I’ve explained this so many times. I grew up in rural Georgia and I’ve been shout and yelled at so many times by some old boomer dude that I’m just immune to it. Would rather just avoid listening to their bullshit at all.

And then suffer 0 consequences because our legal system is petrified of the wealthy.

Minecraft playing as a nomad. Just watching sunsets over a mountain and sleeping in a giant mushroom.

The top answer for me is always a good cast iron pan. Doesn’t have to be expensive but should be quite heavy. It’s not just buy it for life either, it’s buy it for future generation’s lives.

If there’s one thing my old grandpa taught me when I was a kid is was to make sure that if I were going to stir a solution containing fissile material in a cylindrical container to make sure there wasn’t enough material in the solution to become critical.

I remember his advise every day.

We’re long past the point of companies doing what’s actually best. Consider how many are returning to offices despite all the evidence that wfh is better for all involved.

As with most things I think a big part of the problem is executives. They live for work. They love coming in and lording over their little fiefdoms and holding pointless meetings where everyone has to listen to them talk. Why would they give up a day of that every week? Why would they let people wfh where they aren’t forced to be in the room making them feel important?

During Covid the sherpas took the opportunity to really clean up Everest, including Green Boots. It’s such a shame that their best option to earn a living is to watch rich folk trash a mountain they consider sacred.

Not good. Just watery ketchup. But it was a hell of a lot better than nothing. It did help that I snagged a few packs of crackers for texture.

Went to visit my gf in college once a few hours away. On the way back I put every penny I had into my gas tank in hopes it would be enough and it barely was. While at the gas station I mixed some ketchup packets, salt, and hot water for “tomato soup” because it was all free.

But Buddhists don’t worship Buddha, he’s not a God, he was just a man.

That’s a really good way to put it that I’ve never heard before.

Born in the south and moved to Philadelphia in my early twenties. It was more culture shock than some other countries I’ve been to. Folks in Philly don’t hold back. If they don’t like you they tell you, to your face. They also don’t feel the need to add all the extra and often unnecessary pleasantries to every social interaction. Honestly for a “well mannered” southern kid it was pretty liberating to get to drop all that.

Lol, no they won’t.

I think it should be law that folks in drag are allowed to shoot nazis. Whether it’s actual members of national socialism or just anyone who gets too loose drawing swastikas.

This place isn’t officially dead yet. Went and saw a movie there not that long ago. I do think it’s slated for demo quite soon though.

Except that 90% of the time you answer and it just hangs up because it’s testing to see if the line is active to sell to telemarketers

Good lord what a roller coaster! Let’s foggin go!

We’re pretty much the same although I ditched WaPo cause Bezos.

I do add the BBC and France24 if there’s a large international story breaking.

The daily discussion on r/atlanta is one of the few things I still go to reddit for. Really hope it takes off here.

It was called “Drunk” and was about human’s history with inebriates with an emphasis on alcohol. For a book on booze it was incredibly dry and while the author made some decent points he tended to just repeat them over and over again.
