I suppose this is true. If you somehow don’t feel the difference in your hand or in your mouth, you could swallow it by mistake.

On the flip side, The contents of that plastic container are just silica gel beads made for consumables so it should be mostly inert and pass right through. They say “Do not eat” on the package, but they’re not especially harmful if you do. The biggest risk is an intestinal blockage if you eat too many, but this is not likely to happen with a single mistake

No, the desiccant is surrounded in hard plastic. You’d realize what it was as soon as you held it

Important note about muddling: you’re just looking to get the mint to release the oils, but not the chlorophyll. Dont beat the hell out of your mint, just press it against the sugar a couple times.

If you press the mint too much, it will give you a bitter herbal flavor that is not desirable.

This would be a double edged sword. Without regulation, the ISP will work in whichever way grants them the most money.

This means that they probably won’t go after copyright claims unless the rightsholders pay them first, but they will ramp up data collection efforts to sell to brokerage firms and will also engage in rate-limiting on high-bandwith use cases like streaming or torrenting unless you pay extra.

Not super surprising. We tend to follow whatever the US does in terms of international politics.

fun fact: If you ever see any of those quirky “solve this complex equation for the Wifi password” It’s always either the phone number of the place, or the first X digits of Pi.

necessary for what?

necessary for what, motherfucker?

I’m sorry about my neighbors, things are fucked up here.

The oilsands have warped the economy so much in this province that any political party that doesn’t align with the wants of that industry specifically is seen as the antichrist.

As a result, we also get a lot of the anti-gay, anti-trans rhetoric that comes part and parcel with right wing politics.

“hey what if we made a cartoon entirely about the revenge fantasies of a 12 year old girl?”

“Sounds great, make it papercraft too, just to make it extra unsettling”

Omelette du fromage

I have a soft spot for Bakshi movies but I haven’t seen this one. I will have to check it out.

I think my favorite is Heavy Traffic. It feels like they figured out most of the production problems with Fritz by the time they made it, but still haven’t run entirely out of money like with Wizards.

Probably the Toxic Crusaders, but only after watching the movie it’s based on.

The cartoon itself is just another knockoff TMNT, which was the style at the time. I have no idea how someone showed a board of directors the Toxic Avenger in the early 90s and said, we should take this and make it a cartoon for children.

Wizards had the best ending of any movie I’ve seen to date. It just comes out of fucking nowhere.

No, you don’t get it.

The only way to achieve a communist utopia is to keep giving more money and power to the current ruling classes.

Yes, absolutely.

The nice thing about Reddit was that if I saw a new TV show, read a new novel, or picked up a new hobby, there would be an existing community of people already talking about it. Lemmy is great, but it doesn’t have the critical mass of people needed for that to be possible.

Casting this would be a challenge. With no costs and no suspend keyword, you’d be basically required to cascade into it

Not at all. If anything, lemm.ee tends to accept more viewpoints than most other instances.

Unless you mean censorship like banning CSAM. In which case, yes, but its welcome.

They were pretty astonished when they heard that she had installed a GPU by herself (which most people here know is trivial). Which gave her enough confidence to fix her VCR by herself.

Anyone can learn any skill if they actually invest the time.

And regarding the older brother, you learn pretty quickly working help desk that users generally don’t care what the problem is or why it happened. They just want to get back to work and not have it happen again. After a while you get conditioned to just be friendly and solve the issue without explaining what you’re doing or why.

To be fair, the protein folding thing is legitimately impressive and an actual good use for the technology that isnt just harvesting people’s creativity for profit.

I have seen many anime with this premise exactly
