While we're at it, let's get some Steve Irwin in there.

For the last few years, I've been using butter I leave out in a covered butter dish on the counter since I learned that's fine. It's always been a stick of salted butter which I typically finish within 2-3 weeks and that's never caused any problems. I wonder if it being unsalted would really change things that much...

It's curious that the thumbnail actually has red values for those pixels, making me think they're cheating a bit with jpeg compression effects.

By that time, all the games you bought now will be public domain.

I like to think something random and really specific like this might be the Great Filter.

I expected this comment to be from KenM

And also super expensive. I've had times where it was half the price to rent a car for the day than to get one taxi from the airport.

There are manual releases on each door inside, but I'm surprised they don't have them outside as well.

Reading more about it, I find that many only have manual releases on the front doors until recently and they have a connection point you're meant to jump with power to unlock and open from the outside. I didn't think anyone would be okay waiting for a jump to get their baby out, but then these people waited for firemen to break their window, so...

Last I ran the numbers, industry and agriculture used 98% of the water. This being in CA.

You'd have to know a lot about how that PSI was measured and how their jaw is sized for that to be in any way useful.

I've experienced the same and always thought PSI is a pretty absurd way to gauge puncture damage like this.

Maybe not skip them, but instead play something else over top of them like another video you like, a music segment, or cat videos.

The problem is it can be just as easily interpreted either way. It should seem to most of us to say, 'destroying homes creates more martyrs,' but I'm sure half the people will interpret it as, 'unprovoked attack deserves indiscriminate retaliation.' In that, it does a surprisingly good job of encapsulating how complicated the whole thing is...

Ah yes, of all the species we've eradicated, the one that makes up the least biomass would surely be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back.

They're meant to help keep the politician population in check.

IIRC, studies have also shown that the cost of the placebo had a direct correlation to the efficacy. Ah yes: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4345649/

Conclusion:

Expensive placebo significantly improved motor function and decreased brain activation in a direction and magnitude comparable to, albeit less than, levodopa. Perceptions of cost are capable of altering the placebo response in clinical studies.

I've never heard that term used before and now that I've looked it up, I feel dirty. What idiots really thought it necessary to come up with a derogatory label for "doing your job"?

It sounds like it's their insurance company that is handling the thing and their first action was to fight instead of settle. If AA really wanted to send the right message to the public with this announced backtracking, they'd have announced that they'd just dropped their previous insurance company in favor of one that's not completely insane.

Some US states have some sort of department of weights and measures. I've contacted mine before about such issues and they take them very seriously, sending out an inspection team to test the claim. What they can do to enforce things depends on the state, though.
