Usually when I wonder if there’s a better way to do something, I end up just searching online. Usually WikiHow can point you in the right direction, especially if it’s for like basic human stuff. Since you’re looking for a wiki this seems like the obvious choice.

If you’re looking at building better habits like eating healthier or building a routine, I’m reading Tiny Habits right now and it’s pretty eye-opening. Your mileage may vary with self-help books, but so far the science and exercises are sound.

“William, you don’t need to be in a relationship,…”

I gotchu (.Y.)

I like to be informed about trends in berry farming. It’s important to stay up with currant events.

I have this argument with my wife a lot. She says that because the OJ is natural sugar it’s okay.

But the high-fructose corn syrup used in a cola is also natural sugar in the sense that it was grown on a farm. There even happens to be less of it in your average soda than in juice.

And I’m not really saying that you should drink soda instead of juice because it’s healthier, but somehow fruit juice is one of those things people think is good for them.

When I was a kid I got this book from a garage sale. It was really neat, the illustrations were fire, and the author presents a theory on how dragons could have existed despite there being no physical evidence for them.

The gist is that dragons were actual creatures that were hunted to extinction in the iron age. But over the years the accounts turned to myth, and the mythological dragon is quite different from an actual dragon: essentially a hydrogen blimp with toxic blood that melts its bones shortly after it dies.

However, even as an eight-year-old I knew this was just a thought exercise. And as much as I think dragons are neat and would have liked to drink the koolaid, I guess I just don’t have what it takes to be a professional crazy.

A difference of 8F is about 4.5C for anyone unfamiliar with freedom units.

Do I also have to partake of the foot fungus?

The bullet machines will be for the campus law enforcement, the tots won’t get to use them.

But they will get to try out the tech in cafeterias, so that they’ll be more conveniently denied a free lunch.

Make Dracula put a ring on it, then you can run the halls during a full-moon night to your heart’s content

Thanks, I found a story about that: article

That’s scary stuff, ammonia’s no joke. It sounds like if the wind was blowing the other way several people could have been teargassed to death. Imagine if that happened in a city…

Oh, I don’t doubt that they have a horrible track record, I know how that scene from the meme ends.

You know how sometimes you hear about breaking events from memes? I was wondering if this was that.

Is this a general indictment of railroad companies, or am I about to read about something ghastly in the news?

I’m not sure one has much to do with the other. I completely agree that the Boston bombing investigation was a witch hunt, no argument here. But witch hunts target individuals, and individuals are entitled to a certain degree of privacy which one would hope would protect them from an uninformed mob.

But airing your employers’ dirty laundry is whistle-blowing. It should be protected, especially if the industry secret is anti-consumer, dangerous, or illegal. And importantly, a corporation isn’t an individual, so they shouldn’t benefit from protections for individuals.

It’s tempting to think that we don’t see the Name and Shame posts actually naming and shaming because of Reddit’s interests with advertisers. But I think it’s also just as likely that users don’t want to be identified leaking secrets - likely due to the litigious nature of their employers.

Alberta is the part of Canada that makes me feel ashamed to be Canadian :(

Apple’s walled garden is anti-consumer, anti-developer, and pretty much anti-everyone-but-apple.

It just doesn’t make sense to me to use or develop for Apple under those conditions.

I don’t handle guns, I just like westerns and play too many video games:

Don’t you have to hold the hammer while you pull the trigger to decock it? The trigger unlocks it, but because you’re holding the hammer it doesn’t strike the shell?

So in order to safely disarm you have to pull the trigger, which sure sounds like an accident waiting to happen.

Whenever I pick up my knife my brain says, “what if I just stick this into my belly?”

They say your brain imagines these scenarios so that you can try to avoid them, but the more you learn about trying to wrangle your brain the more I think the brain is just a dick sometimes.
