Why did you make the stupid decision to take private loans?

Dude, you wouldn't believe what kids are told. My former assistant at a previous job was literally encouraged by his parents to take out personal loans instead of education loans because they were extremely fiscally uneducated and were trying to help their son get a loan without knowing the difference. And being a young teen, he didn't know any better than to listen to his parents when they suggested where to get a loan and such.

I was in higher education for ten years. I paid my way through using a combination of private savings, and eventually my father convinced my boss to pay for my education if he wanted me to work full time (I was a REALLY good employee at his small business). I fortunately graduated debt-free unlike most of my peers.

Yes, I worked my way through, and I "earned" my degree the hard way (I made my boss millions through my own hard work for his company so I earned that degree).

But, I still 100% support any kind of student debt relief for everyone struggling to pay off student debt. It's called wanting a better life for my fellow human. That money in their wallet would be better spent in the local economy, not paid to some mega bank corporation swallowing up interest on student debt.

I guess I just have compassion for my fellow human being over some ruthless corporation.

Dang, I know that when Manganese oxidizes, it turns water green. I've seen photos of some people's hot tubs when they fill it, shock it, then watch as the water turns green. No amount of chlorine can get it clear again - because it's not algae but usually oxidized manganese. Some of the tub's I've seen are VERY green like swamp water green, it's crazy.

Fortunately manganese can be sequestered from the hot tub to eliminate the issue. But I wasn't aware it was so bad for your health!

I mean given the price, for half a second I considered a Model3 for my partner. But the fact that the Muskrat still owns the company and the notoriously bad build quality were all the reasons I needed to pass on the idea.

Few ideas -

  • Avocados (great texture, not very sweet so other flavors would still stand out)
  • Greek yogurt (easy choice for any smoothie with or without bananas haha)
  • Mangoes (some varieties are fiberless and blend smooth with a nice consistency)
  • cooked sweet potatoes (let cool down to room temp before blending!)
  • coconut cream (a small amount can add a creamy texture)
  • peanutbutter (or other nut butters) can add thickness to a smoothie.

I love these types of articles. I feel like there should be a community for these, but I don't know what it'd be called

Back when this incident first happened, there was a few articles posted that day, and someone posted a reply on one of the threads, but I'm too lazy to find it now.

Basically they said they worked at a university research lab where Rush was conducing pressurized testing on the capsule (seals and such). They'd conduct half a dozen tests in one day, have one "success" and Rush's team would call it a "success" and move on to the next test.
