Remember to try to avoid using power 4-9 pm if possible. Because it's peak hours, and the sun is setting, fossil fuels kick in to meet demand, even if you aren't directly hooked up to them. Later at night, wind/hydro power can supply enough because demand is lower.

Just because your queerness is less easily depicted, it's no less valid.

If you loved the look of your "good china" and wanted to enjoy it every day, but couldn't afford to replace broken or chipped or worn-down pieces all the time, displaying it was safer than using it every day. You could eat off the same old plate, whether it's a damaged part of the set or something else entirely, while looking at the pretty ones you're not having to wash (or even dust often, if behind glass). Then for big fancy gatherings you'd have enough nice ones for everyone.

Edit: Looking at OP's picture brings me memories of long-ago college parties, so it's a similar reminder of good times with good friends that old grandmas might get from looking at their china case.

For a second I thought, "is this Loss?"

It wasn't. That would at least have been clever.

I enjoy Earl Grey tea plain, but I can't call it "black," even though it's "black tea." Because it's orange-ish brown. 🐈

You made points others didn't, and your edit demonstrates another aspect of the alone/crowd response to a prompt.

Laughing with a "crowd" supports you until you realize you were alone all the time, whereas thinking you're the only commenter frees you to share your insights, but finding you were part of a crowd made you embarrassed about it. Don't be. We all know being first allows comments to get more points, but more slowly typed comments also add value to the conversation.

You can't just post something like this without making sure they're okay! Like either they're being adopted or at least their mother is coming right back to take care of them, and is getting plenty to eat! And someone is going to see they all get spayed/neutered, including mom!

Or anthropomorphizing it, expressing sympathy for it, in a country with a lot of suicides and a love of robots.

The fact they're not going to just replace it with another robot could argue for either case.

Okay, for those who only read the headline and not the article, the text is the Bhagavad Gita.

So, not poster-sized. More like adding a Bible to the library. I think you're going to run into a tldr problem there. I don't know the Gita, is there a shorter excerpt that could be on a poster?
