If you live in the right area you may already have one!

There's a reason I farm with old relics, they aren't "optimized" like the new stuff but they're cheap and reliable to keep running.

Most of my implements don't even have an electrical connection and some of the tractors have literally a starter motor, alternator, battery. Maybe lights if you're lucky!

Boss makes a million

I make a buck

I cut the converter

Often the best thing you can do as a business owner is to "fire" your bad customers.

Often 90% of complaints come from 1% of customers. The amount of manpower wasted dealing with the complaints is not worth the sales - and these kinds of customers are always so shocked and appalled when you tell them that you don't need their business.

As per tradition, the real clown car is in the comments

The sad thing is, the kind of peaked-in-highschool voter that voted for Trump and can be swung absolutely will care about how he smells. I can hear it now, "I'm not voting for some stinky old man" "I thought the diapers thing was a myth"

This kind of low blow absolutely will have effect if they can make it stick. A sad day for democracy? Definitely. But that's the media environment of today.

Also it gives opponents a chance to needle dick him in debates which will cause him to fly into a rage and embarrass himself. God only knows what TMI he might rave about, his bathroom habits etc. Even tiny jabs like "do I have to be the guy to sit next to Trump" have huge rage potential.

It's been awhile since college, but usually it just meant you got to delay the headache until later in the day

My farm tomcat is a chonky boy and he gets a scoop of cat food every couple days in the winter.

He's just that good at catching mice. But he's just huge and stocky, not fat... Even though we tease him for being fat

Are there any stories without sex/romance?

Dredd 2012. Judge Dredd takes on a female apprentice Anderson for a training day. They mop the floor with gangsters and crooked cops. It's a non-stop action thrill ride.

No romance. No sexual tension. They do their jobs.

Product placement has got to the point where if a YouTuber genuinely wants to recommend a product he's got to be like "seriously guys I didn't get paid for this and I even paid my own money for this welder, this is not a sponsorship, I just think it's really good and you should check it out"

Clearly you aren't old enough to remember why Usenet faded away in the first place. It was the first platform to drown in an endless torrent of spam and low quality posts

No, it's zero emission but not renewable.

Nuclear fission is actually by definition the least renewable energy source. Even coal and oil are renewable on long enough time scales. But there will never be more uranium than there is right now.

We actually don't have that much of it if we consider the long term future, only a thousand years or so. So nuclear is intended to be a bridge to eventual full renewable power generation and storage, an essential component in the present day but it's still a bridge.

Another thing to consider is that nuclear is the only power source that works in deep space away from the Sun. So if we're serious about exploring the solar system or further, we'd be best not to burn up all of our fissionable material right away.
