Of note, it's one of the only sites that is really about blogging, but with filters so you can choose who can see your stuff -- and you have almost complete control of the comment section. There's a strong culture of moderation. I

I saw a paper indicating that ethanol and isopropanol are not readily absorbed through the skin, but can enter as fumes -- enough to show up on an (overly sensitive) drug screen. I would expect methanol might be similar, although it is qu

Sorry, this seems bogus. There are a lot of ways to block Tor connections, and Tor doesn't try to make it particularly hard to identify ordinary entry nodes. That's what bridge nodes are for, if you need it.

And yet, the NY Times is threatening to do exactly that to the guy behind https://slatestarcodex.com/ We're at the point where the NYT is doxxing random bloggers. I don't think this is a good time to be relying on

It doesn't matter. Screw thread pitch isn't a continuous unit in practice, but a category. Might as well call it A, B, C, D.

Google Books is telling me I've reached my page limit, despite not having used the site in a month. Is this the story about him honing his sense of smell?

I'm also interested in the quotes about some people smelling "sweet". Does that mean they don't have a scent, or that they naturally smell good? People often act as if any body odor is bad, and I disagree -- many people

So that means this object could well have been the result of such a merger, right? I guess I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. "Oh neat, we found something in this mass gap" seems reasonable, but the "changes astron

A big chunk can jump back out at you, along the original angle of incidence. And it can really fuck up the pond's chemistry. So I endorse not throwing big chunks of alkali metal in ponds. Putting a small lump in a bucket outdoors using
