My 2c:
Religion, and likely a concept by those in power that sex should be free whenever they want it.

Lysol: so effective at deals with messes it killed your Mrs?
- Comment on why just "now and then" isn't enough 1 week ago:
Yes, Lysol was a feminine hygene product originally.
And killed multiple women from septic shock down there.
It was pulled and reintroduced as a an all purpose cleaner.

Most of them use a magnetic reed switch to trigger the alarm. Should be trivial to use a throwaway magnet to keep the alarm from going off.

Education problem.
Business students are indoctrinated into neoliberal concepts in post secondary.
When they graduate, they take up sales, marketing and management positions. They are blinded by greed and money is all they know.
- Comment on In Star Wars, what would it mean "to bring balance to The Force?" 5 weeks ago:
The "balance to the force" was misread by the Jedi council as meaning a complete Jedi victory over the Sith. Even in the first and second movies, Yoda and Windu both express doubts about the accuracy of the prophecy.
What a more pragmatic view would be is that a the force wanted a new type of force wielder philosophy where emotions don't rule over you(what the Sith ended as) but also one where emotion and connection are allowed to exist(what the Jedi outlawed.)
To that end, pre-Disney Luke and his academy were that new force wielder academy. One could argue that prequels Anakin struggled to meet that balance and his rebuff by the Jedi masters led to him being manipulated by Palpatine.

The problem is that he added a secret, undocumented list that was only added when you were running the program that only he maintained.
If you were on an affected server, it gave an incompatible server message. If you were an affected user, it just hid you completely.
He went to extreme lengths to try and avoid this being discovered.
He seriously compromised the fundamental nature and trust of the entire activitypub project sphere.

Moreover, the acoustic failure detection sensors seemed to have worked, *but the process failed since they didn't know what to look for since they didn't do any testing.
- Comment on What is it like being drunk? How much control do you have? 1 month ago:
To expand on that if I may:
What alcohol does is impair your judgement and your motor control(reaction time)
So things you normally would not do for a variety of reasons(like, yell at a giant easily angered bouncer), now seem like a great idea.
It doesn't make you do things, it allows you to do things your sober self might find reprehensible into outright vile.

This. The original intent of the downvote on reddit was for things that actively take away from the conversations; not merely because you disagree with it.
Equally, the upvote was for things that contribute, not just for things you like.

- Comment on I feel like this could have been worded a little better 2 months ago:
Hey, as Canadians we're ecstatic to be in the round of 16, but it isn't much of a surprise.
The US paid for a good team and they're in a decent group with little surpise that they're on top.
Mexico was in an abymsally easy group and its no surprise they're where they are.
Canada was also in a group with little surprise that we ended up proceeding. Only real surprise was tying the higher ranked swiss.
Given that S.Africa beat the better ranked South Korea, they put up a great show but were still dominated by a sloppy but effective Canada yesterday.
I will be surprised if the next game v Netherlands/Morocco is anything but a blowout, but we made it to the 16 and I'm happy with that.

It was a downloadable demo, yeah. Just had various polygonal shapes on a black background, top down and could move with WASD and could interact with plant sprites and creature sprites. Very simple graphics, but had different level creatures wandering around, so it was hard to stay alive when you had level 5 creatures hunting near the starting beach.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
I played the simple shape demo of the creature world.
It was vastly superior to the crap they launched. It had an actual ecosystem, but admittedly led to you dying a lot at low tiers because you were the equivalent of a meal worm.

There was a video by a medical channel(actual doctor) I follow on Youtube that explained why the body temp increase happens during an infection in one of his recent videos covering the Hantavirus situation.
TD;LR: Its that parts of the immune system get sigificantly more effective with a slightly increased temperature.

Apparently it used to be filled with tap water.
That changed in a 2009 reno to use water from the Tidal Basin(man made resevoir) constantly circulating to avoid stagnation issues.However, that itself caused issues. Rampant algae growth immediately became an issue, so they had to improve the ozone disinfectant system in the same year.
It was drained in 2017 to solve a parasitic snail outbreak which was killing ducks in the pool.
