poo poo, my 2012 car has a feature where you just leave the lights "on" all the time and the car turns them on only if:

1. The ignition is running.
2. The sensors on the car detect that it's dark enough to need them.

This results in the lights basically running from the time you crank the car until about 5 minutes after you turn the car off the evening commute, so it's not a problem any more.
My 2008 truck has the same feature, with an option for "turn the lights on anyways" which only persists as long as the keys are in the ignition. It's real nice.

That's a stupid qualifier. The sun's surface is only ~6,000C, but the sun is ~15,000,000C at its core and ~1,000,000C+ in its corona (which surrounds the sun and extends millions of km into space). The sun's surface is the coolest part of or anywhere around the sun by orders of magnitude. To imply that the torch comes anywhere close to the heat of the sun just to get people to go "wow that's hot!!!" is pretty misleading imo.
But it was literally the surface of the sun referenced, not the inside. You're actually mad that what he posted was true.

For some reason my brain read that as fix-ants and I immediately stopped reading the post to daydream about how cool it is that scientists have engineered ants to clean up radiation, like that oil spill eating bacteria. Like you'd sprinkle some sugar on the contaminated area and your cute little fix-ants would would don their hardhats and go clean it all up for you.

Then I resumed reading and was disappointed :downs:
If it's any consolation I am disappointed that your reading isn't correct.

Okay fine Captain Pedantry, all of my everything is fine. Of everything that a doctor checks in a set of routine labs, 100% of it came back within acceptable parameters for a 32 year old white male. I am suffering no ill effects from my diet of ungodly amounts of food, except for the constant hunger that comes from having the metabolism of a 16 year old runner.

Christ you're touchy. I wasn't being combative at all, I genuinely do not know how I would lift a couch (being a long, heavy, rather unwieldy object) by myself without loving my back up. I was expecting you to say "here is a diagram" or maybe "you do this, step 1: X; step 2, Y; step 3: etc" but since something apparently crawled up your rear end and started biting I guess that's too much to expect.

Looking at that transcript is amazing. Somehow a dude whose college record makes him vaguely qualified to be a cattle farmer is in charge of the scientific advancement of energy supply and the radioactive waste disposal of the largest economy in the world.

Counting his grades, he has 9 Bs, 15 Cs and 5 Ds. Napkin math and my vague understanding of the way US colleges figure things out gets him a GPA of less than 2.2
I had a better GPA than Rick Perry, that's sad and funny at the same time.

Same but minneapolis. The last time I remember us losing power was when we had a storm so bad it was causing major flooding and ripping trees up by the roots, so I can't really blame the power lines for not staying up.
