Messed with my chair a fair bit. In terms of getting value for money, building one would probably not be so great. The parts add up quickly, so you usually won’t end up paying less to build than to buy. Best bet is to look for a thrift shop find and maybe upgrade/repair over time.

The most annoying part is how often you go to look for a chair you liked and find out they don’t make it anymore.

It’s hard to get a good number there. Most nutritional measures are by volume or mass, rather than grain count, and the number of grains in a cup or kilo is variable based on type, (un)processed, etc. One site I found says 7k~10k per cup, which would be ~37k/kg. Nutritional calculations are complicated by the conversion from uncooked to cooked because rice usually expands as you cook it, so 1 cup uncooked is fewer grains than uncooked, but nutritional data is usually for cooked foods. Looks like maybe cooking expands the rice by about 3x. Then there are questions regarding what the necessary amount would be. A cup of cooked is ~200 calories. A standard estimate for number of calories needed, ignoring nutrition, is ~2k. Rough guess?
10c cooked rice = 3.33c uncooked = 23k~33k grains

I’ve written some scripts on my phone with a software keyboard. Some CSS tweaking as well. I wouldn’t want to do anything complex, though.

Do not share advertising. Mocking is sharing, not stopping. The only attention we need tp pay to advertising is blocking its presentation and banning its production.

Being Superman in particular. There are plenty of ‘superheroes’ who are far less scrupulous.

Technically possible, but the probability that everything on earth except humans won the coinflip would be infinitesimal.

Other way around.

There’s a fucked up comedy sketch in there, somewhere.

You know the only visible difference between someone who truly enjoys their solitude and someone who is lonely but making the best of it? You see the lonely one.

The contemplative is too busy with their efforts to talk to others most of the time, and when they do talk to others it’s about the work, not the solitude. The solitude is unremarkable, a side effect of the work.

Oh, my god. That woman engulfed a baby like a python and then Thanos saved it.

That’s another part I don’t remember seeing. Why didn’t half the trees ash away in the forest? What about things where there’s no good line between where ‘one’ ends and ‘another’ begins like fungal mycelium? Since all humans are composed of living cells, shouldn’t half of the cells die?

How many pink rangers have there been at this point? So many sentai shows in Japan, so many generations of Power Rangers in the US. Probably more I don’t even know about. Have we broken 100 yet?

Congratulations?

It’s not just for old people. Anyone old enough to have a beloved piece of media can be targeted through nostalgia. You think Disney was going for ‘old people’ when they made all those direct to VHS sequels? Every stand-alone sequel to any original piece of media is a gimmick to milk your nostalgia, even if the original is only from a year ago.

Nostalgia needs to be returned to its original status as a form of mental illness.
