I saw Furiosa in the theater Sunday. About 7 people in the theater. Movie was good, tad slow in the middle, but definitely got me tense a few times. I don’t know what it is about movie theaters but they always seem grimey and as I get older I don’t tolerate grimey things as much. I’d give the movie 7/10 and the movie theater experience 4/10.

Halfway to Idiocracy

I’m almost 50 years old and I’ve been hearing about this for almost 50 years.

Did you name it?

Reading through the articles and linked articles in the comments, gas stove emissions contribute to, not a direct cause of, the deaths of .04% of the 50 million people in the US that use gas stoves.

Not saying this isn’t important, but I don’t think this will ever crack the top 10 concerns of my lifetime.

I just woke up and read the headline as “highly photogenic bird flu”

Watch as Musk seamlessly blends in with his surroundings. Predators are unable to distinguish his profile from the white yacht with black trim.

Hey guys…I don’t think that picture’s to scale…

I have nothing to contribute to this conversation. Just wanted to say that was a horribly written article.

We tested Comac parts for FAA certification. When you’ve tested parts for decades you can pretty much nail down the cause of the failure be it design, process, materials, a combination and so forth.

Also the c919 is only certified in China. It can’t fly in the US or Europe.

There is more that goes into an airplane than the people maintaining or assembling it, which can and does go afoul. There is the entire manufacturing process, how materials are sourced, processed, refined, machined/formed, heat treated, stress relieved, coated/plated, assembled, and the list goes on. That is a major factor why aircraft are so safe and if you think China’s material and process controls are as rigorous as someone like Boeing or Airbus, it isn’t. It has taken decades of actual aircraft manufacturing to get the formula right for those respective companies and they continue to evolve as time goes on and new information is learned.

Does that mean 12 is the new toddler?

What a great image. You’ve got a guy on the far left eating elbow, the big beard guy with chipmunk teeth and the longest arm I’ve ever seen. Then when you look at the rest the crowd I don’t think anyone’s hands makes sense and I’m trying to make the T-shirt spell something but I just get Boabaneter?

I was lead to believe we would get Ant Man.

Might find your answer here around the 50,000 year mark.

The authors wrote: “Although the specific mechanism of erectile dysfunction caused by computer use has not been clarified in the present study, the damage of sedentary behaviour to erectile function appears to be clear, which needs to attract public attention.

The study also says that for every 1.2 hours spent using the computer the chances of experiencing ED increase by 3.57. I’m starting to formulate a theory as to the mechanism of ED caused by computer use. Stick with me here. The longer men sit in front of a computer the greater the chances they view porn and “bust a nut” (I believe that’s the technical term) thus increasing the perception that they are suffering from ED because as we all know, when you ask someone if they watch porn on their computer the answer is almost always “no”.

I am not a scientist or formally educated and suffer from lower levels of follicle-stimulating hormones. The edits were to fix spelling errors. Probably some still lingering around.

Can’t we just enjoy the joke? You’ve brought up a topic worthy of discussion, but for a shitpost thread?

Edit: Added a word

Clever and I get the joke and it made me smile. If I recall my biology from 20 years ago I think the cell makes duplicates of its chromosomes then splits apart. So you have two cells inside one membrane that separates, 2 / 1 = 2. The way I first thought about it was one cell splitting in half, so half goes to one cell, the other half with the other, 1 / .5 = 2.

In short, I think the math works out fine, but the language you use to describe it can lead to comedy gold. You could say cells reproduce by division? I don’t know, I’m not a biologist or mathematician. I’m a toilet poster.

I’ve enjoyed reading many of these comments and I wanted to expand a bit on the reason for the question.

Several friends of mine would camp for several days and do the kind of things guys do. Then we’d realize we’re kind of gross, rude, not attractive, have a lot of shortcomings, and generally not full of great qualities. But, we’ve all been married a long time and will ask ourselves why in the hell did our wives agree to marry ugly, gross fools like us? We know why we married them; they’re far better people than we are! My wife is obviously smarter than me and it isn’t even a fair comparison.

In the end, I guess we make them laugh and are extremely wealthy.

I lied about the extremely wealthy part. I meant borderline poor.
