"Like a dog watching tv" - supposedly comes from old west virginia moonshiners, but the person who told me that has a complicated relationship with the truth so allow me to share with you the grain of salt I take that attribution with. It indicates that somebody has absolutely no clue what is going on, but they are enjoying themselves

"[The author claims that] sugary fruits and honey provided between 20 and 35 percent of energy intake throughout most of human evolution. Another 25 percent of the early human diet came from carb-heavy starches, the study says, while less than 20 percent of dietary energy came from proteins."

If you're handy with a soldering iron and know how to read a JTAG port, every chip on the pcb could be lifted and repurposed. Afaik a lot of them use miniature solar panels as power sources, which is absolutely repurposeable if you're comfortable crimping cables. This piece too far from my area of expertise to do more than just speculate on, but I have to assume they have optical components that could be repurposed by somebody with the right skillset too

The people who told you inflation is only 8% are lying through their teeth. I dont have access to enough data to back that claim with evidence, but anecdotally I track my income and spending to the cent and I can tell you that at least for the set of goods I consistently buy every year inflation is much higher than 8%. My 2025 cost me 15% more than my 2024 did, even after excluding all of the 2025 spends that could be considered lifestyle upgrades to my 2024 financials. I dont know how that compares to my 2026 yet for sure, but its absolutely more than 8% inflation

IME juggalos are usually people who were or would be maga culturally but are disgusted by the lack of empathy that defines maga. They're the kind of people who grew up with a confederate flag on their wall but take it down in disgust when they make their first black friend and somebody explains to them for the first time that the flag is a hate symbol

Panda express is the best airport food imo. Its the only place I've consistently been able to get plain grilled chicken, white rice, and broccoli. Very boring meal, but it doesnt cause my digestive system to bloat up or twist itself into knots, which is pretty peak for air travel days

These are rounded and rearranged versions of the dimensions you posted. Less accurate obviously, but it made it easier for me to visualize the difference and I figured I'd post it in case anybody else finds it useful for visualization

I cant help you there. I am not responsible for you being unclear in your messaging, the way you choose to communicate is on you. What you said was shitty, regardless of whether you meant it or not. I see now that you didnt mean it like that, but I gotta say I am now super unimpressed that you're trying to pretend it was my fault that you lazily typed intolerant bullshit instead of what you meant the first time. Feel free to respond, but I am no longer interested in this thread and will not be replying again.

Well yeah, its not racist if you significantly change your wording and present a modified message removing the broad stereotyping of a nationality. If that were what you said, I would not have been offended or called you out for replying to my comment with racism.

How was a sweeping generalization about americans and an implication that we deserve to be gored by bison racist? Take that comment and replace "USA" with whatever country you're from and see how you feel about it.

Does it make you feel big to spew racist non sequiturs? Aside from being a vile comment, what you said is objectively stupid. There are rutting ungulates in literally every continent other than Antarctica.
