I’ll just leave this here.

Rhubarb crumble is legitimately delicious though.

Actually if you are on a raft with a limited amount of fresh water, you can mix in some sea water to stretch it out a bit. I think if you use a third seawater its ok, but don’t quote me on that.

People who have accidentally eaten death cap mushrooms (amanita phalloides for the autists out there) say that it’s fucking delicious (before their liver shuts down). Rabbits can eat them without problems. So if we use rabbit genes, we can crispr cas 9 our way to a good meal.

He’s suffering from frontotemporal dementia. This is relatively certain. The town hall was classic sundown syndrome. The fundamentalists know this and are going to have him removed from office shortly after the election (if he wins). The democrats would gladly take the opportunity to remove him, as would many republicans. Unfortunately that would put Vance in the oval office which should terrify anyone who doesn’t want to larp a handmaid’s tale.

As a European I find it utterly bewildering that people seriously consider voting for him. But alas I don’t get a say in it.

You think that’s bad! I just lost the game!

No shit

Thank you for the pedantry, but both tourette syndrome, tourette’s syndrom, TS, and Tourette’s are used. I forget apostrophes habitually because I’m dyslexic.

Wouldn’t it be funny if the article was written by chat GPT.

TBF, it’s kind of a non story.

Same, which is why I’m a fat fuck.

Why you trying to detransition?

The cold war is restarting. British troops are among the best in the world, but they’re poorly equipped and there aren’t enough of them to sustain more than 2 days of fighting against an army the size of Russia’s. National service partly solves the manpower issue.

Thank you, i did not know that.

Poor kitty!

Americans often refer to Europe as if it’s a country. We’re used to it.

It’s probably open later in Oslo or something but yes 7:30 to 16:30 where I live. They started reducing hours during the pandemic and then just didn’t expand them again and hoped no one would notice. It was at least open til 17:00 before that.

Academics in Norway don’t have it much better. University contracts are all time limited which makes getting a mortgage very difficult and rental accommodation is either ridiculously expensive or would be condemned in a real country. Norway’s one of those places where if you fit into the system, life is good. But if you don’t, it’s really hard.

Academics have a really hard time with it because society is designed around 2 parent families where both parent works a normal job with normal hours. If you have kids and your experiment needs to run until 17:00, you’re going to have to find someone to finish it for you because daycare, while affordable and means tested, closes at 16:30. If you need to rent, expect to pay about half your income for a shitty converted storage cellar in someone’s house. If you go on parental leave and it ends after your standard 2 year academic contract is up, you won’t have a job to go back to (the universities offer 2 year contracts because by Norwegian law anyone working the same job for 3 years has to be given a permanent contract so they rehire their staff every 2 years).

Planning for the future! Smart!
