Just wanted to comment, cause this community is a bit quiet. But man, I really hate tier lists. Just enjoy what you enjoy.
Like, Unseen Academicals and The Last Hero are some of my favourites.
I haven't read the Tiffany Aching books. Just cause I don't read much YA stuff. Maybe one day... In many discworld groups people really seem to enjoy them. And I've heard they are great for younger readers too.

Apparently the female seminal receptacle is also very long. In fact, the increasing length of this receptacle is one of the explanations for the extreme sperm length.

Drosophila females have evolved to fertilize their eggs with particularly long sperm. Only large, healthy males are able to produce large quantities of gigantic sperm, and if a female reproduces with healthy males, her offspring will have genes that make them healthy, too.

This shit gets me all the time.. '97 is 27 years ago. 27. Checks math, yes.. 27. Surely not? Feels like it's 10 years or so. Checks math.. no, 27.

No mate, 11 months too early

Recently learned it's actually "Eagles", not "The Eagles". (For example, take a look at the album covers. There are also documentaries in which they talk about it.)
But even the band themselves will use "the" when it grammatically makes sense. So confusing.

I'm sorry, TacoButtPlug, but your user name is triggering. Which, I hope is the only reason you picked it. Otherwise, I have questions.

But looking at the picture there is no road behind them, only the path going up the mountain?

There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass! Who's been pinching my beer? And at the other end of the bar the world is full of the other type of person, who has a broken glass, or a glass that has been carelessly knocked over (usually by one of the people calling for a larger glass) or who had no glass at all, because he was at the back of the crowd and had failed to catch the barman's eye.

Looks like flames, so cool!

Been really enjoying Palia lately. I like all the little quests and the emphasis on gathering, crafting, farming, etc. And really enjoy the absence of any sort of combat. Are there any other MMO's like that?
