Does it matter? 12" is 12".

Maybe there's a vibrate function now!

He's not on the battlefield, he's in a machine with his country's identifier painted on it.

Now, if the plane crashed and he survived it might be an issue.

Wanna buy some NFTs instead? Pleeeeeease?

That's still over £850/$1090 per month. Nothing to sneeze at.

I've got the audiobook on my digital shelf. I'm super excited to hear Garak again!

He got less stupid as the series went on and they developed his character to actually have skills.

I didn't know that! Thanks!

Isn't chupacabra from the Caribbean though?

I hate the fucking housing market these days.

Are they driving you quackers?

There's also the film Soylent Green (1973), though that isn't lab-grown human tissue

I'm well aware of how screwed I got... I'm hoping that in the next year or so I'll be able to re-litigate with a different lawyer. I was so desperate to get out of that marriage, I took some bad advice.

My biggest problem is that my life hasn't been the most stable since I left her. The sick amount of money I have to give her every month certainly hasn't helped.

Uhhh, I'm a Xennial and this hits hard. I am basically paying for her mortgage with the amount of money I have to give my ex every month. She has always had zero ambition, so I was always getting raises, and by the time we split, our finances were in two very different places, so the court said I have the luxury of paying her monthly just to be rid of her.

And how much is the athletics program bringing in vs. spending? That's always my first question. The article isn't specific, but it implies that it's in the red.

There's an I Love Lucy scene where Ricky is trying to prove he is capable of reading to their baby, and the book is filled with -ough words.

My heart goes out to anyone trying to learn this language as a second (or third or...) language.

I mean... they're not wrong.

Woodchipper. Just be sure to do it in the middle of the night when it's impossible for anyone to hear you because they're sleeping.

What if you only have one foot?

I'm a teacher. I bought this book for my own children. It's a book about being true to yourself, even when you don't feel like you fit in. You don't have to be "blue" or "pink" if you feel like you fit into both categories.

Yes, it's a book about being trans, but there are other ways to read the book, especially if your audience is young. Accepting and loving yourself. Inclusion. Tolerance. It's a sweet book, and so of course people are going to get mad... it teaches kids acceptance, not hate!

Aldous Huxley's Brave New World was the first dystopia that I ever read. I'd gotten so enamored with all of the various utopias in sci-fi, especially Star Trek, that the idea that the opposite might exist hadn't previously occurred to me. While it didn't change me in a day-to-day kind of way, it helped me make sense of the world around me. I have always loved Star Trek, but it never seemed like humanity was truly headed in that direction.

BNW, 1984, and others helped me understand the world around me, which I think made me a better person in the end. Am I going to be a party to the creation of these kinds of worlds, or am I going to try to help move humanity in the other direction?
