    I shave DE and this is an amazing idea. I currently use a sharps container, but this is so much more fun.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Not necessarily. It just requires excitation at a molecular level. You can get creative with your source. They have been playing around with low energy methods like LED or even just using the sun, geothermal, etc.

    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.

    While democratic ideas and practices were not entirely absent in Europe before the establishment of the United States, they were generally limited and did not encompass democracy as we understand it today. The American Revolution and the subsequent founding of the United States played a significant role in popularizing and advancing the ideas of representative democracy, which later saw broader implementation in Europe, particularly after the French Revolution and throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.

    Hamas has the maps and should use them to help evacuate people, but instead it's using them to ensure its civilians are in harm's way since many Muslims believe in martyrdom like savages.

    Obviously, the destruction of the planet was totally uncalled for. They should have been more strategic with their space lasers. This is an area that my people have better experience in than the Stormtroopers.

    Book Recommendations

    I’ve been doing keto for 20 years. Here are some books that I highly recommend: [Ketocontinuum: Consistently Keto Diet for Life](https://a.co/d/9H2MtWI) — Don’t read Any Way You Can. This one is better. She has an excellent YouTube channel. [Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health](https://a.co/d/7IZS5Hq) — This is essential reading as a precursor to the keto rabbit hole. It is a well researched tome about the history of dieting. [The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance](https://a.co/d/8rJnIVQ) - Well researched book on how to optimize keto for running. [The Ketogenic Diet: A Complete Guide for the Dieter and Practitioner](http://library.lol/main/D3507679E9627A2A3E5DE19602DE7F04) - A very early and thorough manual to keto with lots of information on how to grow muscle mass. [Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen](https://a.co/d/7cpmFdf) - An inspiring book on running. It doesn’t touch upon keto per se, however it is apparent to me that the Iskiate / Chia Fresca is fairly keto.
