Good strategy if you have the room in your freezer. We’ve tried that before, but unfortunately I have a really narrow freezer and can’t fit a decent sized pizza in there.
- Comment on Anon likes pizza 1 week ago:
We make multiple dough balls and freeze them. That way if we are going to have pizza for dinner we just leave the frozen dough to defrost and rise in a bowl when we’re at work.

I guess I’ll mark that down as religious indoctrination.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
The true purpose of us humans is to live and make life.
What dictates “true purpose” here? What need does making more life fulfill?
Your argument is either based on religious indoctrination, or a poor understanding of biology and evolution.

I feel like 10-15 years ago Waffle House was a really decent greasy spoon diner for the money. I remember being able to get an all star special for five bucks. I just looked it up and they’re wanting $13-14 now…

Yep, and if you don’t use them the body will break down the sperm and absorb it. So op is basically advocating young men to absorb fat loads into their bodies.

The only smart person was the guy with the other bear who at first ran back to help, but then realized he would just bringing another bear into the mix. The other bear seemed a little too eager to go back as well.

Yeah, there was a website that had all the unedited transcripts and some recordings from crashes. I don’t think I remember reading any real prayers, that’s unless you count something like “oh God, oh god” as a prayer. Mainly just a lot of swearing and a mix of panicked or resigned statements. Most are just a couple sentences long, seems like most crashes go from fine to catastrophic very quickly.

I don’t think anyone loves eating canned mixed veggies… But I admit, every once in a while I’ll make a fancy version of Mac and cheese and hotdogs.
- Comment on Great Depression: Part Deux 3 months ago:
Haha, I had a similar experience because of canned mix veggies. For a long time I didn’t think I liked beans because I always hated the texture of the canned lima beans. I also thought all veggies would taste the same because canned mix veggies all adopt an odd homogeneous taste.
- Comment on Great Depression: Part Deux 3 months ago:
Mac and cheese and hot dogs are probably less reliable than the canned mixed veggies. I don’t think anyone gets nostalgia for soaked mushie veggies .
- Comment on Great Depression: Part Deux 3 months ago:
Sorry, but this is like one of the many litmus tests for people who think they grew up in the middle class and then actually find out they grew up poorer than they initially thought.
Another good one was having canned mixed vegetables more than a couple times a week.

Easy… I have a wood working shop at home. I can just trace the sword and carve… Wait a sec.
- Comment on Oh no my harvest is too bountiful 3 months ago:
I do work with a lot of moldable foam. I’ve always kinda figured if I get kicked from the field or get bored I can always build costumes or custom leather kink gear.

I will not be negged into fixing your plate mail.
- Comment on Oh no my harvest is too bountiful 3 months ago:
Sort of a similar situation with me and renfair people. I build and fit people with custom orthopedic braces and prosthetics and have access to a metal and leather lab.
I wouldn’t claim anyone is overly flirtatious, but they do seem to get friendlier and ask a lot of questions about things like hand setting rivets.
- Comment on I pulled my hip flexor :( 3 months ago:
Uhhg, hip flexors are such whiney little bitches. I am active after work, but my job requires me to sit down for long periods which tightens your hip flexors.
The couch hip flexor stretch and Mcgill’s big three core exercises have helped a ton for my recovery.

I know this jewel Ive been holding on to for decades could create generational wealth for my family… But I’m going to throw this bitch in the ocean because I am old and sad.

Idk… especially considering there’re other legitimate things to actually feel uncomfortable about with their relationship.
- Comment on wish 3 months ago:
Yeap, including cram schools most kids highschool and below are pulling 12-16 hour days. Over there grade school and highschool are where you put your work in and really over exert yourself, and then college and grad school are a cake walk and when you get to finally party your ass off.
- Comment on wish 3 months ago:
Nah, it’s pretty normal in South Korea. School and the expectations of success are just brutal over there. It’s not unusual to see groups of kids coming home from school/after school programs after dark.

What the hell are you talking about?
Brazil had the worst stats in basically every category when it came to slavery. They owned the most slaves, imported the most slaves, killed the most slaves, and their sugar plantations were widely known as the worst working conditions in America’s.
- Comment on wish 3 months ago:
Eh… My little cousins live in Korea and come from money, it still sounds kinda crappy. 8 hours of school then instrument practice, dance class, and after school academy… the little dudes get home at like 9-10pm every night. One of them calls all the time and begs us to host him when he’s ready for college, the little guy just wants to play football.

You just don’t get it because you’re not an alpha…Only betas are good at maintaining lasting employment.

That’s it, Wing King Shi Dakai Lord of Five Thousand Years is going to escort you out of the Heavenly Kingdom.
Now you won’t ever get to eat grass with the Heavenly King.

Chock Full-0-Sea ports
Is really the big reason. Less and less portage is going through the traditional East Coast hubs of NY and NJ, mostly going to places like Louisiana , Texas, and Florida instead.
Historically Florida has always been pretty big on trains as well. In fact you used to be able to take a train from Florida to Cuba…kinda. You could take a train across the overseas rail line to Key West where they would ferry the whole train car over to Cuba.
We used to be an actual country that did stuff, and that’s because we weren’t afraid to do cool stuff with trains.
- Comment on hyperbaric oxygen chamber 4 months ago:
I’m not sure if it’s purely spurned by capitalism, though I’m sure it doesn’t help. I think it’s more of an issue with narcissistic egos, considering even our global leaders are prone to fantastical thinking when it comes down to longevity. Not too long ago Xi and Putin were caught on a hot mic talking about immortality via organ donation. That’s not how any of this works…
- Comment on hyperbaric oxygen chamber 4 months ago:
he’s using pseudoscience to attempt to live longer
Yeap, for some reason tech billionaires are all complete idiots outside of their field of expertise. I don’t know what it is about computer science that makes people so confident they’re always the smartest person in the room, but it does lead to some interesting scams.
These aren’t even real hyperbaric chambers, they’re marketed as “wellness chambers”. Real hyperbaric chambers are illegal to own/operate in a living space because they are dangerous if not operated and maintained by an expert.
He’s not getting 100% o2 and they aren’t getting the appropriate amount of atmospheric pressure utilized in hyperbaric medicine. There’s no evidence to support any kind of benefit of hyperbaric medicine at these levels.

Not really that surprising, a lot of natural materials have really good insulating qualities. Considering that it’s mostly cellulose and water, I wouldn’t really really think it would be flammable unless dried out.
