Until this moment, I kind of thought that Zendaya was a brand of yogurt.

Shit, man, there are probably even people out there who don’t even know who Norman Borlaug was, if you can believe it.

That’s what Medicaid is for.

But if we just get rid of humans altogether, then the cube is also free for AI to build a huge data center to run agentic workflows.

Parmesan has become the type name, and Parmigiano Reggiano is the protected name for the Italian cheese. There’s actually an urban legend that the Parmesan made in Wisconsin is the more authentic, historically-accurate recipe, because the cheese made in Parma and Reggio Emilia has evolved over the years, while the immigrants in the United States stayed true to the old methods.

Slate has a long read on the topic.

It’s not exactly sawdust, but they do have to add cellulose to pre-grated cheese, otherwise it will re-form back into a block of cheese. (Same reason why pre-sliced cheese has those bits of paper between the slices.)

Kind of meta, but does anybody remember garage door openers back in the day? My family had one for which the “security” consisted of an 8-bit “key,” as in, the remote had 8 jumpers, and the lift unit had 8 DIP switches. You’d cut jumpers in a certain pattern, and flip the switches to match. What was fun was seeing how many garage doors around town we could open using the default pattern.

Smart locks have got to be at least a slight improvent, right?

And with the pickup trucks, it’s the high center of gravity which makes them deathtraps.

And yet the Model F trucks are consistent best-sellers today.

The bootlickers aren’t giving practical advice when they say it; they’re victim-blaming.

Counterpoint: Philando Castile, Daniel Shaver, Renee Good.

That’s why it’s Bootlicker Bullshit Bingo card.

Imagine being so ignorant and/or racist to call out another nation for human trafficking from the United States.

This is a shitpost? Seems like a LPT as a useful, quick approximation, since the real formula is “subtract 32, divide by 9/5”. 30≈32, and 2≈9/5, as long as you’re figuring out what to wear for the day, not working in a chemistry lab. (Don’t burn your meth, fer gawdsakes!)

For 32°F, the approximation is 1°C, and even where the scales align at -40°, it works out to -35°C.
