Useless Facts

Frying an egg in a white ceramic coated pan presents certain challenges.

 

People (especially doctors) used to put posies in the noses of the masks they wore around the time of the plague, in the belief that the disease was carried by scent (as well as to limit odours). Turns out they weren't all that far off the mark, as the disease was airborne.

 

Like chiselling the egg out afterwards because the non-stick claims were fraudulent. The Kyocera pans bond instantly and permanently to any food that touches their surfaces when heated

 

If it says non-stick, I can make it stick.
Virtually indestructible, I can break it.

But yeah I don't fry eggs in a ceramic pan (or ceramic lined pan),
good old steel or aluminum for me thanks.

 

I can't even write a response to this, cos I'm in tears.

 

Just buy him cast-iron and a sandblaster for Christmas.

 

According to a silly pop up ad on yahoo, more people today live without electricity, than when the lightbulb was first invented. Approximately 1.1 billion people.

 

Think you've gotta be mad to voluntarily give up doughnuts. Having said that, when did I last buy any? Might have to rectify that soon.

 

Job opportunity me thinks. There must be a company somewhere who is looking for someone to test their product claims, surely.

 

Not anywhere that I have seen. Though I might be able to invent such a thing.

 



 

From xkcd:

 

Harvard accepts 8.9% of applicants, Walmart accepts 2.6%. Now which is more exclusive and more impressive to have on a resume?

 

I am going to say Harvard, cause they have been around longer and are not global.

 

Cookie monster's real name is Sid.

 

Not only that, but they don't have nearly the amount of people overall applying. And with Wal-mart, they give you money to show up there everyday rather than the other way around.

@Lifeline ?

 

Without seeing the waveforms it's a little hard to guess but based on what the article says they look like, and that the 'interviewed' scientists are reputable (I know (of) all of them in one capacity or another), I'd say a slow slip event is plausible. It's a type of resonance that gets triggered either by slow stress release (solid-solid) or by different states of aggregations (movement against each other).

But they are not new. They've been studied since a lot of years. Hello, sensational press

 

Ya know what is interesting?

That the real you inside that meat puppet with calcium carbonate
structural support, is that fatty organ with ocular orbitals sitting on
top of the whole mess. The rest is just for show. So at the end of the
day, the real you happens to be a few pounds of matter with many
strings milling about in a puppet doing things that it simply lacks
the limbs for.
And yet is seems to be far more entertained by the physical visualization
of the other meat puppets, while being the goofiest looking thing hidden
in a biological mason jar.
We humans are funny creatures at the end of the day, and nature has a
strange sense of humor when it cooked us up in the evolution oven.

Neat huh?

 

Something that bugs me is that this lady:



may be as or even more attractive to her broader demographic* than this one:



*attraction in broader demographic as measured by an average penile plethysmograph response to a randomly selected series of pictures viewed by a sample group of inmates in a gender-restricted environment (prison/zoo).

 

I take it the original human female picture was alike in pose and raiment?

 

A one-yen coin weighs one gram.

Due to the rise in aluminum prices, they are minted at a loss.

 

Online reviews would probably make it obsolete. A lot of the product testing happens during the development phase by people who sign up with market research companies to receive free products in exchange for their opinion (there are a ton of scams now, unfortunately so I wouldn't sign up with one without a lot of research), and then the marketing copy is written later. My mom belonged to a market research company I was a kid, and she tested all-in-one laundry detergent packs, which took a long time to perfect. I remember the first ones being little fabric pillows that left blue stuff that looked like snot all over the clothes.

Fun fact: the city of Phoenix Arizona used to have a lot of market research companies.
