In a society where people are routinely conditioned to tolerate evil for convenience, it's very easy to convince them to buy even greater convenience with even greater evil.
If someone can watch YouTube videos of young Congolese guys digging Coltan in an unventilated mine shaft without tools or PPE on a tantalum-containing smartphone that they're essentially required to own, then you only need to make their next thought "well, I couldn't have a smartphone without that happening" and now they'll accept any injustice. You just have to convince them that it's their fault and that they had no choice. Then you can make as many utilitarian arguments as you want.

The fun never stops! There's old siding under the modern siding. And the old siding is... let's say suspiciously heavy and fireproof looking.
They did the right thing, which is to encapsulate it. They covered it in a radiant barrier and then modern siding. I just wish that someone had informed me. Eh, maybe I'll just leave it in there. I've cracked a few of them while demoing the wall (good thing I've been treating all dust like it's hazardous) but it's not crumbling or anything. It's safer entombed in the wall than getting handled by a bunch of waste disposal folks.
Happy New Year 🍾

3 hours before I pop the prosecco. Guess I'll use that time to work on that damned office wall.

When it's cold enough, my car warns me "Ice possible. Drive carefully"
I think when it's hot, it should say "Ice impossible. Go fucking nuts"
I will never be as comfortable as this one, who just ate breakfast and came back to go full rag doll on the heated blanket.
It's crazy that the little Presbyterian church that I grew up in is livestreaming everything these days. I'm watching my mom sing with the choir from the secular comfort of my computer chair, lol.
I will not be sharing my thoughts on the Prusa OCL because I refuse to have any.
