Either enjoy with three friend or use it solo and go four times as long between cleanings.

Hey now, if you can tell me how light travels between two points without being facilitated by an entirely undetectable medium, I’m ALL ears.

JFC, how many times do I need to explain the workings of luminiferous aether?

Serious time: we actually did briefly learn about all types of debunked theories in university, but as a component of the historical progression of contemporary theories.

It’s “full self driving (supervised)” last I checked.

Single cab trucks prioritize cargo space over seating space, generally having only a single bench seat that fits 2 adults and a child, or three often uncomfortable adults. This truck prioritizes cargo space to a much greater degree, having only a single seat, so it’s aggressively “single cab”.

Haha, 100%. I’m a scientist, I haven’t believed in phlogiston in years!

I haven’t had a single quest. What if we’re just his NPCs?

Those are stir bars.

That they’re magnetic is propaganda to push magnetic field bunk to sell more so-called “magnets”. Stir bars are moved by phlogiston, which is why the liquid medium is often heated in tandem.

One of ours does this. I object, so I just breeze past the security guard without listening or making eye contact.

I still remember the rage I felt when I first realized that the United States justice system is fundamentally adversarial. Prosecuting attorneys don’t want to find the truth of the matter. The build the strongest case possible and it’s on the defendant to prove they’re wrong. Attorneys are supposed to take into account all available evidence, but have no obligation to seek additional information that could exonerate the defendant, even if it’s clear such information exists.

It’s absolutely fucked.

It’s a CT (computerized tomography) scan. It still uses X-rays but the results are in 3D so one can view “slices” of the image from different perspectives.

The sternum is in the the same plane as the spine from this angle, so that’s why there’s only the slightest hint of a ribcage and only the sternum - this slice is well past rib bones.

Similarly the shoulder is much closer to the viewer’s perspective in the 3d model, so it’s not shown at all.

Edit: misinterpreted CT slice location.

Great explanation, well done!

Doing this in the theater was awesome, but it was difficult getting a responsible sober person to shepherd a group of people tripping balls safely there and back. That’s a much harder job than many people realize.

I struggled with this but eventually figured how to communicate shared experience to show true understanding without hijacking the conversation.

I used to tell my similar story in detail, so we were basically story swapping. This is fine if you’re just chatting, but not if the other person wants support or validation. There the key is letting them steer the conversation where they need it to go.

Instead of a story dump, I’ll use a brief response, two sentences at most. For example, if someone is anxious because their dog ran away, it’s as simple as “I once had a pet go missing and I remember how hard that was for me. I’m so sorry.” Then I let them respond and will only expand on what they ask about.

I’ve been gambling before and it was fun when I won money. The thing is I know how, with few exceptions with games like poker and blackjack (and only then if you’re skilled), you will ALWAYS lose more money than you win over long enough of a time period.

I’m a big, walking math machine, though, so I’ve been the person getting a little too tipsy at the roulette table and telling everyone exactly how probability works and that numbers are never “hot”. The roulette dealer was surprisingly amused.

OMG this is great. Thanks for the recommendation!

I use a name brand rust inhibitor spray and it’s fantastic.

It’s also not necessarily indicative of anything. $100M is nothing for Zuckerberg, about 0.05% of his estimated net worth.

For context, excluding billionaires, your average 42 year old American (Zuckerberg’s age) is worth about $135k*. 0.05% of $135k is about $68.

Given the choice, would you spend $68 to completely cover you just in case the world falls apart? Most people would. I certainly would.

*That still includes some pretty wealthy people that skew it higher, so don’t feel bad if you’re not even close in net worth. I’m sure not!

Yep, it’s all cumulative. I think the “weight loss is in the kitchen” advice helps those who don’t understand weight loss is a function of net calories, so start exercising and eat more because they think exercise somehow magically makes weight go away. If only I had a nickel for every time I heard “weight lifting converts fat into muscle” over the years…

My aunt is a great example. She started doing daily walks to lose weight but picked up a “healthy protein smoothie” from a local coffee shop on the way home. She slowly gained weight because they were more like milkshakes and easily had 500+ calories per serving.

It’s also a great game if you like solving complicated puzzles. Last I knew, there are some that are still unsolved.
