  Your earworm of the day:
  The Heat Is On. 🔥

  You’re welcome! 😀👍

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No, my solution would be to vacate the area post haste. I was just referring to meco03211’s posting in which he wrote

  If you took the explosive out of a grenade, put it in a metal pot with the lid welded on, and detonated, you’d just have a mangled pot.

  Given your theory that the type of explosive used makes all the difference, I would definitely watch a Mythbusters episode about that (if there was one). 😉

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  With sufficient reading comprehension you (and the five people upvoting your posting) would have noticed that nobody is claiming a grenade in a pot would be harmless. The claim was about removing the explosive from the grenade and detonating that inside the pot.

  While I have no evidence to support that claim I have seen someone putting live ammunition in a pot and making it cook off. That experiment clearly showed that cartridges are only really dangerous when used in a firearm. I expect the physics to be very much the same here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[title]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Something like that, yes. Meaning is a human construct and we are meaning seekers. So in this way, unlike in nihilism, meaning becomes possible even if things in the world don’t come equipped with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[title]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the existentialist stance. Misunderstood by many as being nihilistic (which it is not) but I think it is correct. As Jean Paul Sartre said, Existentialism is humanism.

  What would the proper language be?

  Men and women?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to sexualize males for a female audience?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Just to spell it out: There’s nothing wrong with using “male” and “female” as adjectives (e.g. “male audience” or “female drivers”). The problem arises from using them as a noun (e.g., “females want a man” or “males are more likely”) which is a very reductive way of describing a person. It also evokes the way we refer to animals, which is, again, reductive.

  We are more than our respective genders, just as we are more than merely animals.

  I once met someone who had caught it through aerosolized mouse feces while out in nature and almost died. Apparently his R/C helicopter had caused the contagious dust to spread and he inhaled it.

  That’s the catch, though. You cannot change people. Gotta work with what you got.

  Capillary dilation of the so-called blush response? Fluctuation of the pupil. Involuntary dilation of the iris…

  Wrap the strip tightly around a penny and then tape the whole thing is what I used to do. Remarkably potent when tossed on the ground.
