  • Lots of plastics can't take the high heat. They melt or warp.

    Jump

  • The one that no longer exists where banana flavoured candy derives its flavor from.

    That's actually a myth. See Wikipedia.

    The Gros Michel has a higher concentration of isoamyl acetate, the ester commonly used for "banana" food flavoring, than the Cavendish.[12] This higher concentration is responsible for the myth that banana flavoring was based on the Gros Michel, but artificial banana flavor was not based on any specific cultivar.

    Here's a longer piece on just that subject.

  • With Heinlein, fantasizing.

    The man who folded himself is a time travel story, too. Every time the guy travels to the same time, there's another one of him there, with bigger or smaller age differences. It gets pretty twisted in parts when he's living with his other selves.

  • I wasn't able to go, but my buddy did. He and I are both mid-60s, and he said the vast majority of people were our age or older. This is southern California.

  • How do you discover new communities?

    Jump

  • Unlike Reddit, Lemmy is small enough that you can browse by New/All and it's a reasonable amount of time to scroll back through a day's worth of posts. I do that now and then, and if I see a post in a community I like, I'll subscribe to it.

    I originally figured I'd do that for a while, then I'd just browse by Subscribed, but I find what I mostly do is browse by Top of however long it's been since I was last on. Like if it's been around 24 hours, I'll browse by Top Day.

  • People who don't like math, why?

    Jump

  • Absolutely

  • People who don't like math, why?

    Jump

  • This comes off like a person who has no empathy, or who assumes everyone else thinks like they do. When I was in college, I tutored math to middle school kids, and I can say with certainty that some people's brains take to it more naturally than others. You can be very smart and still struggle with math.

    And putting that aside, "enjoyment" is inherently subjective. It's like saying most people would enjoy liver and onions if they had it cooked right. No, some people will and some people won't. It's okay - people are a diverse lot and it's fine if some people don't like what you like.

  • No keys to anyone else's place. Car key is a little odd: the hotel has mandatory valet parking, so I don't have the key when I leave the room, or if I go for a walk. If I drive someplace, the valet hands me the key when they bring the car, so I do have one, but it's not something I make sure I have when I leave.

  • It's funny, for years my list was keys, wallet, and phone, and of those it's the keys that go back the furthest. I had a key to my parents house when I was a young teen, and I've always carried keys with me since (I'm in my 60s now). I sold my house a couple months ago, and I've been living in a hotel until I close on a condo, and it feels so strange not to own any keys now, just the key card for the hotel.

  • Here's the one conspiracy theory that always sticks with me because it explains everything. Putin's number one goal for decades has been to destabilize the United States. That's why Russian troll farms have posted things supporting both sides of decisive issues for ages. He doesn't care about the issue, just that Americans fight over them. Trump has been mixed up with the Russian Mafia since his real estate days, and Putin has a lot of dirt on him. Since becoming president, Trump has appointed people most likely to disrupt or destroy the organizations they're in charge of. The person who wants to get rid of the department of education gets put in charge of it. The person who doesn't believe in science and who believes junk conspiracy theories, gets appointed health and human services. Many more examples. The goal is to make the government fall apart.

    So in that context, Hegseth doing this works either way. If he gets the military brass to fall in line and go against the Constitution, Putin wins. If he tries and the military brass goes against the commander in chief, Putin still wins. The goal is destabilizing the country and taking down the government.
