  • Who, other than people with allergies, has died from eating beans? Because as far as I know, cooked beans do not transmit dangerous pathogens. Raw milk can.

    Again, I'm not sure why this is even comparable.

  • Wait, my body's own heat is enough? Always has been.
  • Again, they won't heat my fingers. Which are what were cold until about 5 minutes ago. It took a lot of holding them under my arms and blowing on them.

  • I can tell that you think I'm a drooling imbecile, but I'm not so stupid that I don't know how to read labels before I buy things.

  • ugh i wish
  • Because they're a lot less likely to kill me than raw milk is. Why is this even a question? People have literally died from pathogens they caught from drinking raw milk.

  • I suppose you wouldn't care if someone doxxed you for not sacrificing a goat at the temple last week, right?

    Oh yes, I noticed.

  • TIL Scottish band White Trash (aka Trash) released a recording of Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight a week before the Beatles' Abbey Road, the only time a Beatles cover came out before the original.

    > The band issued only four tracks on two singles on Apple; both A-sides were covers: Gerry Goffin and Carole King's "Road to Nowhere", and Paul McCartney's "Golden Slumbers / Carry That Weight"; although Trash's version was released a week before the Beatles' version on their forthcoming album Abbey Road.[1][2] The single "Golden Slumbers / Carry That Weight" made the top 40, but the band disappeared shortly after. The single was included on the multi-artist compilation Come and Get It: The Best of Apple Records in 2010.

  • You generally cook beans before you eat them. Guess what pasteurization essentially does?

  • Actually, that was my in-laws today. Since I have major food smell issues, I only went into my wife's aunt's garage after they had Thanksgiving lunch (I hung out at my old alma mater's student union building in a comfy chair in a lounge next to a fireplace) and everyone came up to me and hugged me. Which made me feel super awkward because it was like a hug line. Thankfully, my daughter was very insistent upon leaving right after I got there, so I didn't have to stay and deal with that for long.

  • Wait, my body's own heat is enough? Always has been.
  • I'm not the person you replied to, but fingerless gloves don't fix the big problem of your fingers being super cold due to the poor circulation. My hands feel just fine right now. My fingers, which were warm for a while today, have felt like they were suspended in ice water since the last time I was outside about 45 minutes ago.

    I wish there were a good solution like that, believe me I've tried to find a good one that will allow me both warm fingers and manual dexterity and not be super uncomfortable (like tight rubber gloves or something), but I haven't found it yet.

  • I can't remember when it started for me but it's like a big red "you're old now" flag. Sigh.

  • Ps. The vegetarian thing isnt super relevant here since vegetarians are still ok with animals dying for them.

    What animals am I okay dying for me?

    Do you mean animals they test vaccines on or something? I'm not even okay with that, I just don't see any viable alternatives.

    (I am also personally guilty of swatting mosquitos, but I'm guessing everyone except the most hardcore fruitarians will make an exception there.)

  • Besides your belief that there is no higher power, what are your thoughts on supernatural phenomena?
  • There are all kinds of things in my life I have experienced that I cannot explain. For one thing, I am not an expert on everything. For another, I am a prisoner inside a skull that has to rely on not especially precise equipment in terms of sensory input. In other words, the meat sacks in our heads cannot be trusted. In fact, going back to Randi, if they could be trusted, Randi and other magicians would never have a job.

    None of that is evidence for the supernatural.

  • Re number. 2, they must also either be ignorant of the existence of charities or can't think of a single one that could use that $1,000,000 they would have no use for. So I don't accept that.

  • I was under the mistaking impression that "any type" meant "any type" and not "any type except these certain exceptions."

    These California laws you're against include things like revenge porn, a prosecutable crime.

    So, again, it can't be both. I know you want it to be both, but it can't be.

  • I would say that most people think that the celebration of the beginnings of two continents' worth of human genocide is worse than turkey farming.

    And I say that as a vegetarian.

  • I quoted why I asked it. It sure sounds like you're saying it's just a meaningless buzzword.

  • Rumble Sues California For ‘Censorship’ Over Laws Restricting User Speech
  • Again, your words:

    I am against governments that do any type of censorship.

    Sounds like you need to make up your mind. Either you are against all government censorship or you are in favor of government censorship of CSAM. It can't be both.

  • I guess at least I can opt out...
  • Are you serious? You've never seen resume templates?

    Just Google the phrase "resume template" to see lots of them.

    What do you think AI is trained on when trained to look at resumes? How do you think it decides what is a good resume and a bad resume? Do you think it uses its reasoning abilities?

    Also: "Thanks for answering my questions." You're welcome.

    Braces Tower - Eleven Twelve (Awesome dance remix of a Sesame Street classic)

    I hadn't thought about Braces Tower in years, but he put out two remix EPs in his career under that name and they're both great. This is definitely a favorite.
