Yet another refugee who washed up on the shore after the great Reddit disaster of 2023

  • Having a baby? Use this one weird trick!

  • Didn't they just elect a fairly liberal president?

    I looked it up and this is real

    Jump

  • I worked for almost 40 years at a company that made rocket engines. For the first couple decades (and all the time prior to my starting there), the head of the company was someone who came up through the ranks. They were very knowledgeable about rocket engines, or at least very knowledgeable at the aspect that they worked on (there are a lot of specialties involved), and somewhat knowledgeable about the others.

    But as the company traded hands, we ended up with CEOs or GMs that knew nothing about rockets and instead were just focused on the business aspects of it. Some of them were smart people, but they wouldn't have cared if the company was making spoons or skateboards. From my vantage point, the company really went downhill when that happened, but I don't think it's uncommon these days.

    So I wouldn't be surprised if this guy knows nothing about logistics.

  • What, if any, cybernetic augmentation would you want for regular life?

    Jump

  • I've thought for many years that the first true cybernetics will be artificial eyes. If they can get self contained optic systems that fit into the eyeball space, it should be trivial to allow them to see a much wider spectrum, plus macro and telephoto. That would be cool. A computer interface for them would be awesome, but I'd have trust issues with that as well.

  • Patients with long Covid regain sense of smell and taste with pioneering surgery

    Jump

  • My wife lost her sense of taste and smell because of COVID, but just for a week or so. I hadn't considered how soul crushing that is. Food just becomes whatever the texture is. I remember her popping a Reese's peanut butter cup into her mouth, then spitting it out. She said it was like having a lump of shortening in her mouth - all she tasted was the oil. She's a daily coffee drinker, but coffee was just gross to her. She was getting pretty depressed before it came back.

  • The 'Poor Man's' Alternative To Brisket Is Just As Satisfying

    Jump

  • Hmm, I've done a pork shoulder for like 12 hours in the smoker and had to pull it early, and it was pretty tough. But maybe with a smaller piece of meat it's holding a temp longer? Still, I don't think medium rare and connective tissue breakdown are compatible, but I'm not a food scientist.

  • The 'Poor Man's' Alternative To Brisket Is Just As Satisfying

    Jump

  • The thin slices makes sense, but the connective tissue doesn't start breaking down until an internal temperature of like 165. Generally you're aiming for 195 to 200 IT to get it tender. But the toughest is going to be cooked medium to the 190ish. Medium rare or rare is going to be more tender than medium by a lot, but not as tender as the 195.

  • Sounds great. Isn't the chuck tough if you only take it to medium rare though?

    Jump

  • I love smoking chuck roast. I do it exactly like brisket, as the article suggests. Like it says, it generally doesn't slice well, so it comes out more like pulled pork, but it's delicious.

  • Trudeau hits back at Trump by announcing massive tariffs on the United States: ‘Canada will not let this unjustified decision go unanswered’

    Jump

  • Pretty sure Canada could do as good of a job as anyone though.

  • They could also make their own play store and apple store, and could charge the developers much lower fees, for the same apps that would work anywhere. It would cost them very little and be nothing but profit.

    What happens if I eat a box of paper clips before an MRI?

    Jump

  • They wouldn't do the MRI because they'd be ripped through your body

  • Trump thinks he humiliated Zelensky. He really humiliated the United States

    Jump

  • Yes Putin sought NATO membership, but NATO was formed as a check on Soviet aggression, so that's a nonstarter. Russia invaded Crimea in 2014, and they thought they'd cakewalk into Ukraine as well. There's no slant where Russia is the good guy in this. You sound like a propaganda machine.

  • Trump thinks he humiliated Zelensky. He really humiliated the United States

    Jump

  • Russia sent people to talk about peace

    You mean the country that started the war by invading another country wants to discuss a peace they could have by simply getting out of that country? Russia, who has violated more than one ceasefire? What a bunch of crap.

  • Trump thinks he humiliated Zelensky. He really humiliated the United States

    Jump

  • It's hard for me to ignore the fact that what you said is 100% something Putin wants. Trump could not be doing a better job of tearing apart the United States and its standing in the world.

  • Trump tells Zelensky 'make a deal or we're out' in angry White House meeting

    Jump

  • Trump's body looks about 50 years too young in this.

  • Trump tells Zelensky 'make a deal or we're out' in angry White House meeting

    Jump

  • I'm an American and I'm upvoting this. After 2016, I thought that there were some misguided people who didn't realize what they were doing, but that the first Trump term would push the pendulum hard the other direction. I felt a little validated when Biden won in 2020, but it wasn't as one sided as I'd hoped. But Trump winning decisively in 2024 tells me that everyone knew and did it anyway. People are getting what they want: rampant racism, sexism, and global bullying.

    So yes, we suck, and no one should trust us as a country, regardless of the fact that there are many of us who knew how catastrophic another Trump term would be.

  • Is there a less stinky way to cook broccoli?

    Jump

  • Honestly, broccoli is wonderful microwaved. Put it in a covered dish with just a little water. For a couple servings, I do on high like 2.5 minutes. Easy to adjust the time to get it just the way you want it. You can't get it crispy that way, but it's basically like perfectly steamed.

  • MAGA Melts Down Over ‘Complete Disappointment’ Epstein Docs Release

    Jump

  • It wasn't sanitized at all - the link is literally a rickroll.

  • Americans voted for Trump, but don't support his agenda

    Jump

  • No argument, it's a surprise to the morons who were manipulated into voting for the guy, but most everyone else saw what was happening.
