- Comment on Has Fast Food Gotten Worse, or Am I Just Getting Old? 3 days ago:
Just because people don’t like a certain food doesnt mean their taste buds have a problem. Liking food is all subjective, that’s what it means to be human
- Comment on This hair product remains effective up to 230 degrees C which is really handy because when I'm exposed to ovenlike temperatures, my first thought is "Oh no, my hair!" 2 weeks ago:
260 C is 500 F, so its rated for above hair iron temps
- Comment on Terraria hits over 60 million sales with Terraria 1.4.5 shaping up to be another big update 2 weeks ago:
10 years ago was like back when hallowed armor was endgame and mech bosses were the last bit?
There’s so much more content now that honestly makes the entire progression completely different
Theres also a wealth of mods now that acts functionally as a whole new game as well (calamity being the biggest one)
- Comment on For states on the coast with excess solar energy why don't they invest in water desalination and pump that water back upstream? 3 weeks ago:
Depends on the desalination method. If there’s no added chemicals, or if they removed them prior, I’d assume it’s feasible. After all, ancient times used to just evaporate seawater and get salt from it.
It might just be an economic problem. Questions such as where are you going to get land for creating huge evaporation pools, is it worth the yield of table salt, etc.

Those are the exact brine lakes I talked about that exist in the bottom of the ocean.
Brine is too dense to be above seawater. They accumulate in the bottom, creating essentially small pockets that kills almost every normal life. Only extremophiles live near it, and even then its usually just surrounding the edges of the lake.
You also can’t exactly guarantee that the brine you make ends up here. They are in the bottom of the ocean, not exactly a place you can pump brine to.

Are there any brine reservoir in the ocean? That doesn’t seem to be a thing. It either mixes properly with the ocean if proper mechanisms are set or it just ends up sinking to the bottom of the ocean and killing everything there.
There’s storage inland, but that also has its own problems.
Nuclear waste in the ocean follows a similar idea (although larger in scope). You can’t just dump it and be done. You have to create a plan to slowly release it (over decades) to (hopefully) not adversely affect life

Salinity doesn’t really work like that. You can’t just dump a bunch of brine and expect it to just mix with the rest of the seawater. A lot of that depends on temperature, currents, etc. You might just end up forming a brine lake in the ocean if the brine just so happens to end up at the bottom without ever mixing. Not to mention brine isn’t always just concentrated salt and water. It can include byproducts from desalination.

Chinatown is a more unique environment. Lots of foot traffic, sidewalk vendors, and really tight knit community. Its not a scaleable solution though. Hard to make that kinda of super dense area everywhere
- Comment on Why don't we have cool vending machines in the US? 4 weeks ago:
I wonder if they’re including those that are living in internet cafes and such. I remember that being a pretty prevalent problem a bit back. Wikipedia says they counted it on 2007, but no notes of whether they continue to include them or not as homeless.
Not discounting their achievement though, they have their shit together, at least way more than the US

- Comment on TIL I can restore games on Steam, which I removed years ago 2 months ago:
One example are most telltale games which still are still playable but not purchaseable (poker night at the inventory being the most recognizable for me since the associated tf2 items are also now that much harder to obtain)

I agree with not gifting animals, but it sounds like your turtles had a good life. 27 years is a long time and way longer than the life expectancy of a wild one

- Comment on Why not serve fried chicken on Juneteenth? How is it different from serving corned beef on St. Patrick’s day? 4 months ago:
Cooking is not so much of a generational thing and more of a time/convenience thing. Some people just don’t have time to cook. They could be working double jobs, working late hours, etc. And some people just don’t want to cook or like the convenience of take out food. Nothing wrong with that
