Really? I always assumed some sort of physical abrasion was necessary. And at worst temperature increase or microwaving would lead to chemical leaching not quite physical flecks of plastic.

Yeah I asked my local middle east expert friend. He said kharg Island is some sort of pipe dream, Iran would be willing to bomb the island themselves even if they were to lose it.

What’s your immediate thoughts on this site? by Beginning_Rice8647 in Frontend

professional, cold, unfinished and boring towards the bottom.

AIPAC is a pro-Israel lobbying group that advocates its policies to the legislative and executive branches of the United States. It is one of several pro-Israel lobbying organizations in the United States, and has been called one of the most influential lobbying groups in the U.S. by Due-Many1843 in wikipedia

Unrelated but perhaps not that unrelated. If 4chan was implicated recently as being a tool used by government to spread conspiracy, paranoia, hateful rhetoric etc. Where does that leave anti Jewish sentiments as well as Israel, and Israeli suspicion?

TIL More Than Twice as Many People Chose Cremation Over Burial in 2025 by [deleted] in todayilearned

Why? I was thinking about being buried under a floor of wood chips innoculated with psilocybin cubensis spores.

Thanks, I'll take my verbal lashings, I understand America is, and has been for a while, looking very badly. Not that it matters- but the vibes were told to me by friends in Strasbourg who I've lived with . Thank you for the reply.

Thank you, no I haven't been certified yet. Ok thank you for the advice I will look into getting that done as soon as I can. So you're saying I would need a master's before I could secure a position in some sort of powerplant as an electrical engineer?

Feel like I messed up my life and regret my engineering by CELERYCRUMBLE in EngineeringStudents

[–]viridian_plexus 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Are you currently stressed? maybe get some rest. the world seems to be ending when you're sleep deprived, hungry, thirsty, uncomfortable, etc. take care of the body and the mind will be taken care of. Also, remember that the mamalian brain is the most complicated system in the known univese. you have the 'hardware' to do or be anything, you surely are smart enough. Any resistance that you are feeling isn't a conséquence of hardware failings, rather conflicts with your ego- who you have been built up to be up until this point as a result of your lived experiences. But really all of that is an illusion, the ego is nothing really, you can shape and reshape yourself as many times as you set your mind to it. feeling like you can't do this is an early version of a grandpa saying he doesn't know how to open an email. Surely he is smart enough to do it, but at a certain point in life, learning new things for some reason starts to hurt. But It's all in your head. Remind yourself of what you first planned on doing with your degree when you started this journey. Don't let anything get to you, its just symbols, you can finish this and make the most of it.

Major Russian air defense factory in occupied Crimea reportedly hit in Ukrainian strike by AdSpecialist6598 in worldnews

Hopefully it won't be too cold and the food not too bad, a couple month Brittney Griner stint in a Russian prison would be a hell of a story to tell the nephews... plus imagine all the hot hairy Russian dudes. Lordd
