A work of art
I find it odd that it what looks to be chip board pretending to be breeze blocks. Whoever punched it is lucky it wasn't concrete.

What film, show or game that is not necessarily 'underated' didn't have the level of social impact it deserved.
Orphan Black.
Intriguing show that entertained throughout, backed by one of the greatest acting performances I've ever seen in tv by Tatiana Maslany.

Is it safe to use pans with peeling nonstick coating?
My girlfriend is a materials scientist specialising in non-stick coatings.
The first time she came to my house, I had to throw away all teflon with even a scratch on it. She said once the surface is broken it will leach chemicals into your food.
She said they are perfectly safe whilst the coating is in tact and uses non-stick pans herself. Just replace them as soon as you notice the surface is broken.

Double chocolate
In cookie lingo, double chocolate means the cookie dough is chocolate flavoured as well as having choc chips. Triple chocolate means the chocolate dough with choc chips also has a chocolate coating on the bottom.

Maybe it is arranged so the vertices of the stop sign align with points on the sine function?

I think this chart is %change from before covid to after covid. This chart doesn't say they are consuming most physical but they have increased the amount of physical media since covid. But then why no negative percentages?
Maybe I'm confused 😕

Gateshead, England Heavy floods at street due to extreme rains in
Seems like this video was made by AI? I'm not convinced a single video it showed was actually from Gateshead as i didn't recognise anywhere it showed.

Thanks i understand now. These graphs could definitely be a little more clear.
Edit: i actually looked again, and it does explain what its showing, i just think i and others have already glanced past the writing after all the other information at the very top.

Its sort of like survivorship bias. People with toxic relationships need to talk more about it and feel the need to post more/comment more asking for help or vent about there bad situation.
Reality is there are more good relationships that people dont feel the need to post or talk about as there isn't much to say beyond 'my partner loves me and respects my interests'.

May as well buy burgers in the US, since you already paid for most of it through taxes!

On a serious note i read a while back that they are looking into a type of gut bacteria to give to cows which will significantly reduce the methane produced by the cows digestive system.

In UK we always say 9th of August 2023, ie the way our dates are written and i would say is more natural haha. Maybe Americans find it more natural the other way around because your dates are other way around. If you use the date system the uk has maybe it would sound more natural to speak perhaps.

Neurodegenarative disorders poke holes in the infinite consciousness idea. Each day the brain slowly wears away, the consciousness of self is never the same.
Not to mention that the universe itself is pretty certain to end eventually. If there isn't a big crunch, then every single atomic partlcle has a half life, one day there will be near 0 protons left.
My take on consciousness is that you essentially 'die' each time you go into a deep sleep. When you wake, a new stream of consciousness starts in a brain ever so slightly different from the one that fell asleep the night before. Your new consciousness remembers everything you once did and is in a brain that handles stimuli and emotions almost exactly as the day before. But it isn't the same, it cant be as cells have died or been replaced during the down time that was a deep sleep.
Better to think there is an end after death, infinite consciousness would be terrible as you would eventually just be utterly sick of existence after a googleplex of years has passed by. I don't understand the concept of heaven, as good as it would be at first, it would eventually become torture of non stop existence.

I really didn't like it either. I found every character annoying, so i didn't care what was going on.

Am I misunderstanding these features or do they just not work?
