If you’re serious about this I’d suggest a few things first. Find a poly friendly couples therapist and do a few appointments. Even if your relationship is totally secure you’ll get some good things about it. Read the book Polysecure. Look for polyamory or ENM spaces online and read, chat with others. What you’re describing is more of a V relationship with your wife as the hinge, or possibly a full throuple with you and the other guy as a platonic relationship. The main thing to remember is that everyone needs to be equal, and there’s really 4 relationships in play here:

You and your wife

Him and your wife

You and him

All three of you

It’s possible to be ethical as a triad, but it’s work all the way around.

They do, but only in the sugar free variety, and at such a low dose that you need to eat at least 25 to get high… Just for shits and giggles.

William Randolph Hearst is smiling up at Tennessee from hell.

Absolutely. The machines I work on the most are XP embedded, but I’ve heard rumors that there are Linux based systems coming down the line.

I’m pretty sure there’s a Bridgeport conversation from back in the day that used a 486 PC running sysunix and an embedded controller card, but I could be mistaken.

Embedded controllers, especially in manufacturing. I work on machines that use basically an embedded Pentium 1 and a custom kernel. I know of some CNC machines running on 486 that still receive software updates but I don’t know what the OS is based on.

Ok. I didn’t argue against any of what you said, just gave my reasons for using the label that I do. I have met trans/NB exclusionary bisexuals, and that turned me off to using that label for myself. If other people use bisexual to describe themselves and mean it to encompass attraction all possible gender identities then that’s great!

It doesn’t, but I have had that argument thrown at me almost verbatim by someone who identified as bisexual after I mentioned that I’m less attracted to masculine than feminine.

Not necessarily, because I don’t separate trans from cis, though some people do. It’s really a personal preference. Pan feels like a more inclusive term to me than what bi does.

I refer to myself as pan for two reasons. First, I believe that gender is a spectrum and there’s more than two of them. Two, to me bisexual implies equal attraction to both the masculine and feminine, and I’m less attracted to the masculine than I am to the feminine end of the scale.

Really, pansexual is being attracted to the the person, regardless of their gender identity.

Red Panda. I want to steal one from the zoo every time I go.

It was inserted into a bill for foreign aid to Ukraine and Israel. That’s what had bipartisan support.

You’ve gotten a few answers already that explain what it is, but a lot of the discussion misses the “why” of the situation. There’s a strong anti-US government part to the whole situation that basically says “if you’re going to ban tiktok in the US because you’re afraid of China getting our data/controlling the algorithm then we’ll just join a social media site whose servers are actually in China!” It’s a big FU to the government.

Depending on whether the video creator has allowed it, long press on the video and select “save video”.

Parts of the serialized story were fleshed out and became Dune.

I mean, none of that is true, and Herbert stated he had parts of Messiah and Children written before Dune was even finished.

In the forward to Heretics of Dune: “Parts of Dune Messiah and Children of Dune were written before Dune was completed. They fleshed out more in the writing, but the essential story remained intact.”

Well, they certainly are revolting, I’ll give you that.

Doing this from memory, but I think there was a paper a few years back proposing using stem cells in an implanted calcium lattice. Basically an artificial implant that would grow into an actual rooted tooth.
