Brave Little Hitachi Wand

It isn’t a massive issue tbh. My wife wanted one. She’s had it since December and has only needed to charge it like 3 or 4 times.

A replaceable battery would be a good feature, but after years of different mechanical toothbrushes I don’t recommend choosing based on repairability. They almost all seem to just keep working for ages, and by the time something breaks they’re so nasty you’d rather buy a new one anyway.

Fun fact, my kid used to call them cannibal toothbrushes. Toddlers are fun.

There was a shop like this at the last town I lived in. I’d always leave with an absurd volume of things for the amount of money I spent.

I mean sure, it’s not the most daring stance to take on treehuggers… Still, beats being numb.

I’m glad we’re finally getting there. Hydrogen greenwashing has been on full blast for over a decade.

Money in politics is poison, sure, and we’re definitely fucked if it isn’t solved immediately, if not sooner.

I was speaking in the assumption that everyone here would be on the same page about that.

There’s a better way to frame all this: change comes from within. We obviously have to vote and pay attention to politics and speak up to our elected officials because that’s how “not being ruled by a monarch” works. But ultimately all real changes, even in the world, come from within.

You’ve got to at least have a seat at the table as a community, for it not to be an entirely predatory relationship.

It’s almost as if a proper energy grid isn’t compatible with private equity.

Yeah you’ve mentioned why. And they say economics is dismal

If you told me twenty years ago I would have a favorite soil specific meme, I’d assume I eventually went insane.

I did, but it’s kind of an interesting thought, isn’t it?

It’s a moot point. There’s no political appetite for such a ban, and those vested interests are fully entrenched in our way of life. They have to be done away with by other means, if at all

I might be in favor of banning for-profit social media, or at least regulating it more firmly and protecting consumers, and keeping people like Zuckerberg from using it to influence elections… Somehow. If that’s not practical, I’ll revert to supporting a ban.

So we’ve arrived at Gollum’s “we’re not in decent places” moment in the discourse.

We will stop the world turning with our windmills, just as Trump feared. Then the sun will truly never set on us again

Oh

That’s 21st century ownership rights

I love how this comment serves no purpose but to announce that you’re kind of a difficult person. Can we be friends?
