No no, it's 1st world human nature to make things worse. Why fix the billionaire problem now, when we can elect the joker and try and fix it then? It'll be so much easier to fix it then, right?

I just hit no tip and say thanks! And walk out. It's not difficult.

What are they going to do? Make a scene? I pray they would.

I'm sorry, you tell me what fucking service I'm tipping you for? Do you tip your plumber? Do you tip the attendant at a roller coaster at a theme park? Do you tip front desk attendant at a hotel? No...pray tell, why do you think you need a tip for pouring me two-hour old hot bean water? Did you grind it by hand at my request? Did you personally see to it that I received only the very best beans at ye Starbucks roasteries? No? Then fuck off.

Old, angry, white men wanting to control women's bodies...a tale as old as time.

People like this are scared and weak. They can't handle a strong, opinionated woman or someone on equal standing on them, so they must strip away their rights. It's fucking scummy.

Agreed. How anyone can go, "This is our truth. This book is our law." And then explain how they just ignore all the parts that aren't convenient for them, and brush it away as of it's nothing.

The concept of a divine being is fine, but religion is disgusting. What it does to people is horrible.

Boredom breeds innovation. It's okay to be bored. In fact, I really wish our society would get "legitimately" bored more often.

From the article, it sounds like he knew they were a minor and still leaned into the conversations. Why? Why TF would you even be curious about it?

What's wrong with being Satanic?

The Satanic Temple had been more supportive and pushing for individual rights, women's rights, LGBT rights, bodily autonomy, and a science vs religion for years.

They've led the fight on the US to make sure that our religious freedoms are upheld. You know....that thing that our entire country was founded upon? There's nothing more American than embracing Satan lol...

That being said, no one is actually worshipping Satan. The majority of TST supporters are atheist, agnostic, and religious folks with enough religious humility that they support the righteous causes that the TST fights for.

If you could, donate to them or purchase something from their store (which is awesome btw). It all goes to amazing causes that likely 95% of you actually support.

Not only do they wholeheartedly support it, but they emphatically push it. The irony of pushing for something that you don't have to actually fight for, like they are "better" than other Israelis.

They are also the ones that are rabid supporters of Netanyahu as well, apparently because he tried to give them preferential treatment.

I tried my hand at making a starter years ago and it went poorly. I was gifted some starter earlier this week and have been bulking it up in order to bake some bread this weekend. The starter is MUCH better than any of the ones I've ever made, so Ive had high hopes all week that my sourdough will actually come out decent this time.

I've been following this recipe, and it's been going....not well. Everything was weighed to the gram, including the starter, and "lukewarm" water was about 80ish degrees. The dough is so unbelievably sticky that I can barely scrape it off the sides of the bowl.

Is this normal? It's been years since I've done this so I'm back to questioning everything. I'm planning to just drop the whole thing into a Dutch oven and cook it, but I understand that I'm deviating from the recipe. My Dutch oven cooks were just so much better.

Cna anyone provide a better recipe for just a basic sourdough boule that you've had decent success with? I'd really like to continue baking bread, but I know for a fact that I'll wind up giving up again if I have too many failures (I think I baked 8 different times a few years ago, and I gave up because they were always so dense, and flat.). Really want something with a good, fluffy, stretchy crumb.

Any advice or questions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

A University of Virginia professor believes he has discovered how to create a freeze-ray device, inspired by the Batman villain, Mr. Freeze. Rather than being a weapon, this device is intended to cool down electronics within spacecraft and high-altitude jets.

A tiny, hard-working bacterium -- which weighs one-trillionth of a gram -- may soon have a large influence on processing rare earth elements in an eco-friendly way.

"Traditional thermochemical methods for separating lanthanides are environmentally horrible," said Buz Barstow, assistant professor of biological and environmental engineering at Cornell, the corresponding author. "It's difficult to refine these elements. That's why we send rare earth elements offshore -- generally to China -- to process them."

Not sure how useful it is yet, but it sounds like with some AI and proper cameras you could use it to completely repair certain components. Theres something similar to this using electrochemical plating to repair microfractures throughout a component - only downside is that it takes like weeks to do it properly (I'll see if I can dig up the paper later)

Looking for some ideas for friends and coworkers. If anyone can think of anything cool, I'd love to see it.
