I want a bioengineer to make me Dino Nuggets.
They probably taste like chicken nuggets. But, maybe not. It’s for science!

Yeah. I’m okay with spiders or the leggy bois.
As long as they’re over… there.

Get rid of their food, they go away.
Not saying you should do that… but if, you find the wolf spiders are assholes that like to run across your face while you’re sleeping, for example…

- Comment on How do people actually dumpster dive to get free food? Are there any other cheap/free ways like this to get food? 3 days ago:
then there is that, to be sure. lawyers have ruined a lot of things.
in any case, I suspect there’s also logistics involved- getting the donated food to the shelter.

The difference is, that the rotor is allowed to move, and they’re switching coils in the stator to keep it going.
In this system, the force pulling the magnet towards the truck is being negated by the arm fixed to the truck.
If you placed a bunch of electromagnets on the guard rail, that would be more like a motor (technically, a linear motor,)

The fuck kind of world do we live in where we need to guard dumpsters?
In most urban places, an unlocked dumpster is asking for all sorts of things that normally cost extra to get dumped. Downtown Minneapolis, an open construction dumpster can go about a day without a mattress showing up (biohazard. Massive. Biohazard.) or shitloads of furniture.
In any case illegal dumping drives up the costs for people who do own the dumpster so most times, they’re locked at the very least.

Yes. It was a salad made with left over carnitas, dried cranberry and a homemade vinaigrette. (Yes, I’m a little vindictive about it.)
She also tossed the front desk guys rice and beans because he included some impossible bacon.
(That was like the day before she got fired for other reasons.)
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 3 days ago:
Pointing out the consequences; the climate damage, all that is one thing.
Respectif conversation.
Actively tossing out people’s lunches isn’t going to convince anyone of anything, though.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 4 days ago:
Precisely.
Personal anecdotes, there was a particular vegan at work. The smell of cooked meat made her feel sick.
Instead of doing the rational thing and taking lunch at her desk; she proceeded to insist that the break room be meat-free. It escalated into all manner of preaching, “shame on you,”- including signage, nasty emails. Shaming with “don’t you care about me?!” All sorts of victimization.
The reality was any attempt at accommodating her was met with “not enough”. The entire office in the end, according to her, needed to be a complete vegan zone.
She didn’t last long for other reasons, but none of those shenanigans really helped. (let’s just say the attitude didn’t stop at being a vegan.)
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 4 days ago:
Usually it’s not veganism, itself. Rather, it’s the vegans.
Specifically the annoyingly loud, self-righteous, insists-everyone-must-join-them vegans.
Unfortunately, most people only really see this sort of vegan- rather than the more common, average sort of person who happens to also be vegan.

So… I don’t know about with amblyopia….
But binoculars have an adjustment that brings the view through the two scopes together. If you see two circles (or two overlapping circles), you should adjust it.
- Comment on we love those power laws 5 days ago:
The sea people were climate migrants. Actually, we don’t know that much about them except to say Mesopotamia really hated them.
They may have invaded Egyptian time or two, but they really don’t known where they came from.
But it’s almost certain that the massive trade network that was highly specialized and crisscrossed the known world collapsed causing everyone to get isolated.
Tin, for example only came from one place and the mines just stopped producing.

hope they’re just nasty-tasting.
- Comment on [Serious] Do you know of any processed snack foods with some vitamins? 5 days ago:
that’s a good point, too.
- Comment on [Serious] Do you know of any processed snack foods with some vitamins? 5 days ago:
Flinstone vitamins, maybe? Or any other kids gummy vitamins.
I would highly recommend talking with a child therapist before this becomes an ingrained habit.

But like, he was afraid of stepstools where he was perfectly happy on 40’ ladders. There were a lot of things.
He was good at his job, and he was always polite and considerate. (Including some small but memorable gestures.)

I knew an actuary once… their company specialized in various healthcare risks. this guy specialized in workplace hazards, and occupational health (the company itself was on the ‘what are the risks of xyz proceedure’, but they also had him for liability type things.)
a generally nice and decent guy, but he had some incredibly strange phobias.
