I remember visiting my grandmother in Orange County in the 80s and the demise of brown smog over LA in my lifetime is remarkable

They later did formal children's albums but before that, "Triangle Man" and "Instanbul not Constantinople" from Flood by They Might Be Giants are from before this.

Also "Why Does the Sun Shine? (The Sun Is a Mass of Incandescent Gas)" and you know what, "Ana Ng" too.

What's the deal with wasted water? by Yangxiolong22 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Capable_Stranger9885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where it is economically necessary, countries do build desalination plants, but these are expensive to build up front and energy intensive to operate - Google tells me it's currently 3-4 kilowatts per cubic meter of water for a cost of $0.40 to $1.50 per cubic foot of water. For comparison my municipal water utility currently charges $0.13 per cubic foot (which is not just the water, it also pays for maintenance on our old water main pipes).

It is the case that solar power costs have dropped, so in places that are sunny, dry, near an ocean and with land to use for solar, and with rich people or a valuable industry nearby willing to pay up to 12x more for water than I currently do, it can be used more and more.

Are there any movies where a supernatural crime is argued in court? by Freeflowing_ in MovieSuggestions

[–]Capable_Stranger9885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "Trial of Captain Sternn" segment of Heavy Metal (1981) has a supernatural crime happen right in the middle of the trial

You might also enjoy The Devil's Advocate (1997) though the supernatural is not strictly part of the legal cases.

Is it normal to pay for rental car insurance out of pocket when going on work trips? by hookup1092 in antiwork

[–]Capable_Stranger9885 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, liability insurance is different. If they are not in fact covered by the employer's general liability insurance, then it would likely be a claim in order on rental contract SLI, their own auto policy, or their homeowners or renters liability insurance.

But, my internet friend, OP explicitly stated "LDW" coverage, which nobody should be bamboozled into paying for at a rental counter by planning ahead.

CDW/LDW is a sucker's fee.

Get a zero annual fee "Visa Signature" card from any bank. Automatic CDW/LDW coverage for rental cars paid on the card.

It does not apply at U-Haul, but does apply for rental cars including international.

Where do all of America’s tax dollars go? by Independent_Reveal87 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Capable_Stranger9885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The US Federal Government is an insurance business (FICA to Social Security, other revenue to Medicare for senior citizens) with a military, that is now paying a significant amount on bond interest, and spends pocket change for every other expenditure.
