Mendel’s experiments are a lot easier to recreate on your own than Darwin’s observations at Galapagos. And that’s what good science is all about.

You can do it yourself and see it firsthand. You can breed plants and artificially select the traits you want to see in future generations.

Add more color. Paint your walls if you’re allowed to.

Add stuff. Plants, furniture, art on the walls, and rugs. Bare rooms feel bigger.

A little bit of survivorship bias there, but you are correct that engineers throughout history have been just as smart as engineers today.

Human beings are social creatures, and being able to connect with one another is one of the best parts about the internet. But the internet’s incessant need to streamline and optimize how I connect with friends by sending me notifications the moment they’re active on TikTok, posting new stories on Instagram, or liking the same video as me is has turned those real friendships into supervised ones and that fucking sucks.

This author is making a mountain out of a molehill. There are other ways to interact on social media that aren’t just sharing memes and posts (and I’m pretty sure you can pause suggested content on Instagram anyway). You can have an actual conversation with somebody, an algorithm can’t “beat you to it” or “rob you of the opportunity” or whatever.

Or just call them up and hang out with them in the meat space if you’re so concerned.

If it were socially acceptable, I wouldn’t have any reason not to use it.

As for how I feel about it being taboo now, it’s whatever. It’s just a natural consequence of how language shifts and evolves over time.

I think you’ll find that most countries worth emigrating to are expensive and hard to get into, much moreso than the US.

Stay and fight for it. Because what happens if and when shit goes south wherever your new home is? Just keep running?

Going to the UK in the fall, first time going to Europe, I’m pretty excited.

You will never ever get in trouble for simply possessing GBC ROMs

You left out some important context, that she followed that up with “you people are next.”

A group of people related by blood and/or marriage.

More broadly, any group of related things depending on the context.

It could be anything, as long as your recipient has the cipher for your code. If they don’t, then you better hope they’re really good decrypters.

If you get the chance, I highly recommend it.

Here in Chicago we enjoy a thin crust with Italian beef and hot giardiniera.

Soup!

Get a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store, that’s a few meals right there. Throw the bones into a pot with a few aromatics, simmer for a couple hours, now you have homemade chicken stock which is a good base for just about any soup.

Summer. The best activities: dining on patios and drinking in beer gardens, camping and hiking, going for long walks, and lots more. Long days. Heat doesn’t bother me, and if it ever does I have A/C.

If I had this land, I’d grow food.
