And how do you keep the wood from being exposed to moisture without petroleum derivatives? Like technically it is possible but to build enough homes to that standard for even 1/1000 of the population is unreasonable
- Comment on When you see danger coming 1 week ago:
We also cover wood in hydrocarbons to stop it from being broken down, if a bacteria can break down long hydrocarbon chains we are kind of fucked
- Comment on Not difficult to understand 2 weeks ago:
It’s a chance for you to explain what you were doing. If you spent that time taking time off between jobs because a job fell through, you got laid off, you quit spontaneously, etc those are all very rational things that an employer may want to know.
It’s up there with innocent questions like “where did you work before here”, and “do you have reliable transportation “
- Comment on The new AMERICAN pope doesn't even speak AMERICAN 2 weeks ago:
He’s in charge of the Catholic Church why is it a surprise that he follows the status quo of the Catholic Church?
- Comment on Not difficult to understand 2 weeks ago:
You can say something like “I was attending to personal matters” that still gives no information but doesn’t come off as rude to what could be an innocent question

And that’s how you don’t get a call back
- Comment on Not difficult to understand 3 weeks ago:
That’s the inside their head conversation the actual words would be a boiler plate rejection letter
- Comment on Not difficult to understand 3 weeks ago:
It depends on the context if you say you had an NDA and can’t elaborate at all on the details that’s a clear red flag as most NDAs you can at least give the context of what it is about I.e. specific job processes, witnesses an event, etc.
If you say you worked for X company but can’t talk about the details of your work because of an NDA then that’s fine but they might call your old employer to verify you did really work there.
- Comment on Vitamin technology has advanced so much over the years 3 weeks ago:
Vitamins are barely regulated and don’t have to pass the standard of “generally recognized as safe and effective”. Because of that we don’t even have a ton of data on the effectiveness of multivitamins, but one of the things that we do know is most of the vitamins are just pissed out because they need cofactors to be properly absorbed. If you truly can’t get nutrients from a healthy diet then they are better than nothing but healthy diet is still the number one priority.
Doctors sometimes recommend them because “they can’t hurt” but that doesn’t mean they are actually helpful
- Comment on Liquid Trees 3 weeks ago:
You are absolutely correct and that was a stupid on my part
- Comment on Liquid Trees 3 weeks ago:
How much CO2 does the tree on your desk take in? Do you think it approaches 1/1000 of the amount that a bunch of algae can take in? So maybe it’s not the same and comparing it as being the same is done in bad faith. Trees are great and in many cases are superior as they also provide shade, but you can’t ignore the negatives of them(mostly related to their roots) and that they don’t work in every situation
- Comment on Liquid Trees 3 weeks ago:
The majority of our oxygen comes from algae, they aren’t reinventing existing solutions they just put a tank of them in a city and blow air into it so that a city can use the same more efficient fauna that is available in coastal cities
- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 4 weeks ago:
That’s factually not true; what happens to a company with no competition but also no customers and no suppliers? There is a reason why the most successful companies aren’t isolated from the world
- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 4 weeks ago:
The problem is if you hit everyone with a stick sometimes they just leave and you are left just playing with your carrot by yourself
- Comment on 1994 white Kevin 4 weeks ago:
It’s also run by people vetted by the school who are also employees so they generally have other responsibilities and then the service doesn’t generate a profit. Which is a long way of saying it’s not even remotely close to being the same
- Comment on 1994 white Kevin 4 weeks ago:
Speaking as a person who does not fit the demographic for this service, the big problem I see with it is how you trust that the walking buddy is actually going to be safer than nothing. Uber drivers are somewhat regularly in the news for assaulting women and I know several women that don’t like riding them alone
- Comment on How come id Software / Bethesda have never sued Bungie / Microsoft over the similarity between Doomguy and Master Chief? 4 weeks ago:
Halo reach came out way later, and doesn’t look half as good as master chief but that’s not due to the coloring and instead the worse looking armour

- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 1 month ago:
They currently don’t affect digital goods but there is no actual reason they couldn’t make one that does we are in some truly interesting times
- Comment on Please choose one 1 month ago:
By evil company standards that’s pretty benign
Like Hershey uses slave labor, Chiquita helped transport weapons for paramilitary groups, nestle well we have all heard about what nestle does.
Just about everything you listed that they do can be summed up as they vehemently protect their IP that while they are overkill they just aren’t even close to other video game companies like blizzard who protect sexual harassers

It doesn’t matter if it’s data, tariffs are meant to be protectionist so you could easily say that since Nintendo is headquartered in Japan or because the majority of their workers are in Japan or because their name sounds vaguely Japanese that all sales of their product in insert country here has to pay an additional 10% tax
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 1 month ago:
Nintendo is one of the last game companies that actually release a finished product that’s not filled with micro transactions and your mad that they add an extra $20 to the price of something you will likely put hundreds of hours in as prices of everything have increased. Would you rather they release it for $60 but you have to pay an extra $5 for each character/vehicle/map like all the American companies are doing it
- Comment on PROTEIN BRO 1 month ago:
That makes more sense I think that 300 level was our lowest biochemistry class as well
- Comment on PROTEIN BRO 1 month ago:
Maybe our universities handled numbers differently but 300 level classes we’re never considered intro level classes but were instead classes usually taken in your 3rd year of school with a heavy amount of pre requisites and a 500 level would be a graduate class
- Comment on PROTEIN BRO 1 month ago:
I had to take a 300 level biochem class and 2 semesters of O Chem and we didn’t have to memorize the structures of all the amino acids. Like we had to know glycine and we had to know about the different amino acids like how proline has a rigid structure but we were never expected to be able to draw an amino acid from memory
- Comment on why can't there be a soda dispenser for energy drinks? 3 months ago:
Anyone can order on sigma as long as you make an account! Which is really cool but a lot of the times their prices aren’t competitive with random products you could find on amazon since the average person rarely needs hplc grade products.
I used to do that exact same thing with 200mg of caffiene in a Nalgene with a drop or two of lemon juice haha
- Comment on why can't there be a soda dispenser for energy drinks? 3 months ago:
You can get it super easy in the U.S. for cheap
Here is lab grade caffeine
That if you wanted to make 150mg energy drinks it would cost less than 3 cents each.
If you want to just mainline caffeine I would recommend caffiene pills they are preportioned and are cheap here are the equivalent to 100g pre measured out for under $20
But my point still remains that the cost of caffeine is completely irrelevant to the cost of energy drinks
- Comment on why can't there be a soda dispenser for energy drinks? 4 months ago:
That’s because monster overcharges, caffiene powder is cheap and you could add it to soda for cheap
- Comment on flouride 5 months ago:
It’s 10 million times more acidic than drain cleaner!!! And the government is trying to force you to drink it by forcing it to be used in municipal drinking fountains
- Comment on flouride 5 months ago:
Just because a concentration is low doesn’t mean it’s safe. Water with 0.7 mg/L of Po-210 is lethal.
You can put an amount of it in a 55 gallon drum that is not visible
It’s a natural substance
Fluoride is in fact safe at the amounts that the FDA regulates but saying it’s a small concentration or that it’s natural are not the reasons it’s safe. It’s the hundreds of peer reviewed research articles that show that it’s safe
