  Either enjoy with three friend or use it solo and go four times as long between cleanings.

  Hey now, if you can tell me how light travels between two points without being facilitated by an entirely undetectable medium, I’m ALL ears.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨average physics student vs POTUS 47⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  JFC, how many times do I need to explain the workings of luminiferous aether?

  /s

  Serious time: we actually did briefly learn about all types of debunked theories in university, but as a component of the historical progression of contemporary theories.

  Single cab trucks prioritize cargo space over seating space, generally having only a single bench seat that fits 2 adults and a child, or three often uncomfortable adults. This truck prioritizes cargo space to a much greater degree, having only a single seat, so it’s aggressively “single cab”.

  Haha, 100%. I’m a scientist, I haven’t believed in phlogiston in years!

  I haven’t had a single quest. What if we’re just his NPCs?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨average physics student vs POTUS 47⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Those are stir bars.

  That they’re magnetic is propaganda to push magnetic field bunk to sell more so-called “magnets”. Stir bars are moved by phlogiston, which is why the liquid medium is often heated in tandem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The body of a contortionist while performing a trick. This X-ray also shows that a significant part of the spine does not bend.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a CT (computerized tomography) scan. It still uses X-rays but the results are in 3D so one can view “slices” of the image from different perspectives.

  The cartilage connecting the sternum to the ribs is in the same plane as the edge of the spine. Cartilage is radiolucent (doesn’t show well in X-rays) so that’s why there’s only the slightest hint of a ribcage - this slice is well past rib bone.

  Similarly the shoulder is much closer to the viewer’s perspective in the 3d model, so it’s not shown at all.

  Great explanation, well done!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tune In⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Doing this in the theater was awesome, but it was difficult getting a responsible sober person to shepherd a group of people tripping balls safely there and back. That’s a much harder job than many people realize.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨vacation⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you genuinely want to change and find a therapist who can help you find the right resources to do it, it’s invaluable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not all heroes wear capes⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you average the cost range, you’re spending around $65,000 on nuggets monthly.

  If 0.13% is equivalent to $1,400 in lost sales, then your store would sell $65K of nuggets for $1,076,923.

  That’s ~16.6 times the original price. Considering most restaurants operate at around a 3-4x markup, that’s huge!

  One of my motherboard’s memory slots went bad, no idea why. Figuring out if it was RAM or, if the motherboard, exactly what was wrong, was a tense few hours because neither is getting replaced.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I started young with the Muppet Learning Keys and Discovery Disk. I loved the AD&D games: Pool of Radiance, Curse of the Azure Bonds, and Champions of Krynn. We didn’t have an NES, so there was… The Great Giana Sisters. Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar was great.

  I might like CRPGs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You too, eh? I could type before I could write! I loved our VIC 20 and C64.

  Come with me on a journey of nostalgia! Do you remember any favorite programs?

  I didn’t know about Kricfalusi. Damn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Major L⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You wanna take some time to gather your thoughts first?

  Either you’re quite condescending or there is some confusion here. I’m going to assume it’s the latter; if it’s the former, well… life is an adventure.

  Yeah but, which part exactly should I not understand because of my American education?

  I’m not referring to you in my original comment^1^, but to the person to whose comment I’m responding.

  So you’re not talking about Marx and Engels, but you are somehow talking about socialism AND scientific socialism no less?

  The vocabulary I said I wasn’t referring to is the list of terms provided by Prole^2^ in response to your question^3^. My original comment was offhand, not intended to be a detailed analysis, so their response was assumptive. I’m familiar with the user and they’re good people, so I’m sure it was in good faith.

  To answer your original question, here are specific terms in the Wikipedia article^4^ I would suggest are not covered in US public education with sufficient depth or frequency to give the average citizen the functional vocabulary necessary to fully understand the article without significant further reading. I.e., most Americans would be unable to provide even a basic (correct) definition if asked.

  Materialism
  Historical materialism
  Dialectical materialism
  Utopian socialism
  Scientific government/Technocracy(though briefly described in line)
  Classical liberalism
  Marxism

  And by extension…

  Scientific socialism

  The United States ranks 36th in the world for population literacy, with 54% of Americans reading below a 6th-grade proficiency level and 21% being functionally illiterate^5^, so I’m pretty comfortable with my suggestion but am willing to be convinced otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Major L⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Those aren’t what I’m referring to. The comment I was replying to was about the theory density of this wiki article:

  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_socialism

  I’m referring to the vocabulary contained there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Major L⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re from the US, much of the vocabulary is unfamiliar because education on these concepts is intentionally avoided in public schools. I can’t imagine why…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And toxic in large amounts!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s actually used a lot in food, along with other agricultural waste materials. You’ll find it listed in ingredients as cellulose. It’s processed to hell and indigestible, so it doesn’t really do much nutritionally beyond adding a bit of dietary fiber.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electricity explained⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Horny is biology, which is chemistry, which is physics. You triple scienced.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Double Plug Experiment⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I originally studied environmental microbiology, can confirm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Millennials Owe 500% More in Student Debt Than Their Parents Did⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It IS the smartest of the stupidest moves for some of us. I make much more money than I would have without a degree, so I’ll still come out financially ahead. In would have been so much nicer to have gotten a decent education and not be saddled with enough debt to buy a small house (at the time, before the housing market went insane), though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Millennials Owe 500% More in Student Debt Than Their Parents Did⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My parents and in-laws: $0 student debt My spouse and me: just shy of $150k

  In America I’m free to accrue massive debt! 🦅💵🇺🇸

  I’d agree if you weren’t misquoting me and referring to another statement out of context.

  Do you have any specific criticism based on both what I actually wrote and actual medical science?
