  • Which is hilarious, as the eponymous Culture is the epitome of luxury gay space anarchism. Pan-sexual, non-monogamous space hippies that can (and do) change their biological sex just by thinking about it. People so past the idea of “gender” that they consider giving any serious weight to the concept barbaric.

    I know it’s a rhetorical question: but is Elon stupid or something?

    Age and activity level absolutely effect how “tough” meat is. I’ve raised and cooked both heritage breed chickens and modern broilers. The former take 2-3 times as long to reach maturity, are far more active, and as a result are “tougher”. You can cook them just as fast a broiler, but the end result is going to be tough/chewy meat. The longer cooking time is needed to achieve equally tender meat.

    It’s the difference between cooking a rib-eye and a brisket.

    Modern bright lighting is great for daytime but one of the worst things we can do to ourselves in the evening or night. We absolutely did not evolve to be exposed to bright (particularly blue/white) light after the sun starts setting.

    The best thing I did for my circadian rhythm was eliminate light in the bedroom and set up my lights to slowly shift to soft amber and dim in the evening. The trick is having it transition slowly so your eyes adjust and you don’t notice it.


  • To add to what you’ve said: if you’ve ever hit a bug (or anything else) at those speeds you notice it. A junebug will leave a fairly decent bruise on exposed skin, and for comparison a paintball out of a marker travels about 190 mph.

    Imagine the random far more substantial debris flying around during a hurricane near those speeds.


  • One theory about how the whole Roswell UFO/aliens thing as government gaslighting.

    This stuff happened during the height of the cold war when the Soviet Union was 100% looking for anything they could get on the USA’s secret programs. It’s easy to poison a source of actual intel if you send a few guys in suits and sunglasses to ask vague, leading questions to steer them towards “little green men.”

    Do you really need fast charging in public outlets?

    I always bring my own charger or power pack with me for security and speed, but “yes”.

    If I’m using a public outlet my device is nearly dead and I probably only have limited time to hang out and charge it.






  • I somehow got on the Trump campaign’s email list and periodically get garbage from them. I received the following email less than 4 hours after it happened.

    ALERT FROM TRUMP My resolve is only stronger after another attempt on my life! I will never slow down. I will never give up. I WILL NEVER SURRENDER! I thank God every day for having supporters like you on my side. On November 5th, WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! MAGA
