Ramen is most commonly sold in sealed plastic bags in America. We just cook it in a pot like any other pasta. Lots of people I know don't own any kind of kettle. If they need to boil water a pot or the microwave both work just fine.

Personally, I like tea, but I also have an induction cooktop, so I just have a kettle for that. It's great. All the advantages of an electric kettle without having to put an electrical appliance by my sink.

Forced arbitration is already unenforceable in the EU, so it doesn't change anything for you. It just makes it so it works for the rest of the world the same way it already did for you.

Yeah, and using those is pretty good, but they don't really do anything you can't do just by changing settings in Firefox, and if Firefox doesn't have any users those die right along with it.

Honestly, I've kind of always wondered why they didn't just do this. It's always seemed like the obvious thing to me.

I mean, I hope it doesn't work, because screw Google, but I'm still surprised it took them this long to try it.

Distrusting the government is not the same thing as believing baseless gibberish just because it disagrees with science that has been used to inform government decisions.

That doesn't even make any sense if you stop and think about it at all. Sure, a single worker bee dying isn't a huge deal, but they all do that. It would definitely be better for the hive and the queen if they didn't rip their own guts out.

Carpenter bees are also cool. Not as fluffy as bumblebees though.

Is that really even true of emulators of old consoles? There's not a lot of new features coming out for the original PlayStation. Either way, part of the reason that SwanStation is dead is that it's not even the best libretro PS1 emulator anyway.

Okay, but bumblebees are the best though. Even fluffier than honey bees, and they almost never sting humans.

Sadly they're also one of the types of bee that's losing out in their native habitats to human supported honey bees.

I mean, if you have a shared interest in cheese this probably counts as a thoughtful act.

My source is the obvious sarcasm.

People who work together can't really do democracy. The only true democracy is the one where a small number of people order everyone around without the input of most people. Because that's what democracy means.
