- Comment on Why is it that every time a film, series or game has as its protagonist someone who is part of a minority, right-wingers try to problematize everything? 3 hours ago:
I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not, but black people comprised a sizable amount of the population of Mississippi, predating the Civil War and through mid-20th century, as it’s a large cotton plantation state.

Let it be someone else’s carpet. Or in this case, driveway.
Skip to 3:10 for the action.

You can write code like this by stretching a fat rubber band around a ruler, then writing on it. It’s only legible when stretched.

They’re referring to the relationship between surface area and combustion. Talc, for example, melts but does not burn. Talc powder can ignite if blown over an open flame.

The first video game was the precursor to Pong, called Tennis for Two. It was created on an oscilloscope in Brookhaven National Laboratory. Had they thought to patent it, the US government would’ve held ownership of all video games.

See that doesn’t bother me as much. I’m a Boy Scout. Bugs and soil get in your food. So be it. I’m not ok with machine-milking cows until their udders begin to repeatedly blister and pop onto the milk.

I stopped drinking milk the day I learned that the FDA has a limit on the amount of puss from a burst udder blister, and it’s not 0%.

Mostly as a show of strength and territorial control. Nothing unexpected. It’s not as nuanced as their pheromone communication.

We’ll have more accurate clones of more recently extinct species. DNA just doesn’t last that long.

Fat chance. Desk jobs don’t require additional hardware. They’ll be the first to go. This is corporate America we’re talking about. Cost/benefit analysis reigns supreme. Health and safety is only as much of a concern as regulations require, which will only get more lax with Zeldin in office.

Ummm, maybe it’s because they’re asking us to train the software that’s going to take our moderate pay desk and service jobs so we can all work in factories for minimum wage?
Just a thought.

Then let’s keep it peaceful and not give them reason.

All the more reason that the protest on April 19th is the most important one yet. It may be our last chance to have one safely.

Lobsters have olfactory sensory neurons, located in the aesthetasc sensilla on their antennules, which allow them to detect the pheromones in the urine of other lobsters.
A dominant male lobster will pee to signal his dominance and deter other males from his territory. Females may also pee to signal their readiness for mating, and the urine of a dominant male can attract females.
Lobsters also communicate through touch and by using their claws, but no one gives a fuck after reading about the pee thing.

Lobsters have urine nozzles under their eyes, and pee in each other’s faces to communicate.

I had to look it up out of curiosity. The rib cage and lungs of sperm whales are adapted to collapse under pressure, squeezing all the air the lungs contain into a small space and increasing internal cavity pressure.

That’s the cheap kind that ruined your heads. The good head cleaner had a little hole near the spool to drip isopropyl alcohol onto the cleaning tape.

Probably the same reason we had 40+ tornadoes, huge hailstorms, floods, and drought-enabled wildfires in six adjacent states within 48 hours. Anthropogenic climate change is real, whether you believe in it or not.

Property tax, and subsequently rent, is already going to go up thanks to the dismantling of the Department of Education. People just haven’t realized that yet. The federal taxes previously used to supplement schools will be going toward the wealthy tax breaks. We’re not getting that back.

They have Rosie the Riveter on a vintage tee but have no clue what she represents.

I see comments like this from Americans who are surprised that Ukrainians are still working and going to school. Do they think people just stop needing food and rent money because the streets are getting bombed?
