They’re often treated with hormones.
I sort of misspoke with regard to watermelons -
Seedless watermelons are created by crossing a regular watermelon with 22 chromosomes with one that’s been chemically treated to have 44 chromosomes. The resulting hybrid has 33 chromosomes, making it sterile and seedless.
- Comment on imagine 3 weeks ago:
That’s treated with a chemical to keep it from making seeds.
- Comment on If we eat three meals a day, why do we poop only once? 1 month ago:
You’re right, I mixed it up. I feel like if it was LIFO that there would be meals that would never come out, ever.

Just wanted to point out that the colon is LIFO and not FIFO

The modern mind is in complete disarray. Knowledge has stretched itself to the point where neither the world nor our intelligence can find any foot-hold. It is a fact that we are suffering from nihilism.

It’s a real bummer interviewing these external applicants that you know won’t get the job. Like I wish I could just let them know, but we’re required to go through the entire interview process.
- Comment on Is martial arts really that useful? 5 months ago:
My two cents having practiced several.
Almost all of them are useful in that they are a form of physical activity. They can keep you in good shape, and can also help you develop discipline.
Many are more art than practical. Arts like krav maga or kali are more geared towards practical use (self defense).
There is also a thing you can generally think of as “energy” that arts may have that often trend to make them not very practical against arts outside of themselves. For example, if a wing chun practitioner attempts to trap with you, and you’re a boxer, it just doesn’t work. It’s somewhat about range, but also the general “feel” of the art as well. JKD attempts to deal with this by teaching different arts that can be used within different ranges.
My one instructor also likened martial arts to technology, saying that they must evolve over time or just end up becoming ineffective for self defense.
The best thing to do in a situation, if you can, is to just escape. Your wallet is not worth your life.

Lol, I just read that one.
Not that the MAGA crowd paid any attention to actual evidence anyway.

Conservatives are already starting to claim that legit photos and videos are AI, like Harris’ crowds.

60mph/97kmh is not that fast, though. 90mph/157kmh is pretty fast.
- Comment on Burning Up 5 months ago:
I think the reason people are saying that Fahrenheit “feels” right is because we use a base 10 number system. 1-10 and 0%-100% feel right to us because of this. If you somehow knew nothing about each temperature unit, but you did know base 10, I feel like Fahrenheit would be more intuitive. Obviously if you grew up with Celsius that would feel normal.
Disclaimer: I feel like the US needs to adopt metric already. It’s so much better.
