There are varying degrees of food additives, some benign, some harmful, some beneficial. If you are really concerned then learn to cook from scratch or raw ingredients. You’ll know more about what goes into your food.

When humans decide to do what has never been done. We make discoveries. Keep pushing your personal envelope by doing things you’ve never done before and see what happens.

Going to space was so awesome. Doing things humanity has never done before opened up so many things and gave us so many technologies, it changed society. Space exploration is the ultimate pushing of the envelope.

If you work for a large corporation, the shipping and receiving department usually has plenty of boxes.

Reply to comment by marmorset in TIL that in the period of time since the introduction of the consumer price index, the highest inflation rate observed in the U.S. was 20.49% in 1917. by ringopendragon

I wish more people understood this point. The government has changed how it calculates the CPI and I believe things like rent are not on the list. So, if I’m right, rents going up does nothing to inflation. That’s fucked

Reply to TIL Tolkien assisted on the Oxford Dictionary's first edition, focused on 'W' words waggle to warlock. He "learned more in those two years than in any other"; and certain etymologies continued to puzzle him for years, with many pages of notes written later on 'walrus' for a lecture at Leeds by PianoCharged

An amazing wordsmith who I thank profusely for providing access to such an incredible world called Middle Earth.

It used to be much closer. What an awesome sight that must have been seeing it so close.

I had a similar experience with a gaming buddy. We both didn’t realize it until will took a video of us playing. It was uncanny how we moved together even when we couldn’t see each other.
