    I use it in my 50cc motor scooter since it's got a barely 1 gallon tank that lasts me ~2 weeks a fill, so the price difference is negligible

    I figured the higher octane would make a noticeable difference since it's such a small engine

    But reading this thread I'm now thinking maybe I shouldn't do this?

    air fryers are just a rebranding of convection ovens, which are awesome. I don't care what it's called, cooking with circulated hot air is really useful

    the joke answer is "go touch grass" but let's be honest it's not always because they're incel types (though my guess is that's usually it)

    assorted thoughts:

    • most people have at least mild mental health problems and that often makes it hard to connect with people in a healthy way. i fall directly and pathetically into this category myself
    • fuckin capitalism profits from isolating people and dissolving community infrastructure that traditionally facilitated dating
    • it's way easier to think about how hard it is to interact with potential dates and all the things that could go wrong, than it is to think about all the times you've successfully interacted with humans (with dating intentions or otherwise) and it turned out fine or even fantastic. even worse, we're wired to remember negative experiences with more detail. all my horrible awkward attempts at flirting are chiseled in fuckin marble in my memory, while the times i was normal AND lucky enough for it to be reciprocated, i barely remember in comparison. :[

    i wonder how much of the Empathy for Cute Animals but Not Humans effect is due to not many people having bad experiences with cute animals but plenty of bad experiences with humans

    I, however, have the unique privilege of having had a sister who owned a deranged rabbit that she let roam the house. I once woke up from a nap to it biting me hard enough to draw blood. That thing was a furry asshole.

    What little unrepressed memories of Watership Down I have seem to corroborate that rabbits are surprisingly violent...

    How could SI units be derived from scratch without the use of modern technology?

    Think "you wake up in the woods naked," [Dr. Stone](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Stone)-style tech reset. How could humans acquire a 1-gram weight, a centimeter ruler, an HH:MM:SS timekeeping device, etc. starting with natural resources? My best guess was something involving calibrating a mercury thermometer (after spending years developing glassblowing and finding mercury, lol) using boiling water at sea level to mark 100 ° C and then maybe [Fahrenheit's dumb ice ammonium chloride brine](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit) to mark -17.7778 ° C, then figuring out how far apart they should be in millimeters on the thermometer (er, somehow). I can already think of several confounding variables with that though, most notably atmospheric pressure. I feel like the most important thing to get would be a length measurement since you can then get a 1 gram mass from a cubic centimeter of distilled water. That's as far as I got with this thought experiment before deciding to ask the internet. I actually asked on Reddit a while back but never got any responses.
