I mean Brexit predated the Trump election by 5 months

In hot, humid climates the toilet bowl itself will have condensation that sweats down the outside in my experience. YMMV
- Comment on I will not be taking questions. 4 days ago:
Toilet paper hanging haphazardly over the front of the roll provides a convenient place for a 3 inch spider to hide between the roll and hanging strip. The patent illustration is clearly meant as a sick joke.
- Comment on I will not be taking questions. 4 days ago:
Bad design. Toilet paper not currently in use must be stored outside the bathroom so that it doesn’t become damp and musty from the humidity. As opposed to on the wet floor next to the dewy toilet. This is how you get a nasty fungal infection fyi

The solution is to poach the best superusers from Reddit and get them to put their content here where it will be more appreciated.

Honest question could this be feasible with a few dozen satellites positioned above the Van Allen Belts to accelerate particles, and just letting the particles raw dog the solar wind and ride around Earth’s gravity well between each acceleration satellite? Cause that would be badass

Glowing blue or white is still safe though, right?

I agree with your point, but balaclava is the hat, baclava is the delicious Greek pastry.

Apprexiate the reminder but I remembered to do this yesterday, thank god!

I don’t want to ride a donkey down there, but also am car skeptical. Maybe high speed commuter rail in the canyon could be artfully and sensibly done for our weird superfuture. I bet there would be amazing archaeological and geological discoveries in the construction process! With the rail system in place it would be foolish not to build some kind of sustainable coworking space with integrated living quarters and it would be trivial to stock a bodega with wholesome, all-natural foods and beverages. Hiking supplies too!

Is 1200 years long enough it would be sterile? Like, no original bacteria or parasites?

- Comment on I don't like what I've seen, man 3 months ago:
Maybe less well informed days would be a better way to put it; before we had instant news of every bad thing happening, we lived in a kind of blissful ignorance.
Wasn’t violent footage of, for instance, the Vietnam War or civil rights conflicts readily broadcast on national news in the 60s? This was always my impression of the previous era as someone who graduated high school in the relatively sanitized 90s.
- Comment on Real-time, AI monitoring at work: Major brands are snooping on employee conversations 4 months ago:
Just a short jump to more invasive AI assisted snooping and analytics on spoken word conversations too.
- Comment on Walmart, Delta, Chevron and Starbucks are using AI to monitor employee messages 4 months ago:
As long as that’s in the employee paperwork it protects companies from some liability, but what about customer-employee or customer-customer conversations picked up by the system? I suppose a sign stating that video and audio conversations being recorded would further lessen employer liability but I imagine in the future laws about AI technology used on those convos will be put in place and the use of surreptious AI conversation analytics in retail environments will be more regulated. For now though it sure seems like a free for all and I wouldn’t be surprised at unethical use becoming somewhat common.
- Comment on Walmart, Delta, Chevron and Starbucks are using AI to monitor employee messages 4 months ago:
A lot of retailers are replacing their standard phone systems with products from Zoom and other AI transcription enabled providers. In environments with audio recording, its reasonable to assume that relatively soon, full transcripts of conversations identified to individual speakers will be easily obtained, summarized and analyzed by AI. This will hopefully soon come under scrutiny for violating both two- and one-party consent laws for audio recording.
- Comment on Do you think that there will be another event like 9/11 in the next decade in the United States of America? 4 months ago:
Tangentially, Covid was a 9/11 per day or more for like 2 years. It’s around a couple 9/11s a week now.
- Comment on Smooth area on the bottom of my balls 5 months ago:
I think I found what you’re talking about. If the scrotum was a clock they’d be at about 4 and 8 on the dial if you were facing it right? It is a very small area, like the size of a pencil eraser. 40+ years I never knew they were there.
As discoverer I believe OP gets naming rights.

It was only a partial reversal from what I’ve heard.

Wait I can buy 5 lbs of copper for 20 dollars? Making ingots sounds like a blast. Or coinage!
