Umami is the fifth flavor. This paper is about the sixth, which doesn't seem to have a name other than "ammonium chloride".

It is not normal to behave aggressively towards someone, get within range to hit them, and then repeatedly close in when the other person tries to backs away. It is not normal for cis people and it is not normal for trans people.

When someone does those things, it generally signals they intend to start a fight.

F35s have transponders, just like every other aircraft that flies in the US. They are necessary to avoid mid-air collisions. When flying a stealth mission in enemy airspace, they can turn the transponders off.

Unfortunately, the transponder on this particular F35 is not working.

Voice actors have a union.

Designers and engineers generally don't. Yet.

I certainly do not understand what concept of fucking justice that is related to.

This concept of justice:

higher scores will be given to projects that are likely to retain collective bargaining agreements and/or those that have an existing high-quality, high-wage hourly production workforce, such as applicants that currently pay top quartile wages in their industry.

We as just observers on the internet

George Orwell:

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Nitrogen hypoxia is a risk wherever liquid nitrogen is used. If too much boils too fast, it will displace the oxygen in the room. People in the room won't even realize what happened until they pass out and die shortly thereafter.

There are reports of people rushing in to rescue those who passed out, and suddenly passing out themselves and needing to be rescued as well. That's how insidious it is. And that's why MRI scanners (which use liquid nitrogen) have oxygen sensors in the room. You can't trust your own body to tell you that all the oxygen is gone.

Those are just nicknames people use because the real names are long and boring.

"Fannie Mae" is actually the Federal National Mortgage Association (aka FNMA). "Freddie Mac" is actually the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.

Like they said: Vendors, organizers, and everyone else that might've benefited from having international music acts in Malaysia.

And protests aren't about scoring points. They are about flexing muscle, about reminding everyone that inaction has consequences.

On this logic, I'm looking forward to laws that criminalize buying firearms because they "manifest an intent to commit murder".

Checkmate, SCOTUS!

It doesn't take much for the WHO to classify something as a possible carcinogen.

Aspartame is now in the same risk category as cell phones, kimchee, and carpentry. And still considered less carcinogenic than meat, fried foods, hot beverages, and working a night shift.
