  We’d call him Chef MIMAL to help memorize where the states were.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eat lead⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not to argue for creationism, but this argument sucks. Lead can be produced by fusion in stars, not just through decay of heavier elements. But even that’s besides the point, since if you believe some entity created the universe, surely said entity could have created whatever ratio of lead to uranium they wanted.

  (Not so fun fact: the environmental impact of leaded gasoline was discovered by trying to estimate the age of the earth using the radio of lead to uranium in uranium deposits, but the pollution from leaded gasoline was throwing the measurements off.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They say “anyone can become president”, but this will be the first presidential election since 1970s, where there is no Bush, Clinton, or Biden on the ballot.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Biden was Obama’s VP.

  Pfffft as though we’d be so sane as measure flour by weight instead of volume

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Super Mario Sunshine’s Biggest Mod Now Ready for Download⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a set of patches for the base ISO, so hopefully it’s pretty resistant to takedown?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No one has predicted the end of the world in a while.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you mean correctly? If not, there have been several predictions this month.

  There was a lot of talk relating the eclipse and Israel to the end times, and then last week there was this: A screenshot of a Fox News tweet saying that biblical numerology predicts the end of the world will be April 23rd, 2024. A date that is now a week past.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FCC scraps old speed benchmark, says broadband should be at least 100Mbps⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure this is going to be a net good. There are plenty of places that don’t come close to the old benchmark, and surely it’s easier to go from offering 50Mbps to offering 100Mbps than it is to go from no service to 25Mbps?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"YOLO" and "Memento Mori" mean pretty much the same thing⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they meant what they said. “Remember that you will die” does mean something similar to “you only live once.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just speak normally⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree, it would be cool if it smelled bad when people told time wrong.
