I am a male engineer who works with plenty of other male engineers and a few female engineers. Lots of people do this, it’s not exclusively something men do to women. Actually I mostly get it from sales people, they have the sort of ego and drive that has them talking over people a lot. It’s not particularly sexist,…

The last point made here is key. Insistence of certainty is a pretty big barrier for people, and even people who believe in climate change should be careful about buying into sensational claims. The article does a good job of pointing out what we don’t know, which is good. This was a big barrier for me, people…

You’re all wrong. I’m from Minneapolis, the cheese goes inside the burger patty.

10 years ago my church had a toy drive around Christmas time, people donated stuff or whatever. This was a small rural church, had maybe 100 people. Somebody donated an unopened NES with Mario Bros and Duck Hunt. I recognized that this was actually worth something, but I couldn’t take it. If I had known who was…

Where do DMs show up in the desktop browser? I’ve never been able to figure that one out. What about the stories?

Trying to talk me into drinking splinters.

The name of this blog is cultural appropriation from the Ninja Turtles.

He looks like a comic book drawing of Joseph Gordon-Levitt

My mom made up a thing when I was in high school, nothing too crazy but it was a sort of chicken/spinach/olive/tomato/whatever vegetables kind of thing with penne. Everybody loved it, so she kept making it and it needed a name. We ended up calling it Kenny, and it’s known by that name to this day.

Super interesting. I’ve wondered about this kind of stuff before, whenever anybody makes a claim about some chunk of land belonging to somebody. War and conquest is a part of human history, lots of people groups have controlled any given piece of land. In a lot of cases, we don’t have much information about groups…

I was thinking recently that it would be cool to donate my body to be mummified. I saw a thing about how different kinds of mummies are made, and I thought it would be educational to see this process done on an actual body.

I’d be interested to see how pork belly turns out. Long and slow cooking is great for all that fat, but I don’t know how low of a temperature you can cook at and still have that work out. I’d be curious to see the results. Pork belly is pretty cheap to buy at Costco too, so I have it around fairly often.

Heroes of the Storm has Stitches, not Patches as stated above

Agreed, though a lawsuit can establish legal precedent

mmmmm the good ol’ gin-n-jam

It’s annoying that the game keeps sliding up and down on my screen when I press up and down... I thought maybe zooming in or out in my browser or going full screen with my browser window would fix that, but it doesn’t. Anybody have better luck?

fry in a bit of olive oil with lemon and red bell pepper, toss in some pine nuts at the end

You owe it to society to have plenty of children!

I wish Blizzard had other game series that I could play to enjoy my favorite HotS characters in their own environments... It would be cool if those heroes had some back story instead of just being generic characters invented for a team fighting game.
