"Gluten Free" has officially gone too far.
  • Gluten intolerant person here. It's like any other allergies where it runs the gambit. Most of us only have digestive issues if we eat it. Very rarely however, people will have the thing where they will just fucking explode into hives if someone breaks out a piece of bread in the same room as them. Just like peanut kid in elementary school.

  • It's now illegal for Minnesota libraries to ban LGBTQ+ books under this new law
  • That's a really long one but pretty much every shitty trend since the 80s can be attributed back to him: Wage stagnation, climate inaction, police militarization, Middle East wars, no taxes for the wealthy, war on drugs, for profit prisons, elimination of pensions, union busting, media polarization, Iran-Contra affair, etc.

    He was popular because he was charismatic but literally all of his policies hollowed out the country into what it is today.

    • Only state to not vote for Reagan
    • Weed legalized
    • Free Breakfast and Lunch for all students
    • First state to protect LGBT Americans from discrimination
    • Only state to not vote for Reagan
    • Protected abortion rights
    • Childcare assistance for low income parents
    • Planned high speed rail between the Twin Cities and Duluth
    • Legalized gay marriage before Obergefell v. Hodges
    • Only state to not vote for Reagan

    There's plenty more but those are just the ones I can think of right now.

  • Do you have the same feeling?
  • Nah I'm like this too. Take it one thing at a time. I also recommend the Adam Savage method of buying tools: Buy the cheapest tool you can and if you use it until it breaks, only then do you buy a quality tool since you clearly use it a lot.

  • Removed
    According to the Federal Reserve Americans owe over $1.6 trillion in student loan debt, with the average borrower owing $37,667
  • It's really only undergrad that's usually uber expensive. My wife is getting her master's for like $10k/year and her company is paying for half of it.

    Meanwhile our undergrad was like $40-50k/year with no help.

    Also this average is probably averaging current balances, not total disbursement.

  • Manipulation
  • My understanding is that wolves don't have "eyebrows" at all. The fact that many dogs have them is either an evolved or selected trait specifically to communicate with humans.

  • Neom: Forces 'told to kill’ to clear land for eco-city
  • All this hardship and money just so they can build a giant glass box in the middle of the fucking desert. Anyone whose spent like 5 minutes in a greenhouse will tell you why that's a bad idea for a city.

  • Giant Batteries Are Transforming the Way the U.S. Uses Electricity | They’re delivering solar power after dark in California and helping to stabilize grids in other states. The technology is expanding
  • I agree. With the cost reduction on renewables, grid-scale nuclear doesn't make a lot of sense anymore.

    However, I hope that nuclear will get a revival with SMR technology. Especially as local power facilities for things like data centers and auto plants and other industrial facilities that require as much power as a small nation.

  • Fuck ads at the gas pump
  • Why do companies even buy ads in this space? There's so many spots in our society where ads are just being injected to play for nobody. At what point do they figure out that it's not worth the return on investment to put ads in those spots?

  • How Gen Z Is Becoming the Toolbelt Generation
  • Not OP but I work in a similar environment (special heavy rail equipment). In our shop we have lots of tradesman: plumbers, mechanics, welders, electricians, etc.

    Generally they are broken up into small teams, handed a set of prints, a kit of parts, and told to build the thing to the print. It's not like an assembly line where you're tightening one bolt all day, it's more like building different Erector sets all day and handing them off to the next team.

    Low stakes, high pay, good benefits, regular hours, low monotony. If higher Ed is not for you, I'd look into something like this.
