Prove what? Mexico had already abolished slavery and the Texas white colonists had slaves. Texas also joined the Confederacy 30 years later. The Texas Revolution was in large part a fight to preserve slavery.

I actually liked the livestock show part of the Houston Rodeo more than the rides. There are so many different breeds of rabbits.

I played it on an Apple 2e in elementary school. I loved that game. It was great for improving mental math speed.

Riding a bike off roads usually on gravel or dirt. It usually doesn't involve large rocks or roots like some mountain bike trails.

There are bikes specialized for gravel riding called gravel bikes. They usually have slightly wider tires than road bikes, but are a similar shape.

A gravel ride in a Washington forest sounds amazing.

Call it "potentially lower carbon dioxide emissions steel" if you want. I don't care about the name, I just care that these kind of changes happen.

This doesn't just shift pollution, it reduces greenhouse gasses overall.

I understand your point that the name is not logical. I understand the states of matter. My point is that languages aren't always consistent. No one gets confused about the fact that gasoline is actually a liquid.

Silly? Languages don't really have strict rules on naming things. Why use petrol for gasoline? There are a lot of petroleum products, but we only burn a couple specific formulations in cars.

Ok, it's commonly used in the US. Different countries use different words for different things.

Do you meaning hydrogen combustion or fuel cells? Those are completely different processes.

Exactly, evolution doesn't design anything. Natural selection just results in certain traits that lead to survival of the species. In a different environment, humans may have evolved differently.

Support your last sentence.

Alcohol use causes about 140,000 deaths each year in the US. https://www.cdc.gov/alcohol/features/excessive-alcohol-deaths.html#:~:text=More%20than%20140%2C000%20people%20die,in%20the%20U.S.%20each%20year.

Cigarettes cause 480,000 deaths in the US each year. https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/health_effects/tobacco_related_mortality/index.htm#:~:text=Cigarettes%20and%20Death,-Cigarette%20smoking%20causes&text=More%20than%20480%2C000%20deaths%20annually,including%20deaths%20from%20secondhand%20smoke)

Over 600,000 deaths a year is far more than a rounding error.

We found out my kid was allergic to sesame after they are some hummus around one year old. It was a little scary, fortunately we have never need to inject epinephrine.

I understand that if it is the only alcohol you can get that taste wouldn't matter. I was just curious.

So how does it taste? Ketchup, candy, and soda does not sound like a winning combination.

I was booze to just mean anything with alcohol in it. I didn't mean hard liquor.

Anyone have a taste test video of fermented ketchup booze? That sounds awful.

I read the recall notice because I have a Bolt. You are wrong, it's just about the pretensioner and the carpet.

Why read when they can just post FUD?

It isn't costing Bolt owners anything. Recalls are covered by Chevy.

Airbags use explosives as well. I thought my car was on fire for a second after an accident until I realized it was just smoke from the airbag.

I have a Bolt in the recall. The notice said the remedy is to put foil around the seat belt pretensioner. I guess that will stop the gas/sparks from reaching the carpet.

That's just being environmentally conscious. Less mass in the air means less jet fuel burned.

TIL people forgot their biology lessons. Fruit has to come from some part of the plant.

That's crazy, I guess they come in different sizes. Opening then a lot probably doesn't help.
