Springtime for Hitler. Somewhat fits. It’s an intentional failure that succeeded.

Popular boondoggle is a term we used to use at work. I’ve never herd it used outside that job though.

Sunk cost fallacy is when you use previous expenditures to justify new expenditures so as not to “waste” the previous expenditure. It doesn’t imply the idea gets more popular like op is looking for.

Gums like guar and xanth. In small amounts they make ice cream better and help keep ice crystals small. I use them in my homemade ice cream.

Used in larger amounts they replace fat at the cost of taste and mouth feel. That’s what makes the ice cream stay a gel at room temp.

Honestly it’s better but still a mess of design choices. For open source graphics editor check out Krita.

Trump got about a million less votes than 4 years ago. Harris got about 15 million less. So the population didn’t swing right 15 million Biden voters said fuck it and stayed home.

Everyone said this was going to be a close race. So we can’t even use the Clinton excuse that nobody thought Trump would win.

She was a bad candidate with no message beyond Trump bad. That was enough for me but not 15 million other people.

We have a conservative party and a very conservative party.

It’s a famous quote. The contradiction is intentional. It means democracy has a lot of problems and often looks terrible. However when you step back and consider the alternatives they are worse.

It looks whole lot like a rocket. It’s almost like there is a shape that works well for the job.

In addition to what you said fiber is an important part of poop. An not just as stuff to push through the tract.

A important function of the liver is body detox. One way the liver does that is to package chemicals so they bind to fiber and get flushed out of the system. Lack of fiber can cause those chemicals to stick around and cause more problems.

Yup. I had an infestation thar took months to get rid of. Turns out they were in an old bag of dried peppers.

It’s right there in the word. deci 1/10 mate from matus to remove. It’s like expecting half price to mean 1/3 price. We use deci all the time to mean 1/10 Decileter, decimal, etc.

Common misuse of words. Decimate means reduce by 1/10 not almost completely destroy. Exponential growth. The variable has to be in the exponent if it’s a constant exponent that is polynomial growth. Gaslighting isn’t just lying. It’s making someone belive that they can’t trust their own memories or experiences so they believe you despite evidence to the contrary.

So government owned news is better?

Yup Goya is a product I’ll never buy again.

Yup my niece was born at Arnold Palmer and my wife had surgery at Winnie.

They could reuse the SRB but the cost to refurbish them was like 90% of a new one. So it wasn’t terribly useful.

That’s probably the best way to read it.

Naked Lunch. It’s a dark strange read but it suck with me.

The book is better but the movie was pretty good.
