From PYF Dangerous chemicals/etc, talking about how and why metals taste the way they do, or don't.Deteriorata posted:Try chewing on some aluminum foil. You'll taste it (particularly if you have any metal dental work. Someone tried it Basically, when you bite on foil, you set up a battery in your mouth and the electrical current stimulates nerve endings in your tooth. Here is what happens: pressure from biting brings two dissimilar metals (aluminum foil, mercury in fillings or gold in crowns) in contact in a moist, salty environment (saliva) the two metals have an electrochemical potential difference or voltage across them electrons flow from the foil into the tooth (i.e. electrical current) the current gets conducted into the tooth's root, usually by the filling or crown the current sets off a nerve impulse in the root's nerve the nerve impulse is sent to the brain the brain interprets the impulse as pain

In the abortion thread someone was posting their workout routine over and over again in the middle of a heated debate. It was beautiful.

I can never tell if the actual intent of this is to hit the fish or not, but either way, it's seriously impressive.

They're only meant to return if you miss, and if you miss, why are you hunting with a Boomerang. Don't think they're intended for fishing, though.

It's not a foul since he doesn't officially 'deliver' the ball (let it go) and as such was never an attempt to score. As far as the rules are concerned, he's just walking around like an idiot at some time well before he takes his shot. quote:Legal Delivery He's actually doing the right thing by aborting the shot.

Is this a real person, or is this some middle-aged republican trying to write some sort of satire? Because I have a hard time believing someone would genuinely say "Bernie was my career plan".

I'm a left-leaning liberal in godless gay-marrying Massachusetts and I can't help but laugh at this drama queen. I really do wonder what the lead up is to people getting so deeply into debt. Is a combo of out-of-touch parents ("You'll get a job in pay it off in no time!") and predatory schools/lending programs? I consider myself lucky that I have financially savvy parents and got a fair amount of financial aid to boot but if backstories like this guy's are common then I'm even luckier than I thought.

sudonim posted:I'm a left-leaning liberal in godless gay-marrying Massachusetts and I can't help but laugh at this drama queen. 1. High-school diplomas used to mean you were functionally literate, able to do basic math, and could play well enough with others to make it ti 18 without dropping out or winding up in prison, and were therefore basically a prerequisite for basic employment. 2. High-school diplomas are now frequently worthless and are no guarantee of any of that. 3. College diplomas are now the "you meet the basic requirements for employability" certification. 4. Loans for college are readily available, underwritten by the Federal government, and cannot be discharged by bankruptcy (the only other form of debt like that is debt incurred as part of a criminal enterprise). So you have everybody telling kids "If you want a good job you need to go to college," a big portion of everyone saying "If you go to college you'll get a good job," the pool of money chasing college educations is effectively limitless, and there are no factors encouraging universities to control tuition costs. It's actually pretty much the opposite; since student loans expose the lender to no risk, there's every incentive to increase those costs. So tuition soars at multiple times the rate of inflation, people take on more and more debt just to graduate with a B.A. in some generic liberal art, and then find that oh, poo poo, there's no job they can get that will let them pay off that debt in a reasonable period of time. It'd be schadenfreude if it weren't such a racket aimed at extracting what little wealth the middle class still has.

sudonim posted:I really do wonder what the lead up is to people getting so deeply into debt. If you can't afford the bill, the government offers you a shitton of money in the form of a loan that you'll totally forget you have as soon as you cash your refund check. Hell, most universities practically demand that you fill out a FAFSA (Federal Application For Student Aid) as part of the application process, and doing so is what allows them to make the oh-so-sweet offer in the first place. Interest is deferred while you're in school and the application process and acceptance of the cash are all done digitally. You're just a few clicks away from having your tuition and fees paid and even getting some some beer money every year you're there. When you're that young, you don't realize that you're actually making a huge financial decision that could potentially stick with you for the rest of your life--all you know is "I don't owe anything right now" and "I will get a fat check in less than two weeks gently caress yeaaaaaaaa" The schools have no incentive to advise you against taking the loans and in fact every reason to convince you to take them, for reasons covered by Phanatic earlier. So you end up with some bullshit degree you can't do anything with (political science), finally see the loan totals after you graduate, and think gee I should go back to school so I can get a better job so I can afford to pay them back. Grad school is a good idea, right? Surely a master's degree will get me a killer job! Never mind that it's eighty billion times more expensive than my previous degree--the government says it'll loan me the cash. No problem. Well gently caress that was a bust, can't do poo poo with an M.A. in poli sci, but I can defer my loans if I go back to school for a different degree so I can pay these loans...
