I watched Bebop when itn first aired. I have rewatched it multiple times since then. I own it in multiple formats.

As the linked article explains, there is no such thing as a Massachusetts hot dog. There is a New England-style bun. You can grill it or steam it and you can put whatever you want on it. I lived in Massachusetts for 47 years and cooked in restaurants for three summers when I was in school (including Friendly’s, where…

Author of what? [Kinja’s so broken, even the writers get hosed by it!]

Sure, linking to Zeynep Tufekci’s thread on this (she’s written some amazing stuff on the pandemic). It’s not that the MIT study was bad it was just miscommunicated.

Just a note: even indoors distancing still does matter. There was one MIT study that was badly communicated that made it seem like Covid would mix  equally in the room but that’s generally not true.

Agnostic Atheism and Gnostic Atheism are two separate things - the belief that there is no god without knowledge vs the claim to know for certain that there is no god.

predictably comments are full of rubes who got suckered into the meme stonks defending the guy.

Seriously. Almost everyone who made actual money on this whole deeply stupid thing already had plenty of money to throw around.

You’re deeply mistaken if you think this guy is a not-rich guy lol

Lying about a stock with the intent to change the price of that stock is unethical.

Just a couple of successful remakes of the top of my head:

The Fright Night reboot was excellent.

Well the old ICs that are still in use have 2.54mm pitch for pins. So sadly inches are going to persists in electronics for a while.

“Speculative fiction” is a bullshit term. It was invented by Robert Heinlein in the ‘50s so he could pitch his stories to upscale magazines, aka “the slicks” (Collier’s, The Atlantic, The New Yorker, etc.). “Speculative fiction” sounded more mature and responsible than “science fiction,” which was a term that had come…

I have been in US for 20 years. I still haven’t figured out this Fahrenheit thing. And baseball and handegg neither.
