Wait, why wasn’t the manager on the IRC server with the rest of us?

Prayer heals disease by editing history. Of course you’re not aware of all the diseases it has cured!
- Comment on Ate there more galaxies in the universe, than stars that can be seen from Earth with the naked eye, or with a telescope? 1 week ago:
That was not the question.
- Comment on What is negative voltage? 1 week ago:
Voltage is like air or water pressure, and there is an ambient pressure in a system (like the atmospheric pressure) that we arbitrarily call zero. Negative () voltage would mean that there is enough voltage/pressure to force electrons to be emitted to ground (ie the ambient pressure) and positive () voltage would mean that electrons can be accepted by ground.
*) Negative and positive are a bit confusing because we originally assumed the force carrying particle was positive, but the electron turned out to be negative; there were some historical quirks as a consequence and some things are backwards from what you would anticipate, and sometimes I get them wrong.

It’s a bit better today, I can actually see the sun as a dim red disc in the sky.

So what has released more waste into the world, all the nukes including those, or the equivalent mega-wattage of all other human power generation? Dunno if you noticed but our future climate is FUCKED to the tune of hundreds of trillions of dollars, while meanwhile very few of us are suffering from the effects of nuclear power genenration.

That does not sound universal, that sounds like an artifact of how things are done in your country.

I don’t really even think about it anymore.

It hasn’t been said but I assume you’re closing the windows when the outside temp is higher than the inside temp.

trying each day, little by little, to rid the world of evil
I can’t imagine who you think you’re talking about, but your country is a menace to the world, and this is how you are coping with that.

Anyone walking around doing spermatogenesis without a vasectomy is a fucking idiot.

Congratulations on not having a child! You deserve attention and praise, but most of it is going to go to expectant parents who are probably just going to fuck things up for everyone, for generations to come. But I see you. You rock.

The experiences of animals are real and matter. Their suffering is identical in nature to your own.

Absolutely, yes.
- Comment on I am someone who works out daily and sweats a lot. Just doing laundry doesn't seem to adequately clean the underarms of my shirts. What are some ways to clean these areas of my clothing better? 3 weeks ago:
A human buying antiperspirant is like Superman buying kryptonite. Sweating is one of our biggest super powers. Learn to love it. Shower before you work out, and you won’t stink.

That’s not how testosterone works. It’s not fuel, it’s just a signal. Everyone’s neutral point is calibrated differently depending on developmental events mainly in the womb. It’s not about how much absolute testosterone you have in a snapshot, it’s about how much higher or lower you are than your own personal baseline.
- Comment on How come late night hosts always seem to think every guest did good shit whether a movie or book or whatever? Why not just be honest and say I thought this sucked. And get in a real discussion.? 4 weeks ago:
Presumably if they wanted your admiration, they wouldn’t be a fucking talk show host, which is by definition and by design a shill for corporate products and messages. There was that one time that one guy said something cool and the other time that other guy said that thing to that famous person, but come on; that’s not their job. Earning your admiration is not the job. A talk show is not the personal platform of the host, any more than a role in a movie is the personal platform of the actor.

Okay but you’re presumably retired to a one room apartment and late night talk show hosts have millions of dollars.

“Why aren’t sales people honest and critical about the products they sell?”
- Comment on Why can't I apply SPF50 sunscreen twice to get SPF100 protection? 4 weeks ago:
Thank you, that is clear.
You say “better off”, but that doesn’t really account for how easy it is to switch. It’s not like the effort spent grabbing the highest available SPF is taking away from other anti-cancer efforts. I’m not seeing a downside here, though the benefit isn’t as great as I assumed; probably a figure of speech.

Same reason you sometimes capitalize deaf/Deaf. They are different words.

Eggs and milk are not healthy for humans to consume and require atrocity to produce. What is the point in your confusion?

ahh see now you have retreated to “original” meaning. So by that metric, everyone who’s heart is light (ie “gay”) is attracted to everyone who isn’t their gender.
- Comment on Why can't I apply SPF50 sunscreen twice to get SPF100 protection? 5 weeks ago:
It’s 19/20 of course but you’re thinking in terms of avoiding risky events. Sun damage is cumulative. Every minute of UV exposure in your lifetime adds up. That means you get half the cancer over the course of your life if you use 29/40 instead of 19/20.

By god I think you’ve cracked the thing.
