Okay so this reminds me of something that happened in a college chemistry class and I was wondering if someone here can offer an explanation.

We were doing an experiment that first involved dissolving some copper into a solution, then chilling it to add another ingredient, then heating it on a hot plate. After doing all the other steps, I placed my beaker on the hot plate and turned around, then I heard a hissing sound. I turned back around just in time to see my beaker flying off the hot plate, off the counter, and smash on the floor.

My best explanation for this is that since the hot plate was already hot, some condensation from the previous chill step had dripped down, flashed to steam, and propelled the beaker off the hot plate.

I think you vastly overestimate my level of computer savviness.

Is there like a “tutorial for dummies” for this? I tried to use it once but got nowhere.

You only need it if you drive it on a public road

Act stupid

I’ve been training my whole life for this moment

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think any Earth-based telescope would be able to see anything we left at the landing sites.

I still daily drive an ‘09 Ranger with a manual. I’ve had multiple people come up and ask to buy it.

Pump the brakes. You take your shirt off but leave your sunglasses on? What sort of backwards fuckin pageantry is that?

None taken. Straight cis furries do exist, I’m one of them, although we do appear to be the minority

I think it’s the other way around. Being an obnoxious, aggressive douchebag makes you more likely to drive a huge pickup truck

It depends on the design of the toilet, and how much water it dumps into the bowl at each flush. Some toilet designs have a tank with a higher capacity than the bowl, so if it gets clogged then it’ll overflow. Pro tip: know where your toilet’s shutoff valve is, it’s usually on the wall just under the tank. If it looks like the toilet is about to overflow, just turn that valve off and you can avoid the mess.

Why do EVs get reserved parking spaces anyway?

It’s hurtful that they think I’d even be threatening and nasty. That they just immediately assume I’m some kind of monster. It makes me feel like I have no value.

Sure, but I can fix a carburetor with a wrench and a screwdriver. Can’t do that with modern cars.

“What kind of polish did you use on this table? The sheen is ridiculous! Send a bottle of whatever it is back with Darth Maul”

Is it just me or do places not do reservations anymore? Every place now just has a “waiting list” which is worthless for planning your evening around, since you have to be nearby when they text you or they’ll just cancel you and give it to the next person

Dix neuf

Haha gottem

Because a significant proportion of the country is also batshit.

Great story, but it descended too far into muscle-wank for my liking.

When I was a kid, my family went to go visit some extended family in rural southern France. It was going to be over Halloween, and since the French don’t celebrate it, we brought some American Halloween candy for them to try. To our surprise, they loved it, especially the Reese’s cups. We had expected them to find it gross, since they had much higher quality chocolate in Europe.
