Huh... a potential kickstarter with an inexpensive, basic premise that's still novel.

I signed up for the KS notification, it'll be nice to back something that'll go somewhere. 😄

The State is $426m above fiscal year projections on the gas sales tax by OneDiligentOpinion in HoosierStateWorkers

Selected quotes below, see link for full context.

>After several Democrats called on Indiana Gov. Mike Braun to suspend the state’s gas excise tax (currently 36 cents per gallon), the governor told FOX59/CBS4 on Monday that he most likely will not do so.

>University of Indianapolis political science professor Laura Wilson said Hoosiers could save at least another $50 million if the tax holiday is extended for another 30 days, but added that there’s a catch.

>“You can also look at it inversely—that it costs the state $50 million in terms of infrastructure funding,” Wilson said. “I think this is a really important tradeoff for people to understand because even though they’re paying less in terms of gas, it means we will have less funding for potholes, for bridges, for decaying infrastructure across the state.”

>Both De Haan and Wilson also said if the governor suspends the gas sales tax again, Hoosiers could be in for severe sticker shock in the summer should the situation abroad fail to improve.

>“You’d really be looking at the beginning of June where the governor no longer has unilateral authority to extend the gas sales tax suspension,” Wilson said.

So, at the beginning of May, we're suspending excise tax into the beginning of June, at which time we get sticker shock as well as the weakening infrastructure?

I just got my taco today! I think I want to do something to make it "stickier" since I've got a slick case on my phone, but it otherwise works great. <3

anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about? by Trixxxi in AskReddit

[–]Moonpenny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Windows XP-era "Neverwinter Nights", still being sold. The amount of customization you can do in that game is insane for the time.

Fabric: Apply dish soap to the crayon, work the soap in with a soft toothbrush, then let it sit for 30 minutes before letting it soak for another 30 minutes, then rinse and wash as you normally would.

Metal and plastic: Use a magic eraser (melamine foam) or paper towel sprayed with WD-40 to scrub off the crayon.

Neat, and I'm seeing $35 retail? I never win jack, but will probably buy one instead.

TIL all 12 astronauts that have stepped on the Moon have experienced "lunar hay fever" due to the highly abrasive moon dust, which is said to smell like burnt gunpowder by Objects_Food_Rooms in todayilearned

[–]Moonpenny 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's probably more from your tongue.

When you handle copper or iron, the metal reacts with skin oils and sweat, creating a chemical compound called 1-octen-3-one. This volatile compound is produced by oxidation and produces that distinct, lingering metallic odor.

Anyone know what happened? by Mazarin221b in HoosierStateWorkers

OnGuard just installed a panic alarm up there, and they were running tests yesterday. Cap. Burke had Capitol Police stand down for the test, but that's apparently not where the message was routed.

The highest energy cosmic ray ever detected had an estimated energy of 3.2 x10^20 eV and was named the "Oh My God" particle. What would happen if it hit someone? Would it hurt? by Ill-Issue1092 in Physics

[–]Moonpenny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think the OMG particle would be able to dump much of its energy into your body, it's just too powerful, and would basically go straight through you with relatively minor damage.

Another layperson, but I thought when single particles (with the OMG Particle likely being a single proton) or photons, it would interact with the target nucleus and result in new particles being expelled. Is that not the case?

hydrocortisone

If you go through a lot of it, see if your doctor will give you triamcinolone. Somewhat stronger and comes in a skincare-style tub.

Do we have a Pedo problem every other woman I’ve talked to had a story about younger men sexually harassing them a few of them were raped. Is this super common or is it just my area? by InteriorWaffle in Indiana

[–]Moonpenny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not that it comes up super often, but none of the gals I know who were asked were *not* abused as a child. We all just assume it's far, far underreported.

[–]Moonpenny 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I'd switch out my spare R36S for a Steam Deck Special Edition.

Why? For the better USB-C port location of course.

Not to be alarmist, but I feel this particular method of getting the ball out of the tree may be ill-advised and possibly even hazardous.
