@thesquirrelfish @Oldfartrant @mmby @Beeks @therobburgessshow Inefficient and ineffective health care is a 10% tax on all economic activity in the US.

@chris We're somehow faking a physical process, the greenhouse effect, that can readily be demonstrated by middle school teachers on YouTube?

@Radical_EgoCom Any cop who can't safely pull a knife out of the hand of a 95 year old woman needs to find another line of work.

@lowqualityfacts I think you've outdone yourself here. 😆

@clive @toriver Unquestionably, we have automotive obesity. Driving my ordinary mid-sized sedan has become difficult because of the inability to see around all the suburban assault vehicles, leaving the remaining drivers of smaller cars like me little choice but to join the arms race.

@clive @toriver True, they make mostly pickup trucks in the US/Canada/Mexico because they are protected from competition by a 25% tariff.

@OpenComputeDesign @float13 I assume that #microsoft has heard of the Americans with Disabilities Act. #ADA As a senior citizen with #ADHD, I could keep trying that 13 hours a day until I died of old age and I wouldn’t succeed once.

@lowqualityfacts Swans are actually quite foul-tempered, making this border on the believable.

@wolleysegap @lednabwm It's notable that the most visible forms of Christianity in the US over the past 40+ years, Evangelical, Baptist, etc., focus almost exclusively on the Old Testament. Therefore, it's not surprising that non-Christians view the Bible with the same focus.

@Aviva_Gary @wolleysegap @lednabwm Because of the variety of authors and times involves, as well as the sheer number of words, the Bible can be cherrypicked to support any view or idea that someone wants it to support. It's the perfect book, really.

@johnmacintosh While I lacked the coordination to try this myself, I can confirm that it was common. #nyc #transit

@lowqualityfacts Not a low quality fact. Here's proof that there used to be a February 30th.

@futurebird Apparently, IQ tests periodically have to have the norm reset to 100 because of people do better on them over time.

@futurebird Not my favorite type, I prefer fitted caps. OTOH, I’ve never in my life had a bun or pony tail.

@sfoskett Since the software is infallible, pictures produced using #AI always reflect physical reality and safe practices. #camping #outdoors

@futurebird @Iragersh Complaining about the $9 congestion pricing charge seems pointless in a place where it often costs $50 a day to park.

@futurebird With the cold weather this month, I've been wearing a Gore-Tex/down coat that is over 25 years old. I bought it as an impulse purchase for much less because the price was good, but full price was $300 then.

@futurebird There is such a daylighting project coming in the #Bronx, mostly to keep the Major Deegan Expressway from becoming the brook in heavy rain. It's now scheduled to begin construction in 2026. https://vancortlandt.org/programs-overview/daylighting-tibbetts-brook/
