  • I'm most surprised an airport allowed that behavior!

  • Scoop it out and go on with your day. I'd only toss it if it tastes or smells funky, even a bit. Just tossed a jar of salsa after skimming spots of mold off the top for months, exactly as yours. Not because it was unsafe to eat, it just sucked as salsa and I felt it was getting more and more untrustworthy. Jam is going to be somewhat like honey, too much sugar for anything bad to get a deep hold.

    Anyway, none y'all are going to survive another worldwide depression. "Er mer gerd! THROW IT!" Your great-grandparents and great-great-grandparents are laughing at you. I'll be in the woods out back, eating live minnows and fighting the deer over acorns.

  • The idea is the God guided the men who translated the Bible from various languages and decided what books to include. Got the answer from a Christian regarding the Council of Nicaea, seen it online as well.

  • Sounds like an Issac Asimov plot. Hell, pretty sure it is an Asimov plot from one of the Robots books.

  • Ahem!

    His Grace, His Excellency, The Duke of Ankh, Commander Sir Samuel Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch (and Blackboard Monitor)

  • I'm surprised the glue has held this long for such a cheapo product!

    So, what's the scope? I got a couple of cheapies off Amazon and eBay, thought my cheapness was the problem. Posted on lemmy asking about options and it seems no matter the price, the FOV is going to suck, even for the $50,000 military models.

    Got some 9V-battery powered infrared strobes for cheap, to be used as trail markers. Super neat and super cheap! But I have to point directly at them to pick them up. All I want is a monocular I can walk around with.

  • Out of time for a video than long, but you can bet I saved it! Love examining how we hominids came to be, how we came to behave. So many arguments as to how we "should" act clash with how we "evolved" to act. Untangling "should" vs. "is" would take us farther than arguing about ideal behavior.

    Aim for a better world keeping in mind as it is, not how it should be. Am drunk. Making sense?

  • If the truth is in between, it's because we're arguing different things. I think everyone in this chain gets "it", but we're meandering a bit. Great conversation!

  • Recharacterize hate and anger as fear, human behavior makes more sense.

    Yeah, racism is taught, as OP's talking about, but fear of the other, the other outside our tribe, is genetic.

    People take that opinion to mean racism is natural. Nope. It's not skin color, it's "other". It's a big world now, too big for us to easily parse, so we try to break each other into manageable chunks we can understand, skin color is an easy shortcut.

    For example; I'm a middle-aged, American white guy. I understand, and am far closer, to my black friend down the street than I could be to any European, even one who looks exactly like me. My friend is in my tribe, my Monkeysphere, the European is not. Despite wildly different backgrounds, I share more in common with my friend than a random Spaniard. And if nothing else, he's close, literally and figuratively, part of my tribe. Does that make sense?

  • (I'm replying to you and the post you're replying to, if that makes sense.)

    Racism is a single aspect of in and out groups. We didn't evolve to work in groups of more than 150, maybe 200 individuals max. People of any skin tone can be in my Monkeysphere, but if they're outside of it, they're somewhat less than human, less real. No one is above this.

    I'm sure I'll get comments from people who think they are above it. "Fuck you, you inhuman monster! I value ALL human life equally!" Nah, no one does.

    It's like this: which would upset you more, your best friend dying, or a dozen kids across town getting killed because their bus collided with a truck hauling killer bees? Which would hit you harder, your Mom dying, or seeing on the news that 15,000 people died in an earthquake in Iran?

    Plenty of research out there, aside from what's included in the article. The author is mostly explaining Dunbar's Number.

  • My dad took me to the tracks to flatten dimes. He was an engineer, never taught me bullshit.

  • OP means the truck driver was standing right there watching this go down. Yeah, he should have run, not because the truck whipping around was predictable, because nothing is predictable in such an impact.

  • I can argue the uselessness of most American gun laws. I should note, a great many of the arguments rely on the fact of the 2nd Amendment and our court's historical interpretation of it.

    Almost every law I see proposed either runs afoul of the 2nd, is useless, and worse, many are counterproductive.

  • I just want to know where a stateless society exists ATM. Never mind how that's to be achieved with ape psychology.

  • That's the sort of case I was thinking about. All depending! But it probably doesn't hurt to overwrite bad memories with bland ones. And as in your case, time is a factor.

    Going back to a place where you took an ass beating last month? Nah. Same place in 10-years? Likely helpful.

  • Shockingly, people really can't tell when you're tripping balls unless they get a good look at your pupils and make note. ⚫️_⚫️

    I've been falling off the Earth and had perfectly normal conversations. A few times, "I'm sorry. I'm tripping my balls off here and not making sense." 🫨 No one ever new. LMAO, I've talked to cops!

  • Solid tools to have in any case. I wouldn't buy a kit as I already have all that from other projects.

    Just now got the USB port covers! Have a crappy light on my little .22, lost the cover immediately. Put on of those on and have hiked for miles, banged in around, wiped it off during general cleaning several times, still perfectly stuck. Little finicky getting it seated, well worth it for the perfect seal. $.86/ea. on eBay.

  • I'm stomping around the backwoods of NW Florida, occasionally crawling under bushes, no issues. Pixels suck at getting wet though, never again.

  • Couple of girls with average breasts eyeing us at the bar. Now we're fighting over which one has the stuffed bra.

    "Fuck it. Let's be tacky and just ask."
