Probably inspired by the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company, or 3m for short

- Comment on "I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games 3 weeks ago:
I’d gladly pay 80 bucks for games, Ive paid way more than that in 40K, Warmahordes and Advanced Squad Leader.
If digital games would give me the same kind of “ownership”, like full access to the code and free reign to modify the rules sets as well as spreading those changes to friends and strangers I wouldn’t hesitate to spend similar amounts. However digital games, even physical on disks, has too many limitations as riders for that price to be motivated

Why leave Pi to mathematicians rather than democratically-ish elected leaders? Pi is far to important to be left outside of democracys sphere of influence

Except for some monkey thumbs that are toes… Apes are so clearly superior even in the thumb area

“Nobody knew it was this complicated” is a line I remember, not sure in what context it was sadly
- Comment on That explains a lot 3 months ago:
The sun is debatable, since I think we already use it’s photons both for photosynthesis in plants, heat (although we could get infrared warmth from the hole) as well as other benefits
Why shouldn’t we holify Jupiter? It would be a testament to our technological progress as well as helping us study black holes "close"ish by rather than in labs
- Comment on That explains a lot 3 months ago:
If we could make Jupiter a black hole, would that be stable enough to not radiate away? Other big body we have access to is the sun and I feel we would suffer more side effects of turning that into a hole compared to Jupiter
- Comment on Meow 3 months ago:
I love babies as a concept and the joy they bring their parents, but me and my partner are child free by choice, and part of that choice is us not wanting to care for an infant.

Any weapon not classified in a specific category goes under Knivlagen (Knifelaw). This also includes home made alchemical spray weapons and such.
Wouldn’t that plug any loophole for grenades?

Yeah, we haven’t had trichinella in our domestic pork animals for ages so we can indeed eat raw pork
The thread started about infected milk so I just gave an example of an area where the risk is minimal to emphasize that it’s a legislation or control issue rather than an issue with the food item by itself. I didn’t mean to attack you or imply that any other country is lesser, just that it’s possible to combat if the political will exists

If I’m in Denmark to drink beer I take the custom where I am. If the tap water isn’t good, I drink something else.
In my town we had a huge outbreak of cryptosporidium which poisoned all tap water in the city, so no matter regulations no place is guaranteed safe. That’s why you test stuff. If anyone find unhealthy results you need to contain, treat and inform to minimize damage and exposure risk
The reason we are known as arrogant swots is probably not our husbandry rules but our foreign policies that can be naive or straight up delusional (such as thinking chat control is net positive).
I don’t really know though since I have no possibility to leave my farm to travel, neither in time or monetary capabilities

It taste differently and it usually hasnt gone through the separation of cream from the milk so it has high fat content and sometimes fat drops on the surface
- Comment on ugh i wish 6 months ago:
Only time I’ve had raw milk was when I was a kid and visited farming friends, since they had a pitcher in the fridge from that days milking. They used it in cooking usually, but it wasn’t that bad to drink.
The laws regarding cow and milk health is way different in Sweden that most other countries though, very strict routines around testing. We can eat raw eggs from the store.

It’s probably a college comedy movie about how Archer got through school and on the path to captaincy
