  • I think in their crazy world, the north pole is at the center of the earth disk and Antarctica is actually an ice wall around the perimeter that keeps the water on the disk. Therefore, Africa and Australia are on opposite sides of the disk (like left-right not heads-tails) or are near the out perimeter and no one would build a cable going across that long of a distance.

    If that makes your brain hurt because of the stupidity, that’s because it is. Flat earthers are only good as the target of a joke because we can all agree that it’s stupid. There are some entertaining videos on YouTube of people making fun of them, or of themselves proving themselves wrong.




  • Yeah, and stop having sex and listening to rock and role.

    That’s a solution that just isn’t going to work. We as a society need to plan for using more and more energy. Therefore, we need to create cleaner and cleaner ways to generate that energy. If solar can be implemented until we scale up fission, that’s great. We can then rely on fission for a few hundred years until we get to fusion.

    People will complain about the dangers of fission only while they ignore the dangers of fossil fuels and aren’t required to use them. As soon as fossil fuels start running out, then fission isn’t going to sound so bad. Frankly, it shouldn’t sound bad now.











  • When a fraud department calls you, you don’t need to provide any more information than your name and yes/no answers. If they are asking for any additional information, tell them that you don’t trust their authenticity and that you’ll call the number on the credit card. A legitimate agent will politely end the conversation there.

    Then you better call that number on the card quickly.


  • It’ll be great to have more stories from that universe, but why that storyline? There just isn’t a way to make it compelling. We already know that all of the characters live until old age and the only one who dies is Aang, but not because of any conflicts.

    At best they will be able to do a coming of (adult) age drama, but coming of age stories were already well covered by both of the series.

    In a universe that has literally hundreds of super heroes, most of which have legends attached to them, why not tell some of those stories?



  • If you want a stroganoff, go for a mushroom version then, which means get rid of the olives and tomatoes. Add a little Dijon for acid and flavor.

    You keep saying vegetarian, but the context implies vegan. What is your goal? If only vegetarian, then add some cream or butter. Adding cheese changes it from traditional stroganoff to generic American casserole, which can be delicious.

    Right now I’d say your recipe is half way between a mushroom casserole and a chili. Those don’t sound like good combination. Pick one and commit in that direction. Also, using canned and frozen veggies in an instant pot is going to result in some very mushy food without their distinct flavors. You might want to opt for the fresh versions of some things, namely onions and mushrooms.
