Original run writers room had a math phd, chemistry phd, and comp sci phd on the team. I think that’s why any of the post cancellation seasons fail to capture the wit of the first run.

There are a subset of vegans who are very vocal an pushy about being vegan.

There are a lot people who think vegan food is just salads.

Vegans often don’t actually remember what meat tastes like. I have several very nice vegan friends. They sometimes that something tastes just like meat and you can’t tell the difference. In sorry but I can tell and vegan meat substitutes are often bad.

It’s too bad because there are a lot of tasty and satisfying vegan dishes but they are usually not trying to mimic meat. I love fried tofo or mapo tofu. I’ve never had a good tofu burger.

There are also a lot of vegans who are all or nothing. I eat meat but I also try to limit the amount. I don’t need meat at every meal. Some act like that’s the same as eating streak for the meals a day.

There is also a lot of complexity eating vegan. Just cooking for vegan friends can almost double the complexity.

I primarily limit meat because of environmental reasons. And frankly my backyard chickens are lower impact then that avocado at the store.

Legal president isn’t set until an appellate level court makes a judgment.

I did. My mobile keyboard sucks and changes things when I start a new word. I often miss it.

Simple answer is they are careful about what they say and have good lawyers that review it.

A few examples.

Calling Tom Cruise a fudge packer in the context of him being in a bathhouse could eaisly open them up to liability for calling him gay. But doing it in a fudge factory while showing him putting fudge in a box gives them a clear defense that they meant it literally.

Simmaraly telling him to come out of the closet while he is actually in a closet provides cover.

Making things so absurd that a reasonable person wouldn’t believe it and know it’s a joke also works. So having Barbara Streisand aquire an artifact that makes her into a giant robot monster works but something plausible wouldn’t.

Having Kanye open up and admit he is a gay fish is absurd enough to provide protection. However they probably couldn’t get away with him simply coming out as gay.

Of course the genius of south park is they use these legal protections in ways that make the story funnier and not just for cover.

It’s a hot mess. Or it was 10 years when I was last forced to use it.

I remember there was one setting I needed to adjust from time to time. However the menu tree it was in had been removed leaving it a orphaned tree. So you couldn’t get to it through the ui. The only way to get to the setting was to go to a unrelated page in the documentation and click on the goto link in it. That would launch the menu that otherwise didn’t exist. From there you could back up and get into the menu to adjust the setting.

I’ll add that the sun is a 3rd generation star which are the stars that have planets with lots of heavy atoms like iron and other important to complex chemistry atoms. The sun is thought one of the eariler such stars.

Combine that with it being highly probable that light speed really is the upper limit for the universe. So we are among the first planets likely to be able to support life and and all the others are very far away.

So we are probably among the first batch of life in the galaxy and all the other life is likely very far away. It’s not surprising we haven’t seen any signs of it even though there is probably a fair amount of it out there.

NASA let’s anybody have that. the only classified stuff NASA does is some payloads.

If it had succeeded, Space One would have been the first private company to put a rocket into orbit.>

Love or hate them space X was already the first private company to put a rocket in orbit.

Not quite. Some is lost in magnetic flux and mechanical deformation. But that is a VERY small about.

Banana peels were used as a visual euphemism for dog shit for so long people stopped realizing they were a euphemism.

They classified encryption as a munition so now they can just classify journalists as a tank. Problem solved.
