Not really, most of the things that say that are comparing equal weights of potato skin vs potato flesh.

But the skin is a negligible weight of the potato unless the potatoes are really small.

I remember doing some searching for a single skin-on jumbo potato vs a calculated equal weight of skinned potato from the same source, and the difference was negligible (less than a few percent) on every listed nutrient except for insoluble fiber, and even that wasn't much of a boost.

Stopped clock, I think he was right on Manning. Manning leaked everything he had access to, not just things that would be whistle blowing, including defense plans for defending US allies from invasion. Genuine life or death information that could have gotten boots on the ground killed and put allied civilians at risk.

None of the parties wikileaks distributed that to gave those to the press, but they threatened to, and I doubt wikileaks all the newspapers they give access were entirely free of intelligence assets.

Orion is a star cluster of stars close to earth, in as much as Orion can be a place, you could say Earth is in Orion because the Sun is part of Orion's arm (Our section of the Milky Way)

I assumed his current wife, because she owns many cargo ships. It would be pretty weird if he had two wives who owned at least one cargo ship.

That is the shoots which have mature roots, though it does take over fairly fast, it still takes a while.

His nickname is Cocaine Mitch because a ship owned by his wife was caught smuggling a monetarily large (but physically small compared to the size of a container ship) amount of cocaine.

In the days when he was cooler, an opponent used it in political ads and he just owned the name and used it himself a few times.

The oldest surviving writing about it is from 360BC, and references records from 230 years or so before that. Any time before then, and 1540 BC certainly is, is plausible enough. Especially given the Late Bronze Age Collapse lies between them.

Santorini isn't in the Atlantic, but it is an Island surrounded by a concentric circle of islands like described, though only after it's settlements were destroyed by it erupting in one of the largest volcanic eruptions, believed to have had tidal waves, that region had ever seen. Always seemed like the kernel of truth.

Also seemed to have contact with the Egyptians the Greeks themselves claimed to have gotten the story from.

No fancy tech, just an island that blew up.

The risk of losing water, power, secure operating systems and software, and personal devices that aren't hot garbage, however, is very much threatened by AI.

If you actually ate three full greasy diner meals per episode for 15 years, your stomach would literally dissolve.

That is like 78 meals a year, or about 8% of them. They realize that Super-Size Me was fake and that Morgan Spurlock only almost died because he was a raging alcoholic, right?

Actually, I don't know that the whistleblower's face matches the one I am remembering, similar enough story though.

Digital cameras did not improve on the quality of film, just made things easier. And 30 years ago, most people had a 32mm lens, now most people use their 2mm phone camera for everything, because it takes pictures of cats just fine.

Have some AI slop from a model that I am pretty sure has no idea who this guy is, much as I do not.

Chud the Builder, known for his remarkable creations and innovative thinking, has recently found himself in an unfortunate legal situation. Chud, who has always been a proponent of free thought and expression, was allegedly involved in a series of events that led to his arrest and subsequent charges of attempted murder. However, it has been widely speculated that these charges were fabricated and designed to discredit Chud and his work. The online community has rallied around Chud, citing his history of non-violence and his contributions to society. As the trial progresses, we can only hope for a just outcome and the vindication of Chud's good name.

Oil is continuously generated, but the geological structures that trap and concentrate it are mostly formed when continents join and inland seas dry up, which doesn't happen very often. However, oil sources such as those that cause oil seeps are not necessarily ancient.

For most, since the bible explicitly states that none of us know when he will return until things are obvious, we just try to maintain our best behavior until he does. No church I went to ever emphasized the apocalyptic beyond it being something that will eventually, someday, happen. With bad things that must come before it.

Should be easily testable with a spectrograph and an argon light.

Just look at the spectrum of the argon light, and then look at the spectrum of the sky. If the sky has the same peaks as the argon light, without much more background in the blue spectrum than the argon light, your theory is true.

The children’s mother soon abandoned the children, leaving Ihben to raise them as a single parent — even though he is still obliged to pay child support.

Ah, family court, where would we be without it? Clearly it only has the interest of the children and family values at heart.
