Has anyone else noticed the full court press in the car zines lately (Jalopnik, this one, others) trying very hard to convince the public at large that EVs are just too expensive? Totally disingenuous and cherry picked. I've long felt these zines are paid for by the fossil fuel industry, not the auto industry. Thoughts? #electric #car #bigoil

This is the only way, only way I have to say
I loved 'em every one

Dollar, short stack or tall, wish I could've ate them all
I loved 'em every one

TBH, I had to wait until my mother passed myself. 🙄

And that's why I don't use any of those sites. They can take along walk off a short pier.

Wait. He was suing his big fat mouth? #mangomussolini

Newsweek: Donald Trump Drops Lawsuit Against His Biggest Enemy.

@Thumprhare I've seen it both ways. The health risk has always been there since my grand parents' youth. It is from CO though, and a properly maintained stove and CO detector (they are free at the fire station) mitigate that risk. I can't even remember the last time I ready about a stove killing someone by CO though. It's usually the furnace that runs all the time. YMMV

Concerning this whole gas stove thing that's all the rage ATM. The average human produces about 500 liters of CO2/day or 1kg by weight. Ovens are more complicated but produce about 225 g/30 minutes at "normal" baking temperature. So 2 hours baking is the same as a human breathing for 1 day. Do a search for largest daily contributors. Humans and stoves don't even rate as contributors. DON'T BE DISTRACTED BY BS. #climatechange #co2

@fredegrar Best first post I've read in quite some time. Enjoy the lurking!

That really sucks @AI78 Hoping that's the worst this year has to offer for you.

Today's project was a reorg of my coffee counter. With the 'death' of my old coffee pot and a switch to afternoon tea (and obligatory reduction in coffee consumption,) I decided an electric kettle and French press was the way to go. Used it as an opportunity to move mugs out of the cupboard and install hooks for hanging so all the counter containers, teas, hot chocolates, etc, could move behind doors. Without the big old machine and the containers there's now 60" of counter freed for use. #happy

Where!? 🍺 😂

Believe me @Janet, I keep putting in filters and they keep using different euphemisms, like "the bird site" that avoid the filters. That aside, I really don't care if they do post about it. I'm seeing the same thing over on my Mastodon professional account. I guess it's the social media equivalent of neighborhood gossip. Mazel tov!

I hear the EULA is 365 days long.

Out of curiosity, why do all those coming here to tell us "the bird site" (aka #twitter) is down think we care?

Just watched a video of my partner's friend getting married on Christmas. They did their own vows. Using her phone, she does a 5-minute spiel of promises. It was actually pretty good. Then he starts, by pulling out a paper list from his pocket. He opens it and begins to read,

"Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you"

Now THAT'S a sense of #humor and good night!

Out of 8 billion humans on this ball of silica, only one in four celebrate Christmas. I am one of them, but I never forget I am in the minority. #perspective
