I have an old tv where the mute button will set it to 1/2 volume first, then mute.

Mixing it with a binder, effectively embedding it into a semi buried rock a seems like a slightly safer option than letting it sit out in the sun to be broken down by UV.

Im not convinced that picking Amazon packages, operating heavy machinery, doing data entry, or copy editing would have vastly differing performance changes from coffee consumption.

However…

I would imagine that an office worker might have more ready access to coffee, such as a communal coffee maker, than someone with less sedentary workspace.

“[Twenty-four] months is a more realistic time frame but strategically, she shouldn’t be opining on a time frame,” the person close to the White House said.

Fuck off! They can hold elections on a weeks notice in Europe We don’t need to import our garbage 24 month long US election cycle into Venezuela.

And the White House stressed that President Donald Trump’s priority is rebuilding Venezuela, and that elections “cannot happen overnight.” “As the President stated, there will be elections at the right time, but his top priority is to bring Venezuela back from the dead and rebuild the country,” a White House official said in a statement to POLITICO. “When the country has recovered to the point where it can hold clean, transparent elections, it will be up to the Venezuelan people to choose their leader. We want a stable, prosperous, free, and friendly Venezuela, but this cannot happen overnight.”

Bullshit! They’ll never “be ready” in this administrations opinion. They’ll always be just one more goalpost away. Even if we accept the bonkers premise that “Venezuela is dead”, it should be up to Venezuelans how they want to rebuild the country.

In case you ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ realize it yet this is a big cover up.

Fixed it!

I don’t know how much I’m allowed to spam links, but someone else asked where to find it and I shared a link to it there.

Once, I thought I pulled Jesus Blessing His Descilples at Bethany, but when I looked again it was just the disciples. 🤷‍♂️

Nerds do. I wouldn’t mind a signed copy of Tolkien’s Beowulf.

That reminds me. A friend of mine translated a German Longsword fighting manual. I need to get her to sign my copy.

These trends only last 6-7 months anyway.

I could be wrong, but I think the only cake that is guaranteed upside-up is one that you serve still in the pan you baked it in. That is more a choice of manner in which to serve the cake than a function of the sponge itself.

Upside down cake is constructed before baking in a way that is intended to be inverted from the baking orientation to serve.

It’s a match made in the heavens. With Valentines Day coming up keep an eye to the sky for a big bang

Northern Michigan-based Munson Healthcare said in a Facebook post that it was treating 11 people at its medical center in Traverse City.

 

I just went to charge my kitchen scale and it wouldn’t work until I dug out a USB-A -> C cable and plugged it into my desktop…

It just reminded me of how many devices like that I have. This scale, my wife’s sound torc, some car jumperstarters, and I think a one or two more…

I assume it’s because they just slap a usbc port on a dumb 5v circuit that doesn’t have a power negotiation controller. So the cable and the charger cant figure out the power needs of the device are and just never send any.

 

DISCLAIMER: I am in no way advocating for the spreading of a highly contagious and deadly disease or the abstention from safe and highly effective vaccines. But, this is No Stupid Questions, so…

Measles is known for wiping out your immune system memory and re-endangering you to pathogens you had once successfully fought off.

Allergies are when your immune system misidentifies something harmless (like pollen or peanuts) as a harmful pathogen and triggers an immune response.

So, what happens to allergies in people who get measles? Does it wipe out the immune system’s memory of the allergen? Does it expose them to develop new allergies? Do we even know whether it does anything to allergies at all, or has it never been studied? What about other auto immune diseases?

Secondly, if it does do something, is there some way that it can be utilized to help allergy sufferers? Not in the “give people a deadly contagious disease” kind of way (I’ve heard of the tapeworm thing), but is there something there that could studied and developed into a targeted drug or treatment? Or is the mechanism just too broad and dangerous.
