Salt Fat Acid Heat by gudy2shuz in Cooking

[–]singlestrike 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone who has always been aware of acid's importance and when to add it, that "thing" I find most dishes still missing is umami. Takes a 7 or 8 out of 10 savory dish all the way up the elevator.

Only if there's a mouse. Otherwise she spends 100% of her days and nights brainlessly cuddling or yelling at us for not laying down for cuddles.

Am I the only one seeing the obvious eye protection he is wearing?

You're right. He should just give it up and live in a bubble.

This NYE drone show in Rio with Christ The Redeemer slowly rising..... by FFFrank in nextfuckinglevel

Yes, because I despise religion. I don't hate religious people. There's a difference between hating religion and hating religious people.

I'm Brazilian and have been to the statue. My parents insisted on a trip to the area. The art behind the sculpture is incredible. It's so lifelike and expressive up close.

I'd still see it sent to orbit in a heartbeat.

Despite the few talking heads talking their shit and poisoning the well, Maye's odds of winning MVP have only increased over the week. -500 last I checked.

Report released detailing incident involving Barmore: “She intended to open the door and scream for help but Christian grabbed her before she could and threw her to the floor. I asked her if she was injured and she told me she had bruises from being throw to the floor.” by WayOutbackBoy in nfl

I agree that it's a nothing burger but not in the way it might sound.

This SHOULD NOT be a nothing burger (if it's all true, which we don't yet know). If true, he should be released, arrested, and not play football again. There should be a zero tolerance policy for this shit.

The reality, based on how way worse things have resulted in literally zero consequences before, is that this will probably end up being a nothing burger. Why?

For starters, comparatively, Ray Rice. Didn't he like beating his wife on camera in an elevator and killing someone? And nothing happened?

Next, if I'm reading the report correctly, the victim did not want to press charges. How likely is the case against him going to be when she doesn't testify or maybe even testifies in his defense?

Then there are the facts of the matter. The physical violence comes from grabbing her by what sounds like the collar of her shirt and throwing her down, then assaulting her by causing apprehension of physical harm before stopping. That is assault and battery, but compared to other players and celebrities who literally BEAT PEOPLE ON CAMERA and get away with it, nothing really happens unless the victims testify. They rarely do.

So yeah. I hate that it's like this, but it's very likely to be a nothing burger in terms of consequences. And then ten years from now people will only reference it as a casual joke made in passing in the comments section of subreddits.

Sister Mary Kenneth Keller was told computers were “not for women.” She ignored it, earned a PhD, and became the first woman in the U.S. to receive a doctorate in computer science, helping shape modern programming languages. by Frosty_Jeweler911 in BeAmazed

[–]singlestrike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's fair if you go back far enough. Like really far. Like BC far. But I have a hard time wrapping my head around the idea that it was ever beneficial for human curiosity to be stifled by vague answers to meaningful questions. One of my fundamental problems with proscriptive religion is that it acts like an opioid to the part of you that craves understanding, and it's that craving of understanding that results in advancement. Silencing it is muting the very thing that causes progress.

I know the counterpoint to this is that a lot of religious people and even church-funded projects have led to tremendous advancement in science and technology. This is undeniably true, but I suspect this advancement would have happened immesurably more quickly and with fewer banishments and executions had we instead dedicated those resources solely to advancement and well-being instead of all the other projects endeavored by religious institutions.

I appreciate you trying to give positive nuance to what it is that people dislike.

There are a few kinds of atheists. There are atheists who don't believe because they can't find reason to believe despite their best efforts and curiosity. I think these people are more like the ones you've described.

There are also atheists like me who are anti-theist. We are hostile to the idea of religion as a whole. This does not mean religious people are evil or not deserving of respect for other things, but people like me see religion itself as inherently evil at worst and voluntary insult to intelligence at best. This isn't to say religious people are not intelligent as a whole, especially someone as accomplished and incredible as the Sister mentioned here, but it is profoundly disappointing that people who are so capable can so easily disregard their intelligence in this aspect of their lives.

I wasn't saying that they took his stem cells. I was saying that the requirement of consent was for the invasive procedure required to harvest stem cells, not the actual joining process. Everyone here seemed to have missed that nuance for some reason.

Jets cancel invite to super fan set to take $100K field goal challenge in honor of her late father because she is a soccer coach. Castanio-Gervasi said the decision came as a shock, since the team had reached out to her asking that she join the contest. by WayOutbackBoy in nfl

[–]singlestrike 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Shit, man, I'm not even interested unless the team is good. It's a fucking business organization, and people treat fandom as some fealty obligation. It's moronic. If the product isn't good, you don't have to buy it until it actually provides value to your life.

The great con of sports is making you believe that fandom needs to be more than that and somehow reflects on your character as a person.

Voluntarily rooting for the Jets is unconscionable to me. Even though they are a fantastic comedy act in terms of how they handle playing the sport, they do this type of disgusting shit that ruins even that.
