is the conveyor belt/aiplane thing just a matter of people arguing past each other and not defining the stakes of the question?
like, if the conveyor belt is actually capable of keeping the airplane stationary than it can't take off, but also no conveyor belt could do that. is that the whole debate? or am i missing something
Look, I really don't give a shit about the rest of this thread, but goddam it's been several hours and I can't get this fish thing out of my head. I'm not sure I have an opinion, much less an argument, but my brain went "Could a fish swim in snow?" and now I haven't stopped trying to puzzle it out.
I...Think it depends on the size of the fish and the depth of the snow?
No. Snow is compressible whereas water is not. Pushing the snow away from the fishs fins would not create a vacuum strong enough to replace the medium.

Probably not. Half the people think the conveyor belt could not impart force on the plane because the wheels move. The other half think that the plane pushes with its wheels. The proper answer is as above, the question is probably nonsensical; proposing a trio of things (frictionless wheels, no wind(and positive thrust), a conveyor belt that matches speed with the wheels) which cannot coexist.
Totally unrelated, but everyone here uses the pool of ketchup method of dipping fries? I mean, it would be silly to squirt ketchup haphazardly all over the fries, and then eat them that way. Completely ridiculous.
Pool of ketchup, salt the ketchup instead of the fries. I will accept Tabasco on the fry-mass as variable quantities of spice distribution keep fries interesting.
I'm always fascinated by the toilet paper roll argument. Do you hang it sheet out or sheet flush with the wall?
I prefer salting (and peppering) the fries, because sometimes, I'll feel like a fry with no ketchup. Or adjusting the amount of ketchup. Or eating half of the fry with ketchup, and the other half without.
What... what is the McNugget problem? It's the same number of McNuggets for 5 fewer cents. Is there some question about the quality of McNuggets in different box sizes??

Toilet roll facing has a logical and illogical orientation tho...

Chili: beans or no?
Toilet roll facing
Martini: gin or vodka?
Perhaps the dumbest one I have argued is the proper way to fold a towel... with my whole family... for some years........
Eh, eh, eh, Gin. A martini with vodka isn't really a martini. Vodka is not for liquor forward drinks but drinks which need a dilution base that isn't flavored.
Me, reading this thread aloud: chili with beans...
Belasco: oh now that's a serious argument
Me: yes it is ... toilet roll facing...
Bel: that is trivial.
Me: hey, I have a strong fucking opinion about that!
Her: ... *sigh* I know...
I thought we weren't allowed to have another Democratic primary thread...
But for real it's .9999etc = 1. I can prove it to 8th graders, adults shouldn't be too stupid to figure it out.
A better question is whether .9999 repeating is technically even a number. I suppose you could define it as an infinite series of sums instead, which I guess would still work for the equality.

Toilet paper roll sits on top of the spool so you can hold it with one hand and pull with the other.

also tipping has an obvious solution.
Raise the price of every meal on average by 20%, pass that raise on to all currently tip-required workers in the form of an aberage salary increase and bar tipping altogether.
A waiter at a fancy steakhouse who really has to know their craft should be making high 5 figures a year without having to deal with the whole tipping nonsense, and people working tables at an applebees making 17.50/hr is much better than the inconsistency of working a lunch shift and maybe going home with 20 bucks because humans are monsters when given free will.

I once had someone try to argue that there is only one video game genre and it's RPG. All games are Role Playing Games because in all games you play some sort of role.

I mean, eventually they'd fuck up the snow because the vacuum wouldn't replace the medium, but I don't think that shows that they can't push against it and move.
(I see crayfish perform swimming behavior (it's.. not how other animals swim though) through buckets of ice, so I'm not actually sure of the answer. I suspect that the increased resistance would be a big problem, though.)

but how can i reinforce the master-slave relationship inherent to capitalism in a degrading fashion on a deeply personal level?

I demand to have the manager scan things for me, so I can glance dismissively and classistly at the cashier.

I believe it is pointless but too incendiary. Much like circumcision.
Cilantro vs coriander tho......
Well, it's pretty important to some people... namely those getting tipped.
Also Turkish and Lebanese are two distinct cuisines and there is no 'proper' accompaniment to a kebab as it is defined by the preparation of the meat.
