Personally, as much as I loved Bill Hicks at the time, and he died far too young, I don’t think his material has aged well. The level of corruption he was railing against just seems cute these days.

Starting off on the gentle stuff there.

George Carlin. Start with Class Clown, it’s more approachable than his later stuff but once you get him you can pick up anything.

Join once. Leave seven hundred and twelvety times.

Not when all that pollution gets into the sea.

I wasn’t aware that Hungary’s term as EU president was coming to a close. Bit of a power move to say that the previous President is not welcome, but I support it.

Poland should set a much better tone.

The erasure of a culture. Genocide.

My problem here, and I don’t mean to victim blame but I don’t understand why anybody thought Honey had a business model that was trustworthy. Most people would see through the slimy guy in your example, so why would they install a slimy guy in their browser? Why would people take sponsorship from a slimy guy? Why would they read our copy that tells kids to “install it on every computer in the house”?

Nobody asked themselves “How does Honey make money out of this?” because at the very least they were going to be data scraping! That much was obvious.

It also happened in the UK and I suspect other European countries with significant wind generation. Is this still a rare event in Germany? 2-3 times a month isn’t uncommon here. Especially in the winter.

8ft diameter is quite small by today’s standards for a separation ring. Even Mercury Atlas rockets were 10ft in diameter. 8ft is more on the scale of weapons systems or maybe medium-lift launch vehicles.

You may be ok if you’re not waiting week to week for a new episode. S1 was good…really good. S2 is still good but slow.

I struggle to call this capitalism. It’s so twisted and corrupt it doesn’t resemble what it started out as.

America is so fucked up.

Yes it’s imports. Norway / France and Netherlands mainly.

He’s degenerated since last time I’m sure. I think he’s facing similar mental degenerative issues as Biden, but Biden is receiving medical care and it’s being managed. Trump is being allowed to literally tilt at windmills because it’s useful to those around him.

It’s the coal they’re burning.

UK for comparison (Average over year)

Edit: Imports are the remainder

No exponent, or at least a common fixed exponent. The technique is called “fixed point” as opposed to “floating point”. The rationale is always to have a known level of precision.

A lot do. They call them “rationals”.
