    They should make a movie about that. Make the aliens blue, just because.

    the need for Earth-like resources could be met by visiting a whole range of unoccupied planets.

    Only if the resource they need is minerals or water. Not if it's lunch.

    If he'd prefixed the memo with "Allah (PBUH) says ..." you'd be supporting him 100%.

  4. despite not being a peer reviewed scientist himself.

    How exactly does one become "a peer reviewed scientist"? Do you have to submit your original self, or wil a copy do?

    He did that classic internet rationalist thing of deciding on his opinion first and then looking for some science to back it up

    Disgraceful. Who does he think he is, you?

    If your freezer is doing that it isn't just older or cheaper.

    The technical term is fucked. Get rid, it's a health hazard.

    Of course, I have to wait at least 30 minutes to an hour to clean since the pans need to cool or they'll warp.

    I've never had that happen, even with lightweight stuff designed for camping.

    Your burners don't heat evenly

    Have you tried cleaning the jets? Just had this (only getting a tiny flame on a quarter of the main burner) and there was a little speck of gunge partially blocking one of the crenellations[1]. Guessing she boiled over the coffee again.

    [1] Or to use the correct technical term, "them things like what you get on top of a castle".

    Especially if you live in a cheap apartment with a crappy kitchen. I do

    Be more awesome and you could have a better apartment with a better kitchen.

    If you were an awesome independent contractor like cayenne8 you could even claim it as a business expense if you cook in the same decade as you work.

    Is it the ingredients in 'ultra processed' foods that cause cancer, or overall poor lifestyle choices made my the types of people who consume a lot of this type of food? Or maybe something else all together?"

    By a process of elimination "something else"= having cancer causes you to eat crap.

    Unlikely, but it's possible. It could be that a genetic predisposition to cancer also causes you to eat processed food, dress like a colour-blind kleptomaniac and have tattoos that look like they were done with a biro and a panel pin.

    The constitution isn't like the laws of thermodynamics; it was created by people it can be changed by people.

  11. WW1, most if not all.

    WW2 not so much, though obviously some older designs stayed in service.

    An interesting one was the Vickers Wellington which used doped canvas over an alloy geodetic frame (looks like a diagonal mesh). It was very resistant to damage because the structure could distort a little to redistribute the stress. Several returned safely home with huge shell holes in them.

    I've heard similar figures before[1], so I assume they know what they're talking about.

    But even if 9/10 are really dialects, and there are 200-odd countries, it's still around 3:1. Intuitively, I'd expect the ratio to be the other way round, even with abominations like Belgium and Switzerland.
