Kind of? Milkis has this nice yogurty tartness that I don’t think sparkling water and milk powder can give you

I agree with most of your sentiment, but if you can’t tell the difference between a clean 1080p image and a clean 4k image, then you either have a terrible display or you need to get your eyes checked. 4k to 8k is less notable of a change, much like going from 240hz display to a 480hz display.

I was buying lubricants and flux for putting together keyboards and other soldering projects.
My dad was like “look, I don’t know what drugs look like these days but it definitely looks weird when you’re getting multiple shipments of vials and syringes.”
And, honestly, I don’t blame him. It looked pretty sus.

Hypothetically, if all of his muscles were at the absolute minimum viable volume and density and he had an absurd body fat ratio, how different would he look?

Hello fellow 5’11 3/4-er. I gave up on it a while ago. At least even the thinnest shoes put me over 6’0.
- Comment on Infinite Monkey Theorem 4 weeks ago:
Hell, if you have infinite time and infinite typewriters, you don’t even need the monkeys. You could probably depend on hail pressing those keys, the argument still stands. As long as there are inputs, ever.
- Comment on For the First Time, Artificial Intelligence Is Being Used at a Nuclear Power Plant 4 weeks ago:
True, but it you change the argument from “this will happen” to “this with happen more frequently” then it’s still a very reasonable observation.
- Comment on Infinite Monkey Theorem 4 weeks ago:
I think too many people don’t consider the monkey is not supposed to be making decisions, it’s just supposed to be inputting anything, literally anything, on a typewriter.
Like a random value generator, for typewriter keys.

Hopefully it has nothing to do with their chip supply chain… I do loved that smoked cheddar chip…

The staedtler 925 is great. I think you might prefer the graphgear 500 over the 1000 though, as the rubber nubs on the 1000 are more annoying than plain knurled metal, imo.

I have been using 3 for the last 6 or so years. I also like 1 and 4. Can’t go wrong with 2.

The real solution is to find a parker compatible chassis that has the right shape, feel, and weight for your preferences. Then simply buy parker refills of your choice. Energel .5 is pretty great :)

Criticizes late-term abortions
Reacts viscerally to things that are real and legitimate reasons for late-term abortions
“I can’t believe you’ve said that, OMG, so gross, blocked”
Clearly, they have no capacity for thinking critically, or they are farming responses. Don’t waste your time.
And MaXimus, if you really think those scenarios are horrible, then imagine how the parents feel about the opportunity of not allowing a child to suffer in those horrible ways.

I wonder if we would feel the sudden disappearance of the centripetal force of gravity.
- Comment on xkcd #3047: Rotary Tool 2 months ago:
Just a random thought, I always knew that 33 multiplied by 3 is 99 and 33 1/3 multiplied by 3 is 100, but I never considered that 33 is 99% of 33 1/3.
- Comment on xkcd #3047: Rotary Tool 2 months ago:
Big centrifuges are quite scary. Think of how much mass they are moving at those speeds. In comparison, a small drillbit turbine being rotated by compressed air seems less scary.
- Comment on Steam now warns about Early Access that have not been updated in months. 2 months ago:
I don’t know about this, but only because Steam has a very unique position in their market. Lots of intense loyalists for Steam means long-term projects yield hype and reputation.
For example, the Steam Deck was a high cost high impact long-term project, and it wasn’t even in the interest of leading the handheld gaming market. It still brought them a lot of good press, and it also spearheaded the adoption of handheld gaming PCs - whether running SteamOS, Windows, or other linux distros - most of which are using Steam as the primary gaming library.

They just know that line going up steadily is more valuable than line going up exponentially until people get sick of your shit.

You made me doubt myself lol, I was like “you’re right, 540° neck turning range seems excessive so I should do a searcg”
- Comment on 360 Degrees Owl 5 months ago:
I know it’s a scientific paper or anything, but a quick search led me to Smithsonian Magazine’s article:
“Owls, on the other hand, can rotate their necks up to 270 degrees in either direction without damaging the vessels running below their heads…”

So what you’re is that power creep and meta chasing ruined the creativity in the Earth server?
- Comment on 360 Degrees Owl 5 months ago:
I mean, if they can turn 270 degrees in either direction then I suppose they can cover 360 degrees, just not from resting position.

Nope, still need that training data to sell to self-driving car tech.
- Comment on Disposable vapes to be banned in England and Wales from June 6 months ago:
Maybe I’ve just been lucking out, but every concert venue I’ve been to recently has let me in with my vape. I usually tell the security person I have it on me, and then they tell me it’s fine and pass me through. You’re right though, it would suck to have to toss it.
I don’t agree with the “smaller” part though. Most of the disposable units I see are thicker and wider than my refillable one, since they need to be long-lasting as a value proposition. I think the main draw is probably pure convenience.
