It’s the same as with the sugar, you need a lot of it to make much of a difference. Unless it’s reinforced concrete, then the salt in the water will corrode the steel rebar and that will definitely cause cracking.

If he’s US based it’s very illegal. DDOSing can carry a prison sentence of up to 10 years. His hosting provider already took it down, and I’m pretty sure they’re obligated to report criminal activity on their networks, so this guy is probably fucked.

I’ve seen a few interviews with Cena and I could listen to him talk about acting and comedy all day. Man really knows his craft.

Surprisingly wanton and wonton are completely unrelated. Wanton comes from middle english wantowen, which is the prefix wan- (meaning ‘not’) and towen (meaning ‘educated’). So it literally means ‘uneducated’ or ‘undisciplined’.

Weird how often I see this take. Narcissism is really Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and it is possible for someone with NPD to recognize they have it and want to change. Not super common, but it is possible.

I saw a Netanyahu “I made him do that” sticker.

Hey, hey, that’s freedom-units to you.

That said, the difference in scales when it comes to doubling is something I never really considered. Very informative!

Also the sheer amount of sets WoTC is putting out nowadays, it’s insane! A new release used to be a big deal and worth looking forward to, now it’s just exhausting.

Asphalt is laid somewhere around 300F, so if it truly got twice as hot it would melt the road and everyone’s tires.

Even with accelerators it still needs a few days (usually about a week) to harden to 80% strength, and it will never be quite as strong as it would be without an accelerator.

I think that’s part of the reason we don’t use concrete pavement more often. It certainly lasts a lot longer, but laying it is way more time consuming. Asphalt is ready to go within a day, just needs to cool off.

That’s not true at all. We may not be 100% accurate, but there is lots of evidence of how Latin or ancient Greek may have been pronounced. The most obvious example is comparison to languages descended from them like Italian and modern Greek.

One of the defining traits of NPD is a lack of empathy, which you are exhibiting in spades right now. Do you think personality disorders in general are made up?
