Why would it? Are you somehow afraid of something tastier than honey?
Also it almost certainly exists but is likely hard to gather in significant quantities.

I’d view it as handy thermal mass, useful when shipping other frozen items.
That box is a bit easier to stack than a bag of ice like most other grocery stores have.
And much more expensive.

I used to deal that way when I was younger, now I want caffeine, flavor, AND an extra kick from my little flask.

Trump also had his motorcade drive all over the curing paint. It was on national news.
- Comment on can I skip the exercise part? 2 weeks ago:
You do you, but I’m going to stick with the recommendation of one per day. Any more than that just seems wasteful.

Also selection bias. People who start rich are going to be more conservative on average, and because they’re rich, they tend to live longer.

The “theory” was that as you accumulate more property, you become more protective of said property.
I’m sure you can see the first of several bad assumptions in that theory.
- Comment on Do you think that the MK Ultra program actually shut down? 2 weeks ago:
Tulsi Gabbard is repeating Russian lies. All of these biolabs were openly listed on various government websites, and most of them were working on civilian stuff, like tracking the yearly flu virus and crime scene DNA sequencing.
They all had oversight from the US and their host country, along with the occasional UN team.
Again, Tulsi Gabbard is not a trustworthy source for anything.
- Comment on Do you think that the MK Ultra program actually shut down? 2 weeks ago:
It’s important to understand exactly what MK Ultra actually was, because the goals of the program shifted more than once.
MK Ultra at its heart, was an attempt by men who were more monstrous than competent to control reality. They acted as if consequences didn’t exist, and for decades, they didn’t.
By those standards, this shit keeps happening.
- Comment on Do you think that the MK Ultra program actually shut down? 2 weeks ago:
Fun fact, everyone already knew about those labs. They were built by the Soviets, and the US was invited in to help convert them to civilian use.
This has all been public for decades.

I’m guessing utility location.

Who better? Anyone who is not you, because anyone else would know not to say anything because nothing needs to be said.
- Comment on Another redundant app 1 month ago:
Gross as in, you’re changing the face that someone is presenting to the world, because you think you know better than they do how they should present themselves.
- Comment on Another redundant app 1 month ago:
I’d imagine not very, also it’s kind of gross in a hard to quantify way, at lest hard for me.
- Comment on power generator 1 month ago:
Those systems are interesting, but also nightmares to build and maintain.
Supercritical co2 is a powerful solvent and can corrode most metals.this problem is worse when you increase the temperature.
Material scientists are working on it, but so far, the few test systems that have been built can’t quite live up to the hype.

He fried his brain on drugs. Also eating roadkill and bush meat.
When he was a teenager/young adult he was the drug dealer to his family and caused one cousin to lethally OD.
The guy has been a shitbag all his life.

Two party systems are a consequence of something called Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem, specifically as applied to First Past the Post voting. Which is technically Duverger’s Law
If you want a video instead, this one is a classic.
The names of things rarely have any actual meaning behind them, especially not political names, which were originally chosen to make people think they were patriotic for supporting said party. Or are chosen by the opposition.
But yes, the tensions that caused the war did exist before the shots were fired, that’s how civil wars work. And yes, reconstruction was halted and reversed by Johnson.
But the TLDR, being a defeatist is worse than useless, work towards a better tomorrow today. Also, civil wars, the kind with neighbors shooting neighbors and all, are fucking nightmares. Don’t try to start it all early, it will come all too soon on its own, the fascists will make sure of it.

A data center without power or AC is not a functional data center, and damage to such systems could cause massive damage inside, all without risk of premature detonation, theoretically speaking.

Explosives are a bit too dangerous for the average person to play with.
On a completely unrelated note, does anyone else remember those assholes from a few years back that were taking pot shots at power substations?
- Comment on Humans, I tell you 3 months ago:
I’d argue the exact opposite.
The civil war kicked off after the second longest pause to constitutional amendments in history, only topped by the current one.
Just like any other system, you need to keep security patches coming or else malicious actors will step in an wreck everything.

Corpo housing isn’t mcmansions. They’re factory built homes shipped to site and dropped on locally poured foundations, sometimes with basements.
Sure, they can be decent sized, but the mcmansion is overly large and aimed at a different crowd, a crowd that’s increasingly unable to afford them.
Source; I grew up in a corpo housing development from the 60s or 70s. The houses all looked identical from the outside, but had a few different floor plans, one down the street was actually two of the wrong halves put together, which meant that one of the closets didn’t have a door and could only be accessed by someone crawling in through a gap near the ceiling.
Thankfully there was no HOA, so the houses quickly picked up some individuality.

I do believe so, yes.

I’d imagine that one is because of medical more than anything else. There are all sorts of regulations around medical devices. That slows shit down.

Better? I’m not sure you’d qualify that, but local, that I’m sure of.

A box without a lid, no way to check on the cat, and no air holes. That cat is dead. It was always going to die.

Yup, it’s actually an interesting demonstration of the power of training data on a chatbot, after all, they’re just feeding it back to you.
- Comment on Fixed it. 3 months ago:
I’ll have to find the post, but you did it in two steps, changed the units of mass, and object.
The post, which is extremely hard to find with the latest slop release from Nvidia, asked the chatbot to consider the exact wording, without babying it into the correct answer. All because the close variations of the phase “X pounds of bricks and X pounds of feathers weigh the exact same” have been used in various textbooks and such for at least the last hundred years or so.
That means that the chatbot has seen that exact combo of words, in roughly that order, quite a bit more than your use of “100 kilograms of rice”. At least in English.
You can baby it through when the training data is sparse, but not when there are hundreds of uses of the same phrase over and over again in the training.
