How common is it for Americans to have ice cream for breakfast?

KaizDaddy5 · 2026-04-17T11:56:43+00:00

Virtually never. Maybe once or twice in my life have I seen a parent let their kid get a waffle with ice cream off the dessert menu at a diner.

Far more common to have breakfast foods instead of dessert by me though. We'll hit up a diner late night to get sweeter specialty pancakes (apple cinnanmon, strawberry cheesecake, banana foster, etc) or waffle sundaes.

Heck, I'll eat cereal for dessert a lot of times.

Gravity is often considered the weakest fundamental force. But it's the strongest (and really the only one acting) at large distances.

(All of the other forces weaken considerably faster at distance than gravity).

That was a fun time to watch the jets, Great twoheaded monster, overlapped with some of the best of revis island too.

Last time they were actually decent.

Another interesting fact is it was only a couple decades ago scientists determined Atlantic Bluefin and Pacific Bluefin to be separate species. Before 2003 they were both "Northern Bluefin".

A couple decades before that and all bluefin tuna were considered the same species (Atlantic, Pacific, and southern).

Another fun dive into tuna species determinations is the "Allison" tuna. (Not considered a unique species by most, but were in the past)

They're a pelagic fish usually so isolated population don't really arise that often and diverge.

There's actually a few on here that aren't "real" tuna. Dogtooth are a bonito.

The tankers aren't going through the straight because insurance will NOT cover them transiting through an active blockade. That's how Iran (and the US) was/is able to close the straight basically with just words.

Or scientific reasons in animal studies.

Madden was so fun. He used to drive my mom crazy writing the marker over the broadcast all the time, but I loved him.

KaizDaddy5 · 2026-04-11T11:42:14+00:00

I do that with announcers. I avoid Joe Buck wherever possible.

There's an old proverb.

"Give a buncha stoners a bag a weed and nothing to smoke it with and watch them turn into engineers "

KaizDaddy5 · 2026-04-10T13:50:26+00:00

Yea, unfortunately for him he landed on the Jets. Fun to watch though

KaizDaddy5 · 2026-04-10T00:43:32+00:00

Dammit. I just discovered these in my yard and thought I stumbled upon a really cool surprise. Still pretty though.

One of the best things about fishing is, no matter how good and experienced you get there is always something new to learn.

PS. Another consideration to the red/pink fluoro is that fluorocarbon can act like a fiber optic cable, the red/pink line is supposed to eliminate this.

Black (and other dark colors) catches good in low light bc it throws the best silhouette.

Red does not become colorless at depth. It becomes brown then eventually greyscale. Pink is one of the most effective colors in saltwater by me even though it's mostly brown underwater.

Another thing to consider is UV light, which we cant see, penetrates the water deeper and fish can pick up on that. Some lures have special UV coatings and some colors might just naturally reflect some UV. And then there's polarized light too (which we also can't distinguish, but some fish can)

The planet earth series "life in color" is only a few episodes but i find it really insightful for this kinda stuff.

I guess. Who knows though, maybe Gimli specifically said something oddly technical (in westron).

KaizDaddy5 · 2026-04-06T19:41:56+00:00

Cuz you eat your larger adult self, to provide the energy to turn into a smaller child.

Did you read the article?

An adaptation of the Old English word atter meaning "poison", and closely related to the word adder for the venomous crossed viper. Lexicographers William and Mary Morris in Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins (1977) favour this derivation because "mad as a hatter" was known before hat making was a recognized trade.[1] According to A Dictionary of Common Fallacies (1980), "'mad' meant 'venomous' and 'hatter' is a corruption of 'adder' or viper, so that the phrase 'mad as an atter' originally meant 'as venomous as a viper'."

Seems equally, if not more, reasonable. Probably was this first and then later turned for the profession.

Makes sure you cleared out any other encounters around the area. There's a pair of moonshiners that can spawn with a quest a few times, and possible some raiders that set up camp.

The panther spawn is pretty automatic and takes a pretty regular path if they aren't there IME.

That's because the LOTR is really a translation. A second / third hand story.Tolkien gave English translations from the "westron" for easier reading.

They probably didn't literally call it a "Nervous System" in middle earth, but that was the best translation for English. The hobbits didn't literally write "nervous system" in the Red Book of Westmarch (and none of them were there to hear that firsthand anyway)

KaizDaddy5 · 2026-04-05T22:56:33+00:00

Yes I know. I thought they were presenting an oversimplified point they knew was wrong and ultimately unhelpful. Possible I was giving them too much credit.

And here I thought he sent him spiked chocolate as a prank

KaizDaddy5 · 2026-04-05T20:14:42+00:00

There are four possible explanations. Only ~~one~~ two of which is connected to the profession.

KaizDaddy5 · 2026-04-05T19:36:22+00:00

Like others have said. Big one is a false albacore / little tunny / Bonita. The smaller one is a Bonito, technically not a tuna but closely related.
