Big Milk is so powerful, I've had older women in China ask me how I got so tall if I don't drink milk.

This is China, with no history of drinking cows milk and like 90% of the population is lactose intolerant.

I was a student in a lab, so I was tasked with making the 10% HCL bath to clean the glassware. I learned that day why you should always add acid to water, and not add water to acid. The building was evacuated.

A mild mannered working man one day hears a voice in his head whispering, "Give up everything and go to the casino!"
. The man is a little freaked out, but he puts it down to stress and ignores it. But the voice is there every day, day in and day out, not giving him a moments peace, whispering in his head, "Sell everything you own and go to the casino!"
.
This goes on for weeks, months. "Take all your money to the casino...it is your destiny!" Finally he can't take it any more, it's driving him mad. He can't sleep, he can't eat, he can't concentrate on anything. So he gives in and sells his house, his car, his worldly possessions, everything, and takes the money to the local casino. He bursts in the door like a wild man and yells out, "OK! I'm here! Now what ?!"
.
The voice whispers, "take all your money to the roulette table and bet on 15 black." The man shouts back, "Why should I ?!" The voice responds, "Do this, and you will have your answers!"
.
Weaving and stumbling, he stalks over to the roulette table and puts a bet down, all his money on earth, on 15 black. The ball drops, the roulette wheel spins, around and around it goes. The man watches it with feverish intensity, around and around, until finally the ball stops on...2 red.
.
The voice in his head whispers, ".....fuck!"

I thought this was interesting, TLDW is that exercising in cold (water/environment) increases appetite after, so it's not great for a person that's trying to lose weight

making the reavers the intentional by-product of alliance experiments

They were the accidental by-products, so I think some nuance is still there for the factions, although still clearly the browncoats were in the right ..

I was at a multi-day music festival awhile ago and people were using their EVs as batteries for giant sound systems and other A/V (showing movies etc). Pretty useful to have a giant battery on wheels.

I think it'll be Miller who takes more and more control

They are calling them "hydration breaks" and spinning it like it's to make sure players are ok in the heat/humidity.

That in Judaism, Jesus isn't all that special.

"...ask if you have given every bit you have during the pursuit"
.
GTFO with that, no sympathy for them

This was a prank that "we" would play while camping in the outdoors - at night, "we" would talk about going on a snipe hunt, and "we" would send everyone out to hunt for snipes, laughing as of course they never could find one. I never thought about whether this had racist overtones before, but I grew up in the South so I would have to default to "probably" :(

Agent641, I can NOT hear this!

My remembering of that line is "and one for the dame", and I grew up in the deep south…strange

That's the start to a really great argument for taxing the fuck out of the ultra rich…

Dr Gregor has a good series on this, basically yes, these mock meats are not "healthy", but they are healthier than animal meat. On nutrition facts, search for "ultraprocessed".
Here is a good one about this:
https://nutritionfacts.org/video/do-the-health-impacts-of-ultra-processed-foods-apply-to-plant-based-meat-alternatives/?queryID=72e5918e6e7116a506973f670a82c4c6

The 2 peasants are even very similar to the 2 droids, a tall skinny one and a short stout one

I thought I remembered hearing that the Endor fight was pretty explicitly Vietnam

I saw a video where they talked about a bunch of studies about ultra processed foods, and the top 3 worst foods for health were (iiirc)

1. Processed meats like bacon and hotdogs
2. Sugary drinks
3. Sugary baked goods (think this included oreos and snack cakes etc)

Those 3 were like 99% of the danger of processed foods.

When I was a kid, I would set an alarm for like 2am, just for this. I was a dumb kid (now not a kid...)

The way the word "processed" is used so casually is really saddening.

If you're going to do this at least be honest about it instead of hiding behind these words to make it seem less terrible. You're killing and dismembering these birds.
