- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 9 hours ago:
Or the Holy Trinity of Cajun and creole cooking, celery, onions, and bell pepper.
- Comment on Why are famous chefs fighting PFAS bans? 4 days ago:
Misen is the gold standard, but unless you are rich or a pro chef, the Merten and Storck pan is just as good.
- Comment on Why are famous chefs fighting PFAS bans? 4 days ago:
I switched to a carbon steel frying pan recently and couldn’t be happier. All the benefits of cast iron but a fraction of the weight. Just as nonstick as Teflon without the health risks. Highly recommended.
- Comment on I bought an Ender 3 V3 (corexz) recently, and have been having bed adhesion issues. Please help me interpret this bed adhesion test result 4 days ago:
Honestly, I gave up on dealing with bed adhesion issues on fine parts and just use a glue stick on the bed.

- Comment on Are all dinosaur fossils 'replicas'? 1 week ago:
Also the real bones are often too heavy to support in a display, so lighter replica pieces are used.
- Comment on A New Anonymous Phone Carrier Lets You Sign Up With Nothing but a Zip Code 1 week ago:
Amusingly I got a spam call last week that came up on caller ID as “Obama 2012”.
- Comment on how do plants in a green house get enough co2? 2 weeks ago:
Plants only absorb CO² and release oxygen when photosynthesizing, which requires sunlight. At night plants undergo cellular respiration where they absorb oxygen and release CO². Some sealed terrariums haven’t had any water, air, or fertilizer for decades.
- Comment on Bank Workers, Rejoice! 4 weeks ago:
Depends on the group. Iroquois houses were communal but Pueblo were more like townhomes. Other groups, like the Mississippian culture built individual homes.
- Comment on Bank Workers, Rejoice! 4 weeks ago:
Because they built houses. It’s not like white people invented the idea of home ownership.
- Comment on Bank Workers, Rejoice! 4 weeks ago:
The Pueblo, Iroquois, and other non-nomadic Native American groups might disagree about the colonialism part.
- Comment on I don't like this 5 weeks ago:
As a geologist from Illinois, I wish we had some Igneous granite. In my field camp we cored 500 feet of glacial loess.
- Comment on xkcd #3163: Repair Video 1 month ago:
I work at a highrise full of old rich people and my side gig is googling solutions to their tech problems. Things like unzooming their iPad, turning the child lock off on their dishwasher, or telling them their power strip is plugged into itself. They are more than happy to throw $40-50 at me for 5 minutes time that saves them hours of frustration or an expensive repair visit.

Black Lagoon
Action/Drama
Nudity, Profanity, Smoking, Suggestive Dialogue, Suicide, Violence
- Comment on Navy loses two aircraft from USS Nimitz aircraft carrier within 30 minutes 1 month ago:
The fact that it was a jet and a helicopter makes me think bad fuel might actually be the reason. It is hard enough keeping water out of fuel on dry land, let alone at sea. Then again, with Trump you never know if it’s something more insidious, like corners being cut on maintenance.
- Comment on "A computer can never be held accountable. Therefore computers are a valuable tool for law enforcement and the ruling class." 1 month ago:
That’s why cops love using dogs too. Courts have ruled that dogs can’t lie. That means if a dog indicates you have contraband, then a search is warranted, even if nothing is found. This of course ignores that it is entirely possible the dog indicated contraband because the cop trained it to do so on command.
- Comment on Beans 2 months ago:
If you ever get the chance, Vietnamese chè is incredible.
- Comment on Beans 2 months ago:
Red bean ice cream is delicious. It’s not that odd when you realize that vanilla, chocolate, and coffee are all beans and all common ice cream flavors.
- Comment on Why doesn't Hamas or Israel just meet at a predetrmined place and time and just have out or kill the crap out of each other? Instead of involving civs who don't have anything to do with war? 2 months ago:
Because that only makes sense if both sides are roughly the same size and strength. When one side is outnumbered and outgunned, it is better to hide and ambush.
- Comment on 'No one can find him': Trump drops from public view again after 'slurring' military speech 2 months ago:
Especially since if he dies before the 2 year mark of his term, Vance will only be eligible to serve one term, not two.
- Comment on America could have avoided all of this with a functional justice system 2 months ago:
It’s all been downhill since Florida rigged the election for Bush in 2000.
- Comment on Superhero stories have become less about saving people and more about fighting villains. 2 months ago:
I like how Invincible addresses this. He tries to save people but it always ends disastrously because normal people break really easily when handled by someone with super strength and speed. His best bet is to take out the villain that is the source of danger.
- Comment on Is there a drink with taste of energy drink without caffeine? 2 months ago:
Celsius has a line for caffeine free options
- Comment on proof of wormholes 2 months ago:
Their origin is a pretty interesting read too.
- Comment on Should you look for a relationship if it feels like a compromise? 3 months ago:
There are a whole spectrum of nonmonogamous types of relationships out there. Any relationship will have it’s compromise, but what those compromises are is entirely based on you and your partner or partners.
- Comment on Boobs <3 3 months ago:
An RSS feed doesn’t make any money for comic artists.
- Comment on Boobs <3 3 months ago:
Annoying but at least there’s a purpose. You can subscribe to comics you like and it will hold your place in the series so you can start up where you left off.

Correction - Has led, is leading, and will lead…
- Comment on Humanity will likely survive climate change, but the vast majority of humans won't. 4 months ago:
A large band around the equator will become unsurvivable. Hundreds of millions of people will flee to cooler climates. Countries will already be straining to provide food and water for their people. This will lead to wars for resources. Nations with nuclear capabilities will fracture and collapse, leaving their weapons in the hands of warlords and despots. Pandemics like COVID will become increasingly more common, not just for humans but for our livestock and crops. I hope you are right, but then again 5 billion might be a conservative estimate.
- Comment on Woman says faecal transplant saved her and could help many more like her 4 months ago:
Most of the body’s serotonin receptors are in the GI tract. We are only beginning to understand how the body regulates these chemicals.
