I wonder how difficult it would be to have a "read only" version of kbin that replaces the full version when things go wrong or maintenance is being done. I'm sure there are other technical solutions, just one thought.
It surprises me that it is possible for capsaicin to kill someone. Maybe it is something else or a combination of things but I await further evidence.
I do like to eat spicy but I top out somewhere around habaneros. It would be good to know if the peppers might kill me. I already think I'm pretty careful with them, but I'll be more so if there's real danger.
Unfortunate for this kid. Best wishes to his family.
I was really getting sick of all the negativity on Reddit. It feels like about 80% of posts are shitting on someone for some reason that I don't really care about. Feels like a bunch of bitchy teenage girls all trying to rain on each others parade. I hope they all choke on their own social vomit.
So glad there seems to be NONE of that energy here. I hope it never arrives.
Other random thoughts/observations:
I appreciate that kbin/fediverse is more mature and academic.
I like Star Trek much more than Star Wars and see plenty of ST and no SW here.
While I appreciate that Reddit has more smaller and special interest communities because of it's size, I like that kbin is smaller. I think it will be a little sad to see it get big.
I plan to stay here for a while. I may host a mag or two eventually. I have ideas for improvements but as a non app user it seems pretty good so far.
Also, thanks to Ernest (sp?) and others who keep the lights on and motors running. You make it all possible.
