You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.

70% was failing where I went to school.

And the site owners are free to put a label next to your name that indicates you have a history of stupidity. They're also free to collaborate with other site owners to establish a reputation score and to publish that score.

If you'd stop saying stupid shit, we'd not be in this boat.

It's not censorship when people ignore you because you have a history of spewing bullshit. The 'extremism' is just responding to your extremist bullshit.

Stop spewing bullshit and it won't bother you so much. Start actually telling the truth, based on facts, and things like this wouldn't matter or be necessary.

If people like you would stop spreading misinformation, we wouldn't consider things like this as a necessity.

This sort of thinking is a result of your antics.

It's also only ~$3200/student. It's less generous seeming when you look at that figure.

I'm pretty happy with my current toaster. It's unremarkable in any way, except it has holes that are actually large enough for bagels instead of just saying they're large enough for bagels. It works correctly - every time.

I may also just be too practical. I have nice kit for my kitchen, like knives that were obscenely priced. So, maybe I do understand a little - except I use my knives often and never eat toast. Maybe it's a bit like that?

Also, I can fit like 500 Asians in my house. I can have dedicated appliances.

Remember kids, 2/3rds of "pun" is "P U"!

Thanks for the insight. Maybe I don't do enough toasting? Also, I have an oven, among other appliances. I'm not sure why steam would make toast better - but I do sometimes make my own bread. In my head, I'm picturing moist toast. That doesn't sound appealing.

Back in the Marines, the chow hall used a toaster that was a conveyor belt device and the toast came out soggy. You'd then spread butter with effectively a basting brush because the butter sat in a steam table. Chow was usually not too bad, but the toast lacked appeal.

I'm financially independent. Unless I'm an idiot, I'll be financially secure.

I could spend that much on a toaster, but I'm not gonna. I strongly suspect that nothing will change my opinion about this, but if anyone here owns one and would like to tell me why they bought it, I promise to not make fun of them. I looked at the product online. I guess you could use it as a reflow oven? So, there's that?

I think my toaster was under $30. It can even toast bagels.

Don't trust anyone over 30 that wears black socks!

Also, this story has about 35 comments. We're so used to this shit that we no longer get outraged.

Ha! I knew they had good sniffers on 'em. Great link, thanks.

I'd have thought so, but they exist and are in abundance. I do know that pigs have good sniffers, so maybe they're smart enough to avoid the mines? Maybe they've learned the smell means going near it is a bad idea? Pigs are also pretty smart.

I have no idea if any of that translates to wild boars. I just know regular pigs are both smart and have a good sense of smell. I am definitely not a biologist and thus unqualified to opine.

One of the papers/news sites mentioned how few mutations that have been found and how it was quite a bit less than had been expected.

Radioactive Wolves, a PBS production on Nature, was the most interesting of videos that I've seen on the subject.
