Those labels aren’t for you, they’re for the store, so they don’t have potentially unsafe food on the shelf.

It’s probably an advantage. You want your mouth to hurt so you stop there rather than damaging something more internal like your throat or stomach.

I’ve been saying this for a while, but it’s still relevant. You need to view US politics under the lens of professional wrestling.

Of course they print this, and of course you’re going to hate it. That’s the entire point. These absurd people saying hateful things are the heels, you’re supposed to hate them. It also makes you like the faces even though they’re lackluster. Posting articles like these online in some sense of (lazy) advocacy or “staying informed” simply reinforces the worldview they’re pushing. It’s all propaganda.

Because the infamous 2 girls 1 cup video is just a trailer. It was always meant to be free.

You don’t have to outrun any bears. That’s the entire point of the metaphor.

You said there’s no point. I contend there is a point.

The point is to make it slightly less convenient to steal from. This is the purpose of literally all locks. There are no locks that can’t be picked or bypassed. I don’t care if it’s my underwear, pants, shirts, shoes, whatever. They’re mine and I packed them because I want to use them. I’d prefer they’re not stolen, and some of my clothes are valuable, or at least I don’t want to spend the money to replace them.

Maybe someone’s just having a shit day and wants to fuck with luggage to be obnoxious. I’d rather it not be mine, and a lock makes my bag slightly more annoying to fuck with.

Agreed that a lost bag is much more likely than theft. I have an AirTag in my bag to help with that scenario.

There is a point: make your bag slightly less attractive to steal from. You don’t have to outrun the bear, you just have to outrun someone else.

Thank you for being the someone else.

Likewise with Brussels sprouts

Turns out there are stupid questions.

2” in the standard, sometimes you can get 3” recline in economy+ seats.

Yeah, 6’3” and 1/2” with bare feet, standing up straight.

I’m 6’3” or 1.9m tall. I fly monthly for work. Putting the seat back has little effect on leg room because the pivot point is just below your knee level. It steals a bit of room going straight forward from your head/shoulders but you can reclaim this lost 2” by also reclining your seat.

If you’re kicking seats rather than reclining your own to get back to the same exact space as non-reclined just at a slightly more comfortable angle, you’re the asshole.

Obviously some goes out laterally, but next to the ground is where the lowest flux of shrapnel will be.

1. easily will break glass, they’re heavy, dense, and hard

2. hit the deck, the explosion will be up and out

3. shrapnel is how fragmentation grenades kill, not the overpressure wave

Nah, seems like they just misinterpreted what I was saying.

No worries, thanks for allowing me to explain and reading what I said. Online discussions can be difficult these days.

That is absolutely not what I’m saying. I’m saying the biological processes that lead to intersex or otherwise “complicated” sex conditions are fairly well understood. Sex is much more complicated than just the M/F dichotomy, and the current scientific and medical understanding of sex supports this.

Those who deny that sex is more complicated than binary M/F are rejecting well established science.

Can you explain further? I’m a biochemist / medical lab scientist, and between my studies in genetics, human sexuality, and endocrinology, it seems pretty well figured out. Between “normal” X/Y chromosomes, various chromosomal abnormalities (X, XXX, XXY, XYY, etc), and mutations like androgen insensitivity syndrome it seems there is significant causal data. Not sure if they’ve studied these with knockout mice but it’s well beyond inference at this point.

I’m not sealioning here, it has been like a decade since I was actively learning this stuff and I’m sure there have been more discoveries. In general though it seems like we know the genetics, we know the hormones and receptors involved, the developmental process and various maladies are known, etc.
