For those confused about her looks, she is ethnically Korean and was adopted by a Catholic American family at the age of 3 months. Her adoptive paternal grandparent was Jewish, hence the last name.

TIL Tapirs exist in southeast Asia. I knew they were in south America. I guess the two diverged 20 to 30 million years ago.

Welp, he should be coach of both the football and baseball teams.

The last male northern white rhino died in 2018 with two females still alive.

I'm really suspicious of these claims. The products look really nice. Ocean harvested plastics are highly deteriorated from sun and salt exposure and contaminated with all types of crap including organic matter. They are a jumble of all types of plastics. Most products claiming recycled use are made from manufacturing scraps that are clean and composed of a single type of plastic.

There may be some process down the road which can reduce mixed plastics to elementary chemical compounds that can be refined and reused. We aren't there yet, but people are working on it.

I was thinking that the tinder date said that their idea of a romantic date was overthrowing the government in a violent resurrection.

If stuff has been leaking, the floor joists are probably rotting and you'll have to do a full teardown of the wall drywall and floor and replace them. Hopefully the walls are not compromised. This isn't cheap, but this is something that has to be done correctly.

The beer riots of World Cup 2022 are going to be something to behold. Storm the luxury boxes!

I'd think anyone with the means to travel to Qatar would be at least moderately well off. I'd be fucking livid if they didn't sell alcohol. It sounds like a bait and switch because I'll bet half the people would not have shown up if they knew about this beforehand.

As soon as they have cheap Starlink Wifi, I thnk people will be more amenable to being far from windows. I certainly would.

On my dryer which is stuck close to the wall vents into a narrow rectangular prism that turns into a cylinder once it passes the width of the dryer and then vents via a flexible aluminum hose to the outside.

There are quite a few feral populations of Wallabies, notably in the UK and New Zealand. I thought there were some in the US, but this article doesn't say so.

Quercus macrocarpa which appropriately means big fruit.

Man, what a fiasco. It's pretty amaing that people can use real time captioning devices but I can see why Lillias White made that mistake. I remember 40 years ago when a visiting professor from Bell Labs teaching a voice recognition class was telling us all the difficulties in performing that task and single speaker single word recognition was still 5 years in the future and speaker independent full flow sentences would be 20 years in the future. Now our phones do it easily and we don't even think about it.

Has anyone here taken one yet? I think I saw one in San Francisco, but I guess they have an operator to monitor things and you have to be enrolled in a special program to take one. I guess they have fully autonomous taxis in Phoenix, which I suppose is less of a challenge than in San Francisco since no one walks anywhere there.

It doesn't really go into when she became deaf and blind. I thought that most deaf from birth people had a real difficult time speaking clearly, Marlee Matlin being an example. She speaks really clearly. Amazing woman.

Focused Ion Beam?

There is actually a real ice 9 known as ice IX. Fortunately it doesn't have the same characteristic as Vonnegut's version. It exists at crazy low temperatures and super high pressures.

Ice exhibits at least eighteen phases (packing geometries), depending on temperature and pressure.

Three wheeled bicycle, if you will. This picture was referenced earlier. Looks like a Schwinn adult tricycle.
