Take a close look at your USB ports and any other ports for debris. Sometimes you end up with shorts that do all sorts of weird shit. The crappy mouse might have warped the port too. It’s probably not the issue but it never hurts to check.

I did not think it was a prevailing theory. Now I’m curious about what you wanted to accomplish by asking that question. Why would it matter either way?

Oh, well that’s good to know. Thanks! I guess I need to update my own knowledge of what prevailing thought is.

The model of the solar system as planets rotating mostly within a flat plane around the sun, will become something more like the sun being akin to a bullet with a ballerina dress (to represent coronal aura and discharge) with the planets spiralling along with it but slower and trailing just a little behind. It will also include more space properties that aren’t as well known like massive gas bubbles and a non-static gravitational floor, as well as man-made spacecraft and satellites. I don’t know actually know what the current prevailing theory is. there’s a lot of assumption here, plus imagination of how I believe things actually are, with no real certainty or any supporting evidence.

Make amends with your friends,

lest they meet unfortunate ends.

everything you do matters, except all the bathroom splatters. shit.

maybe, depends on the pan and depends on the temperature depends on the ripeness of the tomatos.

i’m assuming you are not using green tomatos or cherry tomatos or some other brand.

note: i do not like tomatos at all. they give me unbelievable heartburn/acid reflux/non-spicy firebreathing/reverse montezuma’s or something equally awful.

now that you know that, i’ll also mention i’ve cooked a lot.

i suggest trying parchment paper (look for non stick kind but it might be okay otherwise) and an oven. if they aren’t too squishy, they shouldn’t stick and you can avoid the oil.

another alternative, which takes much, much longer, is using a food dehydrator. (warning: never put oil, or anything similar to oil, in a food dehydrator. it turns it into a house incinerator.) just put the tomatos in the dehydrator, turn it on, wait.

this also is how to turn jalepenos into chipotles. also poblanos into anchos. probably a bunch of other things change names when dried out too, those are the two i remember.

The kind of watch that says “please mug my rich dumb ass” is all I see. (I’ve never mugged or stole from anyone, it’s just the thought that crosses my mind.)

Kind of like the super sensitive car alarms or home alarms that have a voice that loudly announces it’s recording. “Hey, I have valuables worth protecting, just to let you know.”

podcasts, owning an automobile, twitter, following celebrities, being competitive, land ownership, having a degree versus having the knowledge the degree entails, marriage, religion, recycling (beyond that of reducing and reusing), collecting things, fashion, owning the newest of anything once it is released especially for phones and i could come up with more probably but this likely covers at least one thing people who read this are into in one way or another.

I don’t know if there is a word for what I was trying to point out.

Like an opposite to gatekeeping, sort of.

I do not like when people use ‘we’, in ways that include people that it does not apply to. Lumping everyone together inaccurately into a group.

You are right, it’s not the same thing. I had an English teacher who tossed out her vocabulary lesson one day and instead went off on a very energetic rant about critical thinking, ultimatums, game theory, dilemma, paradox and so on. I’ve always wanted to recreate her lesson but never get it right.

I do think my final line still applies for this scenario. There’s always another way. I think War Games does the same idea I was trying to convey but I’ve never seen it, I’ve only seen enough references to it, to vagely know what it’s about…

I have only tortured children as a passenger in an automobile, using flatulance and automatic window locks. I have not murdered anyone. I have never used ticktalk.

It irritates me a lot when people use ‘we’ and ‘our’ in contexts that include me, when they do not apply to me.

So to rephrase your first comment in this chain:

The american government, via israeli and other proxy and puppet armies they have created, are already torturing and murdering millions of innocent children in gaza, africa and southeast asia and unchecked capitalist corporations, both american and international, are actively enabling climate change to maintain american military dominance to serve as their shield from the people who resist; is that okay?

The answer is: No.

I have not been comfortable for a long time, figuratively and literally, long before I ever heard about gaza, since before I was considered an adult, a few weeks prior to 9/11.

I have protested in many ways since then, with several years incarcerated because of it.

I have lived an impoverished life by american standards, although not the same level of poverty as other places, by several orders of magnitude for some places.

It is the billionaire kleptocracy that is controlling the country I am trapped in, that is causing climate change. Not me, with my lack of using fossil fuels whenever I had the choice, eating locally grown as much as available, avoiding supporting the worst companies such as big oil and the process and/or fast food complex.

Sorry for the rant. Like I said, I really hate when people say ‘we’ and it includes me.

The core of the riddle is that it is an ultimatum.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimatum

Ultimatums have been debated historically, in great detail. For example, in the old testament of the bible.

https://www.bibleoutlines.com/isaiah-361-377-dont-make-a-deal-with-the-devil/

Even if one is not religious or cares not for reading biblical stuff, it is simplified effectively as such:

If given only 2 choices, it is never fair. Find another choice.

I agree that gatekeeping is no good and people should not do that.

However…

we all copy

I do not feel that assuming all people copy, should be done either, in my opinion.

If they are going to be living short lives in tortuous conditions thanks to climate change anyways, than yes. Otherwise no.

Could we maybe substitute the children with the one million richest people on the planet?

You’re already doing better than me by making this post, keep up the good work!

As someone with a lisp who tends to turn ‘s’ and ‘z’ sounds into a ‘th’ sound, i will respectfully disagree that it is a cool combination. it hurts me a little that i can’t always say words properly but i suppose i could always ask a doctor to aneththetithe me.

defenestratafenestra isn’t a real word but i use it to tell people i stopped using Windows and switched to Linux.

i feel the same way about pneumonoultramicroscopicsyllacovolcanoconiosis. it’s fun to say!

it’s not considered a real word anymore (and from what i gather, never really was a real word, in the opinion of the english nerds who decide such things) but i learned how to say it, dammit! i can’t unlearn that!

i might have even learned how to spell it correctly. i didn’t check the spelling as i wrote it in this comment but i also don’t think it matters if i incorrectly spell a word that isn’t really a word. so… yeah…

anyways, it was possibly used as a complicated version of what was known as ‘black lung’ disease, which coal miners in the appalacians contracted from inhaling silica dusts, for anyone curious.
