Man, I needed a reminder on what SodaStream even was, I assumed they went bankrupt years ago. Thanks for the context.
Not buying a SodaStream: Antisemetic
I think I need context for this.
Jesus fuck.
I remember being taught this kind of shit, but like 3/4 of the class just didn’t give a shit.
It’s like my classmates who sometimes say they wish they were taught how to do taxes. We were, it was literally part of high school economics, it was a required class, we literally filled out the exact federal and state tax forms they now say they don’t know how to handle. It was a required exercise in a required class to fucking graduate.
I’m going to guess that either there are no standards to meet for those, or the standards also just happen to line up with the current cheapest material and construction options.
Or they are only covered by standards that are complete jokes. Like the fire standard I saw at my old job that a pack of printer paper would easily pass because it was just a time before burning a hole through, and the paper pack took longer just because of how thick it is (the time was like 5 minutes or something if I recall correctly).
Ugh, I’m getting a bunch right now that are like “we can help with SEO” and “let us fix your codebase” and “we can help with payroll.”
I’m a design engineer for plastic injection molded parts, exactly none of those are anywhere near what I handle, I wouldn’t even know who to direct them to if I had any interest in directing them anywhere, stop fucking emailing me.
Well, not that shocked.
I thought I’d be sticking with Subaru after how awesome my Impreza has been. Unfortunately the Soltera/BZ4X is a complete joke.
Instead I’m hoping that I can hold out long enough to actually get this thing.
I can’t check because I’m at work, but is that the Tom Scott video?
At least, I think I remember him doing a video on that thing, maybe it was just someone kind of like him.
Isnt train+bus just a streetcar?
God dammit.
It’s been infrastructure weak for at least 2 decades.
