  The crux is that a first-past-the-post voting system incentivizes voting for one of the two big parties. Voting third party is equivalent to voting against your preference of the top two. There’s a bunch of really neat voting systems that avoid this problem handily.

  That’s not at all legal under GDPR. Nor is having deny all be harder than accept. As is tradition however companies don’t give half a shit until fines start happening.

  And yet suicides measurably decreased when the switch to blister packs was made.

  They make little pillows filled with seeds or cherry pits. You can microwave 'em to get them hot. Love those things. Would recommend the seed filled ones over the cherry pit ones. The cherry pits feel coarse.

  Okay but if you’ve never had rice with sesame seed dressing you’re depriving yourself. Shit’s like magic.

  Just replace them as soon as you notice the surface is broken.

  So like twice a month?

  I used to play with a metal bodied pen at my desk, and you could totally shock yourself by touching it to your chin while aimed at the CRT.

  My mom about 5 minutes after taking the first morphine pill: “Hmm, I wonder when I’m allowed to take the next one [checks clock]”

  Shit’s evil.

  You can fit in way smaller spaces when backing in. Once you get the knack for it it’s not really harder than going in forwards either.

  protip: look in your side mirrors and pretend it’s a video screen. if you want to go left steer left, if you want to go right steer right. Don’t even start thinking about “It’s on the left in the mirror so on the right in real life, but it’s backwards so…” or you’ll have a bad time.

  That hella depends on the kind of tree. Just had a 9 meter hazelnut tree in my back yard cut down to about one meter. Not a leaf left on the thing. Couple months later and it’s already back to two meters with a lot of leaves on it. it’s expected to be back to about 6 meters next year.

  Try that with e.g. an oak though and it’ll not go as well.

  this sort of really briefly works if the observer is nearer the new location. Light from the new location reaches the observer before the lack-of-light reached the observer from the old location.

  still would only work for the tiniest amount of time and confuse no-one, but then this isn’t hard sci-fi.
