I eat all the toilet seats I want, that number is 0.

Seems like a good response to be honest- patron asks for non existent book, librarian informs them it doesnt exist, patron persists, librarian asks AI to write a 100page book with the requested title, then sends the patron the output.

I think that we should make law/ policy makers to submit to their own policies, with public oversite before they can be approved as a part of the process.

Bet she wouldnt be proposing this if it meant she spend 6 months with the public tracking her every move.

Bet chat control and those porn ID laws would never evem get drafted, if lawmakers knew it would mean they had to submit their internet histories and communications before they were allowed to vote for them.

Meant to leave that context for for our metric friends, but my post was getting long so I shortened it. In Fahrenheit, water boils at 212°f and freezes at 32 at 1 atmosphere. (Sea level) the conversion rate is 1.8°f=°c (after subtracting those 32 ‘extra’ degrees)

So at 207, his boiling point is only 5°f (3.33°c) lower than at sea level. Whereas where i was cooking, it was closer to 10°c - enough to considerably dry out anything baking for a decent amount of time, and throw a lot of baking chemistry off (anything leavening with baking soda, etc changes, and breads risk colapsing although that’s less about the h2o, and more about the pressure iirc)

The higher altitude, the lower the atmospheric pressure, and the lower the boiling point of water. At 3300, you were down to 207°f. I used to work at a restaurant at 8k feet and we were down to a boiling point of 195, which was enough to make things like, say brownies, noticeable dryer if you didnt compensate for the extra water boiling off durrong cooking.

We actually had a fancy oven for pastry that you could set the pressure inside of, allowing us to cook things as though at sea level.

It looks better for for tall or skinny guys to fasten the bottom button when standing. Especially on higher button suits like that, where it is belly button height.

The way I was taught, a suit like that, you treat it as a 3 button suit thats ‘missing’ the bottom button, and treat thw lower one as a middle button.

Especially since we have a model of what that society looks like, with places like Japan and great britain, most of Europe etc. They de-escalate to knife crime picking up the majority.

Hostile actors not belonging to a state recognized by the government.

Hence why russians in UKR are soldiers but Hamas are terrorists (and not IDF)

Even by that cynical definition though, calling nonviolent actors filming police is laughable.

(The PLA guys in great britian makes sense when you consider they assaulted an army personel woth a sledge hammer while commiting their act of sabotage which the news seemed to conveniently ignore in most articles)

I dont think they should be deported. They shouldn’t be free, and future admins shouldn’t validate the premise that any government has the right to make someone stateless.

Instead, we should convert something like GitMo and detain them all there- imprisoned, with no right to trials as they’re no longer on US soil.

Alternatively, we could take a page out of russia’s handbook, and conscript them into the army, make them a special unit, and send them all to Ukraine to be Frontline soldiers. They clearly co sider themselves to be pseuo military, and magas all think theyre combating antifa- well, RuZzia claims theyre only in Ukraine to denazify it- therefore all the Russian soldiers are artifa!

Sigmund freuds whole oedipus complex thing makes a lot of sense- not as a general psychological framework, but as a framework for freud himself.

Freud was the product of a second marriage, with a dad ~60, to mom being g in her 30s. His dad had 2 sons from that first marriage who were also in their 30s. With father was also a trader, meaning he was likely on the road a lot.

So, when a young freud looked to his brothers to model behavior from, he saw their interactions with his mother, an age peer of the opposite sex, as opposed the normal generational gap others see between their siblings/peers and their mothers, one that was likely a lot more sexually charged than the normal.

These interactions, instead of the normal age reverant ones, are the ones freud seems to have internalized, and then assumed everyone had, and based his oedipal complex on.

Now, tbf, both brothers were married, and iirc, neither lived at home during freud’s childhood, so the behavior could have been a bit less direct; at social gatherings, his mom would have likely been grouped in with the brothers’ wives, being a married woman the same age, as opposed to the married women his father’s age.

The brothers’ wives then, to Freud, could have been seen as sort of proxy mothers, and the effect is still the same; Freud could have seen his brothers pairing up with others in his mom’s group, and modeled his behavior off of that.

But occams razor still has freud walking in on his mom schtupping one of his brother during his formative years.

Try not to acquire any more on the way to the parking lot!

My cousin almost got kicked out of catholic school, because when they were covering this, she asked if there was any reason to believe Joseph hadn’t simply had a wet dream, and Mary rolled onto it.

Pretty sure they’ve, and other large chain stores have been doing this for a while for certain trades. Like electricians and refrigeration/ HVAC.

I know an electrician who did his J-manship under them. So he worked with the master electrician and they were the in-house team for like 4 districts, maintaining and upgrading 25 or so stores. When the electrician retired, he took over the contract, trained up another journeyman, before deciding he wanted to move to my town and start up his own company.

Our local stop and shop has the same for refrigerators- theres a team that gets dispatched whenever theres problems. They even have mechanics jerseys with a stop and shop patch on them. Although, because I live on an island, they do maintain emergency contracts with 2 local guys just in case their team can’t make it over.

My whole extended family has been using my aunt’s stop and shop card for decades, ever since she asked us one xmas to help her accrue gas points. The home phone number its tied to has been defunct for at least 20 years now, and my aunt died 15 years ago. Even the address thats tied to the account afaik (I suppose one of my cousins could have updated it) no longer exists, as her dirt road, origibally known as ‘old country rd #2’ was long ago consumed by suburbs and the farms around it parceled out.

I dont think this really fits as ‘the first rock’ in the metaphor, though. We all live in a privacy-less state, where anything in public has been deemed fair game. One Perpetrated by the elites and elite adjacent.

This isn’t casting the first stone, its picking up one of the many rocks already hurled your way and throwing it back.

Huh, TIL. tbf, ive only heard the line as part of Tom lehrer’s ‘send the marines’ (“to the shores of Tripoli, but not to Mississipoli…”)

Naval blockades sound like a belly- button problem.

According to felon Musk, the stock will onlly stay solvent until the democrats get back in control.

Was going to say, with a little photo shopping, this could become epic. Shop out the snow for tbe mouth if hell/ a flaming abyss, etc, and youve got a GOAT cover.

Im in my late 30s and kind of do that. But only when segueing between loosely connected ideas, and usually when trying to convey that my comment isn’t the totality of the matter.

Ending a response with Thanks… would kind of imply theres a But to that thanks.
