- Comment on 50% survival rate 5 weeks ago:
Death rate is also strongly correlated with when you were born. We’ve gotten much better at not being dead in the last 100 years. For people born in 1925 the death rate is nearly 100%, but for people born in 2025 it has dropped close to zero!

Which will come first, Trump’s beautiful perfect plan or GRRM’s Winds of Winter?
- Comment on Too many looks. 2 months ago:
When all you have is a few bone fragments and a bunch of teeth, it’s pretty hard to figure out what my dude looked like! With each new fossil we get a better picture.
He keeps getting better and bite-ier every year.

Ball outsourced the optics, not really their specialty. Also made of toxic beryllium so preferable not to machine in-house!

Former Colorado governor, current senator. Kinda looks like Jimmy Carter did 30 years ago. I’d trust him to farm my peanuts.

It’s so weird. Half of y’all will pull the earbuds out of our ears on the subway to shoot your shot and the other half will be actively getting motorboated and wondering if we like you.
The second type of guy is perfect, by the way. You’re doing good, stay humble.

Lol not jealousy, just not so desperate I’d fuck anything that moves. I guess I can afford to have standards.
- Comment on Anon is true romantic 3 months ago:
Not everyone is that pathetic. Most of us actually want to interact with people and find out what they’re like before fucking them.

Exactly!

Geology is just a specialized field of chemistry. Biology too for that matter.
- Comment on How I explain my job 4 months ago:
Also a process engineer. Real answer is “I develop procedures for cleaning contamination critical hardware”. My flippant answer is “I tell other people how to do their jobs”.
- Comment on Anon's coworker is a flat-earther 4 months ago:
There’s always an implied “them” hiding the conspiracy as well. It’s just a couple of short steps from flat earth to “jews will not replace us”.

- Comment on Whales is whales 6 months ago:
If both trout and sharks are fish, then so are whales. Mammals are more closely related to trout than trout are to sharks.

Easy, that’s just nRT/P, assuming the pineapple is an ideal gas.

I’m absolutely not denigrating Pratchett or calling him boring. I sincerely think he’s great. I just think those other books are pretty great too. They’re all really interesting reads. I don’t mind reading disturbing material though, my first grown-up novel was The Shining swiped from my dad’s bookshelf.😅
- Comment on I learned so much 6 months ago:
Terry Pratchett is great and all, but don’t you have any interest in learning new things? The Jungle is essentially journalism, it exposed real shit that was happening in our own country… and being fed to us. It changed minds. It basically led to the creation of the food and drug administration. It saved lives. That’s a powerful work of art. Revulsion is the intended response. It’s kind of a horror novel.
The other books you listed…. How about wonder? Hope? Fear? Fascination? Dread? Excitement? At least they make you feel something. Boredom is what kills love for reading in my experience. None of the books you listed are boring.
- Comment on I learned so much 6 months ago:
Those books are all fucking awesome.
