“I want to” doesn’t incite someone to do the same and @world might be more censor-happy, but they’re still not reddit.

I think the confusion lies around the word “terminal.” Starlink sent internet service terminals to swing states in the US with questionable internet, not voting terminals. As far as I can see, they don’t make voting machines (though that would be terrifying and is probably up next). I wasn’t able to see whether the Canadian government relied on them for internet service surrounding the election.

The white man’s burden is also used referentially to call out people who do things like travel to poor countries to build houses even though they have far less building experience than locals and the money they paid to get there would have gone much further, had it simply been donated in the form of building materials.

I don’t know how RFK Jr. is using it, but it almost certainly makes no sense.

Edit: oh, voluntourism! I knew there was a term for it

Or new slang

And he no longer owned the company afterward, so it’s kind of like losing his job. Or just spectacularly quitting.

That’s why I was initially surprised, but the og method involved high heat to break down the woodiness of the fibers, and that leads to methanol, not ethanol. You do need sugars for either though, afaik, because the yeast has to eat something either way.

Wait, you can’t make ethanol from wood? I guess that would make sense, because otherwise you’d see a lot more wood liqueurs, I’ve only ever heard of alcohol made from maple syrup, birch, and pine (but that last one was from a rural Austrian town and they aren’t allowed to sell it elsewhere, so it might be a little more poisonous than the others). This is going to be a rabbit hole.

Edit: you can, but it’s not the traditional way of turning wood into alcohol, and an efficient method has only recently been developed.

Way more expensive than a DS though

Did journalists have anything to do with that?

Yeah, cutting, cooking, chemically altering, and dehydrating foods are all forms of processing them. There are very few foods people can actually eat without any form of processing, and the ones that we can offer basically no protein, fat, or complex carbohydrates, mostly just sugar, fiber and vitamins (not necessarily bad, but you need more)

There’s bread and there’s bread and there’s bread. All are highly processed, given the milling, kneading, fermentation, and baking required for bread, but there’s a huge gap between wonder bread and Russian black bread. I’d be very surprised if the latter is worse for you than bananas, a starch we eat with very little processing

Women are born with their eggs, but that’s not true for women who are born without ovaries, which has got to be possible, so this is a dumb definition anyway

I want to put this on the window at my bakery

The lettuce is so much longer lived.

Look at you, making it all easy to understand

I love reading about physics things that I just can’t conceptualize. Spaces with more or fewer than 360 degrees of rotation? Cool, I absolutely can’t imagine it

lol, no worries. That’s basically what I was picturing with yowie, lmao

Sorry, I don’t see an “ah” in Lois, was that just for the post “ya” vowels?

Wild, I did not expect that. Thank you! Do you know why it’s transliterated with an a?

Relevant question: anyone know how to pronounce “yaoi?” In my head, it’s yowie, but that doesn’t feel right
