  • Not defending Israel in any way here, they are 100% genociding Palestinians and seem to be trying to bring about the end times.
    And I do recognize that there are different types of bullets within any given caliber (hollow point, FMJ, bare lead) but what analysis can determine the bullet was specifically “Israeli military-grade” ?
    Is there something specific the Israeli military requires for their bullets that is distinguishingly different than any other military-grade ammunition?
    If you mixed up just the bullet, not the whole cartridge but just the projectile, with bullets of the same caliber from the US military, Russian military, Israeli military, Turkish military, Finnish military, or really any industrial nation military… Is there any way to tell the difference?



  • I know one anecdote doesn’t invalid proper scientific research but … erections and even orgasm is not impossible on MDMA. I (a guy) have definitely had a bunch of sex on MDMA, not always to completion but sometimes.

    The paper you linked states this at the end of the introduction, emphasis mine:

    The phenomenological features of the psychological state induced by MDMA ** show some similarities** with features of the post-orgasmic state.

    Here, we ** present the hypothesis ** that the impairment of sexual parameters after MDMA may be mediated by increased prolactin."







  • Heat pumps absolutely do not need to connect indoors and outdoors, every fridge and freezer is just a heat pump connected to a box.

    Ive had a ventless heat pump clothes dryer, about 5 years ago, maybe 6. Technically it made the room it was in slightly colder while it ran, but that heat from my house was just concentrated inside the box and then allowed to escape back into my house.

    I also think there have been advances in heat pump technology either with the refrigerant used to transfer the heat or with cascading systems that run multiple loops with different heat capacity so that one loop takes room temp water to “warm” temps and a secondary loop takes the “warm” water to hot.


  • That’s not how inflation works. “Worth” is a pretty variable term, “buying power” is typically a better description.
    Think of it like this, using somewhat made up numbers. In the 50s you could get a cup of coffee for 10 cents from a diner. That same cup of coffee in 2025 costs like 2.50 dollars. Is the coffee “worth” more in 2025? No, it’s the same 8oz cup of coffee but the money has less buying power









  • We have two cats, a void and a grump. The voids full name is Robert but he goes by Bob, my wife calls him “little kitty” because he was a tiny kitten when we got him, I call him “you fat fuck” because he got up to 19 lbs before we started putting him on a diet (14 lbs now)

    The grumps full name is Norman (as in Norman Bates, serial killer) but he goes by Norm (as in not normal), my wife calls him Normie and I call him “shut up you” because he’s constantly crying about something
