Belfast has the red edition.

There’s no such thing as rewatching Black Books too many times.

Right? That’s exactly why I give my business automations names like SupaWubbaDubbaHappyTimeAuthyWauthyTeeHeeSecurityWorkflow.

Protons. As in protons, How many. On a weird logarithmic scale with 7 in the middle, of course.

Yeah, that’s exactly what we should be concerned about. These problems aren’t going to get better by killing people.

The mother of a gradeschool friend was at Kent State in May 1970 when the national guard shot and killed 4 students and wounded 9 others. She said it was appalling and horrifying.

Are we really going back to this shit? I guess this country learned nothing.

I’ll call them whatever you want – Kekse, galletas, piškotki – if you help us get rid of the fascists.

But personally I’ll always associate the word ‘biscuit’ with this.

Ooh, do Harry S. Truman vs Harry R. Truman next!

+1, I’ll make cookies.

I was responding to this part.

Because chemtrails are basically just clouds. It’s just water vapor from the airplane engines condensing in cold atmosphere at high altitudes. […] Go out in the winter and breathe with open mouth. You’re now breathing out chemtrails.

I agree with your reaction to the chemtrail conspiracy crowd who are clueless on science, but this is too oversimplified IMO.

Yep, I understand all that and agree with you. The chemtrail conspiracy people are unhinged.

I’m just criticizing the statement that fossil-fuel vehicles are only emitting water, when we know for a fact that the combustion products are pollutants.

We don’t have a good alternative to planes so it’s probably better to require the industry to offset its pollution. Not than anyone wants flights to be more expensive. But as usual the ultra-wealthy take the most flights yet don’t pay as much as they should.

Well if you can see condensed water vapor in open air, it’s most likely nucleating around something. And that something is probably the combustion products from the jet fuel. I don’t know exactly what each of those thousands of molecular structures are, but burning fuels in general can produce a whole host of compounds including Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) that can be rather carcinogenic. And that pollution most likely settles somewhere on the planet surface eventually.

As takeda said in another comment, it might not be worse than more local sources like cars or trains or power plants, but it’s very unlikely to just be water, and probably not healthy.

I’m not saying it’s a deliberate spread of chemicals and it’s certainly not the mind control nonsense that conspiracy lunatics think. No, most combustion products are just waste with no real use. But calling it “just water” or “harmless clouds” can’t be entirely right unless you believe carbon atoms can just disappear.

My actual favorite is electric guitar followed by violin, and I’ll gladly expound, but those have already been mentioned.

So for this comment I’ll go with handpan drum. Those sound so amazing and soothing to me.

The dev thought “I know exactly what you meant, but I still insist you to do it my way”.

Ok but was it a true penguin, or a false penguin like all the extant species today?

I’m mildly allergic so yeah they will fuck me up.

If I’m in an enclosed space with one (e.g. car) I’ll start a sneezing fit. And I assume if I eat one my mouth will itch or swell (not even gonna attempt it).

My sister in law recently quipped that “Trees are a social construct” and at first I thought she was just being glib but now I can’t get that statement out of my head.
