I’m not vegan, but sometimes I give a small thought towards the chicken that I eat. It lived a life. Maybe it had a personality. I don’t know. Some chicken had it’s end of life to end up on my plate.
However, that chicken in the aspic in a melon really did not get a justified legacy.

About the same with my vw passat.

Just throwing out a suggestion: choir.
Never tried it myself, but I have heard a lot of people build good relationships there.

I don’t understand. They are stopping posting in one channel in favor of posting on another. It just seems like a cleanup in diverse accounts to make it easier to follow nasa. It would be great if they moved to mastodon or any non-nazi channels, but the change in the tweet doesn’t look like much to me.

What technicality are we playing on here? Anything that contains water is a soup?

But then the conductivity perishes as the salt is being spent. Just add more salt, then?

I struggled to get through bioshock with this common pattern scattered around.
- Comment on Do you use your blinker in a car? 2 months ago:
I use it 100% of the time when the rules of traffic prompts me to use it.
Within a small single-lane housing area: I blink.
When exiting my driveway and the road reaches a dead end 100 meters in the one direction, so it should be very obvious which way I’ll go: I blink.
The roundabout in town which is so tiny that it looks more like an intersection, and when heading straight through it: I blink.
It’s so much better to have a habit of blinking and making unambiguous signals than to forget it. It helps with the flow of traffic and probably lets everyone get where they need to go quicker.

Barely anyone would go to the same extent as you to seek evidence. The target market are more than happy to see any citations at all.

I was in Spain, waiting outside a tournament venue for Magic: The Gathering. Two guys were talking, presumably in Spanish. I knew no spanish, but I could tell the one guy was really excited, almost choking back a laugh while speaking quickly and loudly before he held out his hand vertically, swung it left and right like a table tennis paddle while loudly exclaiming “RAGARAGARAGARAGA”.
The other guy was listening closely with a completely unfazed expression.
Their conversation continued.
At that point, I started to wonder: what were they talking about? What kind of conversation could lead to that motion and that complimentary sound to be adequate? Why was the other guy seemingly so unamused when the first guy was so excited?
This happened probably around 10 years ago, and it bothers me to this day. I will never know for sure, of course, but I have yet to think of a single topic which could reasonably prompt that interaction.

I love that you bring a great technical and insightful answer and then just leave with that my calculator is probably posessed.

I discovered that hitting something like C, CE and 0 simultaneously for some reason worked as an instant power off for my school calculator. Do calculators have such hidden off-buttons? Because I have discovered other calculators with other combinations.

It’s one of those things which would be pretty much impossible to prove, but it holds well with the effects we currently see. Electrons can annihilate by colliding with positrons. But the collision we see could be a single electron changing from moving forwards in time to moving backwards in time. It holds that it’s the same particle in the equations by cancelling out the minus sign of the charge with the minus sign in the time. So while we see a collision, the electron would just see itself changing charge and start moving backwards in time instead.
It’s a beautiful hypothesis, and fills me with chills to think about the electron “experiencing” all of history an unimmaginable amount of times.

I’m also bothered by very detailed QR codes. Milk cartons in my country had a QR-code for their website. It would be a ~10 letter url, maybe with a short path. But for some reason, the QR code was extremely detailed, as if it contained several kilobytes of data. I’m not sure if there were a large number of tracking-related parameters in the url, but it was very obviously unreasonably large.
