You Am I posted:Czech car company Tatra used to have their petrol powered heater in the interior of the car Up here in the frozen north of Finland, I have Webasto fuel operated heater in my car. You can evidently buy one in the US as well see: https://www.webasto-comfort.com/int/heating/car-parking-heater/fuel-operated-heating/ It came with my used car, evidently installing one to an old car here costs around 2000 euros, but if you buy a new car its a bit less to have installed at the factory. It uses about 0,5l of fuel per hour of heating, you can set a timer on it, so your car is heated up when you want to leave.

i worked in palo alto for a while and people liked to blather on about the tap water being so great there for some reason. tasted the same as what i got in san mateo and san francisco, although i haven't bothered to really compare them since i'm not a weirdo.

our tap water is stupid hard (above 24 °dH) and while it's delicious, it breaks every single appliance and kettle within a few months if you don't regularly decalcify them

PineappleGod posted:Up here in the frozen north of Finland, I have Webasto fuel operated heater in my car. I have this handwarmer that zippo makes. It uses some catalytic thing that you have to kickstart with a flame, and then it just slowly consumes lighter fluid for hours and hours while staying really warm. Other than looking cool, it's I guess more useful for really long trips and such, because you can refill it, instead of constantly throwing away chemical warmers, or having to reboil the reusable ones. When I first got it I just kinda held it at my desk because "oh hey new toys" and "smooth warm thing in winter". Then I got a headache and read the pamphlets in box and it was like "lol don't use this indoors you will die from fumes." I'm really smart sometimes  .

Boston water was way better than palo alto water but that's probably their water comes out of the tap actually cold for 9 months a year

mrmcd posted:Lol these are in NYC too, which has fantastic tap water. their whole gimmick originally was going to be only having the water available with their app looks like they had to add a normal free button for water in order to get places to actually install them but their main sell was that it was supposed to be "look now you can fill your water bottle easily without having to tip it over or something to catch the arc!" but a ton of public water fountains had already been getting converted to have a bottle filler built in for years. l

ate all the Oreos posted:i live like 20 minutes from Zephyrhills, the place, where Zephyrhills, the bottled water product, comes from czeching their website it looks like they source from a number of springs all over florida and not from what tampa's using for municipal supply which makes sense for commercially bottled water - the point is that i'd be more impressed about your local water table if they bottled a lotta coke and mountain dew and whatnot nearby, since that implies that your municipal water is sourced from a nice confined aquafer that provides water needing v little treatment for odor and color, the two most notoriously difficult things to treat

Anyone know what happened to that Soylent guy? This article reminded me of him https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/5/16973432/biohacking-aaron-traywick-ascendance-biomedical-health-diy-gene-therapy Someone injected a live strain virus in front of an audience to "test" the herpes vaccine. It's like traveling back 200 years ago! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Jenner

Hovercraft posted:czeching their website it looks like they source from a number of springs all over florida and not from what tampa's using for municipal supply the point i was gonna make originally was that, at least here, all the bottled water bottling plants don't pull from the municipal supplies, they pay primo prices to rape our natural beautiful springs directly then i realized i was getting into an argument about goddamn bottled water and dropped that angle

Notorious b.s.d. posted:if you were a woman the story might have gone a little differently which while true is too broad a societal problem to be used as an argument against uber specifically, risks just diminishing it to "a few bad a actors" also, i mean, surely no one is arguing that uber isn't cheap and convenient? it is just that any look beyond that reveals some pretty nasty truths both about uber and the way things are going in general
