My personal tinfoil hat is that they are seeking the death penalty so he accepts a deal. They are scared of jury nullification.

You can define your fan to be moving space and the pushing of air is the side-effect.
- Comment on Me when I hear about Elon Musk 2 days ago:
Since Elon Musk is the de-facto POTUS now, you will hear about him a lot. You can thank the racists that think Trump would make eggs cheaper.
- Comment on I'm literally a thinking lump of fat 4 days ago:
The brain is not a “lump of fat”. If you desiccate the brain, most of what’s left are lipids, yes, but at that point you are not conscious anymore. The brain is a mix of proteins, carbohydrates, water and fat.

This looks like the official Reddit
ad distribution platformapp.OP should use RedReader instead.

Noam Chomsky. If you studied anything related to linguistics or even dabbled into that field, you will know the name.

- Comment on If billionaires and CEOs feel like they need to start paying for large security details, would that be an example of trickle down economics? 1 week ago:
The key difference is that companies don’t need to be at the top to survive but willingly choose to be the biggest slaver in town for profit. Their choice to do this is what puts pressure on everyone because they are being exploited and still have to meet their bodily demands that they absolutely require to survive.
Calling companies equal slaves to the system is disingenuous, they have the privilege of not being a living entity.
- Comment on why do i sometimes wake up feeling like a lot is going on? like why do i feel the day will be an adventure?? when i wake up 1 week ago:
In general, people do dream every night even if they don’t actively remember. You might subconsciously recall it and it is affecting your mood when you wake up when you had a particularly vivid dream.

This is what happens if you don’t allow slavers to carry a whip.

They are smart because they know how to spy on you without telling you.

Imagine having the advisory team named after the cryptoscam one of the members (at least) participated in. Doesn’t get more clowny and openly dishonest than that.

- Comment on Air fryers are simpler than you think, but still pretty neat [19:38] 5 weeks ago:
so an air fryer is more like a small convection oven?
if you want the steam to escape, you can just open the oven door for a few seconds and there it goes.

Just so you know: Germany’s government basically imploded yesterday. Has been a long time coming, really.
Also, if you move to any of the big cities (FFM, Hamburg, Bremen, Berlin) you won’t need to speak German.

Carbon neutrality means carbon dioxide neutrality. Carbon is just an element and literally everything you see and don’t see has some of it in it.
Also, around 2% of our sun’s energy production involves the Bethe-Weizsäcker cycle which is a cyclical fusion reaction using carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. (The main source of energy production is through a proton-proton chain since our sun is too small to rely on the CNO-cycle entirely)

- Comment on Jet Fuel 3 months ago:
The big problem China faced and why the one-child policy was abandoned after all is that there was a staunch focus on having a male child to “keep the bloodline alive” (cultural reasoning) which led to a stagnation in the 0-14 years age group.
Covid was most deadly for the age group of 65 and above and in 2019, they had proportionally less people aged 65+ than the US (13.50% in China vs. 16.4% in the US). Either China’s scientists failed immensely or the virus stemmed from bad health care practices in livestock markets selling bats.
- Comment on Jet Fuel 3 months ago:
The one child policy has been abolished a good while before covid.
- Comment on Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread 3 months ago:
“Cart returner” is not a job. It’s a thing regular employees have to do because some folks choose to be lazy. If everybody would return their carts, these employees would simply work on other shit in the store like cleaning or re-arranging misplaced items. Leaving the cart does not create jobs, it makes existing jobs more tedious.
- Comment on BBC Science 3 months ago:
Chromosomes are essentially packages of DNA and each end of a chromosome is extended by a protein called telomere, essentially sequences of “junk data” that protect the actual data (the DNA) from degradation or randomly fusing with other chromosomes. When cells split to renew, these telomeres are not fully copied to the new cell and thus shorten with each split. When they get too short, cells cannot split anymore, so there is a natural end to the renewal process (the so-called Hayflick limit).
Lobsters possess an enzyme called telomerase which can repair telomeres and thus their cells can, in theory, divide indefinitely. They will still die naturally tho due to diseases or growing to large to sustain their body size and die of malnutrition, but they don’t age the way we do.

We have these pictures with warnings printed on the packs. Some are disgusting shit like rotten teeth and lung operations, but there is one of a child that inspects a cigarette. Every time I see that one, I have to think how that kid looks like a little version of Putin, but maybe I’m just crazy.

- Comment on BBC Science 3 months ago:
Depends how you look at it. If you keep raising off-shoots from cuttings, you are essentially producing extensions of the very same plant and you can do that indefinitely. An individual plant will eventually die tho as they are not biologically immortal like some lobsters fot example.
