Oooo do pollution… no, campaign financing… ooooo rising sea levels! Yea, that’s the one!

I’m American, I can’t math. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So glad my family was too dysfunctional for this trend.

Don’t care what you call her. Bozongas! Enough said. 🫡

This is why I detest the concept and celebration of “technically correct”. No, it’s not the “best kind of correct”, it’s being an asshole.

Replied to the wrong comment.

I use this all the time in my day to day. Except it’s Ctrl-C. Sometimes Ctrl-Z + kill -9 if it’s being extra ornery.

Why wouldn’t you want butter over the whole face of the toast? What kind of monster are you?

That is such a hard lesson learned; being happy rather than right. It’s one I’m trying to learn more and more, and it has helped.

RIP Douglas Adams. He was an intergalactic treasure. 👍 🦏

Oh ok. I tried searching it, but you can thank modern day SEO for only showing me shit from Red Hat, Inc (the Linux vendor).

Edit: Ok, I’m super stupid. MAGA red hats. 🤦‍♂️ I need a drink.

Oh man. Trump plans on going full dictator if given the chance.

A military tribunal or commission is most usually used to refer to a court that asserts jurisdiction over persons who are members of an enemy army, are held in military custody, and are accused of a violation of the laws of war…. Military tribunals also, generally speaking, do not assert jurisdiction over people who are acknowledged to be civilians who are alleged to have broken civil or criminal laws. However, military tribunals are sometimes used to try individuals not affiliated with a particular state’s military who are nonetheless accused of being combatants and acting in violation of the laws of war.

Not all dimensional lumber is completely dry, which is why it warps and potentially splits. There are three ratings: GRN for having an excess of 19% moisture at the time of surfacing, KILN or KD for no more than 19%, and MC15/KD15 which has no more than 15%.

This is not necessarily common knowledge either.

Anecdotally, I have bought soaking wet wood from Home Depot before. It sucked because by the time it was dry enough to use, every single board was as crooked as a politician looking to get reelected.

Just so I’m clear, are you referring to the red hat as in one of the 6 thinking hats? The one about using emotion and intuition?

Edit: 🤦‍♂️

Not everyone was a fan of the non-compete ban, this year or last. Republicans and other proponents of the clauses said they help prevent trained employees and their skills from being poached by competitors.

Wah! Pay people better and treat them like real people and they won’t need to be poached.

This I knew. It should also be noted that when you use anything other than a paper filter (those reusable brass mesh ones), then you risk higher ldl cholesterol; not just French presses.

It’s no grosser than wiping with dry paper and then walking around with poop smear to stink up the downstairs area.

And I’m not saying that to be mean. It’s the truth. We’ve been brainwashed by the likes of Johnson & Johnson to believe dry paper can fully clean your butt after pooping. It simply is not true. That’s the real gross.

It’s high time we start talking about all of this. How else can we learn and grow?

It took me a little bit to figure out, but it’s all about the “aim” of the spray. If you’re not positioned just right, it might not be washing the area completely. But when it does, it’s so satisfying seeing a clean piece of wet tp.

My parents (and grandparents, I think) used to put batteries in the fridge. I did too, until I learned that it’s not a good thing to do. Something about the humidity.

I do freeze bread. Mainly because the bread I can eat (gluten free) is expensive and not easy to get in the size I like (there are sizes!), so I buy multiple and freeze the excess. I also freeze my ground coffee (I really should start grinding my own; with the horror stories I’ve heard about pre ground…). I do refrigerate butter, jelly, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, and hot sauce.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you. As a layman, I don’t always see the bigger picture. I cannot recall the specifics right meow, but there was some sciency stuff I read about the other day and I was questioning why they would spend money on that, when there are other things to figure out. Maybe one day their results will help with something else.
