Max. Stuff.

"Outfit repeater" is such a dumb insult. Yes, I like my clothes and will wear them. You sound like a Tiktoker who does Shein hauls. Ratio.

oil painters watching watercolourists and acrylic painters pour cadmium, titanium, lead, copper sulphates, etc. down the sink because they equate being water soluble with being non toxic:

For anyone worrying about the paints they used in school or lessons: If your teacher did not warn you about the chemicals in the paint it is likely that those classes used NON TOXIC paints suitable for use by younger people and beginners. Non toxic paint does exist and it is widely used! However: when you upgrade to using actual pigments [like Cadmium Yellow instead of your beginner's "Yellow Paint"] that is when you have to start being mindful of the chemical pigments. Just because something is water soluble does NOT mean it's ok to dump into the water system. Go online and find out how to dispose of these chemicals properly!

The Gimli Glider is one of those stories where every aspect sounds more fake than the last and yet it all actually happened.

-A passenger plane was underloaded with fuel because Canada had just converted to the metric system and everyone supposed to double check their numbers got it wrong. -When the plane ran out of fuel they were too far away to make it to an in-service airport and had to head towards the Gimli military base.  Which was shuttered. -They were coming in to fast due to a lack of flaps control and had to perform a series of slips (as shown in the video above) to slow down, basically drifting a giant passenger plane. -As they come down they realized that just because Gimli’s been decommissioned doesn’t mean it’s abandoned because a bunch of people are having drag races on the runway they’re about to need. -Despite everything they managed to land safely and no one was killed or even hurt which is why it’s one of the best air disasters to meme on.

The Wikipedia page on this is fantastic and my favorite line from it is “Flying with all engines out was never expected to occur, so it had never been covered in training.”

#1 thing I notice trans people forget to change after just a social name change is their voicemail recording!

I feel like a good shorthand for a lot of economics arguments is "if you want people to work minimum wage jobs in your city, you need to allow minimum wage apartments for them to live in."

"These jobs are just for teenagers on the weekends." Okay, so you'll use minimum wage services only on the weekends and after school. No McDonald's or Starbucks on your lunch break.

"They can get a roommate." For a one bedroom? A roommate for a one bedroom? Or a studio? Do you have a roommate to get a middle-wage apartment for your middle-wage job? No? Why should they?

"They can live farther from city center and just commute." Are there ways for them to commute that don't equate to that rent? Living in an outer borough might work in NYC, where public transport is a flat rate, but a city in Texas requires a car. Does the money saved in rent equal the money spent on the car loan, the insurance, the gas? Remember, if you want people to take the bus or a bike, the bus needs to be reliable and the bike lanes survivable.

If you want minimum wage workers to be around for you to rely on, then those minimum wage workers need a place to stay.

You either raise the minimum wage, or you drop the rent. There's only so long you can keep rents high and wages low before your workforce leaves for cheaper pastures.

"Nobody wants to work anymore" doesn't hold water if the reason nobody applies is because the commute is impossible at the wage you provide.
