Probably has little to do with honey specifically, and more about eating/drinking something that has calories that your body consumes during and after exercise.

Yes, Arcteryx makes outdoor gear, but more along the line of technical climbing and backcountry skiing, not backpacking. Not likely to carry a needle and thread to repair your 3L Goretex shell. Of course the brand has been diluted to cater

Coincidentally, that episode is also 30 years old, and right before the clip starts, the fridge has just broken. So a fridge of that era cannot run 24/7 either. Here's the full clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v

Hopefully EVs are being purchased to replace existing ICE cars, in which case the falling price is a good thing since it makes them more available at lower price points. Replacing a car with one that is cheaper to run and produces less emis

I want to know the economics of this, especially since California is partnering with the actual company that's building and running the factories. Is this insulin expected to sell at a profit? Break-even? Or is California just spending

I always thought the emphasis on breakfast originated in cultures or times where it would be followed by a long day of manual labor. This also ignores that most European countries emphasize breakfast even less than Americans, and that the B

Most people who are buying laptops, especially at Apple's price point, are replacing an existing laptop. If they bought it within the last decade, they likely already have a USB-C charger capable of charging the new laptop. The people

There are a lot of subsidies / incentives for installing EV chargers, but keeping them operational is a different question entirely. Especially if they aren't actually making any money. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the

Calculation of property taxes are different across jurisdictions, you are talking like your rules apply to every system in the world. I believe in the poster's jurisdiction, property taxes are based on a percentage of the property valu

You don't really want inelastic goods such as homes (land value), food, electricity, or gas to go up in value. Those things factor into the cost of everything else, so the net result is that everything just costs more for the exact sam

Completely agree here. I came from a family that loved its fancy cars, but the practical difference between an average car and a high-end luxury model is pretty minimal. Until you need to fix the latter.

Possibly if the case is being used as a heat sink, but in that case it would be unsafe to touch. I think it's just being used instead of a traditional mesh panel.

There is already a law passed (AB 347), signed by Gov. Newsom, enacted in 2025 that bans PFAS in juvenile products, textiles, and food packaging. I remember because on January 1st 2025, a whole bunch of hiking boots (which are classified as

The military tests itself against "peer adversaries" but defined to be opponents that play by the same rules as the US, with a sprinkling of lessons learned from the last war. Any actual adversary won't "follow the scrip

In the last trade war (2017), the farmers got 18 billion dollars in bailouts. It's the same guy, so they're waiting again for their handouts.

Right. There is no reason why "AI-enabled" factories would be built in countries that struggle to build and run normal factories, and where the cost of materials is high.

The alkaline discharge curve slopes dramatically, so those batteries provide dramatically different voltage when new vs used. Devices may or many not work at lower voltages so any battery life is difficult to estimate. Rechargeables provide

It's a strange filter. With a single Steam sale, you could buy enough games for the entire year for less than the cost a new, single, full-priced game and would probably have a better experience. If you can wait a year, you can buy tha

It's some kind of awful compromise to allow more car traffic because it's less disruptive than a full four-way signal. Except it seems to have added a lot of behaviors that drivers don't expect or pay attention to. In isolati

The greenwashing has never been so blatant. Offering "Taki's snacks" bags and "Taco Bell sauce" packet recycling so these companies can claim to be eco friendly.
