  • My colleagues and I are complying with the fiat handed down by Vought while trying to wrap our heads around these unprecedented actions happening in real time. But we’d really rather just get back to the work we are so proud of doing.

    But what is most upsetting is that this is all blatantly illegal.

    What the author needs to understand is that their job is now to fucking stop complying! If they actually care as much as they say they do, they need to ignore the illegal orders, work anyway, and literally fistfight anybody who tries to stop them. That’s where we’re at now.


  • Yeah, but this is more about implementation of policy changes affecting the Rt of the virus, lag between the rate changing and the detection of that change in terms of actual measurements of the number of infections, etc. Even if Trump deliberately appointed somebody to send out an edict that poultry farms create the ideal conditions for the virus to spread as quickly as possible, there’s still some lag for that appointment to happen, for the edict to be communicated to the farmers, for them to implement it, and then even under those ideal conditions the virus still can reproduce only so fast.

    I’m pretty sure I remember an episode of Good Eats where Alton Brown went outside and cooked over a charcoal chimney starter in order to get enough BTUs for a proper stir-fry, because American residential stoves aren’t typically capable of it. (And even if they were, teflon would be both pointless and harmful because it would (a) interfere with the fond creation/deglazing that you’re trying to achieve on purpose, and (b) off-gas toxic chemicals due to the high heat.)

    In other words, a teflon-coated flat-bottomed wok is just dumb, even for Americans. It literally has no reason to exist compared to a frying pan because you can’t actually do wok cooking techniques with it.

    Edit: I couldn’t find a video of the Good Eats episode, but this article corroborates my memory, at least.


  • And Honda was working on hydrogen nearly 30 years ago now, which seems poised to suplant batteries (again, maybe).

    LOL, no. Hydrogen has never been anything but a greenwashing scam. Even if it were all produced from electrolysis (and to be clear, it isn’t – the vast majority is produced from fossil fuels), it would still be stupidly cumbersome to deal with compared to adding some carbon to it to make synthetic gasoline.
