Stardew Valley is always a good game for avoiding the cold and dark , imo

Quick resume is definitely the best part of the Series X

They’re not legal where I live. Something about our sewage lines or treatment center not being able to handle it if I recall correctly. I have a clog resistant drain strainer that I clean out every time I rinse dishes in the sink instead.

Texas bbq is pretty damn good. Not sure if you keep halal but many places will have beef bbq in addition to the more common pork

I think you mean against him, but regardless I think that asylum claim would be an uphill battle in many countries

Interesting question, I found this

You can’t make a baby with two moms by simply fusing two eggs or adding one egg’s DNA to another’s.  Even though the resulting embryo would have the usual 46 chromosomes, this wouldn’t work.

The reason isn’t some special string of A’s, G’s, T’s or C’s found in dad’s DNA.  No, instead it has to do with chemical marks found on egg and sperm DNA.  This methylation (as the marks are called) makes the DNA from each parent unique, and you need both to make a baby.

What these marks do is affect how at least 80 different genes are used.  In science speak, these genes are imprinted.

As you may remember, we have two copies of each of our genes, one from each biological parent.  The chemical marks shut off either the copy from the egg or sperm, depending on which has the marks present…

If an embryo’s DNA came from two parents of the same sex, then both copies of some of these imprinted genes will be shut off.  And for the rest of these genes, both copies will be turned on.  Embryos simply can’t survive when so many genes are out of whack. In fact, diseases like Angelman syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome can happen when just one of these genes isn’t passed on properly.

I never thought about that, but it makes sense

Crashing waves at the beach. Seagulls are little assholes but they add to the effect for me

Apple One is expensive but my whole family uses it and the only offered service I don’t really use much is Apple News.

Definitely try to use examples to help them get a glimpse into the issue. I like to explain documentation errors by pointing out when what are supposed to be sequentially recorded timestamps are recorded out of order in my work’s database. Sometimes the data quality isn’t there.

Balatro has no micro transactions but will consume your life regardless

I’ve seen those public bike repair racks with attached tools. I feel like that’s the closest thing to that we have

This is how we end up with snow crash.

I love that flavor of ice cream. I’m pissed though, my local Wawa doesn’t carry it anymore

To collect this data, Cloudflare has arranged about 100 lava lamps on one of the walls in the lobby of the Cloudflare headquarters and mounted a camera pointing at the lamps. The camera takes photos of the lamps at regular intervals and sends the images to Cloudflare servers. All digital images are really stored by computers as a series of numbers, with each pixel having its own numerical value, and so each image becomes a string of totally random numbers that the Cloudflare servers can then use as a starting point for creating secure encryption keys.

Cloudflare uses a wall of lava lamps for some of their RNG needs

Mostly Reuters as I feel news wires are inherently more likely to report just the facts as their main customers are other news outlets. This provides an incentive towards accuracy in a way that I find the current news landscape does not have. Beyond that I have a handful of podcasts and other more niche publications I love like Ars Technica.

Not on Twitter but lol, what a leading question

Unfortunately painfully is the only method I’ve found.
