Isn't going from a sauna to cold water and back bad for the heart? I worked with a French-Finnish guy for a while who told me half his family are on heart medication because of it.

TIL, I guess. I always thought it was spelled with an 'A' too.

talking about weird internet personalities like chrischan or the tile patterns guy

Oh my god, there's fuckery on the internet?! I'm out of the loop on the tile patterns guy. What happened?

Czechia is where I learned to love it, but I found it in Austria, Germany and the Netherlands as well.

Ellen Ripley. Under pressure she steps up and does what needs doing. Whether that means operating a loader, comforting a child or making monsters extinct.

Pilsner Urquel is a damn fine beer.

I've had one. The only pain I felt was the needle prick for the anaesthetic and then later sore jaws from having to hold them open for an hour.

Using a wingsuit is just fancy falling.

Paintball with 20-somethings. I expected someone to shoot me in the arse from five feet away for a laugh, I didn't think they'd be on my team.

Honestly, I don't know what's supposed to be fun about cave diving. Like, normal diving doesn't push your buttons any more so the next logical step is to go diving in a grave?

Extinction. Our technology gives us the power of gods, but we still have the brains of hunter-gatherers optimised for living in tribes of less than 150 people. My own death doesn't worry me, I'm not bothered by knowing I'll be forgotten, but the possibility that there might not be anyone to carry on is what I think about at 3 AM when I can't sleep.

Where do your avos come from? The ones I have access to are sad little things that won't accommodate a whole egg.

Is soja sauce the same as soy sauce? Google seems conflicted about it.

Seems like a pretty reasonable course for a farmer to take. Livestock don't have clocks, after all.

Well, I'm sold. We should definitely turn everything off and wait for the hypothetical reactor to materialise.

Catcher In The Rye was assigned reading for me in school at 15. All I saw was a character impulsively making his own life harder and harder.

You forgot to mention how wacky Stargate was. Remote viewing, death by telekinesis, 'psychic hugs'...

If they're charging for access, they're now a business. I'd consider if I want to be a customer and if not, no further donations.

Clearly pretty comfortable with you.

So what are you saying, that we should give up on other technologies? Two years before your microreactor is demonstrated?
