  Super surprised to see Publix leading this list.

  I’ll be the American in the fourth panel of that We’re the Millers meme.

  You guys have minimum standards?

  No. They’re extinct.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨family fighting⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think it’s unusual for voices to be raised in a passionate disagreement, but maybe it is and I’m just in a similar situation.

  The US will honor treaties when they are politically or economically advantageous to the leadership at the time. Everything else is up for negotiation. At the end of the barrel of a gun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US, India, Russia, Japan are building out wind power much too slowly for climate change, report says⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So it says that instead of doubling capacity, which we did, we should have tripled capacity, when instead we developed more solar, because it was cheaper, and therefore more to efficienct. Personally, I’m glad to see we doubled wind capacity, and spent money more efficiently on solar. I don’t understand why everything has to be framed as a negative. I think I used too many commas in that first sentence but I’m sticking with it. Honestly, you guys are lucky I’m proofreading at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An ounce of prevention: Now is the time to take action on H5N1 avian flu, because the stakes are enormous⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the frequency of deaths after infection would need to be an order of magnitude higher to move the needle on preventative measures. People just assume it won’t effect them when 199 out of 200 people survive.

  Best part is how we went down the exact same path 100 years ago and learned absolutely nothing from it.
