Cooks know thyself! If you're not the kind of cook who makes stock, having a bunch of chicken wing tips in the freezer will not make you the kind of cook who makes stock. It'll just make you into the kind of cook who stores your leftovers before you toss them.

I'm getting really sick of the "conventional wisdom" that government is inefficient and wasteful when compared to private industry. Medicare for example can provide more healthcare per dollar than any private insurer despite subsidizing that industry.
Profit and marketing are inefficiencies because they add cost but no value.
Remember that movie where in the future all restaurants were Taco Bell? Well the real future, all public services are police.
Keeping up with tech =/= knowing candy crush exists
We should tell them that excess C02 in the air is associated with lower testosterone and causes guns to jam.
I'm forever amused by people opposed to silly comic book nonsense like this because it's unrealistic or breaks in-universe logic.
People who can be credulous about laser swords but get upset when someone uses a hyperdrive as a torpedo are like religious people who ignore 3/4 of the stuff from their faith but get real militant about the three rules they care about.
Israel is an apartheid pseudo-democracy who resembles her neighbors Syria and Jordan in governance more than the US and Europe.
I was going to make a point about how this persisted into peace-time and we shouldn't forget when the fighting stops, but there has been no peace since 1947 because colonization is violence.
That woman has handled more steroids than the whole cast of "The Expendables".
You can use physical objects like dice or lava lamps that will naturally form random distribution when we check. But Newton and others would argue that even this was a determinant problem and if you had perfect knowledge of the dice and a good physics theory, you could predict the outcome.
We can only recognize randomness by the patterns it leaves behind.
The philosophical truth is that we don't know if "randomness" is an actual phenomena or just a bucket where we put outcomes we haven't learned to predict yet. A sort of randomness of the gap. Some have suggested that as a pattern-recognizing machine, the human mind simply can't conceive randomness. Even the way "randomness" is verified is by looking at the distribution in the outcome and see if it matches the pattern we expect.
I think this should be the standard for all gun usage. You must have a licensed armorer present before anyone can handle a firearm.
Think it's funny? The entire American Film industry has only lost three people to firearms accidents. Anybody using firearms in law enforcement, military, or even just privately should be embarrassed by their pitiful attempts at safety culture.
Preservation is an invasive and destructive process. Recreating the experience of watching 'The Daily Show' in the 90s or early '00s is already impossible. Language and culture mildew and rot just like leather and wood.
EDIT: People don't seem to understand what I'm talking about. Even the people who are responding in good faith seem confused. That's on me. So I thought I'd try to clarify with an example.
Take the Mona Lisa. Perhaps one of the most preserved objects in history. It's so well preserved that it's impossible to see. Sure, you can look at it, but you won't see it. Taking a picture of the painting is encouraged, but you can't get a look at it in your camera roll either.
If you saw the actual painting hanging on a friend's wall, your first thought would probably not be "what a masterpiece", but "why didn't they remove the default print that came with the frame"? If you go to Paris, you can wait in line to have the "Mona Lisa experience" but the painting you saw wasn't hanging on the wall, what you'll see is the Mona Lisa you brought with you.
(yes, I stole this example from 'were in hell' youtube channel)
