Thank god they’re gone in 20 years. Those deep sea creatures don’t need oxygen anyway.

Obligatory Excalibur isn’t the sword in the stone that made Arthur king, it’s the sword the Lady of the Lake gave him. Caliburn made him king.

It’s because America is big, so they build in a day of travel, when that was still needed.

But it can’t be in the weekend because of church, and Wednesday was market day.

So they thought you can start traveling on Monday and vote on Tuesday. And it’s in November because it’s after the harvest. But not the 1st because that’s all saints day.

If you’re on some social security program it could be wise to turn down a small raise. At least in some places. Once you earn above a certain limit those benefits stop and you actually lose money.

Tariffs are not just for new products (new models). As soon as the current ps5 stock of a retailer is gone, they have to order new ones and pay a tariff. Then they make it more expensive for the consumer.

lets say Walmart now sells a ps5 for $400, but in a month they have to order new ones, from China. The order is more expensive than the one last month because of the tariffs, so they pay like 40% more. Walmart will now sell the ps5 for about $550 to you.

New PS5’s and other consoles will also get way more expensive. So relatively the switch is still the same price at 600, compared to everything else.

Hmmm who are these people, in Germany, in 1943. Gee, I wonder which group it could be.

Get a few public library cards. Then abroad you can use it to borrow ebooks and audiobooks for free.

How about some jury nullification.

Forget lasers, you can also shoot them with a bit of salt. But I still need a tracking system. How does that even work with such a tiny insect?

I’m involved in multiple projects where stuff like this will be used in very accessible manners, hopefully in 2-3 years, so don’t get too pessimistic.

Yes but what if one side is so slightly curved that it’s invisible to the naked eye? Then your total angles would be 179.99 degrees and it’s not a triangle.

Unless you’re queen or need an abortion or need healthcare.

Ah this actually cleared things up for me. Yellow coat is probably more evolutionary beneficial, and then even if a quarter of the young die its no big deal, just lay more eggs or whatever.

Wait, clover is a legume? How tiny are their peas?

I think once the temperature is higher than body temperature you want something that radiates the maximum amount of heat. But I’ve seen studies that seem to imply it doesn’t matter which color you wear.

Reading about the treasure fleet is wild:

The Chinese expeditionary fleet was heavily militarized and carried great amounts of treasures, which served to project Chinese power and wealth to the known world. They brought back many foreign ambassadors whose kings and rulers were willing to declare themselves tributaries of China. During the course of the voyages, they destroyed Chen Zuyi’s pirate fleet at Palembang, captured the Sinhalese Kotte kingdom of King Alakeshvara, and defeated the forces of the Semudera pretender Sekandar in northern Sumatra.

Sounds like a fantasy novel.

Only in the same way you’re supporting the local economy by being pickpocketed. There are better and less shady ways of doing it.

It’s a scene from Brooklyn 99.
