Is it me or does she look like the Slitheen lady from Doctor who?

Wow. Rhetoric is important. You have to convince people. Sometimes that’s doing it with them.

lol classic misdirection

Never seen it but think it came out in the 90s?

Not sure what you’re trying to say.

Those articles are archaic. Very strange to assume that everyone will have seen those and then use them as a vehicle of attack.

Asia was never brought up in the conversation. Unsure why you feel the need to misrepresent my words.

You deduce that I’m racist based on one single post that indicates that they may want to avoid future attacks from Russia?

More like stopping that from ever happening again.

I’ve done one. Not worth it in my opinion.

It turns out that the methods used to make soap have gotten more efficient at using up all the base products. You really need sodium hydroxide (lye) and a fat, usually vegetable, but can be animal. You combine and cook it until a chemical reaction called saponification completes, and you have soap. Modern soap is going to have a lot more than just that in it (like color, scent, surfactants, etc.), but that’s the basics.

Back in the day, however, soap was shipped with free lye still floating in it. This is why you’ve always been told not to use soap on cast iron. It’s also going to make your hands very dry. New soap doesn’t have free lye floating around so it’s not so hard on your hands and you CAN actually use it on cast iron, believe it or not.

LOL I would have definitely tested that one.

Take 1: If I understand correctly, several of them work for the same startup. Frankly, those places are KNOWN to be toxic hellholes because they tend to be run by adulation-seeking narcissists from an upper middle class (entitled) background. Shit rolls downhill and all and your friends may just be picking it up subconsciously and don’t have the ability to really manage the emotions that this is causing. In a phrase: you might end up feeling sorry for them.

Take 2: Are you recently out of high school or recently out of college? Few people really remain friends after this because they get pulled into different directions and their lives change. This causes things to fall apart, but it is nobody’s fault.

Take 3: These people have always been toxic. You didn’t notice it before or didn’t think it was a big deal. Now you notice it and think it is a big deal.

Do the whole Back to the Future thing and take back a list of lottery winnings, stock picks, etc. Just keep slyly moving things around at the proper times and you’d have no trouble becoming the next Bezos.

You’re utterly naive. I don’t want to be mean but this is what we want as a country. Guess you never noticed before.

Person self immolated in front of on campus and I felt the heat of the fireball. Then he rolled around on the ground screaming while someone tried spraying him with water, which has the same effect as with grease fire in the kitchen.

And it’s just theater. They aren’t catching more people because there aren’t more people trying to do things. Instead we make old ladies in wheelchairs take off their diapers for inspection (true story) pat ourselves on the back, and pray to NIMBY Jesus.

I did before Google sent me a free Google Home. Before that I played music from a beat up tablet I just kept in the bathroom.

Might be eddy currents.

They’ve aged fine if you don’t expect the effects to be 2023 effects. If you accept that they were top of the line 1978 effects, it won’t bother you at all. What always made me laugh is my mother telling me how they were all dumbfounded, not by laser blasts and cool ship exteriors, but rather the introductory text moving off into infinity. I think she’d have been something like 21 at the time.

New Star Wars sucks for sure. The originals are much better.
