So… It doesn’t add up.

This goes to 17 sqares!

Doesn’t add up, either. Plus, you still have leap years and seconds.
- Comment on YSK: Israel is ethnically cleansing Lebanon 1 week ago:
Are you still going on about this? How often do you want to reply to me?
Or are you one of those Russian bots just spouting the same stuff over and over?
- Comment on YSK: Israel is ethnically cleansing Lebanon 2 weeks ago:
Which is, in all honesty, the correct way to cover news reports.
- Comment on YSK: Israel is ethnically cleansing Lebanon 2 weeks ago:
And what apparent side would that be, if I may ask?
- Comment on YSK: Israel is ethnically cleansing Lebanon 2 weeks ago:
Why would you attack me by implying I have alterior motives when I simply replied to the top comment? It doesn’t mention an “imperialist machine”, it states that there will be a world war against the US & Israel.
I simply stated that I can see no “good” allied forces against the “bad” axis in this conflict as in WW2 (let’s just say that, for all its own problems, the lines were more clearly defined back then). Everyone’s kinda the baddies now.
Regarding your sources: Wow, someone has certainly been busy. I simply haven’t had the time to read it all, but if you consider a paid journalist on a curated trip to the region and a professionally produced video series with apparent residents as credible sources, I am not convinced. It’s no secret that Bejing has a heavy grip on the media and censors basically all critical outlets. I do not expect any official account of anything bad ever happening there.
- Comment on YSK: Israel is ethnically cleansing Lebanon 2 weeks ago:
Oh wow, yeah if they’re at least undocumented it’s all good.
Just because Trump is basically the worst possible example of a human being there can be, I’m not gonna believe for a second that any other ruling politicians or oligarchs are saints. Just that those others have better control over the media, which Trump wants to achieve as well.
- Comment on YSK: Israel is ethnically cleansing Lebanon 2 weeks ago:
Just like tge rogue terrorist state Russia needs to be stopped in their attempted annexations and political psyops.
Or China needs to be stopped in their aggressions against Taiwan and ethnic cleansing of Uyghurs and other “undesirable” people.
I feel like there is no winning scenario left in this.
Who are “we” anyway?
- Comment on He has become a felon 34 times over, impeached twice, is there anything else anyone can do to get Trump out of office besides a storming the gates? 2 weeks ago:
People are literay dying because of him, Americans as well as others. Just waiting around seems quite unfair to them.
- Comment on He has become a felon 34 times over, impeached twice, is there anything else anyone can do to get Trump out of office besides a storming the gates? 2 weeks ago:
Do they have a phone number or email? At this point, I’d like some outside help.

- You probably need special equpment to conduct the laser test. Noone cares to get access to that or trusts the institutions that do. Anyway, the laser is fake, it gets redirected somewhere else.
- All phographs are faked anyway.
Their logic.
- Comment on Why is the USA attacking Iran? 4 weeks ago:
This seems like a very logical and reasonable assessment, but I always wonder, somebody HAS to know this.
As in, the bomber pilots don’t know what their mission is really about, the generals just follow orders, but who decides on this?
Trump is too old/stupid to come up with such plans, so who is pulling the strings? His cabinet? The heads of the oil companies? How deep dos this go?
I realise there’s probably no clear answer here, just wondering.
- Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 5 weeks ago:
I mean, that’s a pretty horrible case, but that video is a bit dumb.
It doesn’t show anything, really. There’s a fetus linked to a nuclear bomb and a skull arristically placed with some liquid around it people interpret to be oil because of the implication. You literally see such scenes all the time. It’s a bit of a coincidence that it was shown then, but still.
So what, do you think ghosts learned to video edit and animate scenes and fed it to some broadcasting network?
I would like to know what thar footage is from, actually.

- Comment on Is it possible that none of this is real? 1 month ago:
The idea is that you would just need to simulate that level of detail if someone actually looks. You don’t have to simulate any atoms if nobody can see them Computer games do this all the time to save ressources.
There is no real argument against a simulatin just as there is none against god being an alien, just the probability is not in favour of it.
But I also believe life is just kinda what it is.

- Comment on Button down squares at UT Austin 1 month ago:
I meant the text that was pasted onto the image. It’s perfectly perpendicular to the image frame, not to the paper it’s supposed to be printed on.
I don’t even know why it was done, but it’s edited in.

That’s a nice Photoshop you got there…
- Comment on How do you communicate "sorry, my bad" when you make a mistake while driving? 1 month ago:
This is SO true. I let a few people pass at a narrowing in the evening and they sometimes thanked me by blinding me temporarily. Like, I appreciate the gratitude, but just don’t.
- Comment on What's the best free version of word? 2 months ago:
Google Docs basically crawls everything you type into it and uses it to profile you. It’s in their TOS.
I think that’a pretry bad, but that’s what you get for using a free service, you’re paying with your personal information (and possibly that of others).
I can’t deny it has some useful functionality, but I just don’t need most of it personally. I don’t think you need it for 99% of your usual work.
- Comment on Wikipedia is now 25 years old — world’s 7th most popular website now has over 7 million English articles and 7 billion monthly visitors 2 months ago:
Maybe “visits” would have been the better term, I don’t think a lot of babies visit Wikipedia every month.
- Comment on The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down. 2 months ago:
Source 1 simulates that closing the toilet lid very much concentrates the droplets near the user instead of a wider area, so you either spray yourself or more of the toilet area.
Sources 2 investigates how the bacteria behave in vitro, without any evidence of any person actually getting infected in the process.
I believe you’re missing my point. I’m not claiming that it’s impossible to get sick if you hold your head over the toilet while someone else is flushing their diarrhea.
Just that putting the lid down is not some kind of magical thing that will make your bathroom into a cleanroom. And I highly doubt that any droplets you could even get in contact with from visiting the toilet after a healthy person should be your top worry. Do you also hold your breath after you flush?
- Comment on The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down. 2 months ago:
Quite the opposite is true, actually. I personally consider myself on the cleanlier side from what I’ve heard and seen.
I just don’t belive that inventing terms like “shit aerosols” is a reasonable way to discuss this topic, nor is it in any way scientifically accurate.
I would rather trust personal protection guidelines from people who are in danger of getting sick by working with feces daily than hysterical people discussing toilet seats. I think hospital staff would laugh at some of these claims.
- Comment on How to get greasy spots out of wooden cutting board properly? 2 months ago:
Are you maybe using some kind of processed oil with dryers?
Because I haven’t been able to get any natural oil to dry faster than maybe a couple of days to a week. That was on pieces of foil sitting in the sunlight with constant airflow.
So inside of a workpiece, I would assume it will even take much longer than that.
- Comment on How to get greasy spots out of wooden cutting board properly? 2 months ago:
Not the person you asked, but I recently did some finish tests with natural drying oils.
Besides tung oil, linseed oil, hemp oil and perilla oil, the wallnut oil dried the slowest by far (talking weeks of difference) and needs added airflow and UV light to make anything happen (tung oil and perilla oil even dry out in the dark).
Besides, there’s the slight chance of an undried pocket coming into contact with someone who is allergic.
In my opinion, not worth it with those great alternatives.
I might have used “bad” walnut oil, I had only one sample, but it was unprocessed, organic walnut oil, the expensive stuff. Maybe you need to use the refined, cheap oil to get better results for woodworking.
- Comment on How to get greasy spots out of wooden cutting board properly? 2 months ago:
“Rancid” is not really a clearly defined term.
As long as you use tung oil, hemp oil, linseed oil or perilla oil, they will harden to a solid finish.
They will become “rancid”, but then polymerize and dry after some weeks to a month. Hemp and linseed oil may need some UV light and airflow, so you’d have to keep it by the window.
Just don’t use olive oil or other cooking oils, they will just go bad.
Mineral oil will not go bad, but it rubs and washes off with time, so needs to be reapplied constantly.
- Comment on How to get greasy spots out of wooden cutting board properly? 2 months ago:
Just to clarify, mineral oil will never dry. It’s food-safe, but it will rub off just the same and wash out eventually.

Yeah, or maybe just don’t do that, because that’s not how physics work.
Do you think you are contaminated by something when you walk the subway in smell urine?
It’s just a harmless combination of gasses that we have learned to identify as such. It’s literally impossible for any “particles” to travel that far, else you would constantly get smear infections just standing near a public bathroom.
What people write here sometimes borders psychologic compulsion disorder.
