  wtf, really? I always remember him being close in size to contestants on fear factor. Was that all trickery, or did I just never notice?

  I mean, if it’s being super efficient with all of the water, most of the body will have been gassed into methane and such, a little lipid slick here and there, and only the inorganic mineral contents will be visible. Surely their technology can handle a little rapid putrefaction. Why leave carbonyls intact if you can do a nucleophilic attack and knock off oxygen (as a hydroxyl, sure) to be buffered by a little acid into water?

  …calm thy tits, gentlemen, I’m joking…

  spoiler

  because we don’t use acid, that’s barbaric. Lye is much more appropriate! Only 2% of the original body mass is left as ‘dry’ material afterwards. Much much efficient!

  Stop

  I can’t, you’re being intellectual on lemmy and we have an anti-intellectual bent here. I am compelled by the lemmy force to do this again.

  Will we even make it to the 35th century?

  1: '97

  2: '99

  3: '01

  VC: '02

  SA: '04

  IV: '08

  V: '13

  VI: '25

  So, 2 -> 2 -> 1 -> 2 -> 4 -> 5 -> 12… Taking the first 2, 2, 1 as a downwards arc of the parabola, we should be seeing:

  VII: '42

  VIII: '71

  IX: 2122

  X: 2227

  XI: 2456

  XII: 2844

  XIII: 3495

  There’s a part of me that knows, if the fbi or other goons draw up a search warrant (well, I guess subpoena since it’s bank record) for that transaction, we will be hearing about some poor folks getting harassed for ‘cursing’ kirk.

  Instructions unclear, I now have two strangely smelly women and one weird methodist lady waving pregnancy tests at me.

  Maybe it’s just the nostalgia of it, but the flying through the tunnel while andross monologues at you, then the tunnel ends and this evil dude, who you’ve never seen as anything but a disembodied face, he just appears as a disembodied face for starfox 64 was fantastic. inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=BSUW2Rsej7I

  Slightly (now) past middle aged white women, from what I hear my friends and coworkers yammer on about when the conversation turns to movies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time to bash Americans again⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I always thought expats had to live in little expat communities, keeping themselves aloof from the rest of the population. It’s a level of snobbery beyond even still caring where you’re originally from. That was my understanding from all the little compounds I saw in the global south.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨found an anti-vax book at my library⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn. I was homeschooled for a year while sick, and my parent nuts trying to find the absolute best material so I didn’t fall behind. It’s repulsive that any parent would purposefully give shoddy education. That’s the stuff you always think is relegated to weird religious cults somewhere, which, I suppose, should be a wake up call about what we’re currently dealing with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Golf Cartification of My City⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The UTVs? Yeah, those things are just insane dune buggies with better PR. Watching one run from the cops was an experience out in the boonies, let me tell you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Golf Cartification of My City⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You have interesting laws if that’s the case. My place specifically mentions motor vehicles, so even bicycles, which can be considered ‘traffic,’ won’t get you a case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨found an anti-vax book at my library⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  nd it has some the best circulation of any of our books

  God, but that’s just sad and, well, infuriating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientific unprogress...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Meanwhile, my parent gleefully explained that they were writing AN EMAIL to the PRESIDENT HIMSELF using my disease to assuage their feelings as they demanded he not let stem cell research happen. That’s a level of mental fuckery I could be happy about disappearing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well how else are men supposed to get pregnant? Gotta have an egg to get fertilized.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is an artist⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Kid should have told the mother that he was studying to be a vet. I know a fella who works three months a year (during the breeding season), and for each little slice he makes in a doe, he nets somewhere between $300-$1000. A single rich rancher can have dozens or hundreds of deer that they want to selectively breed to get bigger, more ‘prize-worthy’ bucks that can fetch a high hunting fee for folks willing to pay for it. All the feller has to do is the last step of the IVF, not even the semen collection bit, so he shows up, works for about a week at each ranch, and moves on.

  It’s mind boggling how much money he brings in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is an artist⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen people asking for up to $500 for a commission. It was a pretty intricate commission, but they obviously get it. The ones that I just can’t believe are the very obvious character drawn naked, and then some clothes are added on top. Then a streamer style bullshit goes on where after they get X amount of money, a piece of clothing is removed. I’ve seen people, in an aggregate, toss thousands at those. Boggles my mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unfortunately, the ICEBlock app is activism theater⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It sounds like he’s just a dev who’s in over his head but either doesn’t want anyone to take his baby or doesn’t want people to see his sloppy and possibly insecure code

  I’d bet it’s a LOT more along the lines of the second guess, because it’s now cost his wife her job and has gotten him quite publicly tagged along with it. He’s got a large portion of himself invested in it, and of course it will sting and suck for a bunch of folks to come along and point out, both gently and horribly, knowing OSS folks, all the shortcomings and then make changes.

  He’s out on the back porch right now, but I bet if I present this to him he might let me fellate him until he adds the special sauce.
