    What KFC, McDonalds etc. produce are not chips, and would not be referred to as such in the UK. Polite Britons would refer to them as 'fries' or 'french fries'.

    @horace said in College Rankings: @jon-nyc said in College Rankings: @horace said in College Rankings: Righteousness begets violence. That is its purpose as an emotion, that is why it was selectively advantageous. People need to be sane and civil to form stable societies, but they also need to have a destructive, bloodthirsty mode. That is what righteousness is. A certain objective* thinker you know has phrased it as "violence is hypermoralism". No need for a neologism like "hypermoralism", unless one wants to pose. I even say it in French in my head while writing it.

    I think the same force comes into play on Earth as well. The Earth is a bit deformed, and the tendency is for mass to move towards the equator (lots of other forces at play - so it's not super clean).

    @jolly said in Meanwhile, in the U.K....: bemoaning the fact that subsidies were going to be severely curtailed for many U.K. farm products. Maybe they can use the much-vaunted gazillions of dollars they saved leaving the EU, because that's where the subsidies came from.

    Ring up the Wuhan Batboys, I'm sure they owe Joe a favor...Maybe they conjure up another pandemic for him. Nice if they provide a vaccine this time, though...
