What's the difference between religion and any other belief systems?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

You'd have to cut out the part of our brain that's responsible for religious thinking. So what does that do to humanity?

Wow, welcome to 2006!

Why? (Honest question, seems like a good PSA type moment)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

No, it's not.

Absorption /= emulsification. Nor does it equal adsorption.

They're different, and have different properties.

An emulsification can be broken by agitation or introduction of another substance.

Soap and water do not absorb oil.

Wait, it was the same CEO at both? Holy shit I didn't realize.

the expensive wines don't ~~actually~~ automatically taste better...

Ftfy

Sometimes they do. I've definitely had excellent expensive wines. But I've also had great bottles for $10.

For some things cost can matter, it just really depends. Stuff that can only attain certain flavors by aging in barrels, that time makes it cost more (similar to how really good Balsamic Vinegar is costly because of aging).

But yea, there's a LOT of BS in the wine world. I rarely have an expensive one, it's not worth the risk in $ for an unknown quantity, when less expensive wines can be great.

Gonna need more info, as what you're asking for is simply a calculator.

Or a spreadsheet

Also, most routers have less strict security if the connection is coming from the inside. Make sure any access methods to your router is secure.

Damn good point. Use the same security internally as externally.

I think there's a lot of risk exposing your home IP with services behind it. Last time I did it, within minutes the router got slammed with requests trying to break into services. It actually impacted router performance.

Great writeup!

Exactly my thoughts!

Cause they like it?
