  You don’t want actual actively boiling water to make your tea. Also, water heated to just below boiling and cooled off from boiling to just below boiling is the same temperature.

  There’s no tiny coffee machine in there? Put water in with no filter/grounds and it should heat up just right

  My wife’s job once involved her having to visit cincinnaticornhole.com

  You don’t have a horse phone?

  Is cornography banned from your workplace?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No, it just means a console that doesn’t support booting directly into a general-purpose OS isn’t a PC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A clever enough person can get a useable general-purpose OS running on just about any hardware. The entire point is that it’s user-friendly out of the box.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I said “with a few button presses,” not “after hacking it and booting from external media.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  None of those consoles would directly boot into desktop Linux with just a few button presses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good news. The wife of Jeff Bezos is giving back some of the money her husband stole from Amazon employees⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope, it’s not going back to the employees.

  Also, she’s been donating billions of that fortune for years now.

  This isn’t news.

  Plus it feels nice having a USB drive up your ass!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not impressed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Are we supposed to know who this is?

  You never thought that Star Trek plots were allegories simply plucked from the headlines of the day?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sad but trueueh, yeahh⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Was it inherently imperialist, or merely drive by imperialism?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fragile masculinity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Do we all have the same hose reel?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fragile masculinity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I get it. I’ll help use up those extra tomatoes for you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fragile masculinity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, so there are also trellises of some sort. What else is there? It’s also still it quite clear how this is configured - are these frustra surrounding each plant? Because that sounds like a lot of work for each tomato.

  As for hornworms, best we’ve found is a daily sweep with a jar of soapy water for ritual executions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fragile masculinity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Psychology

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fragile masculinity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Bro how big is your fuckin’ garden

  Also may I have some tomat plz

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The heat... I mean the cold... well, it’s palpable!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope. As I said, the US customarily uses US customary units.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fragile masculinity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not immediately clear to me how this deters such pests.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fragile masculinity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like a plan. Until those fuckers learn how to open doors, I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fragile masculinity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, they can.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fragile masculinity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hornworms and squirrells always wreck my tomatoes:(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The heat... I mean the cold... well, it’s palpable!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Imperial is a British thing, and the quantities differ significantly from US customary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The heat... I mean the cold... well, it’s palpable!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, fractions are inherently superior

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The heat... I mean the cold... well, it’s palpable!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, it’s just because the US never really converted to the metric system. Degrees Fahrenheit are zeroed at the freezing temperature of brine, and there are exactly 180 degrees from freezing to boiling water because that was an easy number to divide (like the 360 degrees in a circle).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The heat... I mean the cold... well, it’s palpable!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nothing, but it can have a lot to do with force, for which pounds is the US customary unit.

  I dunno, I found people on the West Coast would go out of their way to accommodate my wife when she was unable to walk.
