Reply to comment by hollyhoppet in Why do we have kWh when we already had joules by flabberghaster

Well I mean specifically that a watt is defined as one joule of energy per second, energy over time. Then we multiply that by time and we're left with a kWh being the same dimension as the Joule.

It's like if we measured distance by saying how many "velocity seconds" apart things were. (Which we do in space, we measure vast distances by light seconds but that's not my point)

Reply to if u ever have to scrub something super nasty and caked on by skookin

A paste of just baking soda and water also makes for a good abrasive to scrub tough caked in soap scum from your shower, I find. It takes kind of a lot of baking soda to do a whole shower but it works really well, like diatomacious earth kind of.

I wonder if there's another option for it that works as well.

Reply to i think i'm just going to use amazon actually by twovests

Bookshop dot org may be an annoying site to use, I don't know. Amazon is also a spammy and junky website that sucks to use though.

I don't know who owns bookshop dot org but I do know Jeff Bezos is like, at best one step above being a modern slaver and Amazon is definitively complicit in genocide against Palestinians.

So like, yeah there's no ethical consumption under capitalism, I'm not saying bookshop dot org isn't probably also doing son shit behind the scenes, don't know much about them, but Amazon is absolutely one of the most malign forces currently extant on this planet.

It does have a very "check your kids' candy to make sure no one put razors or fentanyl in it" vibe to me. A very scary thing everyone is told to look for but no one has actually seen.

That said I have seen news reports about lawn signs with razors

I'm a boiling cauldron of white hot rage at all times about all things but not you in particular, for what that's worth.

Reply to In Defense of Idiocracy by twovests

In a way it's almost utopian. Everyone sees that their ideas are not working, they see the main character show up with better ideas, and immediately implement all his ideas when it's clear they'll fix the problems.
