We should just syphon all the water out of the ocean, put it in a giant still and use a massive rocket to move it near the sun.

Now we have unlimited steam energy and way more land to build things on. Winning!

Anything public yet and are they sticking to Rust?

Although it works out for these developers I hate that people can do this to avoid the full consequences of their actions.

Put the E at the front and a 3 on the end and you have exactly that.

Don't worry, at the rate it's going it probably will never see the light of day in any usable sense for the average person.

Basically yeah, it's cheaper to use chemicals other than what's approved to make a chemical vape. We were seeing a bit of an endemic of kids being hospitalised because of them.

It's worth keeping in mind these vapes were coming from the same place where even baby formula wasn't off limits to substitute dangerous chemicals into to save a buck.

Unfortunately not bullshit.

Here in Australia, just about every tobacco store was selling them under the counter to kids, often still wearing their school uniforms. Worst still, most of the vapes were dodgy grey market imports with undeclared and often dangerous chemicals in them as well as nicotine. There were more of these stores near schools then there were stores that sell candy.

Common sense dispenery laws for both vapes and recreational cannabis like Canada would make sense here too but our politicians are too beholden to corporate interests and think of the children fear mongering.

Chinese phones are generally pretty good and cost a lot less so it's not surprising at all.

I'd probably take the motorcycle at least and see if I can convert it to run on wood gas.

I've been watching a few American TV shows and it blows my mind that they put up with such atrocious working terms and conditions.

One show was about a removal company where any damage at all, even not the workers fault, is taken out of their tips. There's no insurance from the multimillion dollar business. As they're not paid a living wage the guy on the show had examples of when he and his family went weeks with barely any income and this was considered normal?!

Another example was a cooking show where the prize was tickets to an NFL game. The lady who won explained that she'd be waiting in the car so her sons could experience their first live game, because she couldn't otherwise afford a ticket to go. They give tickets for football games away for free to people where I live for no reason at all..

Yet another example was where the workers got a $5k tip from their company and the reactions were as if this amount of money was even remotely life changing. It saddens me to think the average Americans life could be made so much better with such a relatively small amount of money and they don't unionize and demand far better. The company in question was on track to make a billion bloody dollars while their workers are on the poverty line and don't even have all their teeth?

It's not actually this bad and the average American lives a pretty good life like we're led to believe, right?

Big if true.

Response from the Devs included, they're claiming this is just bugs which I really hope is the case.

Couldn't be more than $250 depending on the condition.
