Dogs love pumpkin. Dogs love cinnamon.

It's a little more violent than that. It's a small nuke going off.

You can't roll a reflex save against elephant matter coming at you at the speed of light.

Why the speed of light? Because the amount of pressure from compressing the elephants into that small area is the energy of a small nuke.

10s of thousands of nothing. Hundreds of thousands isn't even enough that "economic growth" at the expense of increased costs and greater inequity would be a net benefit.

A complete Greenland slide-off would be an average sea level rise of about 7m, and is possible in our lifetimes as an extreme event (something like a fraction of a percent chance before 2100). If it happened it would be multiple events really, spread out across years or decades. Antarctic ice moving so its weight is no longer supported by the continent was too unlikely to include in models a few years ago, but the West Antarctic has been so active that I'd expect it to start showing up in estimates.

Scientists: why would a female need to be horny or want to have sex?

[–] hissingmeerkat 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

J. Maruthupandian and G. Marimuthu can't understand purpose of sex being rewarding for females.

The bats spent longer performing cunnilingus after copulation than before, so licking competitors sperm out can't possibly be the reason, but it gets proposed.

Don't give them any ideas. Blueberries and sometimes strawberries are the only thing that's cheap anymore. Blueberries are cheaper than cereal by a factor of up to 10 (3 cents an ounce frozen or 6 cents an ounce fresh vs 20-30 cents an ounce for cereal). Sure, they're mostly water and cereal is mostly calories, but the cost of both is dominated by transportation and the blueberries cost more to grow, harvest and handle.

That's because you're the victim of a crime: extortion

 

Should I wait for the rotation and outlaw junction to spend my gold or do a few "Jump In!"s now to get more cards?

 

The last couple days I've finally been able to work on some of the big projects I care about and have wanted to do for months. But wanting to do all the things I want to do and having lots of ideas is painful, like before I got anxiety, ADHD treatment (which my doctor interpreted as being more of an anxiety thing) but also stopped doing the big things.

It's so tempting to ignore the things I really want and go burry myself in a video game or something.
