I’m 90% sure regular sugar sodas are going to be one of those things we look at and think wtf were we doing.
A 20oz Pepsi has somewhere in the ballpark of 65g of sugar. That’s like a third of a cup of sugar. That’s insane. Our culture is wildly addicted to sugar and consumes waaaayyyyyy too much. It’s not just coincidence obesity, heart disease, and diabetes are so common.
Artificial sweetener may or may not be bad for you. Consuming copious amounts of sugar is definitely bad for you.
Obviously the best thing to drink is water though.

It’s a damn shame we didn’t have the foresight. But that could be said about so many things. Best thing we can do is move forward responsibly with the knowledge we have now. Unfortunately the greedy few will always prioritize their pockets over the well-being of the planet and it’s inhabitants. That’s the true fight.

While the means of storing energy has changed dramatically since that time, a DC battery is still a DC battery so aesthetically there will never really be much of a difference I suppose. 6V’s is the same power wether it comes from lead acid or lithium.

There's no evidence that aspartame does 95% of the shit that's attributed to it. "YoU mIgHt As WeLl JuSt DrInK rEgUlaR," say busybodies peering their noses down at my Diet Coke while on their sixth beer of the evening. "It's sweet, so your stomach thinks it's sugar, and your body treats it like sugar!" someone told me once, but as far as I'm aware, there's no mechanism for glycolysis to happen on aspartame molecules.
That being said, I quit Diet Coke to see if it would help me lose weight. There are no long-term human studies showing this (because nobody has done them), but there are mouse studies showing that aspartame encourages the proliferation of insulin-resistant gut bacteria. It hasn't helped at all, but I'm going to stay off the DC another three months. If there's still no change, I'll go back to it, because it tastes delicious.

These batteries are old, but are not original as the car was used in shows and demonstrations for quite awhile before retiring here.

Originally they were manufactured in Cleveland, Ohio but the company moved to Massachusetts in 1920.

That is a fantastic point and also heavily influenced it I’m sure.

You know what always blows my mind? There were only about 65 years between the first powered airplane flight and a man being rocketed to and landing on the moon. Crazy how much was accomplished and advanced in that relatively short amount of time (and how war and conflict and a geopolitical pissing contest were the driving forces behind such expeditious achievements).

I encourage experimentation. Try not drinking tea for a week. Do you have any caffeine withdrawl symptoms; headache, irritability, depression, nausea? If yes, consider pushing the bounds, try abstaining for several weeks. Compare how you feel waking up and what your presence of mind is during the hours you would normally be consuming tea. Try to get a feel for your quality of sleep; the dreams the first week coming off can be memorable! After all this, grab a cup of tea and see just how euphoric it can be. Our bodies are amazing things and sometimes we are rewarded for paying them a bit more mind.
All of this said, I am not a medical professional, take these words at your own risk.

Reply to comment by Cracraftc in Makeshift sign over FDR Drive, NYC that reads: Arrest Trump by supercoincidence
Or FBI agents in disguise!
But I dunno. However the footage used at the impeachment trial to try to get Trump impeached was edited in a way to make him look guilty.
The defense then showed the full versions which completely exonerated Trump, The democrats LIED again and again and again. So far its 6 years of lying about Trump.

I mostly gree with this, as long as you stay consistent and don’t give them credit for lowering it while saying they have no control over them going up.
However presidents do have control over things that directly affect gas prices, like controlling leases for domestic oil production and signaling policy changes like restrictions on fossil fuel use.
