Fecal matter is usually large intestine. It’s chyme in the small intestine. Some of the defining characteristics of fecal matter are things like the large amount of bacteria (up to 1/3 of its weight at exit), the color (yay bilirubin conversion), and the compaction (and simultaneously occurring dehydration). When we’re missing those things, we usually identify it as something other than feces. That means, nominally, that you don’t really have much poop until you’re well into the large intestine. Color is the weakest of those, but it is such a good indication of something going wrong if changed that I would say it is a part of anything that could be considered ‘true poop.’

Isn’t there a large time desync now?

Then we may well still need to send in the military as scabs, just on a more permanent basis, since military scabs can’t legally quit

The big difference will be that those jobs can’t be replaced as easily. ATC had quasi-analogous people in the military, and the only real match there is the VA. The issue is the amount of military doctors/nurses working in the armed forces does not compare to the civilian side. For the rest? NASA/NOAA/FDA have one-if-not-none person that may be able to substitute in.

With that thought, I’d be more than willing to place money on this being one of the thrusts of the idiotic doge. Why have national parks? Why care about food and drug quality? Healthcare for vets? Bahahaha, the money overlords care about their own supply, which they can ensure with their money. Everything there is focused solely on the peons, which have no meaning to the people pulling these strings.

I’m not even going to look at the clock right now. It’s not worth it.

Maybe I’m just too immersed in the culture of my youth, but the only ones that don’t look ‘good’ are the horse and the deer. The horse could be fixed by styling the mane, and the deer might be better with a more vertical angle.

Fuck smoking and smokers, but yeah it looks ‘cool’ to me.

I’m guessing that’s the real context behind the picture, eh? Otherwise why would you bare your feet when it is apparently cold enough to be very well bundled up?

I didn’t know Torr was deprecated… For some reason that was always the number for STP I could remember in physics.

Okay, let’s make this simple enough for you. Pictures, everybody. Pictures for the man with the mind of a sloth. Exhibit A. Exhibit B.

This is why you have to introduce the concepts of mimics or demons that have access to change shape. Otherwise the party always frees the chained up maiden in the dungeon without asking any questions. Alternatively, if there is a rogue, you don’t have to worry. They’ll try their best to convince the others that they’ll get xp for stabbing the prisoner.

I mean, supposedly some lightsabers were built in a cave. They probably used whatever was on hand, and I’m thinking screws are more common in rubbish strewn pits and rankor caves than welding machines.

But it can be done! https://media.tenor.com/3dnzk_8PqwoAAAAM/dumb-and-dumber-jim-carrey.gif

Aye, there is a large coalition of farmers that typically remind people their day doesn’t typically revolve around the time we arbitrarily set, but the sun’s presence or not. They can plan for the store to be open whenever, but working when you can see (and/or it’s not too cold/hot) is immutable.

No, think of it from the same point. On standard time, the sun would be setting at, let’s say 1642 hours. If on daylight savings time, the sun would be setting at 1742 hours.

So maybe we could do the other thing that scientists have been saying, and make school start later. Obviously just one of the things that would need to be fixed, because school is currently a glorified daycare (because both parents are working, yay) and changing the times would fuck up parents’ lives.

Well now the original premise is being changed… Don’t take away dragonrider’s potential future with tridecanonillion dollars! Sextillion is also a very fun word to say in the halls of power.

Oh, that reminds me. If I book a flight on christmas, maybe I’ll get the TSA present.

Slight myth there. It was not the intended purpose, but a sort of happy accident. The original patent stated it was a perfect, never damaging thing. See here and the reply here.

I mean, dragonrider thinks that people will have a billion dollars, and the rich will have a trillion, but dragonrider thinks that the rich will have quadrillions by that point. Maybe dragonrider will even get to start using all those idle game terms like quintillion, or decillion.

Yep, they (almost) literally wrote the book. I found their manual super useful when trying to deal with jerk articles that only post portions of their results. I don’t care that it’s “bad practice” to post raw data, it needs to become the standard.

You found the fifth? I keep having trouble with my #10s. Sneaky little buggers.
