Every time I go on the highway I am extremely happy to have a vehicle with radar cruise control. I use that poo poo constantly and it's both a metaphorical and sometimes literal lifesaver.

A few years ago in the Seattle area there was a major power outage/freezing temps, and the newspaper ran headlines above the fold in multiple languages warning people not to operate grills inside.

Especially after the winter storms of the past few years and you always hear about someone trying to do a generator in the house and it going very very very deadly.

Bethesda is still making good games so I'll argue that's not a fair comparison. Blizzard on the other hand has largely abandoned their properties to just count the money they got from MMOs and online FPS games.

A lot of people died last year in the blizzard last year in Texas because of carbon dioxide/monoxide poisoning due to a combination of "it doesn't get that cold in Texas normally", "carbon monoxide detectors weren't standard in homes due to lobbying" and "most of the people who died were immigrants who haven't learned things like don't grill indoors because of carbon monoxide poisoning"

"Insert" you say? https://twitter.com/scalzi/status/1483517676152668160 quote:The unfortunate tale was published in the November issue of Urology Case Reports, though it only seems to have garnered media attention this week. According to the report, the 45-year-old man had been inserting various objects into his urethra for some time as an aid for erectile dysfunction. During one such occasion, he and his partner had decided to use a straw attached to a can of weatherproofing spray, when the partner “inadvertently pressed the button deploying the foam.” The foam then shot through his entire urethra, even filling up his bladder. The man waited three weeks before seeking medical attention at an emergency room, during which time he increasingly had difficulty urinating and urinating blood when he did. When someone asks you to sound off, make sure you understand what they're saying. OH MY GOD I JUST SCROLLED DOWN AND REALIZED THERE ARE PICTURES OF THE REMOVED FOAM

It happened in Texas too quote:A number of the poisonings were fatal. A mother and her 7-year-old daughter died while sitting in their running car in the garage attempting to stay warm and charge their cell phone. A woman died while attempting to heat her home with her natural gas stove. Four men and a woman died in two incidents from carbon monoxide emitted by a generator placed too close to their home. Among the nonfatal poisonings, carbon monoxide undoubtedly resulted in brain injury with permanent cognitive damage in many. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outlook/article/Opinion-Poisoning-was-preventable-Pass-15997307.php

I don't know if I seriously believe in an afterlife, but I like to think about it because it makes things like this easier to handle. I like to imagine she's greeting dogs who passed now and doing more good things.

Tucker having a slight stopped clock moment in that if Mexico developed significant military relations with China - given our historic respect for Latin American self-determination - the USA would absolutely be loving with them. Of course then the clock starts running again and he starts explaining why this is a good thing because strong masculine leader good and you do not in fact have to hand it to him.
