I know it’s part of the joke here, but not a bad time to mention the pyramids weren’t built by enslaved workers at all. It was likely dedicated domestic laborers working 3-4 hr days.
Just a refugee

If you want to be sure to catch it next year, sub to the Canvas comm on toast.ooo!
The pipe comic with Garfield was also likely referencing a famous Magritte painting.
The painting is a kind of play on self-reference
Meme-ception for sure
The Thursday Murder Club. Very delightful writing
Just started this. Very nice so far
For folks who haven’t read it before: Andy Weir’s ‘The Egg’
Not_Rick has a great answer but I will add something. Your question about the quote you posted is based on a disagreement about what race is, between you and social scientists. The phrase “we can take a DNA test and get our ancestry, telling us what percentage of what races make up our overall ethnicity” already assumes that genetics = race, end of story. But this is an unfounded assumption. All the test can tell is our genetics. Not_Rick offered some good examples for the counterpoint, that genetics ≠ race. If you disagree with that basic premise then you will always be bothered by modern theories on the subject such as CRT.
Once you see that race clearly is not just genetics, you can start asking what it truly is and what things do determine one’s race. These are much more interesting questions. For example, a new question might be ‘what has been the historical relationship between ethnicity and “being white” in the US’? And let’s not even start on the ridiculousness that is the census form.
Not sure about the other but PoppinKREAM became known on Reddit during the Mueller probe for very long, very well researched and cited comments mostly related to politics. Their citation style in particular meant their comments got tons of Reddit awards and were highly visible.
Yeah, free tier only lets you have 3 total calendars and there is no color coding available so it’s limited compared to Google which is what I was leaving. But export/import was seamless and it seems a good stepping stone to replace the one-click cloud megacorp offerings. Your stack seems perfect for when I have the time to get Nextcloud going.
Same thing is happening in Seattle and likely everywhere else.
I haven’t stepped up to using Nextcloud or my own hosted server, so I’m just using Proton Calendar. The free version is pretty limited though.
Le Guin prose is exceptional and would be nearly impossible to bring to screen well. I’m sure it will be tried at some point. Maybe a dark horse, but I actually think The Lathe of Heaven might be the most adaptable. It’s the simplest story and has plenty of room for exciting changes and visuals in a film.
For folks reading through these comments, it’s called DeArrow and is also crowdsourced, so the more users the better!
The Garamantes are cool and notable for not being based around a river at all. I got introduced to them when they were added as a civ in the strategy game Humankind.
Another fascinating rabbit hole about the world’s largest irrigation project in the same region: Libya’s Great Man-Made River
You are probably lucky, for now. I’m pretty sure they are rolling it out in waves. Boiling the frog and all that.
Thank you!
Thanks for your reply. I appreciate your personal take on the whole thing. As someone who has never been fat, I’m trying to figure out what’s the whole deal with the various movements around it. I feel it’s gonna become a much bigger cultural discussion in the next decade. And congrats on getting down to a happier weight for you! Setting and reaching goals is definitely something to be celebrated.
I downvoted because this is a popular opinion. MCU is the same thing. Most people probably don’t have a strong opinion on Star Wars either way, but for the people who do there are plenty who think it sucks.
I do this too. I would need them if I lost my phone, so bitwarden/keepass is a good place for them to be.
I think it is less secure though since someone who somehow has the unencrypted vault without your 2FA device could get in with the codes - but if someone cracks my master password I’m screwed in a whole bunch of ways so I’m not sure it matters too much at that point.
