Good evening Squirrel Fans.
Tonight’s quote takes me back to the days when I was a young just teenager with my bedroom above the kitchen & a floorboard that had a convenient hole in it which allowed me to accidentally listen in on my parents discussing my latest exploits! :-
“It’s quite easy to accidentally overhear people talking downstairs if you hold an upturned glass to the floorboards and accidentally put your ear to it.”
― Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky

if you’ve ever had a Mexican Coke after drinking American Coca-Cola you would actually call this winning. It tastes like a completely different product.
Corn syrup is SO BAD FOR PEOPLE.
oh yeah... but ain't no way I'm calling this winning! 🤣
Edit: Also someone just said "The acid in Coke modifies the can sugar and makes it chemically identical to corn syrup." so ... 😬
How much do I love Ed Zitron?
> “But Ed!” you cry. “You can’t just call Sam Altman an idiot! He isn’t stupid! He runs a big company, and he’s super successful!”

During the heat waves this summer, here in lovely #Cascadia I have been making great use of #EvaporativeCooling
Works quite well here, as we have dry, hot summers, and reasonably abundant water sources.
Got a used commercially manufactured one plugged into the grid for power...
You have to make sure to exhaust the humidified air, but it uses a tiny amount of power (80-120W) for how much cooling it can provide!

Ah yes, equating a working class movement that uplifted hundreds of millions from poverty and killed 85% of the Nazis in World War II with a genocidal bourgeois reaction that murdered tens of millions out of racial, sexual, ableist, and political supremacy. Gotta love historical nihilism and horseshoe theory.
Read Blackshirts and Reds. Quit it with the Holocaust minimization.
