I’m in a similar position with aerospace manufacturing but on the welding side of things, always something a little bit different but also all within the same realm of action and requiring a fairly high degree of precision. And yes , fuck the current big players in the space game, but hard to deny some of the stuff the companies are doing is pretty dang cool

Singapore would care to disagree

The most recent execution conducted in Singapore took place on 23rd July 2026, when a 35 year old Singaporean was hanged for drug trafficking.[5]

I’ve had almost the opposite experience, also decently embarrassing for me.
Thought I recognized some one from a work trip, we shake hands and they said it was nice to meet me, I asked didn’t we meet at X a couple months ago?
Nope, that was their boss, I’m just bad with faces.

I know you’re discussing what the actual laws on the books are, but I think the sentiment is that if felons aren’t allowed to vote why is it acceptable for them to run for office, especially for the highest office in the country.

Drones are the modern pitchforks and torches, but also pitchforks and torches never go out of style so bring some of them too

The leidenfrost effect is definitely a real and neat phenomenon

As bad as African slavery was, I kinda agree with you that it might not actually be the worst thing humans have done to each other.

Specifically, how many native populations were genocided by colonizers the world over?

We had a bob tailed void named Robert, the most loving and friendly cat I’ve ever met. Literally the only things he cared about were food and being loved on.
Only lived 5 years, congestive heart failure. Apparently he wasn’t a true bob and the mutation that causes the shortened tail can also cause other health issues. issues

I know one anecdote doesn’t invalid proper scientific research but … erections and even orgasm is not impossible on MDMA. I (a guy) have definitely had a bunch of sex on MDMA, not always to completion but sometimes.

The paper you linked states this at the end of the introduction, emphasis mine:

The phenomenological features of the psychological state induced by MDMA ** show some similarities** with features of the post-orgasmic state.
…
Here, we ** present the hypothesis ** that the impairment of sexual parameters after MDMA may be mediated by increased prolactin."

Every time I see that name I can’t help but pronounce it pene-lope instead of pen-elo-pe

Oh man, flashbacks to an ancient meme.
TAIWAN NUMBAH ONE, CHINA NUMBAH …FOUR

We have two cats, a void and a grump. The voids full name is Robert but he goes by Bob, my wife calls him “little kitty” because he was a tiny kitten when we got him, I call him “you fat fuck” because he got up to 19 lbs before we started putting him on a diet (14 lbs now)

The grumps full name is Norman (as in Norman Bates, serial killer) but he goes by Norm (as in not normal), my wife calls him Normie and I call him “shut up you” because he’s constantly crying about something

My dogs have learned that the sound of a knife on the cutting board means there’s a chance food of some kind might make it to the floor, so they come running.

And we cannot forget one of the best comedy actors of all time, Leslie Neilson

Percentage is probably one of the easiest ways to calculate a difference but presenting a percentage change can be mildly misleading if you don’t know what the original numbers are.

An increase of 100% is really a 2x increase, 1000% increase is an 11x increase.
If there used to be 1 ICE raid a month and now there are 11, that’s a 1000% increase. Given the change in directive and ramp up in action I’d be somewhat surprised if it was only 1000%

What did you think he’s robbing from the cradle, the toys?

Pretty sure it’s space fascist all the way down. There are no good guys in the 40k universe

It depends on the type/grade of magnet

I haven’t bought anything from Walmart, Amazon, or Target in over a decade, probably close to two. Sure it costs a little more, but I try to source as much as I can from Costco which helps balance but otherwise I do almost all my shopping from local groceries (surefine, tops) and local hardware stores (franchises I know but generally locally owned)

A friend of mine introduced me to this channel and I love it. They do such amazing historical recreation of so many different aspects of pre-modern life. One of my favorites
