. The Chinese version can be streamed on Viki. I’m about 1/3 of the way through (30 episodes) and I’m absolutely loving it. They don’t dumb down any of the details with the science and is staying very true to the books so far. You just have to be willing to watch a subtitled show

I’m happy to be surprised but I doubt I’ll like the US version as much. Nearly every US book adaptation I’ve watched has been dumbed down “for a wider audience” and changed quite substantially (looking at you, Silo and Beacon 23). This is also coming from D and D of GoT infamy, so we’ll see if they can turn their track record around. At least this book is finished so they have the entire source material to work with

During the day it’s white, but it’s also overhead and blindingly bright so we don’t spend much time looking at it. As it gets closer to the horizon Rayleigh scattering begins filtering out the bluer light and the sun becomes yellow, then orange, then red. It also gets closer to our eyeline and becomes mildly safer to look at so we look at it a lot more. This in turn leads us to believe it’s always yellow

Only one if it’s bad enough to break skin and gets infected. Or you could also imagine someone stubbing their toes so often and badly that they lose all 10 toes and survive, can’t stub your toe anymore if you don’t have any

Only took it once, I don’t know anyone personally that took it more than once. If there’s a minimum wait time it would be posted in your state’s policies, but I’d guess they’ll take your money for the second test as soon as you want the too

Overhydration is a rare but fatal condition that occurs when someone consumes too much water, leading to an electrolyte imbalance. As little as 1 liter an hour can cause this condition. Distilled water has the highest chance of causing this condition with little to no benefit other than taste. Taste preferention is also uncommon as we’ve generally evolved to seek out mineral-rich water

Red is light at the 480 THz range. Blue is light at the 670 THz range. I think that’s perfectly described using terms of the physical world. If you’re talking about “what we experience as color” as being difficult to describe in our consciousness, then sure but that’s the case for every single thing we experience. Same way I can describe the musical note A as 440 Hz. Does an A to you sound the same to me? My tongue is sensing a sugar molecule, does the experience of tasting it feel the same to you?

Not a single human perception can be described in words, but we can all compare perceptions to other perceptions and agree on the same answer. Perceptions are simply us recognizing patterns in our environment. Red is me recognizing my eyeball is looking at an object reflecting light in the 480 THz range. You look at that red ball and you also recognize it as reflecting light at 480 THz. Does it need to be described any further?

A guy brought beef stew to a fight, but he soon realized his mistake.

It was not strog-enough

Dasani and Smart Water have high salt to mineral content, they’re my favorite brand of bottled water. Pure water tastes bad and is actuality dangerous to drink regularly

Are you intimately familiar with the inner workings of your heatpump? Nearly all heatpumps in a cold climate have backup heat built in and it would automatically switch to backup when it gets too cold outside. -30C is well into the too cold category for it to function as a heatpump alone

Home generators are not very efficient, they lose a lot of energy to heat and noise. It’s close to the break even point so depending on your generator and heatpump, you could use more gas than with a modern gas furnace. Even with a theoretical perfect 100% efficient generator, it’s not going to be an order of magnitude less gas because heat pumps are not 1000% more efficient than a gas furnace

I’ve got a Twitter you might enjoy https://x.com/Earth_Updates?t=QZGvY8yKAWP22k3DNpAIeg&s=09

Someone’s never had their balls shaved as smooth as a Christmas ham. You can definitely get bubbles floating up past your balls, but it takes a decent amount of sweat and a complete lack of hair

I’ve also spent time in Europe using the public transportation you’re using to set the bar and Seattle and Washington DC are on par. I’m sure (hope) that some other US cities are there too that I haven’t visited. Both of those cities have stops or stations throughout the whole city and suburbs. City stops are usually around a 5 minute walk to anything and the suburbs were 15 min walk at worse. Connecting routes to get across town easily. Routes were frequent in busy areas during the day. I didn’t see anything offered in Europe that isn’t also available in these US cities with usable public transportation

I could get anywhere in the city quickly and cheaply at any hour of the day or night, surrounding suburbs included. Routes at least every 15 minutes or less along busy routes during the day. It would have been much cheaper if we were residents with yearly passes. We had backpacks to lug our stuff around, if you needed to bring more you could bring a small cart. It’s not as convenient as a car, buts it’s public transportation same as any city in Europe. I’ve also spent time in London and had an identical experience. What do you think busses and trains in Europe offer over the ones in good US cities? When I needed to get an hour out of London, I needed a car too

Your comment lacks a bit of experience/awareness about what’s out there. The US is huge, you’re going to find different experiences in different places. Your statement about New York being the only mass transit city in all of US is not true. My vacations to Seattle and Washington DC I had no car, went all over the city by bus and train, easily.

Day-zee. Definitely not daisies, maybe similar to daisy but there’s a pause and different emphasis while saying it

If this blew your mind, I’ve got something else for you. Nitrogen, which makes up nearly 80% of the air we breath, is also toxic and causes alcohol-like drunk impairment effects at high enough concentration. We can’t experience this at atmospheric pressures but scuba divers need to account for this when diving. Higher pressures in the ocean means higher gas concentrations in your blood. If a diver is using regular air, by the time they get to 100ft they will be at the limit of what is considered a safe amount of “drunkeness” for diving. By the time you hit 200ft, you’ll have a lethal amount of nitrogen in your blood. Deeper diving requires replacing nitrogen in your air supply with something like helium that does not cause mental impairment or toxicity at that concentration.
