  It can be read as someone was very vehemently “protesting too much” in marking “no”. I’d just do a casual scribble, since I’m only a little bit racist

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cable News Weighs In On What Went Wrong⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I was just talking with a friend about this. How do you build up a left-wing populist party? Establishment Dems seem like they’d rather lose than bring in progressives. So it’d have to be very grassroots, right? Tea party definitely had some help from the top at the time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Read-onlys are cancer. Post stuff you want to see.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I posted twice, automod got one of them, but the other was gloriously empowering. Can recommend 8/10

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For states on the coast with excess solar energy why don't they invest in water desalination and pump that water back upstream?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Locally, yes. Solar (and wind) energy isn’t uniform in timing or location, so when there’s too much of it relative to consumption, there needs to be a profitable way to use it rather than just dumping it into resistive heating or letting the panels wear out faster at open circuit. Desalination is a pretty good idea since places with high solar resources also tend to be poorer in water resources. The challenge is the capital costs of desalination plants and competition with existing water sources - water rights are a giant ratfuck by themselves. I think it’ll make sense to build desalination plants that can absorb excess energy generation, but if there’s even political will for it, they’ll take a lot of time to build up

  I thought that too, but saw this: Image

  As a PC player, I’m glad our hardware cousins get to play 1.6 - it’s a good update and ConcernedApe again going above and beyond. What I’m most excited for though is that this may mean Haunted Chocolatier gets back into development. Fields of Mistria did a good job scratching the itch before I ran out of Early Access content, but I’m really looking forward to seeing what Barrone comes up with in his next game

  Throwing interested people into simple encounters is 100% the best way to explain what DnD is; you can see it clicking in his imagination!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨E.P.A. Moves to Limit Toxic Chemical Used in Hundreds of Products | The chemical, N-Methylpyrrolidone, or NMP, has been linked to miscarriages, reduced male fertility and other health problems.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We use a lot of this stuff in our research lab, and have pretty strict chemical hygiene protocols for it. EU is restricting NMP too, so we’re keeping an eye on regulations. It’s definitely hard to replace as it’s a great solvent, but I agree with the EPA that it shouldn’t be in consumer goods

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I generally try not to bring it up, but I know folks that’ve resumed eating meat and we’re welcomed back with high-fives. This argues against the “preachy” argument in this thread. And people don’t get criticized the same way over eating unnutritious fast food all the time. My view is that some people feel criticized by other folks’ different life choices. When Alice to be in an out group, Betty is confronted with their own life choices.

  Zach reino is a goddamn genius. This was my favorite but from that karaoke night episode. Pretty on-point animation!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I recently picked up Cobalt Core and am enjoying the take on slay the spire with additional crew/ship interactions. So far it seems to be missing StS’s fully broken synergies that you could achieve with e.g. thin deck infinites, armor stacking, etc - which was a fun aspect for me. But the writing is fun and the challenges are varied. I only have about half of the unlocks so hopefully it’ll open up more soon

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I have small kids whose sleep schedule is delicate and last change took us a week to recover from. It’s a needless, counterproductive, inherited tradition. I didn’t mind the change when it was just me, but it’s a lot of needless stress now. Also apparently, it causes accidents

  Nice flauting!
