We only finished repaying our WWII loans from the US and Canada in 2006

OP doesn’t believe in anthropogenic climate change and avoided getting covid vaccinations. It’s definitely about that and/or the conspiracy that we’re all going to be made to switch to an insect-based diet

I like to imagine they all just got exported to Canada so that a completely unrelated politician who happens to also have the surname Harris could match that denim cap to their Canadian tuxedo

Settling the tonewood argument once and for all with bonewood

I only found out about it because of posts on here several days after it happened. I’m glad I went to find the video though, it’s pretty funny to me that Chris Martin immediately called out that it was an affair over the mic

I have a double-walled cafetiere and a double-walled mug that combine to make a very pleasant slow coffee experience

As I understand it - with the disclaimer that I have no particular expertise or experience in the matter - it’s not quite as dire as that. Historically the USA accounted for basically the entire world’s production, and American reserves that are known and economical to access are getting within something like 50 years of running out. However, other countries have begun to produce much more substantially in recent years, and we probably do have enough to last a good while once the rest of world reserves are accounted for

However it is still functionally non-renewable and meaningfully finite, so we shouldn’t waste it

There’s some research done on aerogel airships. There’s still hope

Helium has problems of its own, sadly. Besides being a little bit less effective at actually lifting, it’s relatively scarce on Earth and it leaks even faster than hydrogen

The crew realised that they were in the Red Sea, were all briefly possessed by the spirit of Joseph McCarthy, and immediately began deploying aircraft to fight the commie water

It’s on its way, the Ukrainian truck is towing it

Wait shit you’re right. I will blame the fact that I got some vaccinations yesterday and was feeling super ill

Ahhh okay, I have a suspicion of which one you mean so I won’t say anything more about it. No, the thing I posted is a quote from character that OP painted (other than I replaced “time loop” with “painting”, of course)

I don’t think sharing the title is really a spoilers issue. After all, it’s the first thing any new player sees! OP has already shared it anyway

For those wondering, it’s Outer Wilds. Not to be confused with the Outer Worlds, which released at about the same time. Seriously though if you like puzzle games and piecing stories together, do not spoil it for yourself. The entire game is figuring out what happened; once you know, you can’t learn it again

"Personally, I like new experiences, and I’ve never been in a painting before. I mean, I don’t think I’ve been in a painting before this one."

Yes in the sense that basically everything you do is trying to uncover clues to figure out what’s going on. No in terms of the scale of the map. It’s very dense and compact, rather than just being huge. There’s lots to find, but you can cross the entire map in just a few minutes once you get the hang of piloting the ship. Just about every area has some kind of hidden spot though
