Once, during the jeopardy Masters tournament, they prompted "The bubbly type of Alka-Seltzer can contain sodium or potassium bicarbonate, both types of this neutralizer"

Jennings didn't accept "Base" or "buffer" when looking for "Antacid"

They overturned the ruling after the break and eventually credited both answers

This is the most incredible article I've ever. EVER. Read.

This will change the world, so long as the word gets out and Big Pharma doesn't somehow force the government to crack down on it and stop people from accessing the materials they need to make their own meds.

Cool. Give the writers freedom with their craft and I'll give it a chance.

From the trees in the background casting shadows in a different direction than the foreground subjects, I love the implication that the sun is only like 3-4 times farther from the background trees as the background trees are from the foreground

Legos aren't single-use plastic though. Not all plastic is bad, just the plastic that gets thrown away after geing used once.

Legos aren't breaking down and polluting the environment just by sitting on a shelf in a nerd's display case

You can make out "Rev 9.1" if you squint real hard, too

I think I know what you mean. It's like the Internet has allowed us to share how fucked up each and every corner of the world is and it aggregates the worst of it and puts it on full display. So now I can't really feel anything when I see headlines as awful as this, I just turn into an unfeeling psychopath. Luckily my moral brain and my feeling brain are different, and the moral brain still wants to do something about this injustice, however I can.
