Update, I did forget the vinegar. But then they lost power when I was at the till, the whole hypermarket went dark. It took closer to an hour to get functionality back and during that time I remembered to also get vinegar.

Thanks I’m heading to the store and wouldve forgot vinegar. Still might actually, I’ll see after I get home

Eh I’ve watched the HP movies quite a lot, can’t remember Hermione having a line like that.
But I do remember seeing a ton of “Love and Marriage” reruns in the late 90’s early 00’s.
I’m a millenial as well.
Also, Modern Family has been on for a long time now.
And those aren’t the only shows Al Bundy has done

I mean, they lay round cells, but because they layer them tightly, they get squeezed in, and form a hexagonal pattern. Possibly drying also affects it idk much about bee-engineering, apologies.

Sammy Obeid had a standup clip where he mentioned a stat saying that 1/10 Americans are millionaires today. If that’s true it’s a scary divide, seeing how many people 'Murica has homeless and in prisons.
- Comment on Samsung reveals first tri-fold phone 3 days ago:
This means that there is a wrong way to fold the phone, but the phone has automatic vibrating and visual alerts to keep you from doing that

As long as it’s food-grade, should be good.

I don’t think it’s completely unrelated though. I don’t claim to understand what’s actually going but seems to me that whatever winds are whipping about there could create fronts that are sort of similar as pressure as what happens with honeycombs. In one it’s just the cells themselves create the pressure whereas here it’s the giant planetwide storms.
Idk.
As a an interplanetary stormologist. Or a geometrisist.

Easily a week.
A month would be pushing it before I get new actually sizable chest freezer.

About 70-90% of my days are “buy nothing” days.

But time doesn’t mean growth, necessarily. A whole lot of companies are one man businesses, which don’t even plan to grow.
Hell, basically being an uber driver means you’re an entrepreneur with your own company, but slogging around drunks and pizzas all over town for 10 years doesn’t really improve the situation.
The punchline is that the person is loaded, yeah, but it doesn’t follow from the premise, and that’s kinda my point. It hasn’t been set up properly, see?
- Comment on I will just leave this here.... 1 week ago:
but those that move there, or are “settlers”, or endorse and support the “settler” policies are certainly land thieves.
Ah, so only a vast majority of them. Okay.
- Comment on Following your dreams 1 week ago:
Being the CEO of your own company really isn’t a guarantee of much, though.
If he sais something like “CEO of a fortune 500 company”, that would be a bit different.
- Comment on Why is ethanol so tasty? 2 weeks ago:
Depends on where you’re from and what the regulations are, might have been just non-denatured high% vodka essentially. As so much was needed regulations weren’t the strictest everywhere.
Anyway, I’m not gonna believe you before I see you take a mouthful of 80% alc and swirl it around your mouth and smack smack smack mmm. Without making any sort of sour face.
Because if you do, then that’s actually medically concerning, because that’s a poison and we have systems in our bodies to make us not ingest poisons easily. As in, that’s why we can taste bitter. Alcohol isn’t bitter per se but it’s a volatile solvent, and at those percentages it’s just not in anything way a taste. It’s a sensation.
I may be wrong, but I don’t believe you. You also say you don’t "really drink, so I’m thinking a younger person who’s had a small hit and enjoyed the aftereffects and can’t now discern them.
- Comment on Why is ethanol so tasty? 2 weeks ago:
When you talk about “ethanol for disinfection”, do you mean denatured alcohol? Because if so, I believe you even less.
- Comment on Why is ethanol so tasty? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I’m not gonna believe this before I see you drinking 80% alcohol without making a sour face.

- Comment on Had to look this up 2 weeks ago:
You’re right. Sure. We could do that.
Or we can just accept that the Wizarding World is actually made for children and not planned out in the same detail as Middle-Earth & Tolkien’s languages.
- Comment on Had to look this up 2 weeks ago:
I mean I’m on your side sort of, but in the books most of the Elves do prefer having a master and not getting paid. Which one could and probably should equate to slavery.
Hogwarts is like a super prestigious job for the house elves and none of them want to be paid or freed. Although idk who their master would be technically. They sort of imply it’s the headmaster at least.
Winky is just broken after she gets freed. Or fired as she sees it. A hit to her honor, and then she becomes a drunk when they go to work for Hogwarts with Dobby, but even then Winky refuses to get paid iirc.
But yeah there’s a lot of out of context things. Fuck Rowling but I still like Potter. Not gonna give any money tho

Well it’s essentially just herbal opioids, so yeah, it will make you dependent then you can ease that dependence by getting even a harder dependence from like Oxy or fentanyl.

The ability to physically harm someone is only relevant if a) one chooses to believe someone will harm or then, or might or b) someone expresses that they will harm the other person, or might.
That is to say, “a person you don’t trust”. Implicitly you trust everyone in your society, more or less. Or in your “city”, if you will.
Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Even if a power dynamic is completely equal, it still exists. It’s just balanced.
The ability to commit violence is at the very core of our civilization. Literally. There’s a reason we still call them POLICE officers. They’re the only people “in the city” (“polis” as in Akropolis, Annapolis, Marioupolis, etc) allowed to physically harm other people, and that is what makes them literally powerful.
Your reasoning only applies when you’re already in the context of “we’re not allowed to do violence or each other or the police will come and threaten me with violence unless I obey them”.
- Comment on Well that showed them 2 weeks ago:
I mean, insofar that violence is power, yes, the person with someone’s engorged penis filled with blood (the thing people need to live) between the sharpest and hardest parts of their body (teeth) armed with the strongest muscle (the masseter, the jaw muscle), does in fact have power over the other person owning the penis.
Power over life and death is very much “power” in my book, even if I don’t agree with it.
I do agree that they must have trust, otherwise it wouldn’t be smart to give that much power over you to someone else.
And when it comes to regular power dynamics, yeah sure it’s annoying they exist in the first place, but you can’t really deny them, even if they aren’t always one and the same. Not all men would be able to beat up all women, but in general, men have an advantage in physical combat. But that advantage is very much given away at least a bit when you put your dick in someone’s mouth.
Then again it could be a trans woman who owns the penis and a man doing the sucking, so like assumptions, power dynamics definitely aren’t always the same.
So while I agree with you that they shouldn’t be intrinsic, to most people they are.
My sensibilities are more in line with Deadpool.
- Comment on Also the day that the world found out that Hitler had a micropenis. 2 weeks ago:
I mean, same here, in a way. Rural Finnish town in the 90’s.
When my big brother first showed me the internet (once in the library as he had reserved an hour for himself) I actually thought it would be like a game or something, and was rather disappointed to see boring HTML sites. Why? Because everyone kept talking about “surfing the net”. “Browsing the world wide web” has much more boring connotations, I felt like. (Although back then I didn’t speak English so would not have known the phrase, but the equivalent term to “browsing.”)
Until my brother showed me how to find guides and cheats for games! GameFAQs.
