Good call. Everything is Zeus's type.

I guess this makes the Midwest the taint of America.

Tell Rizzo he's one of the cutest pups I've ever seen.

That makes sense. I also totally get you on the last point. As soon as I manage to own a house, the yard is getting planted with local flora, fruit bushes, and a vegetable garden.

I think for some people it's like a form of meditation, especially for those with a big lawn and a riding mower. I don't personally get it, but that's the vibe these guys give off.

I'd start by deciding what your goals are, so you know what to work towards in terms of hardware, software, and processes. Once you've got some sort of an idea, explore ways to accomplish it and post your questions in this community. It can be super overwhelming to get started, but the research and problem-solving is half the fun.

I would legitimately love to see this. Sounds like a bit of a Forest Gump vibe, and your choice of Nicolas Cage feels perfect for this role.

Thanks for the reminder. Literally just booked mine (along with a COVID booster) after seeing this.

I'm always going on about the dangers of microplastics to anyone who will listen but I'm doubtful that "[putting] humanity on notice" will have any effect at all. If our global response to the existential threat of climate change is any indication, we may as well start taking bets on which will kill us first.

To make a sizeable dent in microplastics in our environment we'll have to rethink the entire concept of rubber tires, and that's gonna be a non-starter with the monied interests and their propaganda machines. Also, synthetic clothing is gonna be a big one. Getting rid of plastic straws and shopping bags infuriated so many people in my country, so that's gonna be crazy when people find out they'll have to do without stretchy clothing. (And the straw/bag thing was essentially a token effort given the vastly higher volumes of single-use plastic across the supply chain).

I don't mean to be a doomer about this - it's very important that scientists bring this to light if we want to have any hope of bettering our world. It's just frustrating feeling like I've been shouting into a void regarding this issue, even to those in my personal life.

I wish the article went into some detail about how the hell a 72-year-old fought in a war. I know people can be in good shape at that age, but I wouldn't think they'd be in voluntarily joining a war shape.

Also, how did he end up in the custody of Russia? Captured, or just strolled into Moscow one day with his big balls clanging at each step.

I start to get weak and fussy if it's 12:30 pm and I haven't had lunch. Assuming I get lost in the woods after breakfast that means I have a good 3-4 hours to find a settlement before I drop dead of being a little bitch.

Mathematically it works out to half the ~~cancer~~ type 2 diabetes and stroke.
