Umm lots and lots of kids, and some adults, have that kind of cereal for breakfast most mornings

For making arrows, or other tasks where you need a long, straight shaft of wood

Generally speaking, no.

I like getting out of the house, and I find I'm more efficient, better at focusing, in the office/field. Maybe That'd be different if I had a separate dedicated 'work office' at home, but I don't have space for such a thing.

But, I do like having the option to WFH. Bad weather, car trouble, feeling a bit sick (but not enough to call off).

You aren't wrong for liking what you like. But I love subtext, make me riddle out the meaning.

I know this isn't all 'non-subtext' works, but I hate when theres a beautiful passage that neatly implies what a character is thinking and feeling indirectly... Followed by them just blithely stating their current emotional state out loud. Hits like a sack of bricks every time.

I strongly prefer Ward, but it is pretty different.

Writing style remains the same, but the themes and focus is pretty different. Wards is more thoughtful in a lot of ways, but it means the pacing is slower and more introspective.

While Worm, keeping spoilers light here, kinda has the Taylor avoid introspection as much as possible, with several stories beats showing how unreliable she is at understanding her own motivations.

Yes, I know. Not my point; my point is that you can't disprove it with a cheap gotcha, not that it's real. I say I don't think its real in my post.

Yeah, I don't think astrology is any more real than, say, tarot cards. But both are complicated enough systems to be fun to play with, and also too complicated to simply 'disprove' like this post is trying to do.

Lotsa people think Astrology is just those sign things printed in newspapers (and, this does include some people who believe in it)

I always find it shocking when people say this. Impossible Meat (and the others in the market, like Beyond) are... Fine? But are very distinctly Not Meat to me, in both flavor and texture.

I mean no shade, I'm glad you found a meat replacement you like! And besides, your not the only one I've seen saying thag. I genuinely prefer things that are aiming to be their own thing. Black bean burgers remain my fav type of patty, for example.

Nah, that's silly. Asia obviously has the longest coastline.

Sure, based on that paradox, the specific measurement of a given coastline will differ. But if you pick a standard (i.e., 1km straight lines), Asia is easily the longest. Doesn't matter what standard you pick.

The only way the paradox matter here is of you pick different standards for different coastlines. Which, os obviously wrong.

Okay, but technically, incubus/succubus means demon who lies on top/beneath

Its summon top or bottom, not summon male or female

Yes. No photos would be better than the ai-slop. Like, they aren't even relevant to the article, they're just '' pop-sciencey'. If you're gonna use ai images, you could at least make them relevant to the topic?

I assume he's using a depreciation calculator, based in large part on milage. Y got a pretty good amount of miles on it for not being that old.
