Yeah but then you have to clean the pot afterwards. You can throw away the bag.

Is cleaning the pot hard? No, absolutely not. But if you're lazy, you'll probably lean towards the far easier option which is just the one where you throw away the bag afterwards

You could always put it in a (glass) container, or wrap it in aluminum foil

I've used OCLP, and I didn't even realize they largely switched to Discord. That explains why finding some info was such a PITA when I was playing around with it.

I will never understand why people choose to use Discord as a forum replacement. It's just such an awful platform for that.

I'm not sure about other EU countries, but Vyvanse (lisdexamphetamine, a prodrug form of dexamphetamine) is legal in Germany under the name Elvanse

She was born October 13th, 1989. That means she'll be 35 by the time of the election in November, not to mention before the inauguration in January (the date that actually matters). So, she's definitely eligible.

5 meters is definitely way too short for the chair swing ride. Look at the people in the seats. It's definitely at least 10 meters.

Assuming 10 meters and 100 km/h, that gives about 7.9 g. That's in the range of what fighter pilots might experience and well beyond where most people black out, so that's still definitely too high.

Looking it up online, this is a pretty classic physics problem and the numbers you might see around it are closer to a radius of 12 meters and a speed of 13 to 17 m/s. Taking that as 15 m/s (54 km/h), that works out to about 1.9 g, which I can subjectively say feels much closer to the real value if you ever ride on one of these.

So, the second one is about 1.9 g

Not to mention: that's punishing people who are specifically, deliberately TRYING to become parents. They're probably among the LEAST likely to get abortions.

There isn't any logic. The cruelty is the point.

I recently had a complaint with a website:

"Users are having trouble scrolling!"

My response:

"Are they using the scroll wheel/directly scrolling with the touchpad, or using the scroll bar?"

They were, of course, using the scroll bar. I am now somehow responsible for design choices made at the level of the browser, because browsers have decided that the scroll bar should be nigh impossible to use. Yippee.

There are billions of cows, chickens, etc. in the world. Purely by numbers, those species are incredibly successful. Yet, If not for humans finding them tasty and easy to manage, we would not have bred them to this degree and they wouldn't have reached this degree of success. Somehow, against all odds, being tasty/something we want to eat has somehow become an incredibly valuable and successful adaptation.

Evolution is absolutely wild, and this really drives home the fact that evolution isn't about the individual's likelihood of survival, but their likelihood of reproduction.

But, like, to where would they be deported? That typically implies sending them back to their place of origin, but in this case they're almost always from the US. Perhaps exile would be a better term to use.

My proposal: exile them to Texas (let's call it a "Texile"), and then let Texas have that independence they seem to so strongly desire.

and your phone only has one number.... right?

Dual-SIM phones are a thing and have been for a LONG time. They're not as common in the US (where I'm assuming you're from given you aren't familiar with dual-SIM phones) but even my S22 supports it, and I think even iPhones come with it stock now. A lot of people use two SIM cards for a multitude of reasons, and so many people have two numbers. Heck, some phones even support three SIM cards.

Dig they bring out a PC client yet btw?

It's been out for a long time now. You have to set it up on your phone first but then you install the application on your computer, scan a QR code to link it, and at that point you can just disable notifications on your phone if you don't want them.

I don't know about you, but I don't feel like clothing lint is supposed to be in our hearts.
