I'm not really big on nuts in chocolate brownies. It's a texture thing. I don't like the soft but hard thing.

However I make browned butter and bourbon blondies with toasted pecans and they add a lot of flavor.

Yeah I disagree with every single one of these. Contrast in food is good. Varied textures are good. Sweet and sour is good. Congrats, I think you have an actually unpopular opinion.

Major cases moving forward this slowly is not unusual at all. It's usually to the defendant's advantage to draw things out.

CidVicious ,
@CidVicious@sh.itjust.works avatar

You're absolutely right that this exists. Thing is, most defendents explicitly waive their right to a speedy trial. It's to their advantage to drag things out, generally.

Pika is pronounced "pie-kuh" generally. Pikachu comes from pika pika (japanese onomatopoeia for "sparking/sparkling" usually with the connotation of clean) + chuu (sound a mouse makes/squeak).

CidVicious , (edited )
@CidVicious@sh.itjust.works avatar

I think these are the same root? Pika pika is used to mean clean but it's onomatopoeia for sparkling. That double word onomatopoeia construction in japanese doesn't really have a direct analogue in English I don't think.

CidVicious ,
@CidVicious@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yeah I just think it's kind of neat how the names of English pokemon are formed in a similar way to how they are in Japanese.

Usually directly feeding animals is looked down upon because decreasing their fear of humans tends to be a negative for their survival, and it might impact their ability to forage for their own food. With birds specifically, though, putting up feeders is more mixed. Migration takes an enormous amount of energy and and human sprawl has removed a lot of natural food sources. And especially in wintertime, food can be quite scarce for birds. But at the same time bird feeders can actually be big spreaders of disease and I know that there was guidance that people should take down feeders at the height of bird flu.

Now when it comes to mallards, they're honestly a species that is incredibly urbanized already, so I don't think directly feeding them is doing a great deal of harm.

Hm, I can't remember the name of it, but I do recall some discussion about why smiles look fake with regard to "hide the pain harold". The conclusion seemed to be that it's just how his face is.

Yeah I agree, way too little detail in this article.

    No? I don't like Megyn Kelly but that's not how logic works. You've neither shown that she's engaged in intercourse with minors nor shown that she has any attraction to minors.

    Crazy that words have meanings.

    AOC reacts to question if Chuck Schumer should remain leader ( www.newsweek.com )

    When asked by reporters if Schumer should remain the minority leader, Ocasio-Cortez responded: "I think what is so important for folks to understand is that this problem is bigger than one person. And it actually is bigger than the minority leader in the Senate. You had eight Senate Democrats who coordinated...their own votes on ...

    She basically said "schumer is a symptom, the real problem is the party itself, we need to primary people and get them out." Not sure how that's spineless.

    If it makes you feel better, I have no idea who that is because I was already an adult when it came out and had no desire to see it.

    Because the justice system is entirely formed on the belief that it is better to let many guilty people go free than one innocent person be punished, or so it is said. So giving the president the ultimate ability to grant clemency, but none to punish, was an intentional, last ditch method for preventing injustice, supposedly.

    CidVicious ,
    @CidVicious@sh.itjust.works avatar

    Yeah if there's one thing the system loves, it's leaving ex-cons destitute and likely to reoffend because they can't function on the outside.

    Trump just literally doesn't give a shit about a single other human. Not a shred of empathy in him.

    Great to see the media overreacting to small victories in an off-year election so that they can spin the narrative to trump making a comeback later.

    and let the birds, mice, etc... live without fear.

    LOL, that's not really how mice and small birds work.

    CidVicious ,
    @CidVicious@sh.itjust.works avatar

    Doesn't take a lot of observation to see that small rodents are in fear of just about every encounter, largely because that's what keeps them alive.

    Have always thought it was weird how many game of the year votes open up in early November. There's a reason why the Oscars are in March.

    Cow Tools is now 43 years old

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cow_tools

    The original Far Side Cow Tools Cartoon by Gary Larson. A cow stands on its hind legs behind a table, staring blankly at the viewer from behind its heavy brow ridge. On the table are four crudely made tools: a lump, a lump with an offset crooked handle, a long stick with hooked prongs at the end, and a crude handsaw with irregular teeth. In the background a barn sits on a hill. Caption reads, "Cow tools."

    Personally I was pretty disappointed in this movie. Felt like it was pretty boring for most of the middle. I don't think Pedro Pascal is a good fit as Reed. But this might just be the fact that I'm really tired of Marvel talking.

    How many people would a generation ship need to have for inbreeding to not be an issue?

    So, I assume that if you put 100 people on a spaceship and sent them to wherever, they'd get very inbred in a few generations. How many people would you need for this to not happen, accounting for the fact that there will eventually be people who are infertile or die before having children?

    CidVicious ,
    @CidVicious@sh.itjust.works avatar

    It seems very plausible that if you can make a generation ship, you could make something like CRISPR to artificially increase genetic diversity/eliminate potential birth defects. Or perhaps just store genetic material for more people than the actual colonists on the ship. You'd probably want to hedge your bets in case there's a low survival rate. There's a lot that could go wrong. Ecosystem failure, negative effects of radiation, or just good old fashioned murder.

    CidVicious ,
    @CidVicious@sh.itjust.works avatar

    LOL. I mainly got the idea of using genetic modification to increase diversity of a small population from the book Seveneves.

    I think the answer lies in the Hunter Biden charges. They can ask the question when purchasing a firearm and then charge with a crime later if they can show that the person lied.

    Honestly wouldn't be shocked if they started going after recreational marijuana either. Some big liberal states have legal marijuana.

    I think most horror fans enjoy terrible horror movies.

    The worst sin is when they're just boring, though.

    Interesting comic. This seems a lot more pointed than his typical fare. I wonder if Larsen was an early anti-SeaWorld person.

    CidVicious ,
    @CidVicious@sh.itjust.works avatar

    Yes but he seems to be pointing out the irony in keeping the orca that stars in the movie captive. This was before that was a really mainstream sentiment.
