I actually know a coffee scientist who works for them. They fully understand what they’re serving, the reliability is the impressive part. Having consumed some horrific gas station dregs, seeing a dunks when I need a caffeine hit can be comforting

I had to get around my city during the precipitation, and my bike with studded tires feels way safer in icy slush than using a car, it has better visibility and better traction.

Captain Crunch is actually a castrato

And crowing about the fact that some people were cheering in the streets, when you’d get the exact same reaction here. I can only imagine what the celebrations will be like when a certain guy eventually croaks…

Venezuela is totally off the radar screen ever since he abducted Maduro even though nothing actually changed in the country. Ironically it was probably a net positive for the Maduro regime aside from Maduro himself

Exquisite!

This is correct, but if instead of strangers the two people happened to be Lucas and Roddenberry, I actually think I’d trust Lucas more.

This is the moment in the sci fi movie that we’re screaming at the character to stop putting his face so close to the alien proboscis that’s obviously about to lay eggs inside him

Wowβ€”very powerful writing!

There’s an overpriced condo near me that has that in the kitchen as part of the staging. It’s viscerally off-putting

Graph of AI growth trendlines extended into a drawing of Fred Flintstones. This is an equally plausible future.

These so-called visionaries. They didn't even consider this fourth possible path.

Just a corn snake for me, thanks. Would love a shed from a cobra though

I was describing it to a fellow elder millennial who hadn’t heard of it and I think I sounded like I was having a fever dream

Love how jaunty they look. The Dasher looks like it’s posing like a runway model

A good reminder of how messy the scientific process is. But fascinating to think that those teeth might have been associated with predation or scavenging of the sauropod

Ahhh amazing! I love beach snow, sometimes the wind and sand mixing makes weird formations

Can’t wait for the media puff pieces that take his insane ramblings seriously. I’ll be in my art studio.

I felt done with winter last week when my dog jumped over a snowbank and I tried to follow him. There was a broom buried in the snow from somebody sweeping their car, I tripped over it and face planted.

I have a Ryzen 7950X3D with 64 gigs of RAM, and right clicking on image files is noticeably laggy when it has to load a bunch of bullshit options I don't care about.
