Holy voting choices!
  • 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?

  • Tip?
  • 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.

  • Angry Republican hangs anti-IVF posters outside congressional office
  • 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.

  • Oklahoma superintendent orders schools to teach the Bible
  • 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.

  • Gender non-conforming family called "Satanic" after being outed by school
  • 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.

  • Israeli court rules ultra-Orthodox men must be drafted for military service
  • 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.

    Help! Asian Needle Ant Invasion

    It's gotten everyone in our family and recently just got my daught 4 times yesterday. They are extremely painful and you feel waves of pain for hours. And just ONE OF THEM is capable of doing that. These bastards need to die, and I'm hoping you can help or point me in the direction of a community that can.

    Any ideas?

    Need some advice...is the dough supposed to be this sticky?

    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 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.

    Little bacterium may make big impact on rare-earth processing

    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."

    www.sciencedaily.com Surprising discovery shows electron beam radiation can repair nanostructures

    In a surprising new study, researchers have found that the electron beam radiation that they previously thought degraded crystals can actually repair cracks in these nanostructures. The groundbreaking discovery provides a new pathway to create more perfect crystal nanostructures, a process that...

    Surprising discovery shows electron beam radiation can repair nanostructures

    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)

    www.sciencedaily.com Researchers create method for making net-zero aviation fuel

    An interdisciplinary team of researchers has developed a potential breakthrough in green aviation: a recipe for a net-zero fuel for planes that will pull carbon dioxide (CO2) out of the air.

    Researchers create method for making net-zero aviation fuel

    The proposed fuel is not SAF, it's a combination of magnesium and hydrogen mixed with hydrocarbon fuel. It's estimated to give 8% more range over other existing aviation fuels.
