  I work at heights daily, climbing 100m towers. I’m also scared of heights. I’ve done some cliff dives into deep water as another way to face that fear. It takes a force of will for me to jump off more than about 10m. Sure wish I enjoyed that thrill.

  You don’t need a degree to be a scientist, all you need is to apply the scientific method to your quest for knowledge.

  Micheal Faraday never attended schools after about the age of 8. Look around and see the world he gave you.

  His name is Spartacus.

  I am Spartacus.

  Which requires them to output DC rather than AC, so they require inverters to change it to AC. It’s handier for battery storage though.

  No, I am Spartacus!

  Definitely magnets, but the link is correct.

  I sure hope they chug that stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a nostalgic gamer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to roleplay as a pirate, pickpocket, swindler, and ladies man; laughably incompetent at all, under this username in a tiny, indie RPG called Rubies of Eventide. I was never a strong player, but I got a reputation for funny in-game banter. Playing a different kind of person enabled me to punch above my weight in social skills.

  It’s quite likely a belief that sunscreen lotion is a bad thing that harms people. Found that one out from an old high school crush from FL. She looks like leather now.

  Probably because symptoms of mesothelioma take decades to develop, and I only encountered that stuff around a few holiday seasons in my earliest memories.

  One assumes eventually.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Magic Mineral⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To prove it was safe. They knew it wasn’t, so they changed public opinion by marketing.

  “Of course it’s safe! Look how safe it is! It’s fun for the whole family! What do you think we are, monsters?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Magic Mineral⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yes, the market will grind us all into a thin gruel for another dollar.

  Aw fuck l, I knew I remembered that shit from childhood.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon shares his dating preferences⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My profiles had fun and active pics, jokes, preferences, favorites, dealbreakers, and honesty. But I found the apps so damn boring and disconnecting that I’d forget when I’d occasionally have a conversation. I couldn’t get excited at all. It only made me depressed. While I know part of that is on me, it ain’t all me. I decided one dystopian corpo shouldn’t have a monopoly on romance and deleted my accounts.

  Dude, chill.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That explains it.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The post wasn’t about ordinary women going through their lives in healthy ways. It was about young women influencers and the old men who follow them. The reason why is obvious.

  But he looks so tender, juicy, and marbled. How can we ignore such a tasty morsel when so many have so little, and so few so much? We must waste not.
