I didn’t know about this, and I probably would have been better off without it. Thank you, though :)

Are “steamed hams” considered water-based cooking?

Drinking borgs?

Some classes don’t require labs. A handful of people that I’ve seen will only show up for quizzes and still pass the class. Why they do it? No clue.
In particular, the classes I’ve seen this happen usually provide a semester-long list of what textbook chapters will be covered in which weeks. If the textbook is thorough enough and the course adheres to the text, it’s doable.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 5 days ago:
This is the game I used to convince my film nerd friends that games can be art too. They really enjoyed playing through it!
- Comment on Late 5 days ago:
Because following at home and teaching yourself the material during the course is different from knowing it all already.

You must drink copious amounts of water to convert into spaghetti and meat (but immunity to water intoxication).
It takes something like 1800 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of beef… but I feel like that’s too extreme for a side-effect. Anyone care to suggest a good ratio?
- Comment on Let's play this game again 1 week ago:
You can’t actually change time, just your perception of time.
If you can’t even think while freezing time, then your “side-effect” is just complete nullification. Not much of a side-effect.

It would be great for raw reaction time, granted you’d still have to wait for your body to catch up.

Your government finds this ability useful and decides to collect you for… testing.

When the ice melts, it turns into PFAS
- Comment on Lies of P is getting difficulty options to make the Soulslike more accessible 1 week ago:
The game doesn’t really explain this, but you get different dodge animations when you are using an extra light build. To me, this made the game feel more like bloodborne, which made the combat easier to read. Eventually, I ended up parrying everything instead of dodging, but I really like how the game plays in this state. YMMV

I did the same thing with mio energy (energy drink concentrate) once, expect it was more… intentional.
I was quite stupid then. Nothing like a raging headache and a pumping heart.
- Comment on Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody Wants 2 weeks ago:
The $800m figure is only useful for figuring out how much Tesla was expecting to make out of it. When you factor in the development and manufacturing costs, they’re hemorrhaging money.
- Comment on Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody Wants 2 weeks ago:
Hell yeah if I could get a free cybertruck I’d have lots of fun salvaging the motors, batteries, sensors, etc.!

Kind of? Milkis has this nice yogurty tartness that I don’t think sparkling water and milk powder can give you
- Comment on Here the fuck we go again 5 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on An oldie but a goodie 5 weeks ago:
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?
- Comment on Even his doctors are full of it 1 month ago:
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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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…

… you’re using the drive-in’s gravel and space… from the neighbor’s yard?
- Comment on Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this 2 months ago:
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.
