Higher than water viscosity, but nice try.

Those were a broth with aspirations.

I’m pretty sure Al could play a guitar, can the other two sing or play drums?
- Comment on Milk 5 days 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 6 days 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.

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? 2 weeks 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 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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.

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. 5 weeks 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. 5 weeks 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.
- Comment on Searching for signs of life on exoplanets is tough. 5 weeks ago:
Look for free Oxygen, the only reason it sits around is because of life. Sure, there are lots of forms of life that won’t show up that way, but if you do see it, you know you found life.
- Comment on What flavor are marshmallows? 5 weeks ago:
They’re supposed to disclose all the ingredients, the contents of my Olive Oil and Peanut Butter would argue they very much do NOT.
- Comment on I'm gonna die on this hill or die trying 1 month ago:
Supposedly it’s because there are a lot of them in the Bible, and since they use it as a training source, the AI just leans into them.
- Comment on New pathway engineered into plants lets them suck up more CO₂ - Ars Technica 1 month ago:
I can see a super productive version of algae being released into the oceans to solve our co2 problem.
And I wonder how long until the vast majority of the biosphere would collapse because of it.
- Comment on Why is the human body so incredibly bad at responding to colds? 1 month ago:
That’s basically all it is. Rhinoviruses don’t hang with zinc. The vitamin C is probably just to keep you from gagging on the taste.
It’s the quickest way to tell if it’s a cold or some other flu. If Zycam works, it’s some variant of a rhinovirus, and it’ll be dead in a couple days. If it doesn’t work, you’ve made some other viral friend. The other cold like strains don’t seem to give a shit about zinc, so if it’s not immediately obvious it’s working within about 30 minutes, move on to other remedies. If it is working, don’t over do it, you can fuck up your sinuses with too much zinc.
- Comment on Why is the human body so incredibly bad at responding to colds? 1 month ago:
People still get a cold? I haven’t seen one since zicam became a thing. Lots of flu variations fucking people up though.
- Comment on How often do guys have a haircut? 1 month ago:
When I was doing sales, every 2 weeks. Now that I don’t ever see a client, I buzz cut once a year. Might go 2 years this time so I can be a proper Gandalf for Halloween.
- Comment on Trump posted this in Truth. 2 months ago:
There will be an activity called an election. It won’t be free, or fair, or allow everyone to vote. The simplest method would be restricting voting locations to those deemed ‘safe from insurrection’ aka counties that voted for Trump.
- Comment on Trump posted this in Truth. 2 months ago:
Insurrection is grounds to declare martial law, remove those in power, and halt elections. He has to push hard enough to force people to fight back.

My mother in law gets by just fine without hers. But then again, she’s in Arkansas, so I’m not sure if that counts as a modern, or developed country.

That’s not like new, it’s dull as shit. And really hard to sharpen.

It’s the tidal current throwing the swimmer around. They swam along the same heading the entire time.
- Comment on Chippie owner given ‘devastating’ £40,000 fine by Home office for allegedly illegal hire 3 months ago:
It’s not usually the voters complaining about the fines, it’s the business owners that pay for opposition to them.
- Comment on So that's how they filmed it 3 months ago:
It is real, they did the same for inception and poltergeist. It’s a practical way to let actors walk on walls and such.
- Comment on Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada 3 months ago:
Toronto is more bound to US economics than Chinese economics. You could make the same map for every major city and probably tell which they were more influenced by.

I mean sure, if you want to make up your own meaning for right wing, then go for it.
