Not an American, but here’s how I see it: It’s ammo.

To Trump supporters, deporting immigrants is seen as a good thing that he’s doing. But they also usually have a staunch anti-LGBTQ stance. Trump blowing a dude, regardless of if this bubba is or isn’t Bill Clinton, goes pretty hard against their stances. If there’s ever plausible evidence, it might be what makes Trump supporters see him for what he is to the rest of the world: a bumbling, lying idiot.

Putin potentially having such evidence further escalates this into yet another indicator that Trump might be playing his nation into Russia’s hands.

Spin-coated fast food condiments coming soon

Those you mentioned are pretty family friendly, I think. I’d add GoodTimesWithScar, he’s pretty wholesome.

To add to this comment, I’m over 30 and still can’t resist binging a few episodes once in a while, particularly Mumbo Jumbo’s Redstone magic. Don’t feel the need to watch everyone. I usually stick with Mumbo Jumbo and then when someone else builds something really cool I hop onto their video and watch a few episodes, like when Scar built the death star, or then when Grian showed Scar his secret temple I went to watch him build it. (… I had significantly more free time at that time due to life circumstances)

Your comment made me realize that used to be the same for me, but it’s been years since the last time I remember being given a straw. I guess they’re phasing them out

In Portugal, it’s very common to find bananas from the Madeira islands being sold in stores, even in like our equivalent of Walmart or Carrefour.

They’re like half the length of a Cavendish, a bit more tasty, but still very similar. I very much prefer them.

I know it’s not as exotic as your selection but it was something I was able to eat regularly and pretty accessibly there

Man, I think I’d prefer that outcome. Getting laid is easy compared to finding fun people to game with

Ah, not to worry, even professionally it’s very common to buy your wafers. I am on mobile data right now so I’ll check out those videos later!

Basically, every single machine that needs a vacuum chamber - so almost all non-wet processes, like physical/chemical vapor deposition, reactive ion etching, scanning electron microscopy (although a good optical microscope will do if you’re not at the nano scale… Which is almost certainly the case if you’re doing things at home).

Honestly maybe I’m just too used to the lab setting and am underestimating how much you can actually do without vacuum processing. I’ll take a look later: this all looked so out of the reach of an ordinary person that I never even considered following content creators who do this. Thank you!

Ah, no worries at all. Thank you for all you do anyway!

I love writing systems of all kinds, but besides Greek and Cyrillic (and my native Latin) I never really managed to dedicate enough time to memorize them long-term. All my Korean is gone and can only get like 30% of the Arabic alphabet now… It’s something I’d love to invest more tike into, actually.

(to be clear, when I say Arabic, it’s actually the farsi variation… only because I know a surprising number of Iranian people)

Wait, I work in cleanrooms professionally. Fabricating my own semiconductors at home always seemed like a cool idea, but really out of reach. I kind of always wanted to keep old machines from the labs I worked at, but with such expensive things they never threw anything away (of course)!

Isn’t it prohibitively expensive and/or noisy? What type of projects do you do?

You’re a very good person!

My mother’s dog was a dog we gave “temporary” shelter to… Five years ago. She’s 10 now and we couldn’t be happier. She came to us from a very difficult home situation (her previous owner had just escaped from a violent marriage, and we think the dog might have been a victim too, but nobody was ever able to prove anything). She’s still a little monster and she’s still very afraid of everything, but there’s no comparing how she was when we adopted her and how she is now.

I had an ex who lived somewhere where people often went to to abandon their dogs once they grew too old, too big or too aggressive. Her family also took in as many as they could: when we broke up, they had something along the lines of 10 dogs. It was very rewarding, too, as she got a good friend in each and every one of them. But it really hurts my heart to imagine that someone could be so cruel as to just abandon a dog like that, even hurt them.

It’s true that barely anyone is into actually contributing, but I assure you a fair amount of people are into the actual open source implementations and are thankful for your efforts!

Any game in particular you contributed to that you want to share?

Which anime? I don’t recall watching anything along those lines, but it sounds like a show I’d enjoy

I don’t know if I trust your answer based on your username

Invert this rule to get the maximum age you can date (defined as the person whose minimum age is your current age):

min age = (your age / 2) + 7 max age = (your age * 2) - 14

If you’re 30, then you can reasonably date people between 22 and 46. So the other guy can add even more years before 1990.

I mean they look like a kid to me

We can probably never get rid of animal testing entirely for clinical research, we’ll always need to validate simulations in animals before moving on to humans.

Getting rid of animal testing is the exact purpose of organ-on-a-chip research! This is actual bioengineered cultures, not simulations (not dissing on computational biochemistry - also extremely important)

If you can test without the full animal, then models (in this context, models = what you use for testing, be it cultures or animals) based on human induced pluropotent stem cells (ie cells taken from live, adult humans and forced to revert to a stem cell status) in an in vitro setting can actually be more relevant to human physiology than live animal models.

There are a lot of caveats (if it were easy, it would already be done), and there are barriers needed to be overcome for in vitro models to even come close to in vivo and ex vivo models. But a lot of people are investing in it, not (only) due to ethics but also due to lower model cost and better match of in vitro results with the actual effect on a live human body.

I can give papers when I get home, if you want.

Edit: I went on a deep dive on medical applications: suffice it to say, this is useless for behavioral experiments

Really? I haven’t really used Tor but I can’t find anything about that. What happened?

I had appendicitis and barely noticed. I just felt like I had a mild case of gas for 3 days. I was lucky that I was with my ex at the time and she got worried, otherwise I might be dead and would barely have cared.

But then the year after that I broke my back and also only cared to go to the doctor after one month, so maybe I’m not the best example

Not just a random episode, too - it’s one of the plot points in Who Shot Mr Burns
