TIL you can make butter while running.
Alright, from the picture, I assumed they were squeezing cream in their hands during the run and the sweat was involved in the process. I am very happy that is not the case.

The car of the guy who insists that you have a terminal case of TDS
People may disagree on the politics, but I think the majority would agree there is at least 1 wrong bumper sticker on that car.

Day 7: they still suspect nothing
My in-laws will buy this and only realize once they get home. I swear they always pick up the wrong item. I have no idea how they manage to never read what they're picking up.
Latest example: I needed some Tylenol. They came back with a sleep aid.

I just used NixOS daily for maybe a month? I really love how it's designed, but I had to give up because there were just so many small fixes I had to do and I found myself banging my head against the wall when I couldn't build something that depended on python-tk. You will see this criticism around a lot, but the documentation just isn't there yet. If you try to search for a fix, the packages have changed how they're configured since a solution was posted or they depend on a Nix flake which 50% of searches say not to use because it's experimental and 50% are all in on flakes.
I have since moved back to Arch, but I've started to use the nix package manager for some cases since you can on-demand non-permanently install a package.

I can't speak for all teachers, but I want to see work just so I know you didn't plug the question into a fancy calculator. I'm trying to assess your understanding.

1.2 Å
Reply in thread
Electron Microscopy. Often used to see very small structures at high resolution. So 1.2 Å is 1.2 angstrom, or 0.12 nm.
Edit: I should add that often at really high magnification, there is a lot of noise, so the joke is that non EM people would just see static. Not too far from the truth. Practice helps seeing the patterns!

Are stepkids of super wealthy people kind of rich by extension?
Reply in thread
In OP's defense, a lot of super wealthy people are pieces of shit, so this seems like a reasonable question.

TUXEDO Computers Unveils Intel-Powered InfinityBook Max 15 Gen10 Linux Laptop

Same here. Tuxedo Infinity Flex. The microphone has a prominent hiss and the webcam is very grainy. It will freeze if pressure is applied in just the wrong place. I support the mission, but I don't know if it was worth the price.

Am I mlissing something? I don't see a mention of herpes, COVID, or aggressive.

I love having a thick glass of water after letting psyllium husk powder sit in it
I get it. The texture is fantastic. Now, the flavor is another thing. This works best with orange metamucil.

Oh wow, I assumed it had to do with taking equipment off a truck or similar.

The Battle Over Solar on Farmland | Agrivoltaics is either a green revolution or a poison pill for good land. Depends which farmers you ask.
Is there a reason why these just aren't over large parking lots for covered parking?

Are there modern alternatives without a touchscreen? I bought a FiiO M11 a long time ago and I do light it but I would much prefer a no frills, purely button (or wheel) control player. Ideally, I could put Rockbox on it.

Service for TV-like programming?
I just recently found out about FieldStation42. It takes quite a bit of configuring, but I really like the idea.

Fun fact: peanuts are a legume and are delicious when mixed with candy corn.

Video call apps should have a baby/toddler mode that locks the touch screen
On the other end, they need to move the camera to the bottom of the screen so people with bifocals stop using only the bottom third of the camera.
