I used to love asking for a can of Diet Coke … and then seeing everybody around me with that “shit, I could have gotten a whole can?” look on their faces.

the health benefits of remaining active and an optimistic mindset

Not to mention the health benefits of being fucking rich.

I own a 2003 International school bus with a DT466e. Not mechanical, obviously, but it only has 39K miles on it after a rebuild - built like a brick chicken house, as they say.

FYI the Navistar DT466 was mechanically injected until 1995.

Tires are another problem. One thing that makes me laugh about the recent Mad Max movies is that all the vehicles have brand-new knobby tires (IIRC the original Mad Max had a lot of properly fucked-up old tires). Since those movies are mostly practical effects, they needed good tires for safety but it’s totally unrealistic for a post-apocalyptic world. In reality they’d use old tires until they exploded - like most of the world today.

Refining gasoline is unlikely enough in these scenarios, but they’d have no way of sourcing the rubber for new tires, let alone the capacity to manufacture them.

Lol check out modern bikes with electric shifters.

Or that you wouldn’t last a year without your statin.

So I guess “musk impregnates influencers” would be OK? Even though that’s a lot more offensive IMHO …

Where on earth is “fuck shit piss”?

Not being a dick is free too.

And even if they do give out free tap water … they might not mean lead-free.

I live in the Philly area. Senior citizens can use SEPTA (buses and commuter trains) for $1 a ride.

I second the biking … but that shit ain’t free. Even used bikes cost some money to buy and maintain, and brand new bicycles are solidly in the “insane” category these days.

My local library loans dongles! Now if I can just manage to check one out without snickering …

Better or worse than rape-via-twitter? Better, I guess.

Making a million a year doesn’t mean you’re any less happy than making a billion.

Eh, I had a boss years ago who owned a temp agency. His income from the business was about $40K per month and he lived in a beautiful beach house and drove a nice Mercedes and ate out at great restaurants every day etc. etc. No financial problems whatsoever but his friends were all west coast venture capitalists worth hundreds of millions of dollars and he absolutely seethed with resentment at how relatively poor he was.

I’m 100% certain it is for Mormons, but I don’t know if it’s by Mormons or not. Based on my personal encounters with them, actual Mormon girls are way hotter than the girls in the porn.

Also a reminder that “Mormon porn” is an incredibly popular genre on Pornhub.

The explosive filled in these shells is fairly significant amount of their mass.

Not really - the explosive charge is less than half an ounce when the whole shell (the projectile part, not including the cartridge casing and the propellant) is about 3.5 ounces. So the explosive charge is about 10% of the weight of the shell.

when the cases of ammunition are 20% lighter than they should be

The entire cartridge weighs about 11 ounces, so a cartridge with an empty charge cavity would be only about 2-3% lighter than normal. A case would also include the belt(s) and the weight of the box, so a case of sabotaged cartridges would be almost imperceptibly lighter than normal, with a difference probably less than 1%.

I agree that story is likely bullshit, but not for that particular reason. I don’t see why workers would risk calling added attention to their sabotage by putting little notes into each shell - not to mention the writer’s cramp this would produce.

I just wanna lose my gut

The most critical part of losing weight is counting the calories of what you eat, so you know exactly what you have to do to lose the weight. One pound of body fat is equivalent to 3500 calories, so if you can manage to eat at a 500-calories-per-day deficit you will lose one pound per week (most people lose scale weight at a faster rate than this when they first start dieting, but this is water weight loss and won’t be maintained in the long term).

Will drinking less alcohol and fewer sweet treats put you into a 500 calorie daily deficit? There’s no way to know unless you start recording the calories of everything you eat on a daily basis.
