An electric blanket is one of the best ways to warm up when you’re “chilled to the bone”. Layer them between normal blankets to make the most of the heat and keep them clean, and you can get whole body heat for a tenth the cost of even a little space heater.

The ball was white/light gray. It has the surface texture of plaster of Paris, but it is somewhat lighter than would be appropriate for its canteloupe-like size.

I don’t think I actually pictured a whole person as pushing the ball, more likely it was a disembodied hand or the general sensation of pushing it myself.

I remember being specifically intrigued that I pictured the ball rolling back towards the center of the table and pondering why I had chosen the table to be slightly concave. I don’t remember more attributes of the table, but I have the feeling that has more to do with inattention to its details rather than not picturing them at the time.

I imagine that, based on the framing of the story, my interpretation was to picture the sphere as a literal entity, but the person as the “concept of a push”… The table probably lied somewhere in the middle.

The thing is, that argument doesn’t really hold up, because g in English has two major pronunciations.

Lol, hears gang and thinks minority.

You need to reassess how you think about people.

Excluding all the car-on-pedestrian deaths would be like excluding all the gunman-on-unarmed deaths, lol.

What about round corners?

I have dozens hanging in my closet. I’m sure I could take you.

The ATF is.

I think that would leave too many loopholes open. I think the most effective path would be to:

Schedule a progressive increase in fuel prices: End subsidies on fossil fuels Implement a tax that reflects the environmental damage caused by fossil fuel use. Add on a tax that provides remediation of historical fossil fuel damages.

Take that schedule, add it to the purchase and maintenance costs of a vehicle, and require reporting this total cost of ownership as the most prominent figure in all advertising.

I think you’re wrong about the averaging rules… This appears to be an update to the CAFE targets which average based on unit quantity across all cars and all light trucks you manufacture. You can’t manufacture 10 one-off “hypermiler” sku’s to offset your millions of cars.

That said, CAFE is still a worthless law that has ruined the American automobile market in more ways than one, and this policy update will likely do almost nothing to improve emissions.

It’s worth noting that the census definition of “urban” is almost completely detached from what most people would associate that term to mean.

Not the ATF, Congress who wrote the laws.

That’s all this does… Changing the range of “ok” calibers from (0,0.5] to (0,0.5)

“… In minecraft”

Jets are in many ways expensive because they can’t be expendible. They also make an bunch of compromises to accommodate keeping a human alive.

For the cost of a single f22, you could put up 60 Valkyries. I think I know which side I would bet on.

What if the pilot has a stroke?

I’m no electricityologist, but wouldn’t that make half your circuits 240V and the other half deadly 0V?

Fuck that, instead of making them increase their imaginary “up to” numbers, make them advertise contractually guaranteed minimums. Id rather have a 25 mb minimum over a 100 mb maximum that usually sits around 8 mb.

Yeah, percent downloads is particularly difficult to extrapolate for steam: they host a number of extremely popular “free” games, and are notorious for their sale pricing. In addition, they have (IMO) very generous policy for providing devs keys for use on their platform.

Aylo maintains a list of more than 28,000 banned terms in multiple languages, which is constantly being updated.

Id be very curious what these terms are, but I wouldn’t be surprised if “pizza guy” or “school uniform” would trigger a response.
