Apple layoffs
  • Yeah. I don’t want to live there, but if my company wants to tax shelter there and fly me in occasionally for Franklin brisket and La BBQ everything else, that would be perfectly fine. The state will hopefully improve in time.

  • I don’t like forced in-person work unless it’s just a quarterly on-site where they fly us in and pay for accommodations. I agree that Texas is fucked until they fix their abortion laws, however it is worth mentioning that Austin is a liberal city and does not function the same way as the rest of Texas in many regards. It is becoming a tech hub and would be cool if my company relocated there, as long as they flew me in quarterly and didn’t expect anything more than that. Really great BBQ. They do have a bad homeless problem though.

  • Bottled water contains 100 times more plastic nanoparticles than previously thought
  • Even with fission, nuclear is a panacea of energy with almost no waste for modern reactors. I can see there being an initial rise in energy costs to get those projects built out though. If they are phasing out nuclear, that would be dumb.

    Additionally, researchers at MIT recently found that you can evaporate water without heat, so that should hopefully be a thing in the near future.

  • Bottled water contains 100 times more plastic nanoparticles than previously thought
  • I was about to write back that we are not far off the advances to make these affordable and then did a google search and found that you can get a distilled unit on Amazon for $180 that is capable of making a gallon in 5 hours for about $.45 worth of electricity. That is far less than what it costs to buy distilled water at the store, which is around $1 a gallon. If you look at this from a break-even analysis, you technically start to reap the rewards of ownership after about 800 uses since the first 400 uses basically cost you $1.45 per gallon, then the next 400 costs you $.45 per gallon, but you are recouping that extra cost over the $1 retail price, so by the 800th use, you are getting water at less than half the price of the store.

    US vetoes UN resolution calling for Gaza ceasefire
  • You are subject to Hamas propaganda. They want the numbers to look as bad as possible. People are being told where not to be. It is a war zone. The bad guys are using civilian infrastructure as shields. When the fog of war lifts, hopefully the truth will come out. How many tunnel networks filled with weapons under schools and hospitals do you need to see before you change your mind? They can’t just let Hamas exist. Especially while they have hostages. Additionally, people have the history very wrong if they think Israel’s formation was colonialism and evictions.
