@LordBritannica @hexclad @GordonRamsay "I'm a better cook than you,"

This is demonstrably not the case, given the nonsense that you are posting.

"and I've cooked for far longer you have, probably since before you were born,"

Ageism isn't really the flex that you seem to think that it is. @LordBritannica @hexclad @GordonRamsay Experience tells me that, given your tone and the fact that we're on Twitter, that if you were to be tracked down, you'd turn out to be an ignorant 12 year old boy who was trying to pass himself off as a seasoned professional.

This would be far from being a first.

@Patriot22146528 @HansMahncke @julie_kelly2 @barnes_law @hyonschu @adamscrabble @C4CEO @JordanSchachtel "Yo bra ... Do you realize how many millions of folks you just pissed off?"

Yo bra ... boo hoo hoo. You don't have a right to be validated. Your anger management problems are your issue to deal with. @Patriot22146528 @HansMahncke @julie_kelly2 @barnes_law @hyonschu @adamscrabble @C4CEO @JordanSchachtel "There are millions of us but what exactly do you expect us to do?"

To speak up and call bulls h i t what it is when you see it, instead of waiting until doing so is in fashion.

"End up in prison for 2 yrs for doing nothing?"

Hmm. Don't remember doing that prison stint.

@RonaldNHughes @canmericanized @MicaSaurius Ron - speaking as an engineer-in-training: our bad, sort of. The senior citizen with health issues and immuno-compromised people in general DO need masks. The problem is that the KIND of masks that they need have not, in general, been offered. @RonaldNHughes @canmericanized @MicaSaurius The N95 was oversold in the popular press. It's a dust filter, designed to take out relatively coarse particulates in factory and construction work settings. It was never intended for medical use, and really isn't designed for it.

@sighing_sadly @gimpfactory @Gleem1313 @BanV20202 @WHOWPRO Thank you, Sigh. My reply to Gimpy follows:

Nope. Never have, and I've repeatedly been exposed to it at point blank range from people who were deliberately trying to spread it, while living in one of the most densely populated places in the US - the near north side of Chicago. @sighing_sadly @gimpfactory @Gleem1313 @BanV20202 @WHOWPRO If you've ever been to a restaurant bathroom in Chicago, then you know that the city that I used to live in isn't about to win any awards for its hygiene, or really deserve any.

@real_lselkirk @Jules31415 @elonmusk Wrong. Here's why, and you're hearing this from a former TA: failing students create drama.

(1/3) @real_lselkirk @Jules31415 @elonmusk University administrations hate seeing a lot of drama, so much so that they'll think nothing of leaning on the professors to avoid it, even when the professors are clearly in the right and the students clearly aren't.

@Fancyfreedomfry @threadreaderapp @govt_corrupt "This dude wrote a thread worth of rebuttals (even though we’re on the same side)"

No, a s s h o l e, when you lie about a group of people I belong to, dragging its name through the mud, we are NOT on the same side. YOUR issue is not the ONLY issue. @Fancyfreedomfry @threadreaderapp @govt_corrupt "then he blocked me."

What's your point? Did I not do the unroll in such a way as to guarantee that you'd be notified of my comments, and be able to read them, given that they're present in the unroll? Were you not free to ride the unroll message in order to reply?

@Fancyfreedomfry @govt_corrupt "Who among them had the courage to speak out"

Hi. I'm a PhD student in Mathematics. I've been speaking out since early 2020, starting at a time when many of today's freedom-loving "patriots" were lockdown and mandate loving herd animals. @Fancyfreedomfry @govt_corrupt With confidence, I can say that I've been pushing back against the governmental overreach as long as almost anybody, because my initial bit of civil disobedience took place during the first second of the lockdown in Illinois, the third state in the US to have one of those.

@BartonMarks @hexclad @GordonRamsay It really isn't, for reasons already given. Barton, I'm talking as somebody who has been cooking since he was little. You're talking as somebody who watched a TV show.

Do you understand the difference? @BartonMarks @hexclad @GordonRamsay It's a stupid technique, in part for the reason already given (the speed with which garlic burns), but also because if the garlic doesn't fall off the meat, it's not going to cook enough to really release the flavor.

@GideonJTrenary Gideon. Dude.

Right now, you're probably thinking that the admissions committee is a pack of humorless dweebs, which maybe they are, but even dweebs can sometimes have a point. Please bear with a graduate student as he tries to explain to you what on earth that might be. @GideonJTrenary Going to an elite university is a powerful, transformative experience that, if approached by the right person in the right frame of mind, will leave one with memories that one couldn't forget, and would never want to. But at the same time, it can be a brutal experience.

@Toni85814074 @KCPayTreeIt @damonimani @CatchUpFeed @X @elonmusk I kind of expected that this would happen, after I noticed that one couldn't view threads while logged out. @Toni85814074 @KCPayTreeIt @damonimani @CatchUpFeed @X @elonmusk In the past, when some of us would appeal lockings and suspensions and got the obligatory gaslighting from Support, a friend would link to an archived copy of the supposedly rule-breaking tweet(s) in context. This would make the admins look bad, and they'd sometimes back down.

@bsteeboiler @Denise33591120 @1500_degrees @DiedSuddenly_ This is why I've taken to blocking the Covid Cultists on sight. There is no reasoning with them. No matter how many times we hear about metastudies that show that masking was based on junk science done by unqualified "researchers," they keep doubling down

(1/3) @bsteeboiler @Denise33591120 @1500_degrees @DiedSuddenly_ on the same talking points. No matter how many times people with real backgrounds in Medicine, Physics, etc. point out that this pet theory clashed with what really was established science (eg. the laws of motion), and that it had been dreamed up by an amateur sociologist

@HarrisonGarlic1 "Porn should be illegal"

I can't support you in this. Now, please don't misunderstand. I'm not saying that porn is a good thing, or that I'm reject your arguments that Catholics (or indeed, Christians in general) should want nothing to do with it. But this is America, and

(1/2) @HarrisonGarlic1 the First Amendment is non-negotiable. There is to be no establishment of religion. Therefore, any argument for the passage of a law based on spiritual concerns is a non-starter.

The State is not an agent of Salvation. When that shortcut was tried, before, it ended badly.

@hexclad @GordonRamsay It looks pretty-ish, in a cooking magazine cover sort of way, but this is a perfect example of a bad idea about cooking that gets embedded in a lot of empty heads because of those photos, with the help of social media groupthink.

Look at the photo. What's glaringly wrong? @hexclad @GordonRamsay Bright, white garlic sitting next to and on top of a well browned cut of meat. In real life, garlic burns and turns bitter far more quickly than meat browns, when it isn't being kept moist, and no, basting it with hot cooking fat won't do that.

@Dee_Rob__ @simon4124 @CitizenFreePres "Did you see the overwhelming evidence against the 2 white murderers that killed Emmett Till a young black boy?"

And what part of the country was this in, D.?

"They were set free.. as I said we were just glad to see it happen to whites for once."

For once? @Dee_Rob__ @simon4124 @CitizenFreePres You have the b a l l s to say "for once," as if those two were the only victims of Black on White violence?

The former population of the South Side of Chicago would like to have a word with you.

@DarlingStella88 @CitizenFreePres He murdered his wife. Not a bad cop. Not even a good cop. Just the woman he swore to love and cherish.

If there are a lot of Black people who honestly can't see why that's wrong and needs to be punished, then that's a real problem, a violent civil rights issue. @DarlingStella88 @CitizenFreePres If one were to find out that a Black person living in the Reconstruction Era South had made an attempt to avoid White people, hardly anybody would think of accusing that Black person of racism, or of saying #NotAllWhiteSoutherners were violent racists who needed to be avoided.

@MidThighShorts @JGrantGlover The OP, because his pseudo-progressive neo-Puritanism wasn't being forced on everybody? @MidThighShorts @JGrantGlover This tweet might explain things.



"There's a group of three old men at this coffee shop shooting the breeze and only half listening to each other, and honestly that's all I want in life."

@JGrantGlover @paulpope2 Bewildered about what? It's not like we were being packed in like sardines in that 22% of the city. There were midrises and highrises, there, while the less dense neighborhoods were either burned out warzones, or full of single family homes. @JGrantGlover @paulpope2 If one is single, and hasn't run into a horrible landlord, or a lockdown, why is one going to want to have something as expensive and socially isolating as a home of one's own?

@JesseKellyDC Referenced in this Tucker Carlson interview.



.. @JesseKellyDC Comment re: the interview cited, above. I think that Mr. Kelly is being unrealistically optimistic in some ways. Civil war is already inevitable. The only questions, at this point, is how it can be delayed and how to minimize the death and destruction that it will create.

@roadtoserfdom3 That reminds me of the triggering events that sent a small wave of us out of my old apartment building on the near north side of Chicago, into the suburbs, never to return. @roadtoserfdom3 The building manager developed an obsession with Marie Kondo, her co-workers shared it, and they decided to force it on their lower income tenants.

@___magnifico___ @eligaultney @Astro_Wright As one reads my replies to this 🤡, here are a few points to keep in mind ...

1. However indirectly, he's basically asking me to tell him how to detect stealth aircraft, in a public forum that can be read by anybody. Including the Russians. @___magnifico___ @eligaultney @Astro_Wright How much of a traitor would I be if I obliged? I'm going to have no trouble alluding to the practice of a stealth plane "hugging the ground" (ie. flying at low altitude in order to minimize the probability of detection), because that is no secret, but ...

@AlanRLight @AlexanderPayton @Astro_Wright I wonder if he notices that he has been blocked, yet. @AlanRLight @AlexanderPayton @Astro_Wright Solar cell efficiency is under 20%, these days. This means that over 80% of that sunlight is being squandered, just by the first conversion.
