Missed that one! While trying to look it up I did stumble on a “scientist” who claimed, before the moon landings, that the moon was plasma and not rock. They couldn’t find him again for a follow up interview after the landing.
And traditional dishes like corned beef and cabbage. I love me some corned beef with lots of mustard. And cabbage, you can eat it by the head and it has so few calories plus it has lots of vit c and fiber. It is excellent diet food.
Definitely pressure cookers are great for just getting them cooked from dried. I do it with black beans and it takes about 40 min. It is a huge time saver vs the old way. I wouldn’t do that here though because there is a browning of the top involved and time spent simmering in the sauce that you need and you won’t get that with a pressure cooker.
‘It’s not you, it’s me’ is the gist of college student qualms with dating apps. Hook-up culture declines while young people search for genuine connection.
I found things worked out best when I stopped trying to specifically meet someone for the purpose of dating and just started going out and doing stuff I enjoyed with the potential of meeting someone (i.e. not sitting at home playing video games). There was a neighborhood pub I went to when I just wanted to get out of the apt, I was a member of a hiking club that had a cabin, I did stuff solo, etc. Once I stopped trying so hard I actually met more people.
Same here. I got banned from leaving a comment questioning an antivax subreddit that another subreddit used an autoban bot to monitor. There was no attempt to take context into consideration. This type of moderation behavior should be unacceptable.
I never understood the goal of things like denying the moon landings or saying the earth is flat. “Ok, you’re right. Now what?” I especially like that they think NASA is powerful and has a huge budget. Tell that to congress and watch them laugh.
Norway has succeeded in getting the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) to make permanent and extend across Europe its ban on Meta (Facebook’s parent company) harvesting user data for targeted ads on Facebook and Instagram.
Highlights: The new bra in Kim Kardashian’s lingerie range, with its “daring” raised nipple detail, goes on sale on Halloween, but not, I think, because the effect she’s going for is “scary”. The sales pitch is “No matter how hot it is, you will always look cold”, but I’m not sure “cold” is the look she’s...
I found it took about 3 months to get bored with a subreddit. That was about how long it took to see the same postings and comments cycling over and over.
I got banned by a bot because I went into an antivax subreddit to question them. The fact I posted on a “forbidden” subreddit got me auto banned by about a dozen subreddits, instantly. Then I forgot I was banned by one of them and months later posted with another account and got permabanned for ban evasion.

A 10 yr account down the drain.
There are some brands of bicycles that can cost more than the down payment on a car. Why? Surely making a bike lightweight and reliable isn’t so difficult that it warrants that price? Is it just the brand name or maybe it has to do with customization options?
I had to convince a woman with a giant SUV at the base of a slick uphill road that this was the reason she bought that thing. She was blocking the road in paralysis. After I convinced her to go up she made it up, no problem. People think they need a tank to deal with an inch of snow.
