Not even close.

I see serrations/combo blades on a knife and I just want to vomit.

The Challenger disaster and the Ford Pinto both involved vehicles bursting into flames.

Actually very different.

Container garden. I even had one on my North facing balcony in Baltimore.

I was going to say…

What is not pictured is the USB storage being recognized.

but other areas it would be illegal to ignore invasive plants and not remove them.

I’ve never been in a park or area where you, as an individual, were legally liable for not removing invasive species.

That being said, I did get in trouble for having thistle in my yard, but there was a specific city ordinance against thistle, and not against invasives as a whole (otherwise most of the fucking neighborhood would be torn up, which TBH would be great.)

By your reasoning nobody learns anything before they go to university?

Absolutely not what I said. Please re-read my comment.

Because in what other educational environment you would read multiple books’ worth of information about a single subject…

Yeah… You definitely did not understand what I wrote. Read it again and see if you still feel the same way.

Reading can be part of learning, but just reading Wikipedia is not. If you want to learn something, you need to invest the time in it to understand not just the words, but the context of that information, you need to be able to apply what you have read, and make use of it, even if that use is purely academic.

For instance, you can read about the American civil war on Wikipedia, but a history teacher would not say that you learned the history of the American civil war. You would need to read multiple books on the situation before the war, during the war, and after the war, along with exploring the relevant technologies available at the time. You’d also want to look into primary sources like the diaries of some of the major leadership on both sides of the conflict, and review maps of battle sites and troop movements with time and dates, maybe even go visit some of the major battle sites, and at that point, you could say you’ve learned the history of the American civil war.

Same thing for space. You can read the Wikipedia article on space, but you can’t claim that you learned about space from that. You’d need to look at other sources, rely on previous education you’ve had in school, maybe make some observations of space on your own, watch interviews of astronauts and astronomers, and then you can start to say that you’re learning about space.

Learning takes an investment from you. Simply reading the material is not learning, you need to interact with it.

I hated chemistry in school, because it was teaching us irrelevant shit like the electron structure of atoms.

It’s only unimportant because you don’t care. Reading random facts on Wikipedia isn’t learning, it’s just reading. You can read the Wikipedia page on juggling, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juggling) but I wouldn’t expect you to understand (much less, perform) a 3 ball cascade, reverse cascade and waterfall after just reading the page. Those are very basic juggling patterns and fundamentals to more advanced patterns, such as juggler’s tennis, mills mess, boston mess etc… and that’s the difference between learning, and reading.

Not ripping on going on a Wikipedia dive here, it’s one of my favorite things to do, but recognize that it’s not the same as learning

Supposedly, that is the whole deal with the Chilean Sea Bass that he gloats about. Spared no expense. Apparently that fish sounds fancy, but is actually super cheap. The whole park needed to have the shine of a top-of-the-line facility, but in the end, Ingen and Hammond had no idea what they were really cooking up.

The raptors for instance, I always got the feeling that paddock was kind of small and rapidly constructed. Those things had killed multiple people in the past, and the park’s response was cram them into a jail cell. You’d think an intelligent, dangerous animal, that was not part of the tour or experience would be euthanized, rather than risk the whole park…but here is Ingen not dealing with the problem, and instead, actively making more raptors.

Magic rope - an animated rope that can be commanded to levitate and tie knots. When placed in any container, pouch or pocket, it immediately gets tangled up and take 1d6 minutes per 5ft of rope to untangle. Other objects in the container also become tangled with the rope, and take 1d6 minutes to remove individually, entangled objects are released immediately when the entire rope is untangled.

Magic rope is unable to be cut by any non-magical item.

Mine was…

“There’s still room in hell for your sorry carcass”

“Look on the bright side kid… You get to keep all the money.”

To be fair to Von Braun, he did have slaves build his rockets.

Darkvision limited to 60ft. Nighttime navigation was based on stars.

A ship can barely contain enough ale to last a dwarf a month, let alone an entire crew…

This reminds me of Bender putting his arms back on.

On the flip side, I had partial nail removal on two toes each side, and haven’t had any issues in 20 years. Procedure was quick, mostly painless, and the relief was immediate. I was playing soccer 3 days later.

If you want to ask about a full removal, go for it, but be open to professional advice.

Devils Advocate here…

Hypothetically she is right. Making elevated levels of antibodies long after a vaccination or exposure may not be normal…

Now on the flip side, other things that aren’t normal. Air conditioning, 99% of children surviving past their first birthday, solar panels. Just because something isn’t “normal” doesn’t mean that it is bad.

It could also be that we’re being constantly exposed to COVID in 2025 since we failed to contain or eradicate it, and the population never got up to herd-immunity level vaccination rates. Which would explain why the immune system is still making spike protein antigens.

I’m also doubtful about the levels of spike protein antibodies she is claiming, I’d bet that there isn’t a peer reviewed article that supports that claim.

If you pay a University enough money, they’ll give you any title or degree you want.

Case in point, Trump has an economics degree from Wharton.

First one, then the other.
