Hello future person. I was told once that there's an urban myth in Zimbabwe about white people not having knees, because I guess the remaining white people there always cover up.

Kudzu won't grow where I live either. I'm not actually sure what the equivalent would be. Dandelions are the most unstoppable plant I can think of. Creeping bell flowers are maybe a close second.

Leaves/shoots are where the energy comes from. If they get destroyed enough the root will die. Usually gardeners just aren't that patient.

TBH the difference is surprisingly technical.

I mean, we're nowhere close to running out of physical space. Best available solar potential would be the closest measure of feasibility, and northern, wet Germany will kill by that standard.

Sitting here and chilling with experts who have decades of experience and might just laugh me out of the room IRL is a miracle. Fuck magazines by that standard. And don't even get me started on the people who live near me.

I think we might be through the worse of the (non-government-driven) press collapse, too. From what I've heard the digital subscription model is working well.

I've heard this called exterminism. Woe be to whichever proles they decide to keep as pets.

It appears the last commercial telegram was sent in 2013. 2006 in America.

As you can imagine, it was a damn small niche by the 21st century, since phones had deep penetration already by WWII, but it was there.

I've actually looked for none of them, come to think of it.

I've googled a couple of kids I lost touch with younger. It's mostly normal stuff, but the one guy runs a marketing/inspirational speaking outfit now, which is hilarious because that's exactly how I remember him at 7.

Mostly, or just yes.

I can't think of a more reasonable definition of an evil person than a person who does a lot of evil.

Usually people have some kind of way of justifying an action to themselves, and there's always a story that lead up to it. Everyone I've gotten to know well is part of one problem or another.

So, It's not very interesting to ask where to draw the line, and even less useful. The important thing is what to do about it.

I'm not letting anything in my house that's not reasonably certain to be housetrained.

I suppose if it's a short ride or in an outdoor space, anything non-venomous and between the size of a fly and a goose is cool. (Bats are honorarily venomous, because they carry hella disease)

 

I considered posting this elsewhere, but only Canadians are really going to get why it's funny. Regina being totally self aware about it's (lack of) reputation made it for me.

A link to the preprint. I'll do the actual math on how many transitions/second it works out to later and edit.

I've had an eye on this for like a decade, so I'm hyped.

Edit:

So, because of the structure of the crystal the atoms are in, it actually has 5 resonances. These were expected, although a couple other weak ones showed up as well. They give a what I understand to be a projected undisturbed value of 2,020,407,384,335.(2) KHz.

Then a possible redefinition of the second could be "The time taken for 2,020,407,384,335,200 peaks of the radiation produced by the first nuclear isomerism of an unperturbed ^229^Th nucleus to pass a fixed point in space."

Per the rules, this is the original headline. However, the interesting part is that he's preparing a Gaza offer that he says will be "final".

They've hewn very close to the whole "unconditional support" thing, so I'm curious what that means exactly.

 
 

The Wikipedia article on Steiner constructions mentions it, but doesn't explain it, and the source linked is a book I don't have. This has come up in a practical project.

 

In air. This seems like it should be incredibly basic information but I can't find it anywhere.

 

Just watched this and thought it was dope. I especially liked the Roman buffets and Foreman grills.

 

I just watched Roman support on WIRED and it was dope, but it's not a meme.
