I don’t think so? If the diameter of the coin is wider than the gap between two nubs then you couldn’t fit it in. If it’s thinner than the gap, the coin wouldn’t stay in once it was between all three. That might make for a good puzzle idea but it would need some trick to work, like a detachable knob
Baking. People say it’s the science of the kitchen but those people just don’t use proper measurements when cooking. What they really mean is that it’s fiddly as fuck and even following a recipe perfectly isn’t a guaranteed success. There’s always some shit about “maybe your room temperature was off?” “what altitude did you try the recipe at?”. Fuckers. Science doesn’t burn me like this. If I follow a scientific procedure where those variables can completely destroy the end result, they get mentioned in the procedure. Baking itself is a science, but it is absolutely not practiced like a science. Baking is a skill for 99% of us. And I’m sick of pretending like it’s not.
No, read the citation. and I didn’t say known to me to be an idiot, I said known idiot, which they are based on the results of googling them. But Instead of thinking “that doesn’t sound right, better check that to make sure” I think “this follows the same pattern of other conspiracy theories and when i’ve researched them in the past they have all been misleading or false”. I’ve gone down that rabbit hole before and it always ends the same way. Professional misinformation is designed to be difficult to debunk but that doesn’t make it correct. and I’m not calling you an idiot for reading or believing it. I would suggest you dig a little deeper though, because that is at the very least a conspiracy (if true) and at worst blatantly misleading. either way, facebook is evil enough in daylight for me to wage war so I don’t really need to lie to myself to be more angry at them.
oh neat, the author (and owner of the website) has a podcast, “Whitney Webb on deep diving into Epstein, 9/11, Covid, and more” “Whitney Webb is a researcher and a proper journalist.”
Now, I hate ethos based rhetoric as much as the next guy, but I think if someone hangs a neon sign on their chest that says “im an idiot” then I can just dismiss their ideas without thoroughly debunking them. I mean, I’m certainly not wasting an afternoon and the alternative is blindly believing a wall of text written by a known idiot. So I’m kind of backed into a corner here.
I don’t identify as a republican but in my deeply red state it is a given that they will win no matter what. I know some folk that vote for the best of the R candidates. There are actually a handful of R candidates that openly identify as Dem-lite to cater to this group and they are much closer to winning seats than any of the Democrat candidates. These voters usually register as republicans in order to help push through the dem-lite candidates.
The reason I think this is relevant is because the main differences in dem-lite candidates and actual republicans is usually down to the dumbest religious issues like abortion and lgbtq+ rights. They are basically just democrats except they like guns.
