In my experience they are not usually this blue, but they *are* even cuter than the picture.

In some countries, the oven-safe one is called baking paper, which definitely makes it easier to remember.

Well there's chocolate fondue which you dip fruit etc. into. And it might be able to be non-dairy chocolate? That might be why they only have sliced banana and melted chocolate for the "cake". Of course I don't know that fondue place in particular.

Selflessness or generosity makes some people feel bad for not being as selfless or generous.

It's a little open to interpretation, but I think that what he's saying is that the world that he lived in was the inevitable result of what people wanted for themselves, and what they chose to do to get it.

There's a little hole in the middle, would work for opening the hatch or even dropping the rope through.

Well, it will mostly look the same. You'll just see a few points at the start that look off. They rapidly get closer and closer and it will look essentially the same from a few points in.

Very similar to my experience, although I only lasted four weeks or so iirc. I did the vegetarian; I found the fresh vegetables were the worst.

For handicap races they carry different weights though.

It's not for finding the best sprinter, the race is for gambling. The prize money is just to get enough competitors to show.

It's for gambling. Like horse racing.

The inconsistency here is that if they need to charge a fee because it is too late to fill the appointment time, then they should be charging that fee for rescheduling too.

You cut off the other parts of that graph. Further, recent climate change is not visible on that time scale. It's pretty clear atmospheric CO2 is strongly related to global temperatures on that timescale and our atmospheric CO2 is way higher than any of the values recorded on the rest of that graph, suggesting the temperature is still catching up. Whether or not the Earth has experienced worse temperatures is not that relevant: it's still going to cause huge hardship and disruption.

Yes! Being offended at sensible precautions only helps the terrible people get away with things.

As it turns out, the picture was misleading and he was taking it from road level.

You get more power to control things. To change things you want to change, to influence people you want to influence.

Interesting fact: Ben Lee included the phrase "I want a TV embrace" in the song Cigarettes Will Kill You based on a mishearing of "your deviant ways" in the first song here (Sleep to Dream).

I can easily spot a TV show from early 2000s by the fashions, but not sure what I would wear to a party to be really obvious.

It was a big moment, and the guy in dark green fucked it up. The spectator is not amused.

I don't think "calling the race" means what you think it means.

Are you in North America? Their toilets don't flush as well.

Ah I see, looks like it's mainly egg whites with other additives.

I'm trying to learn more, but it says "egg substitute" on the label? Also says fat free which means it can't be egg yolks.

Vanilla WoW's is (was?) quadratic rather than exponential (experience per level increases linearly), but the rate of increase increased between 30 and 40.
