In 2013 Reddit accidentally revealed the most “Reddit Addicted City” was Eglin Air Force Base. A city with a pop of 2.8k getting +100k visits. Neat.
The 2nd most popular city from that list, Oak Brook Il, is the HQ of Elsevier, a data analytics company & DOD subcontractor.
The Research Lab at Eglin AFB was cited in a 2014 paper on how to influence social groups to converge to a “common desired state”
It’s been a decade since. How far do you think they’ve come?
Do you think the kind of circumstances that would lead to the 1% being ended would be conducive to another slotting itself in without problem?
Easiest things is to wash/disinfect the surface before you carve, like give the pumpkin a nice bleachwater bath. Use clean tools & seal the cut edges with petrolium jelly or WD-40.
Long-term you probably could dry it as a gourd to preserve it, but it’ll shrivel up a lot and look like shit.
Formaldehyde/pickling would also probably work, but i imagine it’d get all mushy.
Wanting transphobes to fuck off isnt self-centered. Its avoiding the Nazi bar problem.
Remove downvotes. Unironically, its a good idea. Requires people to actually engage with something if they disagree rather than just downvote and move on. Gets people talking & raises user engagement. Will be an uptick in shitflinging for a short while till all the assholes out themselves, get banned, and site culture improves from that alone.
Wait, you didnt know? Servers shut down in 4 days.
Our current society is based on violence and requires a great deal of it to establish and sustain itself. Are you bothered by this violence?
In addition to what other posters have said, chemotrophic bacteria can play a significant role concentrating/enriching certain metallic ores by eating dissolved minerals in deep groundwater and metabolizing out metals. Lots of vein-gold runs through very old & fractured marble/granite bedrock with a lot of hydrologic activity.
Glass. Meh just heated sand.
Wish it was that simple, but glass & construction-grade silica sand are actually becoming somewhat scarce and facing shortages. The composition, purity, and grain size make some sand vastly more desirable than other sand. There’s already commercial operations grinding down quartz slabs, because thats easier than trying to sieve and process out all the non-quartz grains.
And sand-dredging operations arent any less damaging to the enviroment than other strip mining methods even where there are good deposits. Glass recycling is good.
Give it a few (hundred) million years. It’ll happen.

Because my trapezii are fuckin’ jacked. Straight yoked. I’ve been working on my sternocliedomastoid form for years with some serious cervical reps. Glad someone noticed. 
A double entendré?
I think its just a reference to an old shitpost, of which the humor derives from absurdity.
A youtube compliation of high tension powerlines exploding.
It’s a fairly active instance so you should get some feedback at least.
Theres also https://live.hexbear.net/c/music for live listening/sharing, but like 30% chance anyone is on at any given time.
To be fair, the self-congratulatory threads on Hex are getting old too. Yes, I get it, there was dunks, keep it to the tank.
I thought about spraypaint, but i don’t know if that’ll hurt the snake. Would definitely piss it off. I figured a bit of nail polish would do the trick, but i dont know if thats bad for snakes either. And then at least i’d have a firm grasp on a pissed off snake. Was informed this was a terrible idea. DO NOT paint snakes.
I’ve got a lot of rats & fieldmice around the house, so i dont mind the snakes. I just want to stop them from trying to raid my coop.
Cause black holes don’t gravitate, but the event horizon does. Black holes dont really have volume in a way thats meaningful to us, but they do have a surface area, and thats what you can interact with.
You’re correct anything past an event horizon cannot interact with us, for all intents and purposes it doesnt exist. So all the interactions you associate with a black hole are interactions with the event horizon itself.
