  There are apps that will upload video to the web live while recording in the background. Don’t have any interactions with random strangers that you aren’t recording. Have security cams at your house recording 24/7 saving remotely to a secure server.

  Yeah. The effects of convection from an uncapped candle will spread the heat to the room and ceiling much faster than when trapped. The pot absorbing the heat traps it and changes the heat transfer to radiative heating which will csuse a lower convective heat transfer coefficient when heating the air around it.

  Good for them. I won’t be bothered at all if any packages I’ve ordered wind up late because of this.

  Unfortunately the prices of shit have skyrocketed too. In these trying times austerity is everyone’s responsibility. Rather than buying a shit sandwich at the store have you tried making them at home? Maybe the best you could afford is sleep for dinner?

  Or my favorite. EMTs only get $15/hr. You think fast food workers should make as much as them?

  No you asshole. EMTs should make more than that. Why aren’t you fighting for everyone to make more?

  You seen Fight Club? Making them stand on the porch while they were hit and berated was part of the initiation. It showed they were committed. Similar thoughts to gangs. Unsure how prevalent it still is.

  Interesting model blizz. Create a game. Build a base. Destroy the game and lose part of that base. Re-release original game to claw back former base.

  For some reason I think it means over the underwear, under the pants.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨World of Warcraft adds $90 mount to in game store⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I had jumped back in when tbc classic was released. I wound up on a dead server. It made end game content essentially impossible. I was hoping to move right into wotlk classic at release as that was my jam back in the day. Except they weren’t going to include the dungeon finder or cross realm groups meaning it would still be a dead server with no chance at end game content. I was done with pointlessly dumb leadership. Unsubbed and found a private server that hits all the right buttons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a planet was completely covered in water, wouldn't it all be freshwater?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah. I see the angle you’re coming from. I had mentioned in another comment somewhere that essentially all salt without an impermeable barrier between it and the water on this planet would be dissolved (provided it doesn’t saturate the water which would be a horrifically enormous amount of salt). Salt is highly soluble in water and on any timescale that could be relevant would fully dissolve and achieve a general equilibrium. If the planet has water, then it has a star able to warm the planet. There’s no realistic scenario that wouldn’t result in the ocean fully mixing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a planet was completely covered in water, wouldn't it all be freshwater?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  But that’s not what’s happening. There’s no “mining” of salt. There’s no significant addition or loss of salt to the ocean. Salt just stays in the oceans here. Freshwater will evaporate and return through rivers and rain. On a planet without land, the salt would still remain in the ocean.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a planet was completely covered in water, wouldn't it all be freshwater?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Overall composition of a planet is what would matter, not whether there is land. If there is salt on the planet, it would almost assuredly have salty oceans. Salt diffuses in water. If you put salt into a glass of water and leave it sit, eventually the salt would dissolve and mix completely. Salt water has a different density than water. The act of dissolving involves energy changes. These create small eddies and currents that would mix the water until it was in equilibrium. If there is salt in any form on your waterworld, the only way it wouldn’t be salty is if the salt was permanently separated from the water physically.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a planet was completely covered in water, wouldn't it all be freshwater?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The reason water is concentrated in oceans isn’t specifically due to continents existing. Salt doesn’t evaporate so all rain is fresh water. That fresh water falls. When it falls over land it flows to the lowest point it can go. This leads to all flowing water flowing towards oceans and seas. Salt won’t travel upstream. Ergo salt simply stays in oceans and seas.

  Now consider a world with no land. This wouldn’t really differ from a single ocean on earth. Currents and waves will move in all directions at some point which should mix the salt all around. You could get some differences if there were ice caps or icebergs. Those could behave similarly to continents depending on size.

  Depends on the state. I imagine over the years, enterprising drug dealers have done just that to dupe unsuspecting buyers. It wouldn’t be far fetched that a state would write laws to capture just such an instance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I... Do court? I didn't realize my license was expired and got pulled over. Now I have court tomorrow.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  you might just annoy the judge,

  I covered that with the part about a bad judge. Additionally, nothing stops them from changing their plea to guilty after the fact. Their court date is tomorrow. This will give them time. After that, even if OP was guilty and caught dead to rights, they could get the case dismissed if there wasn’t a valid reason to pull them over. Sure that might be unlikely, but possible. Lastly, the cop might not even show up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I... Do court? I didn't realize my license was expired and got pulled over. Now I have court tomorrow.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If that pisses the judge off, they are a bad judge. If they are a bad judge, getting out of their court as quickly as possible is your best bet. If they aren’t a bad judge however, then that shouldn’t piss them off at all. You say you didn’t know it was expired. How long ago did it expire? Why were you pulled over initially?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I... Do court? I didn't realize my license was expired and got pulled over. Now I have court tomorrow.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you don’t know what to do currently, just plead not guilty. For a traffic ticket they’ll schedule a bench trial. This gives you some more time to work things out. Talking to a public defender can help but also talking to the prosecutor can help too. They want things to be quick and easy. If they think you might try to actually fight it, they’ll try to appease you with less of a punishment or even none at all. One time I had a speeding ticket dismissed and no points on my license if I plead guilty to careless driving and paid the fine.

  Just trying to answer seriously and not assume too much the answer is a simple yes/no. There is no real barrier to filing a lawsuit. Fill out the paperwork and file it with the court. Boom, you’ve sued someone. The bigger question would be if they have qualified immunity (or whatever lawyer version is similar to that) or if it would actually go anywhere. You’d want to talk to a real lawyer (IANAL). That’s at the very least unethical, possibly criminal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do animals feel love and emotion?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think I’ve ever seen dogs, cats and other domestic animals smile because they’re happy and show love to their owners for treating them right.

  My dog “smarls” (smile+snarl) at me when I come home. We’ve taken a still photo of him while smarling and it looks horrifically vicious. It’s like a stock photo captioned “aggressive dog”. But he’s actually happy. The difference is body movement. An aggressive or dangerous dog will be very still, just showing teeth, usually growling and backs away from a threat or quickly lunge if it gets too close. A smarl is usually accompanied by a wagging tail and body wiggles and slowly approaching to get pet.
