"Think of what a child of the 1970s survived. 'Go play lawn darts with your sister, son. Then we're going to blow smoke in your face while you cook your own damn meat in boiling oil. Then you're going to put on highly flammable pyjamas in a house without fire alarms. Good luck.'" - Chris Jones

100→110 on the 401 means most people now drive 130, not 120. That 8% speed bump costs ~14% more fuel per km (drag scales with speed²).

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed,” he said. “This world in arms is not spending money alone."

Every week Costco lets me know all the dishwashers, ranges, and refrigerators they have on sale. Do people actually buy a new dishwasher because it's on sale? I buy a dishwasher because the dishwasher broke and can't be repaired. At that point I go see what Consumer Reports thinks. It's just... odd.
