I haven't, but I live in PA, so we have scrapple which sounds pretty similar.

I'm just curious what your interpretation of yellow laces is. I'm not a punk but am vaguely aware of lace codes, and every list I see online has yellow as anti-racist, but I know it varied a bit from place to place.

I once drove through Ohio, don't remember my exact route, but came up north from Kentucky to Cincinnati, then east into Pennsylvania

There may be more boring drives out there, but I haven't made them.

Cincinnati seemed like a nice enough city though. Can't think of any particular reason I'd ever want to go back, but I didn't hate it, so that was pretty much the high point of my time in Ohio

I don't know. I'm pretty sure every high school had at least one student who would shit in a litter box just because and then brag about it

I remember maybe a year or so ago, overhearing some of my coworkers who seemed to genuinely believe that schools were installing litter boxes for alleged students that identify as cats.

These idiots will believe absolutely anything, and it doesn't need to be even remotely anchored to reality.

I take part in a lot of outdoorsy activities, there's kind of a split. Lots of conservation-minded folks like myself, and lots of assholes who don't seem to realize or care that they won't be able to go hunting, fishing, etc. if they develop over all the woodlands, poison the waterways, etc. and just want an excuse to shoot something or justify their much-larger-than-needed, lifted, coal-rolling truck.

Also a fair amount of people who don't feel particularly strongly either way.

Sales of hunting/fishing licenses and such do end up funding a lot of conservation efforts, though arguably in a lot of cases the money doesn't necessarily go where it's most needed.

The more conservation-minded folks tend to be quieter about their interests and don't make it their whole personality, they're usually not the ones posing with a deer or fish in their profile pic.

6% weight increase doesn't necessarily mean a 6% efficiency loss, it's not a simple linear relationship like that. Depending on the power of the motor and a few other factors that 6% weight increase could mean a huge hit to efficiency.

A roof only needs to be a thin piece of sheet metal, weighing somewhere in the neighborhood of 1-2lbs per square foot

Most solar panels are going to weigh somewhere in the neighborhood of 2-4lbs per square foot. So is likely the panel would weigh 2-4 times as much as just a plain metal roof, plus possibly a metal roof under it and/or additional framing to attach the panels to, so power to weight does absolutely come into play.

This chucklefuck:

“babies born with any deformities or disabilities should be shot in the forehead.”

What trump was trying to scaremonger about and claimed democrats support in the debate:

He also says execution after birth, it's execution, no longer abortion, because the baby is born, is okay

Seems he's once again confused

Has there ever been a repeat mass shooter?

I don't have hard data, but probably not. Most probably don't get the chance. If they don't kill themselves and aren't killed by police, most of them are probably facing decades if not life in prison or even execution.

At least if we're talking about the sort of "classic" mass shooting scenario where a lone wolf type walks into a soft target like a school and opens fire indiscriminately.

If you open up the definition a bit, you might find some examples, though I don't really like doing that because they really seem like different kinds of scenarios to me.

You could probably find a couple gang or mafia types who have taken part in more than one incident where multiple people were shot. Same for certain terrorist/guerilla groups and such.

The beltway sniper attacks took place over about 6 months, though most of their attacks individually wouldn't count as mass shootings

After the Boston Marathon bombing the bombers shot an MIT police officer and then later had a shootout with police. Not mass shootings, and you could probably argue that everything that followed the bombing was just an extension of the original incident.

The shootings in Maine last year might count, since they took place at 2 different locations, but again you could probably argue that it was all part of the same incident.

That's what I can think of off the top of my head. Nothing that I'd personally feel comfortable labeling as "repeat mass shooter" but they are incidents that kind of lean in that direction that show that they may not be just one-off events and that the perpetrators may try to continue if not stopped immediately.

I feel like I've also seen a few cases where it was discovered that the shooters had plans to commit other attacks. We'll probably never be able to say conclusively if they actually would have followed through with those plans if given the opportunity.

Houses also have thermostats

Also, on Earth we already have situations near the equator where there's not really a significant change in the weather from one season to the next, or near the poles where for parts of the year days are considerably longer/shorter than elsewhere on the planet, we also have people living in scorching deserts and frozen tundras, at high altitudes with thinner atmosphere, etc. and despite all that variation we don't really see major differences in how quickly children mature.

The differences could be even more profound on other planets of course.

There have also been studies where people have lived in caves or bunkers without natural light, clocks, or other cues about the time or day/night cycle, and it's been found that we stay pretty close to a 24 hour circadian rhythm (usually slightly longer actually, but within a few hours of that target,) so it seems like that's something that might be hard-coded into us. Of course those studies have been done on adults who have had decades to acclimate to a 24 hour cycle, so it's plausible that kids raised in a different environment would naturally adapt to a different cycle, but since we're probably not going to be sending unaccompanied minors to the stars, those same kids would probably be raised by adults who are used to a 24 hour schedule and would raise those children in the same schedule.

You might see some divergence from that over the years and multiple generations, but if there's a 24 hour clock present, and people decide to stick to that, I suspect that would work just fine. It would probably come down to whether it's more beneficial for people to be in sync with the rest of humanity, or to be on the local cycle. My money's on the former, since we probably aren't going to need to worry about hunting for sustenance or avoiding predators, or other such things that our circadian rhythms evolved for.

Something we can't really account for though is if different gravity would affect how quickly children mature. It will almost certainly have an effect on how they mature with differences in height and muscle/bone density, but I don't think we can really say if it will change how quickly their brains develop, when they begin puberty, etc.

There's other factors that could play a part as well of course, the composition of the atmosphere, the intensity of radiation from the star you're orbiting, diet, exercise, different mutations that could arise over the generations.
