feel lost without their units

As the full saying goes, the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb. Soldiers being through shit and wanting to stick together afterwards is a trait as old as warfare itself.

Why are you wanting them to give him a tasty treat?

Some time in Leavenworth to contemplate his actions would be better.

This was the civilian court's decision. Now that it's over they'll face the military court.

Yeah, this is what gives me the cold sweats. Enlisted guys being conservative and following the Republican line to the extreme? Not a damn surprise there, been that way as long as I remember. Officers, especially upper ranks, being that way enlisted guys are? That's scary.

But are they hiring the right modders?

They owe them quite a lot...

It's a problem of scale. Places like Threads and X are too large to do any real moderation as we think of it. Hell, Reddit only barely manages it with unpaid volunteers and that is highly uneven in its results. The sheer volume and speed of posting on those platforms would make it an absolute nightmare to try to do.

Actually, not fluff. From an article on this in the NYT

Also last year, about 30 public school students in Clovis, N.M., experienced health issues after eating the chip, KOB-TV of Albuquerque reported. As a preventive measure, the Huerfano School District in Colorado banned the chips, according to a post on its Facebook page.

In a 2020 study, researchers at the University of Mississippi Medical Center detailed the “serious complications” that can result from eating the Carolina Reaper pepper, noting that a 15-year-old boy had suffered an acute cerebellar stroke two days after eating one on a dare. The Carolina Reaper has been measured at more than two million Scoville heat units, the scale used to measure how hot peppers are. The Naga Viper has been measured at just under 1.4 million Scoville units. Jalapeño peppers are typically rated at between 2,000 and 8,000 units.

What other recourse do you suggest? That we ban people from suing when an organization or some members thereof know or have been made aware that another member is doing something wrong but does nothing to stop them? If you dig a little deeper, you'd find that the rapist had been accused of sexually assaulting students time and again over seven years, but the school district did nothing, despite a state law that mandated they inform the authorities.

I'm less for term limits and more for age limits. At some point between 65-72 they get booted off the bench.

Honestly, though, it is unlikely either term limits or age limits would prevent shitstains like Thomas and Alito from being on the bench. They've been there and been shitstains this whole time. Now they're enjoying an uncontested majority that agrees with them, that's all that has really changed.

Not necessarily. Meadows has already filed an appeal with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. If you think Meadows is going to stop anywhere short of his buddies on the Supreme Court, you're kidding yourself.

I have no doubt the conservative bloc will uphold the restriction. Thomas and Alito are determined to do as much damage to this country as they can before they die. The rest of the conservative justices are down to go along for the ride. That's my take after this year's rulings so far.

Whelp, whole list of people who can get fucked and whose work I will not be patronizing.

No CLR! It will pit the aluminum. I wouldn't bother with the water chamber, that's just what aluminum looks like after the aluminum oxide builds up. 2 or 3 uses and it will look the same. If you need to descale, white vinegar or citric acid used sparingly should do the trick. Otherwise just take steel wool to it.

Looking at the pictures closer, it looks like the stem has some greenish tarnish in it, so a good scrub and maybe some vinegar or citric acid would be in order.

I find incentivizing rape a bit out there. Rape is a crime of violence usually perpetrated with no thought to whether or not their would be a child. This is more nefarious. It continues to erode women's self autonomy with the end goal to eventually reduce them to little more than breeding stock.

In doing some research, I found that there have been quite a few people reporting stomacheaches and being hospitalized from previous years of the chip. There's also been a case of 15 year old dying from a stroke caused by the Carolina Reaper pepper. I hate to say it, but I think that maybe we're taking these peppers too far to the point that they are becoming hazardous to our health.

The NYT has additional information that may add context.

Harris Wolobah is not the first child who has sought medical care after eating the chip. School officials in California and Texas told the “Today” show website last year that students had been taken to the hospital after eating one.

Also last year, about 30 public school students in Clovis, N.M., experienced health issues after eating the chip, KOB-TV of Albuquerque reported. As a preventive measure, the Huerfano School District in Colorado banned the chips, according to a post on its Facebook page.

The Naga Viper has been measured at just under 1.4 million Scoville units. Jalapeño peppers are typically rated at between 2,000 and 8,000 units.

But that has not stopped the curious.

Colin Mansfield of Beaumont, Calif., and his nephew Cole Roe, 15, ate the chip together over FaceTime and Mr. Mansfield shared the video on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. Mr. Mansfield, who makes his own hot sauce, said that it was like a “really spicy curry” and that the heat began to wear off after about 10 minutes. (His nephew, he said, needed a drink after 30 seconds.)

But that’s when another side effect kicked in for both of them: a crippling stomachache.

“I was on the floor, in a fetal position,” Mr. Mansfield said, adding that he wouldn’t have eaten the chip had he known that it would feel as if “somebody put you on the ground and kicked you in the stomach.”

Devin McClain and Jade Dian, who live in Houston, said they had also experienced stomach pains after recording themselves eating the chip — and then chasing it with water, milk and ice cream — for their YouTube channel.

“It was instant pain,” Ms. Dian said. “The milk was not helping, the ice cream was not helping.”

Mr. McClain said that even after the intensity of the heat had faded in his mouth, he could still feel it in his body.

“You could feel it spread; that’s the worst part, honestly,” he said.

Clearly the stomachache response is not unheard of. In addition, stomach distress can be a symptom of anaphylaxis. I have to wonder if it's people with very, very mild allergies to capsaicin and the amount and strength in these peppers are pushing it into extreme allergic reaction. One thing that gets me wondering is that nothing listed in the ingredients, to my admittedly limit knowledge, should turn your tongue blue. So how are they achieving that, what ingredient is not listed? When trying to find out through Googling it, I found even more cases of people getting hospitalized because of the chip, especially teenagers, in previous years.

Not really. The people who need to see and believe the evidence will never see it and will deny that it is anything but lies.
