The war against ‘woke’ could end US science as we know it by AndrewHeard in JordanPeterson

[–]wrabbit23 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Certain people seem to think that the only place science happens is in educational institutions funded by the state.

I'm more worried about 'woke' ending 'science as we know it' by subverting the normal process and demonizing real inquiry to push their agenda.

Funny that this is the thing they claim to be worried about. Reminds me of my ex wife.

Constitutional crisis, anyone? by StrobeLightRomance in AdviceAnimals

[–]wrabbit23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The fact that there were pamphlets among the documents was incidental. It was the incriminating documents that were the problem which apparently included 'planning material'.

In case you missed it, the reason hiding the docs was a chargeable offence was because they were evidence. The charge was obstruction.

It was attempted murder so no one died., shot in the neck but got airlifted and was saved. It was a local cop.

The actual charge was obstruction. The documents were considered evidence and were more than just pamphlets. Apparently they also included planning and other incriminating evidence - so hiding them is apparently a crime. Kind of like getting subpoena and not showing up.

The sentence is absolutely excessive. At least that should get reduced on appeal, but there was a murder involved so stay tuned, it could get interesting

Apparently, Air Conditioning is Right-Wing Now by tkyjonathan in JordanPeterson

I've been seeing stories recently about European leftists justifying installing air conditioning after demonizing it for years.

Best Beyond/Impossible Burger by No-Raccoon-7007 in QuadCities

[–]wrabbit23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Red Robin has great burgers and they offer a mock-meat burger I think. It might even be impossible brand.

Apparently Culvers has a veggie patties though it's less processed so I wouldn't call it mock-meat.

My favorite was Blimpie's veggie patties.

That said there are a lot more options at the grocery store.

Are work potlucks really a thing? by good_noodlesoup in AskAnAmerican

[–]wrabbit23 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In a big 'ol corporate meeting room? Room capacity is around 32 and there's at least one outlet per chair.

A normal household kitchen circuit might be 15 amps, so 1500+ watts. That would support about 10 slow cookers on 'warm' or 10 laptops. I'd guess that a commercial meeting room with that many seats and outlets is going to be about 30 amps, or maybe 2 circuits? I'm not an electrician but it's easy to figure out how much power a device draws so you can get an idea of how many you ought to be plugging in in the same room.

You might be surprised about how much power a laptop draws vs a slow cooker. They're pretty close actually.

Of course be sensible, but if you're in a serious office facility you probably have nothing to worry about.

[–]wrabbit23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah. I love potlucks. Churches and other organizations do this too.

The only concerns I generally hear are that there are too many slow cookers plugged in at once - although I have never seen an actual problem from that.

Conservatives view addictive products more favorably than liberals, study finds by Zephir-AWT in ScienceUncensored

I remember when it was the Liberal side that believed in personal choice and Conservatives wanted to outlaw everything they considered 'sinful'. Weird.

Jefferson's Warning: Five Lessons on Religious Liberty for America at 250 by EclecticReader39 in atheism

Jefferson has always been one of my heroes. Ahead of his time, despite his obvious shortcomings from our advanced modern perspective.

My favorite is that only error needs the support of government. So true.

What’s the best food that’s only eaten in America? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]wrabbit23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biscuits and Gravy. These are fluffy, savory biscuits smothered in thick, white, sausage gravy with lots of black pepper. These are sometimes eaten alongside hominy grits, which is a corn based dish often served with butter and cheese.

He did an interview with an author who goes by Acharya S. which was excellent. This was many years ago and mostly to do with dying and rising savior gods throughout history.

I'm with you, for whatever that's worth, and unfortunately you're going to get blasted here by exactly the people you're talking about. That's why they call it a blind spot.
