I see you're a man of culture as well.

For European cuisine, I like replacing salt with anchovies as they are basically just salt with benefits.

Have you ever tried cooking your own Jamaican Jerk marinade? Pimento, chili, garlic, onions, thyme and ginger, nutmeg, cloves plus soy sauce. And since that is supposed to cook for hours... your kitchen will smell lovely for days.

To anyone downvoting me:

You rightly despise the perpetrator and his actions, but if you advocate vigilante justice, you are showing just as little respect for the law and all the rules of human coexistence as he did. You should all be ashamed.

Yes, the bastard who assaulted her child deserved death.

No, you can't take justice into your own hands, because vigilante justice means the negation of all civilizational achievements and the rule of law.

It's purely emotional, irrational thinking, solely serves the purpose of giving a weak mind an easy way to feel better about bad things that happen.

My mind doesn't work that way, I can't auto suggest myself out of logic - and to me, that kind of thinking is what is fundamentally wrong about this world. It makes people susceptible to all kinds of intellectual dishonesty.

If you can lie yourself into believing obvious bullshit just because it's comfortable, you will also be easily influenced by liars, charlatans and demagogues.

I highly doubt that people like Trump would be possible In a predominantly atheist society with people who are used to scientific scepticism.

There's a complete absence of evidence for everything you can just make up.

I claim that the universe was created by Ralph the Wonderllama who lives on Proxima Centauri B and who owns all albums by Simply Red.

But hey, no evidence of absence, right? So my claim is valid, right? And you suddenly don't care how unlikely it is, right?

Yeah. "This violent tornado missed my home so close! Oh thank you, god!"

Noone ever asks why their god created the tornado in the first place. Not even the neighbor whose house has been obliterated. He's probably thanking god for being alive. It's bizarre.

I know there's Godwin's Law. And yes, I always tried very hard not to bring up Hitler and not to compare Trump with him.

But as a historically inclined German I would like to point out that I simply cannot help but constantly find parallels between Trump / magaworld and the Nazis.

They keep hating on a small, completely innocent and harmless minority. They threaten their lives. It is truly shocking to me.

To anyone who still says "No, you can't compare Trump to Hitler", I say: Look at this list and tell me Trump isn't a vile, disgusting demagogue.

The only difference to Hitler being (thank fuck!) he's not hellbent on waging war on the entire world.

People only bring up this argument to distract from the fact that their real motivation is primitive revenge.

Well well well.

Suppose a normal violin has strings of ~33cm length. The E-string would have a frequency of ~660 Hz. Let's shrink that down to tardigrade dimensions (according to Google, it's about 400μm).

I'm just going to assume the tardigrade violin has a string length of 60μm.

The frequency of strings also depends on tensile stress and mass density - let's just assume that these scale proportionally.

So we can use the formula: f∝1/L (basically means, half the size means double the frequency).

Let's calculate the scale factor s for the frequency:

L(real) = 330mm, f(real) = 660 Hz L(tardi) = 60μm.

s = L(real) / L(tardi) = 0.33 / 6 * 10⁻⁵ = 5500.

This means that the frequency of the tardigrade E-string would be:

f(tardi) = f(real) * s = f(real) * 5500 = 660Hz * 5500 = 3,630,000Hz = 3.63 megahertz, which is 181.5 times above than the human limit of 20kHz.

Difference in octaves... log2(3.63 Mhz / 660 Hz) = 15.7

That means the tardigade E-string is almost 16 octaves above the human one.

Yeah, that's the kind of toxic family that one should cut off as soon as possible.

More like "I'm ultra right, but I can't admit that in public because so I desperately need to win over Germany's working class for my war plans, I even used the word socialism in our party name and we intentionally make our posters similar to those of the communists".
