Then you probably shouldn’t search youtube for terms like “adam savage duck bomb”. :wink:

Where’s a rotisserie when you need it?

Are you sure you’d want to add a squeaky rotisserie wheel into that? I can just imagine it now…

Just when I was starting to accept I live in a world with mattress bloggers, and aerosol cheese, and $16,000 gym bags, I find out inflatable fake rotisserie chicken is being sold and therefore bought.

Either you’ve got a long wait ahead of you, or you’d best get to work: the Vulcans don’t make First Contact until we develop a working warp drive.

Right. Sounds like a crowdsourced maker project to me. I can help with prototyping and documenting, maybe some other stuff.

Step 1. Find Zafram Cochrane.
Step 2. Search New York State for Henry Archer’s parents.

I think it’s completely awesome and don’t agree with the article’s conclusions. The whole “purity” thing has been a messed-up idea from the start, and it’s only got weirder. I saw someone on Twitter the other day claiming he was superior *because" he had that little dash of Neanderthal DNA. As in, he was purer because he was more of a mix. Yeah.

Aeromexico found a great way to call people out on their shit. And it’s not like Dan Rather will object.

The idea that any advertisement is “politically neutral” is laughable.

If you can’t see the politics, it only means they mesh seamlessly with your own, or what you have accepted as “default”.

As for “purity”… Unless you are a mess of recessive traits, it’s unlikely your bloodline is pure anything (as the Neanderthal example points out, you may not even be pure human).

I can explain the Neanderthal DNA pride: it means the person is of European heritage. Africans and Asians have no Neanderthal in them, unless they also have a Euro-heritage ancestor.

edited to add: I should have said ANCIENT European white heritage. In other words, NOT a mixed heritage person (heaven forfend) the way someone from Italy or Spain might be. This is someone who can brag that they’re totally white for the past 40 generations, or whatever.

Asians will. Neanderthals were distributed in a range that covered most of the land based exits from Africa.
In fact, Han Chinese were among the first populations searched for neanderthal introgression due to the early availability of a genome from a Han Chinese person.

None of these assholes would know this, though, because they’re intellectually incurious and won’t seek out info.
