Mercury alone is safe enough to handle a bit where you would be mostly worried about breathing too much of its vapor. Organic compounds of mercury on the other hand can kill you within days of a drop touching your skin.

I agree, from the quotes I saw they were really mismanaging the response in the discord.

The uniform that both men and women wear in the movie are cut to show off the amazing fisique of the female lead but the cut is totally working on the male lead also.

Yeah, in any workplace I’ve been in any physical contact would have been out of line

Franks is a classic but anyone I know makes better buffalo sauce using Crystal hot sauce and butter. It’s a bit less acidic. That deli counter buffalo roast chicken is weirdly good also.

The school administration really seemed to drop the ball here. It seems like there were a lot of blatant warning signs.

What it really meant when people talk about living fossils etc is that the morphology of the creature has changed very little. Genetically and on a cellular level there would definitely be a lot of changes from their earlier forms millions of years ago. DNA just doesn’t stick around for more than a couple hundred thousand years maximum it seems so it’s difficult for us to chart those changes that aren’t visible in morphology. Creatures that seem to not change drastically in such long scale time usually have niches and environments that haven’t changed drastically in their existence.

I found the most moral use of AI using Artifact as my news app. There is a feature where you can “Mark as clickbait” an article’s title and it reads the article to generate a new title that actually is relevant to the content of the article. I think the devs have stopped development of the app though.

Everyone compares the game to starship troopers and Terminator but I haven’t seen anyone mention that the game loop is literally left4dead. I guess everyone forgot about those games.

I used to be really confused by the “fake it 'till you make it crowd” but in the recent years I realized how far it can take you when people just think that you are rich. I really can’t wait until this planet sluffs us off like fleas and something better comes along in a million years.

I’ve never met a prompt and reliable drug dealer.

It may not be an option if you’re severely restricted on space but it helps if you make enough to freeze a couple extra portions of food and eat them weeks later. Generally when you are cooking for yourself it’s healthier than processed or restaurant food and it’s cheaper. I tend to gravitate to international markets where they have bulk bins of vegetables so you are able to just buy a single carrot, single potato etc. Cooking in slightly larger portions and shopping that way really helps to reduce waste for myself.

I wonder what portion of that is steam decks.

I’m convinced that these conspiracies are spawned from racism towards non white civilizations. It’s easier for them to believe an imagined space God came there and built something rather than the indigenous people. There is also probably some need to believe that we are always at the peak of human progress in all things but in reality the story is more complicated.

I doubt this sort of thing is great for food prices in the UK. I believe the UK imports 46% of its food. I understand being a bit of a protectionist about local food production but acting as if Canadian beef is poison is absurd.

I think the tactical nukes will slow their ambitions for another hundred or so years. We can’t take these posturing fools seriously.

Every science news article these days. “Strange ‘Banana Hammock’ star discovered!”

I was a teenager at the right time to discover their newer stuff first (Soundtrack to Your Escape) and then went back and loved their earlier albums. It was a bit of a drag hearing fans chanting “Play the old shit” the couple times I saw them live. I can’t say I’ve listened to much of their newest albums but it was fun to enjoy anything they played at the time.

I haven’t heard anyone try to argue that they would reduce atmospheric levels of green house gases but they sure can allow you to grow crops that are more resistant to drought, require less pesticides and even reduce the need for fertilizer. Potentially reducing the amount of energy intensive inputs for agriculture would have an impact on the environment to some degree.
