  • There are also different standards when you care about the environment. Old school fridges used incredibly bad greenhouse gasses (R22 and R142B) and were significantly less efficient using approximately $250 MORE energy per year than a modern fridge (1750 kWh vs 450kwh) so only factoring in your electricity bill you could buy a $2500 fridge every 10 years and break even and if you got a cheaper fridge like a whirlpool you could get a new one every 5 years for 50 years

    Don’t get me wrong there is still planned obsolescence but a lot of the older designs aren’t as perfect as people like to remember them being



  • Imagine you rob a jewelry store, and you want to make sure you have an iron clad alibi so you have a person pretend to be you and get seen on video camera at a bank.

    Would you request that video in advance from the bank so as soon as a cop comes to see you, you can present it? No! Because pre obtaining an alibi for a crime you are pretending you didn’t commit makes you look guilty

    Writing the report in advance makes you look guilty even if it wasn’t murder

    Bypassing standard operating procedures and having a senior person (someone high enough that they are “worthy” of the knowledge that the suicide was staged) writing a report is also suspicious

    Having a report prefilled out so it can be urgently released instead of the normal wait time is also suspicious

    So we go back to Occam’s razor is the assumption that they ignored numerous basic attempts to cover their tracks that any idiot who watched an episode of NCIS would know to do, or did a person put in the wrong date?

    Again I am not denying in the slightest that Epstein didn’t kill himself but the argument that this is proof of it is ludicrous.



  • The questioning about this article is less about whether he did or did not kill himself but more so whether the date error is evidence he didn’t kill himself

    Even if we were 100% sure he was murdered, why would some lowly typist know about it in advance and pre write a report. Like obviously the admin is incompetent and left so many glaring holes but why would they tell a non essential person?

    At the end of the day it’s basically impossible that he actually killed himself of his own volition but to say that a date error is proof of that is incredibly flimsy


  • Personally love my lokiusa canyon puffy it’s my favorite commuting coat. It’s warm, hasn’t lost its waterproofness in the 5 years I have owned it, is pretty durable (I skidded out on the ice and ate shit on the pavement with no tears), and has built in mittens that are my absolute favorite thing.

    I haven’t tested it in a torrential downpour as I usually wear dedicated rain gear for that but for the cold it’s amazing

    It’s expensive as most BIFL stuff is but especially if you are in the U.S. I 100% recommend
