It’s the fact you purchased 0.006kg of them that is the curious part of that receipt.

Minor correction: We protect your children

Adolph’s childhood would certainly be described by nobody as a good time. The one story I recall was him stripping naked to try and squeeze through the window bars in order to escape his father’s wrath, only to get stuck. He found the humiliation of his father’s laughter worse than the beating he was expecting.

The Russians/Soviets have guard towers on every block who monitor which rooms citizens are in at any given moment. Absolutely no true freedom of movement, unlike those of us in the free world. At the time, I figured people could trick the guards by just not turning on lights in the room when they moved about. As the years went on, two questions came to mind: isn’t that prohibitively expensive? and why???

Ah, yes! That’s much better!

Did anybody see what happened to the spider experiments box over near the airlock? I could have sworn that was where I left it.

“has fur”

Displays list of mostly non-mammals.

EDIT: lacks “has fur”. Makes more sense now.

Brilliant! Took me too long, but I’m on the same page now.

I read it as “casino” and was very intrigued on many levels.

Here’s my take. I grew up in the Cold War. I saw no way out. Figured we were all done, with a state of permanent Cold War until an inevitable Hot War that ends it all. And then, very suddenly, in 1989, the Cold War was over. No nuclear explosions, no cities vaporized. Just a new and hopeful future.

And now, here we are today. I see no way out of the climate crisis, and it’s depressing. But I haven’t forgotten the lesson I learned from the Cold War. Just because I can’t see a way out, it doesn’t mean there isn’t, or that there won’t be. I don’t know how, but I’ve seen it before, humanity’s disaster somehow averted out of nowhere. Doesn’t mean we’ll skip climate disaster. Just means that just because you don’t see a way out right now, there still may be a way, and we should all work toward such a future.

Thank you for reading my Ted Talk. Fingers crossed.

What do Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning have to do with Elon lying about having mad gaming skills?

Similar question, what if you retract the invite after they’ve already entered the home?

Sometimes you just have to turn off expectations towards the story and accept that a movie is worth watching because it is pretty. I first learned this lesson with Speed Racer, but Valorian is another big title for me that falls into this category.

I did not enjoy the sequels, but Solo? Yeah, that is a solid fun time. I even have a Solo T-shirt that I still wear on occasion.

My favorite is a Galaxy bar. Yorkie is a good secondary.

😱

Of all the explanations offered, I think this one, pathetic as it is, is the most likely correct answer.

Seriously, though, what’s his thing for Greenland, anyway?

It please me that you have a ready answer to this question.

It concerns me that I have not heard of them until just now. However, I’m getting old enough that that may not be relevant.

What a savings!
