It’s tough.

The companies aren’t “hip” or “cool”

I believe the industry term is “agile”.

Works the other way around as well. When I was a teen, I though Rage Against The Machine’s “Killing in the Name” was asking where their sneakers are.

And now you do what they told ya

Ey Mann, wo issen mein Turnschuh?

“Dude, where is my sneaker (just one of the pair)”

Don’t push alpha to production, silly.

There is also an event Magikarp that knows Hydropump.

Sea lions have retractable nipples. Let that sink in.

Best thing Obama did was pulling out of Iraq, finally leaving an illegal war, so hats off for that. But all his talk about envisioning a world free of nuclear weapons and then not even attempting disarmament of the US ones kinda seems weak.

Mammals use boob-juice to raise their offspring. That’s why they are called that.

As opposed to e.g. birds that don’t use boob-juice and instead elect to vomit in their offspring’s ingestion orifices.

So autism and depression have a lot in common as I gather.

You would do well in Finland.

The light from other stars travelled much farther until you blocked it with your retinas. Sun needs to grow some thicker skin.

Most Roman thermae featured a caldarium, which was like a hot steam sauna and the really fancy ones even had a laconicum which was kinda like a hot, dry sauna.

He did divulge the location afterwards.

“People think that when you’re mentally ill, you can’t think straight, which is insulting,” she told the Guardian.

So much this. I’ve had so many people tell me that when I tell them that I don’t see a way into the future and I want them to leave me the fuck alone, it actually means that I want more help. No, you donkey, it doesn’t. It means leave me alone.

Bonus points when they are coming up with “ideas for my future” that are just genuinely unappealing to me and are then livid when I say no. Do they really think that going on a vacation or changing my job was not something I already thought about and discarded because I know it would not help? Nah, I’m ill, so I also must be stupid. “You always just say no. I am trying to help and you always just say no.” Thanks for realizing that you are not helping me but just want to feel good about yourself.

bing itself is unusable tho. I get a full page of “sponsored links” before any tentatively relevant search result pop up. DDG at least removes the sponsored bullshit.

I can’t afford fresh Basil leaves, I maintained a plant in my kitchen in some of the apartments I lived in. The current one doesn’t have enough sun. It took 10 minutes of work to arrange and emptying left over water.

The basil plants you buy in grocery stores are designed to die after a while. It’s not lack of sun or water, it’s because there are just way too many plants in the tiny pot and basil does not like to be root-bound. They basically strangle themselves to death.

You can easily propagate the plant through cuttings or you can separate the grown plants and re-pot them in smaller groups.

Genomic imprinting says no. It wouldn’t produce a fetus that is in congruence with the possibility of life. It could at most start growing and developing, but it would die in the womb. More akin to a tumor than to a baby.

This is called parthenogenesis and is a known phenomenon, albeit rare in vertebrates. Some species, like the New Mexico whiptail, rely on it (all New Mexico whiptails are female).

Here is a paper from 2007 that talks about parthenogenesis in hammerhead sharks..

The reason we cook meat is not that we would otherwise be unable to process the nutrients, it’s to save ourselves from getting worms and parasites. In contrast to humans, wild animals are often infested with them and if they knew how to make fire and cook, I’m sure your cat would do barbecues as well because it’s just better to not get sick.

Did they ever fight tho? I imagine that the muskrat would chicken out. Zuckerberg is much younger, much fitter and actually has some martial arts training, so he would have mopped the floor with him and I’m not sure if it would fit into Musk’s self-image to allow that to become reality.
