You answered half of your own question.

“it would raise the value of rocket producers like SpaceX and Blue Origin.”

The other thing is a complete lack of jurisdiction. At least theoretically, nobody can go after them for generating grossly illegal content in space.

Also, pure hypermasculine fetishism.

There’s absolutely no fiddling.

You will likely need to get the thing connected by a licensed gas fitter. In the spring or after a long rest, you’re supposed to check to make sure that spiders haven’t nested in the burner inlet tube. (This is true as well for propane.)

With propane you’ll want a second tank so you donpt run out mid-cook. Even with a spare tank though, when it runs out you usually don’t notice until the grill starts to cool off, and screws up your timing.

For gas grills, I’m 100% on the natural gas side of the fence.

Agreed. Believe me, I’ve been fighting as hard as I can against the UCP.

And now Kenney is trying to pretend he supports Canadian unity, after a few years away from his dumpster fire.

While this won’t make a huge practical difference (can’t force people to buy the stuff), capitulating to Trump only lets him take another step forward. He will never concede ground or come to an agreement. He’s a bully, and giving him what he wants will never be enough.

Albertan here. Despite our government putting US booze back on the shelves a year ago, and despite being the most US-loving, redneck province in the country, US alcohol sales are down about 70% across rhe board.

Maybe. There’s a lot of conjecture in that claim.

Charcoal snobs are the worst.

Cooking on a flame grill is not at all the same as cooking on a stove or in the oven! Char marks and drainage lead to lower fat and better flavour for most things. Furthermore, you have the option of indirect heat and portable smoker boxes. I’ve smoked both brisket and ribs on my gas grill, and it’s arguably easier to maintain temperature and steady smoke than on my charcoal smoker.

I’ve got natural gas, and will never go back to fighting wiyh propane tanks.

Weber is probably your best gas grill option, but spend the money on their high-end line. A fair competitor would be Napoleon.

Alternatively, abandon gas and get a Big Green Egg. It’ll outlast your grandchildren.

Hatred, anger, insomnia, self-loathing, political action, arguing on social media, and profound clinical depression.

Not necessarily good strategies, but that’s not what you asked for.

Look up the very real group, 'Jews for Hitler."

Also, take a look at Rose Anvil’s channel. He cuts work boots in half and discusses the build quality.

I had a pair of Hanwag hiking boots for 30 years. When they finally died mid-trail, I did enough damage to them getting back to the car that they couldn’t be resoled. After trying every other boot brand on the market, I tried on a new set of Hanwags and felt like I was putting on some comfy old slippers. (With great support and solidity).

I expect these to last as long as the last, by which point I’ll be in my late 80s, and hard-pressed to do any more hiking.

Back when I was still buying things from the US, I got a pair from the Thursday Boot Company. Definitely solid, functional, well-built, and stylish.

Probably nowhere to try them on, but they were great on returns when I ordered the wrong size.

History. Nostalgia. Convenience. Also branding.

Sure, they might. And everyone will forget about it again.

But they tried to get away with this bullshit, and that defines who they are, not what they back down to.

What’s the profit margin over the next two fiscal quarters

That is the ONLY thing the government cares about.

sigh

Yanks.

You REALLY seem to be working hard to defend a group you hadn’t heard of.

And you are consistently ignoring the fact that this group exists only to fundraise for a cruel, dangerous, anti-science cult.

They shouldn’t be.

Space, especially LEO, is cluttered with way the hell too much garbage already.

Nobody should be allowed to put garbage up there for no benefit beyond CEO pocket lining.

Every single space mission should be carefully considered as a resource usage. Every object left behind in orbit should be scrutinized ten times as closely.

Fuck no. They’re a stupid, terrible idea peddled by psychotic grifters.
