Wow, a whole $1 million. They’ll notice that for like seven seconds.

AFAIK there is no known energy source that would keep a generation ship powered for the duration of an interstellar flight.
The person to whom you responded is half right. The speed of light is half of the barrier to interstellar travel. Entropy is the other half.
From Serious Eats:
First off, it’s true: mushrooms do absorb water when you wash them, but it’s only about 2% of their total weight, or, translated to volume, that’s about 1 1/2 teaspoons of water per pound, which in turn translates to an extra 15 to 30 seconds of cooking time.
“Soggy” is an exaggeration.
There are a lot of people who think, largely due to misinformed cooking shows, that you shouldn’t wash mushrooms, just wipe them off.
If you want them washed, maybe say “Hey, I can help out by washing those for you.”

This Bread I Break by Dylan Thomas
It’s a short, beautiful poem that laments man’s destructive relationship with nature.
for the last 14 years of my career, I was using stupidly overpowered Oracle exadata systems exclusively, so “slow” meant 3 seconds instead of 1.
Now that I’m retired, I pretty much never need to compress anything.

Tell me you’re young without telling me you’re young.
Paper towels, for most of my life (I’m old AF), were as long as they were wide. Square, they were. Bounty originated select-a-size by perforating them twice as frequently, so they were half as long as wide. Others eventually followed suit and now youngsters think that’s how it’s always been.
You should be able to to settings then focus then whichever focus you’re working on. Inside there you’ll see categories for people and apps. List any contacts and apps that you want notifications from during that focus. All others should be silenced
I love the smell of bleach.
Absolutely hate the stench of coffee. About the only thing worse is coffee with vanilla in it. Disgusting.
I’m not sure if it’s even possible to mix two sources with Bluetooth multipoint. I’ve never seen a device that could.
The few that I’ve seen that can mix sources have all had Bluetooth plus a wireless dongle and they could mix the two connections.
It’s a neat idea but it looks like the company doesn’t have the resources to create decent hardware to carry it out
You can sorta get close with MVNOs like Tello. I have a plan that’s $6.16/month, including taxes.
You’re sort of right and sort of very wrong. There are a lot of badly built mobile homes, and some very well built tiny homes, for sure. Unfortunately the large majority of tiny home companies have avoided complying with the national building codes and are instead building only to RV standards. That’s not to say they aren’t doing good work, but RVIA standards are well short of NBC in terms of safety and durability. That’s why you’ll usually see a disclaimer on tiny builder sites saying their homes aren’t meant for long term full time occupancy. It’s also why getting affordable insurance for a tiny home is very expensive and difficult.

That’s kind of true for Amtrak everywhere except a few dedicated Acela lines in the east. The rest of their trains run on freight rail and freight trains get priority.
It depends on which line you take. Amtrak has different service levels on different routes. When I took the coast starlight from Seattle to San Jose it was wonderful, with clean cars, great food, and courteous service. When I took the southwest chief from LA to the middle of the country, it was a completely different experience. The porters were still friendly but the equipment was grungy and frequently broken and the food was about what you’d get at Denny’s. Bear in mind that both times I was in a ridiculously expensive first class cabin.
I’ve never taken the empire builder, which runs east-west across the northern part of the country, but I’ve read that it’s a “premier” service, so it should be on par with the coast starlight.

When I’m playing civilization vi and I found a religion, I always call it “goatseism” in his honor.
I bought one just before the end. No ragrets. There are definitely some software quirks (the rear cross traffic alert always points the wrong direction) but overall I like it.
