Oh. That…that’s a good point. Maybe if you get the heat below the combustion point? You’re probably good the.

I’m not saying this is accurate but I feel like the oxygen is more important at this point and you need to pull it all out rather than dampening the heat?

Gordon Ramsay: "Wow, nothing but maggoty bread? You think of Orcish cuisine, you think fresh, vibrant. It's like the chef has just given up, where's the passion, the anger? A taste of Mordor this isn't. What a shame. There isn't even any meat on this menu."

Oh my friend, pick a town of <10,000 in the Midwest…you’re not *from* there unless you were born there (and it’s suspect unless your parents were also both born there)

The president of Cornell hit two students with his car, lied about what happened, and got away with it. The story illustrates an under-reported crisis in higher education: administrators and the trustees they answer to are increasingly hostile to the idea of college itself. I wrote about it here:

For poetry makes nothing happen. It survives In the valley of its making where executives Would never want to tamper, flows on south From the ranches of isolation and the busy griefs, Raw towns that we believe and die in; it survives, A way of happening, a mouth. (Auden on Yeats)

The Sora AI thing is proof of something very important: The technology itself is useless without the ability to use the likenesses of real, living, unpredictable people, and the art they create. And the only way to get those likenesses or that art is to summarily steal it.

Those claws are not okay. As a kid I was told at the zoo how they’re used to slice open fruit, a factoid which has haunted me for 25 years now

Chief Miles Edward O'Brien, who could strangle you with a cordless phone if he wanted to, is pictured. Chief O'Brien, who can kill 2 stones with 1 bird, is facing the camera and winking. O'Brien, who can dribble a bowling ball, is on DS9 station and wearing his classic gold uniform, and has the energy of a man who is walking away from an explosion without looking backwards at it. Closed caption reads, "He was more than a hero. He was a union man."

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time
