In the US there are sub $200 reverse osmosis units. They waste some water, but overall the cost and convenience is better than water delivery or bottles. I used one when I lived in a rental with poor quality well water.

Wait... What? The article seems to imply that the water is consumed, but it's referencing the water used in cooling loops.

Maaaaan... I could never run for office. I'm not a Nazi, but they'd find my old furry art in 12 seconds.

Unfortunately, I do not know. If you find anything out, I'd like to hear about it.

Not good news. So I'm coming from a Florida perspective. The general wisdom here in the past has been native milkweed in the garden is important for the monarch.

After working at native plant nurseries, and now for the local government doing environmental work, I've seen the narrative shifting to no milkweed.

Basically, disease has become a big issue in our South Eastern monarch populations, and it turns out that gardens have become hotspots for it. Here is an article on the subject.

I personally stopped recommending Milkweed of any kind to people years ago after seeing the effect of disease in the nursery I worked it.

Aphids love milkweed. If you want a butterfly host plant for the southeast, I recommend getting a passion vine native to your area. Monarchs don't be really need more milkweed, and you can host more species! It is cool to feed the lady bugs, though!

I'm going to engineer an llm which continuously complains on social media that I don't have enough money to buy a new laptop until it drops below x price

My partner and I moved into my parents house 2 years ago. Rent was getting too high and we were running out of options. We all get along well. Early 30s, btw.

Participating in a para-legal political organization which explicitly excludes women from leadership roles and claims divine authority should have been the first red flag. Don't do that.

I wonder if you could just use your PC to hotspot when you need to use VR.

Yeah, right? I mean, imagine if YouTube when down and just deleted all the videos. People would be up and arms demanding legislative action. There would be endless lawsuits.

As a creative, you rely on platforms to not obliterate your stuff. At least not immediately. This guy has a horse in the race of this site.

That's not really what the article is about. The author even concedes that such a law would never, and perhaps never should, happen; rather, he feels that corporations will not adopt best practices of preservation unless compelled, and it pisses him off.

The title is deliberate hyperbolic. He's clearly pissed.
