  That’s how you’re supposed to attach hinges to ironwood.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Also pretty poor, with shitty health care coverage...am I getting warm?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Because we’re not OK

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk has an h-index.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I recall being a grad student, and one of my friends was super happy their paper was mentioned. The context was basically “Contrary to claims by [friend et al]…”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meanwhile, on Facebook⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The upper teeth are solidly in the “danger triangle” of the face. If those get infected, there’s basically just a highway to the brain.

  Without dentistry, getting a cavity could easily lead to an infection, and without antibiotics, that could easily kill you.

  People don’t really realize how lucky we are with modern medicine. People used to die from all sorts of things we consider trivial today

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meanwhile, on Facebook⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Bad teeth used to frequently kill people as little as a century ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sushi delivery⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, serving the ends is kinda not-done in high class sushi.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sushi delivery⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Freeze, batter, then fry?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that risks to exposure of nuclear radition are often over exaggerated by considering a Linear No Threshold (LNT), which does not match with many studies.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  1: every professional knows LNT is wrong, but there isn’t an agreed alternative.

  2: there are safe limits set for people who work with radiation, so the LNT model isn’t actually used there at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨School pickup lines are wild⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely nothing!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Albania what are you doing? I thought you just made peace with Aberbaijan??? ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So, is the leadership fucking stupid, or do they expect their voters to be fucking stupid?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3159: Continents⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “isn’t it amazing how Africa and South America seem to fit together? I wonder what caused that”

  “I dunno, probably magic”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump urged Ukraine to give up land in 'tense' talks: Kyiv source⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The source added that the talks with Trump were “not easy”, and that diplomatic efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war felt like they were being “dragged out” and “going in circles”.

  So, literally the same as every single time trump says literally anything?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was I thinking?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Cries in failed to connect

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨got this ad and uh⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. Animals are also legally considered property, but at least they have some legal protection. Slaves had basically none.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨got this ad and uh⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ding ding ding.

  It’s not just a braindead insult, there are at least some actual antisemitic assholes in the pro-palestine group. They’re very much a minority, but they exist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Almost 70% of US adults would be deemed obese based on new definition, study finds⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, the “healthy at every size” crowd gets their wish, we stop using BMI. Somehow I doubt they’re happy though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Pete Hegseth Has United the Media!’ Only One Outlet Has Agreed to Pentagon’s New Press Rules as Fox News, CNN and More Refuse to Comply⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, even Fox said no?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not big on Voltaire quotes, but the one about believing absurdities applies here. If you life in a culture long enough, you start to internalize it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caw caw⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or flipping your nail back, that looks like it hurts like hell

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get a job 2025 political compass⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So, when I was in college I made a specific sort of (very very niche) video or audio, for pay. That’s maybe 15-20 years ago.

  It was actually pretty fun, but I never did anything in person, which probably helps. I’m (or was) not nearly as good looking as the women here, but I met the highly niche requirements and got paid pretty well.

  Better than my parttime job in the library (no, that’s not the niche).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get a job 2025 political compass⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One of the women has a price of “free”. You could try copying that price.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not enough throughput? well, that’s what upgraded belts are for. Still not enough? that’s what extra belts are for. Still not enough? see previous comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Punch Time⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Much more impressive too!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's true!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, you can totally have a lawn. It’s a great place to Do Things in your garden, and it’s better than bricks or concrete. I can’t host a bbq in between the shrubs after all.

  Just, turn the bits where you don’t Do Things into some other plant than lawn grass. At the very least you don’t really need those corners.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is real⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or 11 cousins, in a 2 person studio?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨cox-zucker⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not wondering any less now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re called chemists, and it’s more of a friendly rivalry

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steady⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  95% is the lower limit of being fine.

  80% is “You should go to a hospital. No, I mean by ambulance”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's just science, i guess⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Easy to state but do you have any proof of the connection?

  How about the abstract of the paper, which mentions “association” three times and “cause” zero times.

  Also, you can zoom in, it’s a decent resolution.
