But the US had elections during WW2 and they where in exact same position as Ukraine is now!

Please learn from our history. And if not, don’t try to be USA and want to do it greater than any one else.

Stove vent hoods that don’t actually vent outside are fucking stupid

Some places you can’t (for whatever reason) install a proper ventilator. Then these with carbon filter will remove some things. But yes, they are far inferior to the full blow vents.

Recumbent bicycles are better in almost every way

No thanks. Might be nice for some long trips but for my daily use, I need something a little bit more compact and easy to load up with stuff and a kid.

Don’t know what you’re using but the tests of the ones available to me all shows very weak washing performance, some on par with washing only with water.

Explanation is, in short, that there is not enough washing detergent in the sheets.

I use the Phillips Hue bulbs and spots and I’m yet to have one die on me. Some of the bulbs has been in use for more than 10 years. However, I see my fair share of other LED spots that dies too soon.

Valve is managed by “everyone” (not all people are good at managing), everyone can choose what they want to work on being exiting projects or new ones, the company only hires senior people and anyone in the company can be part of the hiring process, they use their version of stack ranking where your peers rank your performance, the top of Valve does not want to be political even if the employees want to.

This causes Valve to mostly hire the kind of people already employed there (white men). High pressure on performance has become more of a turn down for especially women.

They probably run the company the way Elon Musk would run it - on paper it’s cool, but humans being humans with biases makes it not so cool.
