- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 17 hours ago:
Or the Holy Trinity of Cajun and creole cooking, celery, onions, and bell pepper.
- Comment on Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon 4 days ago:
Check out an app called Karrot. It’s basically craigslist but you periodically have to confirm your location, so you know all items are local. It also has a shockingly accurate photo identification and pricing feature.

- Comment on Are all dinosaur fossils 'replicas'? 1 week ago:
Also the real bones are often too heavy to support in a display, so lighter replica pieces are used.
- Comment on how do plants in a green house get enough co2? 2 weeks ago:
Plants only absorb CO² and release oxygen when photosynthesizing, which requires sunlight. At night plants undergo cellular respiration where they absorb oxygen and release CO². Some sealed terrariums haven’t had any water, air, or fertilizer for decades.
- Comment on "Does Hitler have a right to privacy?" and other big questions in research ethics. 4 weeks ago:
Most arguments for using Hitler’s DNA end up supporting the eugenicist trash Nazi scientists espoused. There is little practical use for it.
- Comment on Bank Workers, Rejoice! 4 weeks ago:
Depends on the group. Iroquois houses were communal but Pueblo were more like townhomes. Other groups, like the Mississippian culture built individual homes.
- Comment on Bank Workers, Rejoice! 4 weeks ago:
Because they built houses. It’s not like white people invented the idea of home ownership.
- Comment on Bank Workers, Rejoice! 4 weeks ago:
The Pueblo, Iroquois, and other non-nomadic Native American groups might disagree about the colonialism part.

As a geologist from Illinois, I wish we had some Igneous granite. In my field camp we cored 500 feet of glacial loess.

If you ever get the chance, Vietnamese chè is incredible.
- Comment on Beans 2 months ago:
Red bean ice cream is delicious. It’s not that odd when you realize that vanilla, chocolate, and coffee are all beans and all common ice cream flavors.
- Comment on Why doesn't Hamas or Israel just meet at a predetrmined place and time and just have out or kill the crap out of each other? Instead of involving civs who don't have anything to do with war? 2 months ago:
Because that only makes sense if both sides are roughly the same size and strength. When one side is outnumbered and outgunned, it is better to hide and ambush.
- Comment on Is there a drink with taste of energy drink without caffeine? 2 months ago:
Celsius has a line for caffeine free options
- Comment on proof of wormholes 2 months ago:
Their origin is a pretty interesting read too.
- Comment on Should you look for a relationship if it feels like a compromise? 3 months ago:
There are a whole spectrum of nonmonogamous types of relationships out there. Any relationship will have it’s compromise, but what those compromises are is entirely based on you and your partner or partners.

And kill all the pets I assume.
- Comment on Reality vs Fantasy 5 months ago:
The rule I’ve always used is that if the first letter of the word is a vowel, it’s “an” and if it isn’t use “a”.
For example, “an apple” or “a potato”.

If you can get the boat going before it floods, the boat moving through the water will create enough suction to drain out any water. You just better have a plug waiting for you at your destination.

When will people learn that far right extremism is dangerous?
- Comment on The Faculty, any day 6 months ago:
I, Frankenstein
CGI filled brainless action with demons and gargoyles fighting a secret war. Aaron Eckhart as Frankenstein is stuck in the middle. The whole thing tries to copy the vibe of Underworld and mostly fails. Somehow I still love watching it. It’s just the right kind of bad for me.
- Comment on The Faculty, any day 6 months ago:
Empire Records.
I make references from that movie all the time and nobody ever gets it. Doesn’t stop me.
- Comment on What's a TV series you've tried repeatedly to get into, but can't? 6 months ago:
It wasn’t the format but the content that makes it hard for me to binge. It’s just so heavy, it becomes overwhelming after a while. I have to step back because it starts impacting my mood negatively.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
As much as being out or outed can put you at risk in many places in the world, I don’t think there is an obligation to put yourself at risk by being an activist. That being said, there are ways to provide aid to those in need besides activism.
- Comment on What's a TV series you've tried repeatedly to get into, but can't? 6 months ago:
Same. It’s just not bingeable and I struggle to stick to any show that isn’t.
