It’s actually racist not to cast a white man if you think about it – which I haven’t, obviously.

Can I lick it? by pruwybn in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 106 points 3 weeks ago

We can't lick sodium or chlorine, but combine them and you get something we literally make blocks of for the purpose of licking. What a world!

You can change the tool to filter based on different criteria. Discovered via this article: https://mynorthwest.com/3958094/colleen-obrien-seattles-new-walkability-maps/

is there a legal way to consume alcohol bought at a store, outside of a home, hotel room, etc.? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I'm thinking in the U.S. and Canada. For example, if you're on vacation, you've checked out of your hotel room and have several hours until your flight, and you have some cans of beer left over. I know you could sneakily drink them in a park or something, but I'm just curious if there's any way to do it that's legal.

Was in south Ontario, the sky was clear for about an hour before totality, and then about 15 minutes before, a big dark cloud came in and ruined it.

Well, the eclipse came and went, and the world didn't end. What did we do wrong? by pruwybn in c/[email protected]

Check it out - we drill a huge hole through the moon, and put a giant magnifying glass in it. Then, next time there's an eclipse...

This video is from a couple of years ago, but I was reminded of it reading Tom's new book, Biking Uphill in the Rain. Recommended for anyone interested in Seattle history and/or biking. It definitely deserves more views!

A 7,000-Pound Car Smashed Through a Guardrail. That’s Bad News for All of Us. by pruwybn in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 275 points 3 months ago

Hmm, these huge trucks are killing pedestrians, causing worse crashes due to crash incompatibility, destroying the climate, and now smashing through guard rails and flying off cliffs. We'd better change our entire country's infrastructure to accommodate them.

Before playing the game, the participants sniffed either female tears or a saline solution

Why would they not include male tears in the test?
