TET: The 200th Ride

[Dacarbatia]

Speaking of which, feel free to arrest me for the wrong opinion - I’ve never exactly gotten spam. It always seemed to me like the platonic ideal of the discarded chunks of flesh picked away from the animal carcass used to make burger patties and sausages. However, I’ve only eaten it two times throughout my life. Spam-eaters of TET, how would you best recommend I absorb some tinned bacon?

Spam musubi is popular, though I personally don’t see the hype.

I personally sometimes put them in my omelettes.

Spam musubi got the hype for being helpful because some people are struggling to find actual food, perhaps they are scrce or even when most common foods are expensive.

Also, while i do crave on spam musubi, i don't think i can eat the nori.

Apparently John Adams (2nd Potus for you unAmericans) named his dog Satan.

It was actually Santa, but, his biographer was infamously dyslexic. When he realized his mistake, he exclaimed, "Oh, dear Dog."

Well, that leads me to ask another question, of which points to what I believe is the single greatest flaw of all spam - why not just bacon?

Like NATO, spam was created and popularised as a temporary solution. It was invented in 1937 as a cheap, easily produced alternative to pork products. During WW2, meat expired easily aboard supply ships, which lead to its “golden age” - being used to fill up the bellies of soldiers on the Pacific Front. It was meant to be a cold, sterile, infinitely insufficient reminder of home in an environment where every moment could lead to your death. Nothing more, nothing less.

There's one meat byproduct that's best by far.

Schmaltz?

I already see Christmas decorations, as such is tradition.

A lot of people here don't really get into the Halloween spirit as much. I do appreciate the effort though, even if it is just a simple spider web with a spider.

I should give beans the ripple effect

They tasted a bit different, though.

As a Filipino, in which the Philippines celebrates Christmas early, I've only seen Halloween decorations during October 31 or even before or after October 31. Christmas decorations are a lot common and i can probably see why, but at least the Halloween decorations will eventually arrive in my neighborhood on the eve of the 31st.

Typically around September or October, there will slowly be Christmas deco along with Halloween.

Then come 1st Nov, those Christmas trees must be up, up, up!

.... And then come after Christmas, which you will then be seeing red because it's 恭喜发财，大家 ! (Gong Xi Fa Cai, everyone!)

I typically put up my Christmas decorations later in November because I don’t wan’t to see any before or during my birthday.

Who else is gonna put up a Burj-Khalifa-sized Santa blow-up, 288 packets of lights, and 10 real wood Christmas trees in their backyard alongside a snow generator?

I’m quite sure none of those exist btw

[Kernovia]

Oh, the monthly ad bots have moved in... yay... Jeez it's twelve. Im going to bed, gn.

Family tradition is the day before, or after (but never the day of) Thanksgiving.

This is the first time three non-quote posts have appeared straight since Page…

Got bored. But at least 162.

Top it all off with a gameplay of Subway Surfers and Chinese subtitles.

Welp. How is everyone?

And why exactly would I need to work out the effect of four moons on tides for homework? This is a worldbuilding project. The world I'm currently building has four moons, and since I want to add depth to it and make it more realistic, I want to figure out the effects on the tides.

What sort of homework do you guys get that makes you think this?

Huh, I suppose I'll need to find a way to distance them...

Maybe you should have said a little more about the research, like, I don't know, maybe, "I'm doing some world building for something or other and I want to have this planet have four moons and I was wondering what effect that would have on the tides" (only without the run-on sentence).

I see my mistake now. I'll try to be more specific in future.

The jannies are out for blood, as always.
Anyways, 4 moons is going to be difficult with an Earth-size planet, it might work better with a super-Earth (shut up, it is a real scientific term) as they’ve got more gravitational pull.

More gravitational pull with a larger planet?
Another problem with it. Agh.
The planet is actually slightly smaller than Earth, to allow for lower gravity, allowing for large creatures to gain flight.

really it depends on the distances of the moons, their electromagnetic field, and a few others things.

my current spec evo project is on a planet with 5 moons. none are as big as the earth moon though. I'm using my moons as a excuse for the spreading of microbial life. the 5 moon system produces complex, multi-directional tides and nutrient-rich upwellings + constant turbulence mixed ocean layers, spreading early life widely. it also forces coastal organisms evolve flexible sheaths and mineralized films early (precursors to later hard tissues)


there's the whole situation of magnetic fields, but I don't really know much about them.

All things aside, that sounds very interesting!

I'm good, just wanted to play football

I named my Yu-Gi-Oh! account “Gurt: Yo Man”

[Cerespasia]

75% of all joints in my body feel sore or funny and not in a good way

my legs feel painfully sore from ankle to hip

i cant walk straight normally

i have trouble standing up

i cant move my legs in extreme angles

my hands and finger also cant move normally

i miss 5 days ago when i could still walk and move normally
