All this should tell us is that we have a strong irrational preference for right angles being aligned with each other.

Could somebody point out where the safe rocks are?

I would guess it’s to fool their prey.

Why would you ask this rather than adding it to wine yourself to see what amount you found satisfying?

You said

you would probably end up degrading your own experience; getting irrelevant ads

Irrevant ads = less targeted ads. You seem to think this is a negative. I’m saying it is actually a positive.

It’s a tax. We should have leaned into educating people about this simple fact when Trump first started raving about it.

I believe there is a trade off between grippiness and hardness. So depending what kind of surfaces you need to walk on, buying boots with soles that resist wear more may have a downside.

Cobblers will replace heels too. I realize this doesn’t matter if the trip isn’t worth it, but for future reference.

TIL: worms are metal.

Getting more targeted ads is not really in your interest. That is an idea promoted by the ad people.

I get and appreciate that joke. I actually meant the last phrase of the quote (the unintended irony of my question’s vagueness now noted!), “which can always be made more precise.”

Creatine is very helpful for reducing the effects of sleep deprivation. I’m not sure what dose would be ideal, but I would expect it to be pretty large, like 20 grams.

I’m guessing ICE likes it, it probably makes their job easier.

Because we’re anxious about our investments in soylent green.

What exactly is that last phrase supposed to modify? I find that syntax confusing. Is that ironic or intentional?

All of history is one people taking over another peoples land. I’m not saying its right, but in virtually any part of the world there is a history of some invader or colonizer coming in and displacing or swallowing up the existing people, probably multiple times, down through prehistory as well.

No, but I’d consider it for a large group of states. The US dividing into 2 countries is better than some other outcomes I can imagine.

Don’t be kinkshaming.

Hear hear! Shaming Americans for their preference for unhealthy food is pretty racist.

I don’t think you can prove that people can’t do something well, by doing it yourself poorly.

“Look how humorously badly I keep missing the target! See? Sharpshooters could never hit something like this at this distance!”
