This post confuses me. Why would code be simpler than the math notation? Both involve symbolic abstraction of basically the same complexity

Imagining calling someone an NPC unironically.

... Or, you know, just adapt the recipe. Not simping for shrinkflation here, but it's pretty dumb to buy more than you need just to exactly match a recipe for queso. Shit ain't analytical chemistry

Generally agree, but damaging gas facilities can have undesirable consequences. An extreme methane leak is worse than combusting that gas

Two words: pube loofah. The mons pubis is a great place to lather up. Then I just scoop up soap with my bare hands and bring it where it needs to be.

As we've recently learned it isn't just about oil. It's about maritime trade more broadly. One of the explicit purposes of the US Navy is to defend maritime trade. The Suez canal and the Persian Gulf are two of the most important maritime trade routes.

Way too much citric acid

Personally I prefer the flavour of plant-based alternatives over dairy milk. So I don't see myself having any interest in buying it.

However, if they can engineer milk proteins for cheese production than I am very excited. Casein proteins are biochemical miracles and no plant-based cheeses are able to mimic the protein matrix in cheese properly. Instead they end up relying on starches to set, which isn't the same at all.

I definitely do not value having lifetime access to 99.999% of the media I consume enough to have to deal with hoarding physical copies.

After the elections in 2024 the picture could be different. Putin's long term strategy has been to weaken NATO by supporting NATO-skeptic parties. Depending on election outcomes there is a real possibility that key members fail to adhere to their Article 5 obligations

If even a small fraction of Russia's nuclear arsenal is functional then they are still incredibly dangerous

Of which there are thousands in arbitrary detention waiting to be tried in sham military courts.

Cost per gram is the only sensible measurement

Why are we starting new coal mines anywhere?

They were enemy combatants because they were within bombing radius of an enemy combatant. That was the American logic in Iraq and Afghanistan in order to print more humane-looking civilian casualty numbers

The initial push into the land is often funded by their agricultural ministry. Settlers force Palestinians off their land (with IDF support) to put their own sheep/goats out to pasture. The WSJ had a video earlier this year where they interview settlers and they show the reporters explicitly how they are receiving funding from the ministry. The rest of the funds come from private American donors who enthusiastically support the illegal annexations.

Bring it to Canada!

For me personally higher rates have been a net benefit. I have no debt and my capacity to save increased considerably over the period that rates were rising. It's been great to get better cash yields and to pick up longer dated bonds at generationally low prices.

It's shameful that Trudeau himself started the unwinding of the carbon tax. This home heating exclusion for Atlantic Canada was the beginning of the end.
