Cooking in a cast iron pan will give you even more iron.

One thing that definitely feels like "magic" is Monstrous Moonshine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monstrous_moonshine) and stuff related to the j-invariant e.g. the fact that exp(pi*sqrt(163)) is so close to an integer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heegner_number#Almost_integers_and_Ramanujan.27s_constant). I hardly understand it at all but it seems mind-blowing to me, almost in a suspicious way.

Right. The farthest people have been is the Moon, which is still gravitationally bound to the Earth. Plenty of spacecraft have been out of Earth's gravity well, and also a car, but no humans.

Oh, the first time I read this I had a completely wrong idea what it was about. I thought it was talking about like the Dalai Lama having being reincarnated or something.

That's prudent.

One time I ordered like a whole liter of silicone lube (to refill smaller containers from). I got this funny feeling from it being such a large amount of rare precious stuff, like it was a cask of fine whisky or something.

I disagree very strongly with the recommendation for only water-based for sex. Oil is much preferable for having sex for a long time, since it doesn't evaporate and dry out the way all water-based lubes do.

I personally use coconut oil and also silicone lube on occasion since it's even more powerful and long-lasting.

Latex condoms do have that warning not to use them with oils, but polyisoprene condoms + coconut oil is a combination I've used for a long time and trust very much.

Particle man, particle man

Doing the things a particle can

When he's underwater does he get wet?

Or does the water get him instead?

I mean, milk could also easily be death-free, but it's not vegan. It's also not suffering-free. So this suggestion kind of misses the point.

Despite the common name of "yardlong", the pods are actually only about half a yard long, so the subspecies name sesquipedalis (one-and-a-half-foot-long; 1.5 feet (0.50 yd)) is a more accurate approximation.

 

Hi, I hope this is the right place. I have successfully subscribed to some remote communities, but now whenever I view a remote community there's no "Subscribe" button I can click but instead just plain text saying "Subscribe", like the button is disabled or something.

Does anyone know why that's happening and what I should do to subscribe to more remote / federated communities?
