Imagine growing up and remembering the one time Uncle Derrick took pictures with you and then took your family out to a nice dinner.

And then you realize they were just using your likeness to push restrictions of reproductive rights.

Who's downvoting this? The article is literally about black hole smiting dwarf stars with particle beams!

I thought they meant to use "genre," which makes more sense because who calls a type of meme a "genus?"

I hope you meant "much like with foreign people" and don't actually mean to say that foreign people don't pursue understanding and instead lash out.

It's interesting that Wikipedia says it's pronounced " S-Q-L" but was historically pronounced "sequel."

Also interesting, MySQL says on their site:

The official way to pronounce “MySQL” is “My Ess Que Ell” (not “my sequel”), but we do not mind if you pronounce it as “my sequel” or in some other localized way.

I really hope to see more developments in the realm of gravity batteries. In many cases they are not geographically constrained, given that it only requires vertical space and mass. Ideally, the land already has high variation in elevations, but the storage capacity can still be increased in areas with little vertical space by increasing the mass of the weight being lifted/lowered.

I'm sure you know this, but for curious readers: pumped hydro is also a gravity battery, but it requires two bodies of water at differing elevation. This means it's limited to coastal areas and places like dams. It's also limited by the smaller capacity reservoir between the two bodies of water; the amount of water moved cannot exceed the maximum capacity of the upper body, nor can it exceed the extra capacity of the resevoir of the upper body.

If anything, being very strict about food intake usually leads to unhealthy eating behavior, at least according to every person I know who has issues with food in either direction. Including myself.

If OP said "Bitch, I blah blah blah" then it could be argued that it's a figure of speech and not directed towards the waitress... but OP said "Fucking bitch" with no comma, so it's clearly directed at her.

Fair enough, my sentiment was towards liberal arts schools in general. Transylvania University is quite a name.

No no no, you don't understand! Liberal Arts colleges are infested with leftist agents and propaganda, and one could never gain anything of value studying there!

Unless, of course, you're a conservative man who studied economics there; then, your education makes you knowledgable and impressive. Of course, of course...
