- Comment on Increasing the surface area of a substance increases its reaction rate. Proof by garlic. 3 days ago:
If you want to make your own version. There are a couple tricks. Take an entire head of garlic, place it on a solid surface and crush it with the heal of your palm. Then throw the entire mess into a mason jar, or even two matching bowls closed up. Then shake the piss out of it for 10-30 seconds.
Then dump the contents and pick out the fully pealed garlic.
Then just finely chop or crush the garlic and put it into an ice cube tray. You can then add a thin layer of olive oil to help cut the freezer burn, or just cover the tray.
A food processor and a spoon can also be used to keep from touching the garlic juice.

It is the tastiest science. Now, I have not personally tested that statement for every science, but I have licked a lot of things over the years.
- Comment on Increasing the surface area of a substance increases its reaction rate. Proof by garlic. 3 days ago:
It’s also important to note that allicin breaks down with time, acid, or the application of heat.
An important note here, it takes time for the allicin to form. So your maximum flavor is about 10-15 minutes after crushing the garlic. After that, you start losing flavor.
That said, allicin is only one of many flavors. And different preparations can highlight those flavors. A rich tomato sauce that has simmered for hours is elevated with garlic, but fresh garlic is a waste. Use jarred or even powdered (soaked in room temp water for a few minutes first) and it will taste much the same.
- Comment on Where do you all get your (indie) gaming news from? 5 days ago:
Kitfox games has a YouTube channel where they show off a bunch of their current and upcoming games. Often videos by the developer themselves.
I don’t have a more general type site.

Yup, the real world conspiracies are all pretty much out in the open. The ones that are hidden, are not hidden well. This is mostly because being rich and powerful doesn’t make you smart.
- Comment on calcium and potassium 1 week ago:
Gut flora suppositories are a thing, and have been since before WW2.
Seems there was a guy in WW2 with golden guts, who survived the trenches and bad food, dysentery and such unscathed. Doctors then took samples of his gut biome and started using them to treat others who were less fortunate. Like Hitler with his life long chronic flatulence problems.
These days you can take a simple pill that’s designed to open up once it reaches the large intestine the long way, rather than the shortcut. It’s sold under the brand name Mutaflor, but it’s the same stuff, just freeze dried and encapsulated for oral consumption.

We had one called manslaughter, it was basically just vodka, Red Bull, and Kool aid.
But the kicker was the pineapple. Sliced pineapple that had soaked in everclear for an hour before mixing everything else.

Life has convergent evolution. It’s like when devs on different branches solve the same problem over and over again without telling anyone else or merging back to main so no one else has to code the same shit over and over again.

Because you seem to know very little of actual history.

- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever 1 month ago:
I will say, the game is remarkably stable compared to what it was a few years ago. Especially pistons and rotors.
But yes, it still crashes randomly. About once or twice an hour.
And I got SE2 running. No crashes there, but I don’t like creative mode, so play SE2 much less.
I am excited for the upcoming SE2 survival mode

I know. Tried a few things from that site, but no luck on SE, and SE2 is under active development so I’m waiting on it for a bit.

For SE2, it’s likely a version issue. But that game is under active development, so I’m waiting on it.
For SE1, well that one is a bit of a mystery… It probably isn’t. I have a few mods.

I play a lot of Space Engineers, and it randomly crashes… No idea what’s causing it.
And Space Engineers 2 just doesn’t launch for me.
There’s likely a config option that could fix things, but I don’t know it.
Every other game I play is fine.
- Comment on What are you ladies doing tonight 1 month ago:
I was a bit of an amateur mixologist as a child, and the top machine was my pallet.
But what was more, the corner store gas station that was down the street from my childhood home had multiple machines, each with 4 or 5 different drink options.
Years later, a friend of mine worked there as a summer job and told the friend group to avoid the fountain drinks so we did, and probably all still do.

Ding dong ditching used to surge whenever that one episode of the Simpsons played.
Because kids will be kids.
The injuries and deaths seem more linked to adults losing their God damn minds watching Fox News

Sadly there were Nazis in the US government before and during WW2.
The Dullas brothers are the prime examples. They spearheaded operation paperclip, which rescued Nazi scientists and moved them to the US.
The Dullas brothers are the reason why the US loved arming South American dictators from the 50s onward.
They also pulled a Japanese war criminal out of prison and put him in power in post war Japan.
- Comment on Why aren't you creating more workers?? 3 months ago:
Want higher birthrates? Just convince people that tomorrow will be better than today.
That’s how you see a spike in birth rates.
To maintain a steady birthrate, just convince potential parents that the world will not be any worse for their children than it is today.
See, easy.

- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong - Release Date Trailer (September 4) 3 months ago:
The gameplay loop was solid, but not completely original.
But the lore of the world was interesting and was dolled out fairly well. Neat little chunks of lore that felt like a reward when you get them.
Add in great art and music, and you have a game that you can build a fan base on.
Add in the free expansions and fan friendly developer, and you get a robust fan base.
Which leads to expectations for the sequel.

That was the same timeframe where ol Vincent was testifying in front of Congress that wrestling was completely fake and didn’t need to be regulated like an actual sport, no need for drug testing or safety equipment because it’s all fake right?
And the Congress critters are it all up. Never acknowledging that while the ending is predetermined, the path to get there is still incredibly physically demanding and a mistake could result in actual injury or death.
