2011.  If it hasn’t happened after ten years, I think it’s going to take a change in circumstance for it to happen ever.

That or a manual solution—but it takes a crew of eight and a crane to swing a cowswatter.

Here’s why: a few years ago, Cook’s Illustrated ran an experiment using grapes that showed high levels of pesticides.

Yeah, but it’s the correct answer if you use tau instead of pi.

That begs the question: approximately how many peanut butter cups are present in a single slice of the pie?

I think Pratchett had someone like Buggy Swires or Wee Mad Arthur taunting Fred Colon about splashing if he fell, but I don’t remember enough details to find the quote. Regardless, the specific sentiment & diction combo is from J. B. S. Haldane ( https://www.phys.ufl.edu/courses/phy3221/spring10/HaldaneRightSize.pdf…

Physics checks out. An elephant falling that distance would splash.

I had to do the math. 80 mm by 80 mm by .0001 mm = .64 mm^3 , or .00064 cm^3 . With gold having a density of 19.3 g/cm^3 , and the bid spot price as I type this being $59.85/g , recovering a single leaf’s worth of gold will get you about $.739 worth of metal.

Allow me to seriously suggest simple replacement, without even so much comment as a card after the opening credits reading “In some scenes, the part of Shuri will be played by an actress with sense.” Let Black Panther 2 go down in history as the highest budget film appearing on “List of characters played by multiple…

Ooo, fetish wear for people into glycosidic bondage.

Coming next: A/B testing to see if more people donate $100 in response to an (A) promise, or (B) threat to send a dick pic.

Yeah, but recently, quartz-related woo stuff managed to kill a few people and prompted a product recall: https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2022/Walmart-Recalls-Better-Homes-and-Gardens-Essential-Oil-Infused-Aromatherapy-Room-Spray-with-Gemstones-Due-to-Rare-and-Dangerous-Bacteria-Bacteria-Identified-in-this-Outbreak-Linked-…

It’s not likely to be a simple binary, though. If nothing else, there’s the question of “minimum infective dose”: how big a glob of infectious whatever-it-is is needed to start the disease state rolling. A higher antibody titer is likely (but not guaranteed) to mean better odds against a bigger booger of infected snot…

“We have this joke among us that when the US sneezes the rest of the world catches a [cold],” Dr. Mofokeng said in an interview with The Guardian published Monday.

The a2 milk people have been pushing the stuff in the USA since 2003. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A2_milk )  There have been decades to nail down what advantages, if any, it has. That there isn’t good evidence it has any advantages at all strongly suggests there’s nothing important going on here.
