expenses are like a gas, they will expand to fit the environment.

Brazil, Japan, England, France, NYC... I’m gonna guess Germany, Mumbai also have schools.

I have to agree. As much as I like a smart and prepared hero or heroine that isn’t the focus of a series of random events they react to but instead steers the story, I need it to also be clear that I don’t want the main character to seem like they practiced this all ahead of time and consulted with the writers to…

As much as I would say that a Palpatine is my first choice, I think what the story really needs is for the answer to be. Garn and Vreela Nobody from from the planet Doesn’t Matter.

Thanks for the list of potential cosplay ideas. If I ever get enough control of my health issues I certainly want to give some of these a go in costume form.

“...that would be exceptionally good news—it would imply that the Great Filter is behind us.”

I’d say that’s pretty much a truth of the physical universe. The greatest actions get the greatest reactions. If you aren’t creating ripples or waves, you’re not in the water yet.

Meh, I was expecting something that would creep me out, that didn’t do it for me.

looks like a good channel. It has a different angle than I use in my videos (and much better production quality). He seems more focused on the history and process, rather than how can somebody starting with next to nothing try to get the same or similar products to make something of their own.

Two bucks means I just avoid a days snack, or a book at the thrift shops I frequent. For that “sacrifice” I get the Chance of some larger return on my investment, maybe only 4 dollars, maybe 600, maybe the jackpot, maybe it’s 0 dollars. Two bucks is minimal risk as long as it’s not something I do more than a few times…

I hope it doesn’t catch on, because if it does we can expect to see a lot more e waste. permenant bonds of compnents means the whole thing is worthless if some part breaks that would otherwise be able to be replaced.

lump sum is 558, depending on state taxes you’d end up with 380-418 million after taxes if you took the lump sum and were the sole winner.

“The guidelines also draw a distinction between sugar and fructose (the natural sugar found in fruit). The latter isn’t included in the final count.”

Theres always some whiney twit that takes themselves too seriously and feels the need to complain.

reading too much into it, you are. What did you want an actor to say about a movie he’s not in. He saw it, and it was in the spirit of the star wars movies.

Thanks for this, I’ve been meaning to find out some dependable brand of olive oil that I can experiment with seperating the oleocanthal out of for further experimenting.

I had a similar reaction. I’ve something like 30 outlines for science fiction and fantasy novels, and several very rough first drafts sitting around.

People keep in mind that picking a potential child from a catalouge of traits is vastly different than choosing a mate with which to concieve a child.

TL;DR - Theres this guy who writes huge epic fiction I’m a fan of and they made movies about that fiction that made the guy famous, and the movies are coming out faster than the fiction... why aren’t I getting my fiction faster? Gimme Gimme Gimme. It’s because he doesn’t have anymore fiction, isn’t it? He’s a phony,

you have that backwards. Methane is a much worse greenhouse gas, and there is no thing that breathes it in and converts it to biomass. CO2 can seem bad, but it’s a natural portion of our atmosphere and many things breathe it in and exhale O2 and convert the carbon to things like wood, and food.
