Since when is aluminium biologically important? I’m under the impression that humans (and other life?) do not need aluminium at all.

Having said that, my info is that it’s nothing to worry about. It is very common in food (naturally and since forever), and the body can get rid of it, and they haven’t been able to show adverse effects except in very very high doses. That’s the messaging I’ve been seeing anyway.

Two things, yes. I can’t be trusted to time anything by myself just by looking at the clock, and you often have multiple things cooking at the same time.

A measuring jug (from oxo) that allows you to see the marks when looking at it from above.

Also I have two timers, and I need and use both.

All the big (and probably small) schisms happened primarily for political reasons (i.e. material interests, power struggles). It’s just that lots of other issues (including small differences) tend to align themselves along the same lines, because I guess that helps with the polarization. Doesn’t mean this “narcissism of small differences” doesn’t exist, just that it’s not the cause, but rather part of the dynamic.

What’s more strange is that 5 people today commented on this 4 month old post.

Better acceleration, steeper inclines, tighter curves at same speed, better ride quality and less wear. As someone has mentioned below, normal trains could go a lot faster than they do in practice, because the ride quality, wear and wind resistance get atrocious, and the tracks need to be exceptionally straight. Making a maglev go fast is more feasible, though you still have the wind resistance issue obviously.

Guess who made waffles!!

No it isn’t. The whole premise of that movie is incorrect. Mike Judge should be ashamed of having played into the fucked up worldview of classism and biological essentialism of your average redditor elitist bigot.

Is this actually due to attention span, or are these children basically illiterate?

For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have repeatedly debunked. And many teachers and parents don’t know there’s anything wrong with it.

Chinese Cooking Demystified is

The GoPro format is great, you can see what he does with his hands and you see all of the cooking, with practically zero cuts in the video. All the while he explains why he’s doing the things you see.

It’s not a made up hierarchy and I didn’t internalize anything - I agree with the hierarchy!

This is fucking gold.

Mate, you’re looking for approval from westerners by kicking down east. You internalized the whole racial hierarchy some imperial fucks invented with them on top, and you’re trying to climb it.

Move where? Another apartment where another landlord is going to hurt me financially? What does your believe system say should be done when my freedom from harm is being infringed upon?

This question is a setup for assholes to spread their vile shit.

My landlord is hurting me financially. What do think would be the appropriate level of violence to make them stop?

“The poor should be prevented from breeding, amiright?” fucking hell who upvotes this shit

Yeah the artificial intelligence gurus are deluded. And don’t get me started on Kurzgesagt, those fucks think a couple of billion dead due to climate change is reason to be hopeful, and that Bill Gates’ investing in carbon capture is going to save the rest, because, err, magical thinking he gives them money.

Launching spacecraft from earth and putting them into various orbits needs a lot of energy. It’s just going to be cheaper to mine stuff on earth or recycle. With fully automated robots and something as close as Mars and mining something super rare and valueable maybe, but it gets exponentially stupider when you need to send humans or go to another solar system.

I appreciate the stab at the US empire, but if I may be serious for a moment: It makes no sense to come here to steal our shit when there’s countless stars and planets in the universe. I don’t even think it makes the least bit of sense for humans to ever go to Mars and mine minerals there, given the logistics involved. Any alien smart enough to come here is going to be smart enough to realize that going to the pub is way easier and more fun.
