- Comment on [NightHawkInLight] DIY Supermaterial Could Save You From Heatstroke: Salt based PCMs 1 week ago:
1.2l water 240ml sodium sulfate 60ml sodium chloride 20ml xantham gum(optional for increased efficacy)
Boil water, stir until fully dissolved, a small amount of solute should remain, if not, increase sodium sulfate slowly until it does, indicating no free water molecules available for dissolution.
Solution should now be cooled to below 18c( freezing point) for an end product that will regulate temperature to 18c.

I often stumble across jobs in Antarctica listed in my region. It’s right there in the headline, so its easy to skip over them, but i have to wonder, how else would you advertise for jobs in remote locations where most people wouldn’t even think to look?

Why should people committing unjust acts be allowed to commit them in peace? Where is the peace for their victims if we do not speak up? The MLK quote seems entirely fitting.
- Comment on non vegan pizza time 1 week ago:
Nobody likes the practice, the difference is that vegans take a moral stand and choose not to contribute to it, while meat eaters shrug it off and continue to pay the people committing those acts, because they’d rather cows get anally fisted and forcibly impregnated than drink a milk with a different flavour.
- Comment on Trying to buy right size bicycle wheel online 1 week ago:
90% of listings on aliexpress or amazon are made by dropshippers who don’t actually have any knowledge of the products they’re selling. They scrape the datasets for all of the manufacturers they source from, autopopulate any required fields and blast out a thousand listings. I’d wager the majority aren’t even human reviewed, let alone human written.
- Comment on Car 3 weeks ago:
I’ve done it before. Granted it was one of the first times I’d driven an auto, but the reflex to engage the clutch for rolling to a stop, combined with the extra wide brake pedal can be a real gotcha.

I like to inch my diagrams closer and closer to penises until someone notices.
- Comment on Are shrunken heads a rights violation? 3 weeks ago:
I agree with you somewhat, but I think in the case of body parts, which require the death of a person to procure, the risk of encouraging such bad actors is significant enough that we ought not to enable any market at all except where lives may be saved by their procurement.

I would consider trophies derived from human bodies to be immoral in the same way that child pornography is. The act of transmitting a digital file does not directly cause harm to anyone, but by creating a demand for it, you are in turn driving an industry that violates the rights of people in order to keep supplying it.
For many years after western contact with Aotearoa, people were deliberately killed for the sake of producing preserved heads which would be purchased by collectors in Europe.
If there were to be a resurgence in demand for such objects, there is no shortage of people either desperate enough or cruel enough to revive the practice of killing people to produce them.
Sure, there could be systems put in place to verify that a head was procured humanely after natural death, but it would never be foolproof, and there would always be some degree of black market causing harm on the fringes in order to meet demand.
We already know that people are killed in order to feed the black market for transplantable organs, so why would we allow an industry with all of the same risks to exist purely for the sake of art?
- Comment on What is the equivalent stereotype of 'women should all be homemakers,' for men? 4 weeks ago:
My daughter is a very different skin colour than me. Somehow the worst I’ve encountered to date is an uppity mother who thought I was telling off a random child.
- Comment on What is the equivalent stereotype of 'women should all be homemakers,' for men? 4 weeks ago:
This is something I’ve never understood. Surely it is a compliment rather than an insult to effectively say “your partner is very attractive”

I’m sure if you hit the gym for a few months you’ll have the strength to win her back.
- Comment on Why bag the hydrant? 2 months ago:
Related question. Why are north American hydrants all of the “stick up out of the ground as a permanent fixture” type, rather than the more discreet and less likely to be damaged “pipe fitting concealed beneath a removable plate” type?
