Average life spans. People in ancient times didn’t drop dead at forty. They regularly lived to be advanced ages we would consider normal. It’s just that infant and young child deaths were so common it really drags down the average.

It sounds like you’ve got a grounding problem that may not be inside the panel. Is there an actual grounding rod?

I’ve seen people hook the ground to copper pipes, but that’s not up to code and can energize the plumbing.

I’ve also seen grounding rods cut in half to make them easier to drive (and get to snatch the extra copper).

That’s a really long article to say that the pig was high on duty and died as a result. Everybody knows that fentanyl exposure syndrome is BS but they still can’t help but imply the fuck out of it.

When citizens OD and crash, they’re treated like the deadly menace that they are. Pigs are protected by fairy tales and moonbeams.

I can not be created, only confirmed.

Watching Youtube videos. It’s as good as college for anyone with a little savvy. I’ll bet that Youtube employs more PHD philosophers than any three universities.

Turf grass. It’s the stupidest crop ever cultivated by humanity.

Lawns are an 17th century European fashion trend. We poison the soil with herbicides to defend grass. We poison the water with fertilizers to feed grass. Many US households through HOAs or zoning regulations are legally required to cultivate and martian grass. Grass doesn’t feed anyone, except the insects that die soon afterwards from all the poison.

Maybe your looking for “toxic-positivity”?

It’s the type of mindset where everything must be positive, even if that means discounting or ignoring negative feelings, bad behavior, and bad situations.

This is a recognized psychological phenomena and can range from normal “keep your chin up” type stuff to full blown “FUD will not be tolerated” cult type stuff

There are telegraphs with higher bandwidth than this thing.

SciShow is good people making science content aimed at a general audience.

I don’t understand all the friction Gnome gets. Yes, I’m satisfied with everything default on the Debian/ Fedora Workstation. That’s because the DE get’s the hell out of my way and most everything can be easily managed without touching the mouse.

Those two things alone are so important to me, and such an improvement over Windows, that I’ve just never gotten around to trying other DE seriously.

Audiophiles get a lot of friction, but this kind of person exists in almost any hobby. People fascinated by equipment and ascetics who loose the plot about what their hobby is all about.

Conspiracy theories can be a coping mechanism that allow people to feel like they understand a complicated and scary world. The Epstein scandal is complicated and scary.

Slug man from the sewer runs for president, wins.

The reason circumcision is common in the US has more to do with people like RFK jr. than it does with people like Epstein.

Have an upvote you lunatic.

The idea isn’t falsifiable. Therefore it’s not science.

It’s not dumb or foolish to think that ideas like this are plausible and cool. They may even be true, we just can’t tell the difference with science.

Sulfuric Acid isn’t ideal for dissolving bodies, because it doesn’t dissolve bones well. It has many legitimate uses such as water purification, which the article points out.

Honestly with all the terrible shit we know happened, I don’t understand the urge to turn this into an episode of Dexter. Is child-abuse island it not interesting enough?

Hardees/ Carls jr. used to advertise a 1/4 cheeseburger with lettuce and tomato as the “six dollar burger” as a dig at casual dining restaurants.

Today it’s called the “famous star” and is $6.39.
