Never be the one holding the gun in a resistance situation.
- Comment on Why is amperage more "obscure" than voltage (or watts)? 1 week ago:
Amps are used when deciding the wiring. So that afterwords you know if your plug matches, it works in that outlet.
- Comment on How are locks and keys mass produced? 2 weeks ago:
Each tumbler has 4 to 6 sizes in 3 to 6 holes. They set the combination, then cut the key and put the matching tumblers in a standard housing.
Half the security on most locks is that it’s hard to get tools in the tiny slots. The actual number of combinations is small, but difficult to scan through.
- Comment on Man posts his incorrect opinion online 2 weeks ago:
Being barefoot is a luxury not everyone has. Combine that with not being able to wear slip on shoes and it’s a bit of a bigger problem.
- Comment on Man posts his incorrect opinion online 2 weeks ago:
Laced shoes are a pita to flip on and off. If you’re in a dry area there’s no reason to take off your shoes.
If you can wear sandals, or it’s a wet sloppy environment, then yeah it makes sense to take them off at the door.
- Comment on If the 2028 United States presidential election was held today, who would you vote for? 4 weeks ago:
I’ll vote for the candidate that I think is going to do the most to advance the policy goals I’d like. Right now that happens to be the opposite of everything the GoP is doing, and half of what the Dems are doing.
- Comment on in all fairness italian cuisine is a relatively recent invention 4 weeks ago:
I can’t agree, but I can very much understand.
- Comment on FBI Announces $100,000 Reward After Government Vehicles Broken Into in Minneapolis 5 weeks ago:
Pretty sure you could raise more than $100k to hide them.

Ah, the age of sleep related injuries has arrived.
- Comment on Having a rough morning. I'm still pondering the question about beavers, and my kid asks me THIS 2 months ago:
Why do you think there’s dirt on your window sill after the tooth fairy visits?
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 2 months ago:
What kind of weirdo doesn’t like celery? Next you’re going to tell me rhubarb is too tart, or you have to cook fennel.
- Comment on Change my Mind 2 months ago:
All part of the plan.
- Comment on Change my Mind 2 months ago:
They used to, back when the League of Women voters ran the debates and asked real questions. That’s why they stopped allowing that.
- Comment on Splitting Hairs, Splitting Atoms 2 months ago:
Just be glad no one showed you crunching life savers in the dark.
- Comment on I've never done THIS 2 months ago:
Yeah, a few times. They’re warm, and styled after actual cold weather hats. And sometimes it’s good to be festive.
- Comment on Times Analysis Finds Errors in Trump’s Supreme Court Filing That Calls for National Guard in Chicago 2 months ago:
Lies, that’s what you found, lies. In this context, also known as perjury.

Higher than water viscosity, but nice try.

Those were a broth with aspirations.
- Comment on Rush 3 months ago:
I’m pretty sure Al could play a guitar, can the other two sing or play drums?
- Comment on Milk 3 months ago:
Broth is cooked, sauce has viscosity, and to be a beverage, it would need to be the majority of the thing. So none of the above. It’s a mixture, until you eat enough of the cereal, then it’s a beverage.
- Comment on Why not just move to a gated community 3 months ago:
The closest shooting to me in town has been a naked guy running around the gated community next door, who shot a neighbor.
I’d be willing to bet if you actually checked for white collar crime, most gated communities have a far higher crime rate than open neighborhoods of the same affluence.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Standard idiom of comedy, always punch up, never punch down.
In other words, always speak truth to power, never kick someone that’s down.
- Comment on If someone evil want to murder a lot of people, couldn't they just add prions to meat and slowly infect everyone with Prion Diseases? 3 months ago:
Anyone making a bio weapon would go after a virus or fungus. Easier to cultivate, dispurse, and work with. Something that’s contagious and self replicating makes it much easier to hide the initial infection point.
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 | Review Thread 3 months ago:
Sequels this year have been really bad though. Between Trump, Dragon age, and Vampire Masquerade, I’m not excited about any more.
- Comment on Why don't police use rubber bullets instead of live rounds? I get if someone is holding a loaded weapon. But wouldn't a rubber bullet have the same effect with out putting holes in another person? 4 months ago:
Heavy clothing can essentially stop rubber bullets. Not really what you want when trying to stop someone.
A better option than any weapon is more officers. I don’t care what a cop is armed with, full military kit and they can still be taken down one on one. More guys always wins, and is so obvious in the moment that people don’t even get violent in most cases.

Except o2 is only produced in volume by a nova. Which isn’t happening on a planet.

All hail Goldfishius!

Get Back to me when you find it on a planet other than Earth.
- Comment on Searching for signs of life on exoplanets is tough. 4 months ago:
o2 isn’t as stable as most molecules containing oxygen. Free o2 oxidizes damn near everything, so it doesn’t last in an atmosphere without a new source. Take a look at the solar system. Every planet has oxygen, none of it is o2 outside of earth.
- Comment on Searching for signs of life on exoplanets is tough. 4 months ago:
Just about every element comes out of a super nova. By the time it’s around a planet, Oxygen has made friends, usually Hydrogen, so it’s no longer free molecules.
