well, if you sever a quarter of X, particularly the south-east one, you’re left with y.
looks like another rebranding exercise is in the mix?

wait till you see what can be done with peas.
you can’t spell fail without AI.
what is the purpose of that view, though? why does driving need a bird’s eye?
that’s so mean. just call them “politicians” like the rest of the world do.
she thought she was Hermione. turns out she was just Malfoy.
as per wikipedia:
The virus enters the body through broken skin, or mucosal surfaces such as the mouth, respiratory tract, or genitals.
it would be very difficult to ensure every cut and scrape is covered up. there’s also the fact that animal bites can transmit the virus.
the best we can do, maybe, is try and limit human-to-human transmissions. diluted social distancing practices can help, perhaps?
for anyone else that felt they were left hanging by this 👆 person’s story:
separately, imdb itself has been enshittified enough that, most times, i don’t want the imdb page as a search result.
according to this site, there are 166k desths per day; which works out to about 7k deaths per hour or a little under 120 deaths per minute (around 2 deaths per second).
even if you get paired with somebody who dies in the same quadrant as you, there’s a good chance that that person will be an annoying prick.
so the maths bears out. the commenter to whom you replied is correct in saying that–if the ghost-no-gravity theory is true–you would be better off dying in a mini-mass-massacre event.
i may be OOTL on this, but hasn’t ECT always had a reputation of not achieving what it set out to do with the added bonus of irreversible damage to the patient?
Patriotism is the belief that together we can make this place really lasting and good.
the problem is with the definition of “this place”. a patriot’s vision of “this place” is restricted by borders drawn by politicians.
no sane person should ever “be ok” with that extent of tunnel vision. “this place” should extend to the world we all share.
the minute we think of ourselves as being part of a tribe – of being a subgroup – we lose sight of the fact that we are all together with each other on this third rock from the sun.
we know of no other life as yet. the only life we have amongst ourselves and around us on the crust of this planet is therefore doubly sacred.
why would we want to dilute something so wonderful by etching a border between ourselves and creating a “you” versus a “me”? why would we even want to maintain that division even if it were ostensibly given to us “by chance”?
(separately, it would be a travesty to say that the so-called “tribes” inhabiting india and pakistan, south korea and north korea, czechia and slovakia, all the present-day components of the former yugoslavia, northern ireland and the republic of ireland, and all other such sets of people divided by manmade norms were “given to us by chance”.)
patriotism is nothing but loyalty to real estate. - dr. gregory house.
seriously, though. it’s high time we thought of ourselves as co-passengers on a single planet-sized ship rather than attributing memberships to everyone on the basis of arbitrarily drawn lines on a map.
damn. how would russians watch unwanted ads now?
she asked if i had a pen name.
“bic”, i responded.
Her father was a mechanical engineer and her mother was a molecular biologist.
what, like howard and bernadette?!
this comment needs to be higher. it’s amazing how little self-awareness people have when they show astonishment that only Trump can act like Trump.
well, duh, that’s why he’s a dickhead. wishing him harm only makes one another bird of the same feather.
one must commend Hergé’s research.
to show moon caves in Explorers on the Moon sixteen years before the moon landing in an era without the internet is some freaky stuff.
personally, i wouldn’t trust a third-party created app with my banking details. what’s more, i’ve removed all banking apps from my phone.
i don’t need to allow access to my finances on the device which is most likely to get pinched out of everything i own. plus google and apple don’t need to know which banks have accounts of mine.
imo that additional inconvenience to conduct all banking transactions from a browser is worth the candle.
