"Can you hold it" was meant as "abstain from pooping for just a little longer," but was instead interpreted as, "poop, and then hold the poop in your hands."

I think you mean more scrupulous, not less.

I grew up with a hand-cranked popcorn maker. Then, in grad school, I realized that you don't actually need any of that, just a pot with oil.

I heat up (medium) a tiny bit of neutral oil with a few kernels until they pop. Then I add ~1/4C neutral oil and ~1/3C popcorn kernels. When I can count to ten between pops I turn it off, empty in bowl, drizzle with olive oil and add salt and nutritional yeast (and MSG if you have it).

If you lose power, you can use one of these cables to power your house (or at least, the part of your house on that phase).

This is not how you should do this, but it can work. It is not a good idea (possibly illegal?).

Hopefully you can publish in an open-access journal


if not it would be great if you could share an arXiv preprint :)

You said that no one...

I don't think that was the parent commenter though...

"Political choice is between a turd sandwich and a giant douche" being my favorite example.

Neither candidate is/was ideal, but good lord to say that what's happening now is no different than when the other side was in power is beyond asinine, it's an incredibly disingenuous and offensive take on reality. (I know the SP episode wasn't about the current US political situation, but the current US political situation absolutely has its roots going back to those SP episodes.)

You experience the passage of time as ever increasing in speed, and before long the universe has died, leaving you


immortal and sentient


alone in the cold, dead cosmos, for eternity.

Bonus points: use non-qwerty keyboard for added obfuscation (but keep the qwerty key caps of course).

It is really powerful per watt, and has a built-in UPS. Any homelab type things you could do with that? macOS+homebrew will give you a nice *NIX feel, very familiar if you're a Linux user.

I'm a fan of having a remote homelab computer+disk for off-site storage. This would be a good candidate in that it wouldn't use excessive power at a friend/family's place, but may be overkill (I use a pi3 for that).

I hope I'm wrong! I'd definitely consider buying some


hopefully you can report back with results. If they're slower than advertised but have the actual capacity that'd still be awesome!
