The suffering is the point. It's got nothing to do with morals or human rights or the death penalty or abortion or "Christian values". It's all about making "those people" suffer.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I really like it

So you'd normally say "that's too much!" in which case the subject "that" is plural and countable so therefore "much" would be correct.

Otherwise you should say "you have given me too many refried beans!" since the beans are volumetric and not countable entities.

It's been a while since I've done long exposure photography and composites, but my recollection is that excessive noise is a symptom of long exposure and high ISO, and stacking multiple shorter exposures into a composite will significantly reduce the noise of the final photo.

I mean, I'm a guy, I generally just leave the seat down 99% of the time and pee without lifting it. If there's any drips or splashes I'll just wipe it up. But every time I go in to poo or pee sitting down at night I always just check to make sure the toilet is how I want it. There's no reason not to just give it a quick check.

Are these women just... How to say this delicately... Dumb? Like you walk into the bathroom facing the toilet. You can't help but see it. Are you telling me they drop their pants and just do a trust fall onto the rim? I'm guessing no. I think it's a meme and women just don't want to have to put the lid up before going.

Same in VA, but if you buy a 6 pack to go, you cannot crack one open if you decide to stay, it may only be consumed off-site. Some won't even give you the beer until you have already closed your tab and are on the way out.

I mean, I'm sure there's a statistic that someone can look up but as many people as are on the planet, I feel like there would always be someone within shouting distance if not closer. I guess it really depends on how fast the earth is moving and what the frame of reference is.

Similarly, ranch powdered baked pork chops are super delicious. Get the thin sliced ones if you can find them

I really doubt this info. Sake is popular in Japan and would be (or should be) categorized under wine, yet wine is at zero in southeast Asia. So either wine literally means "grape wine" or the data is fucked up.

 

I got the when travelling abroad for work in Morocco. I paid about 20 USD for them from a street vendor.

Also, I didn't realize how grungy the underside of my espresso machine looked! Going to have to do something about that.
