They don't understand falsehoods because they're nearly a hive mind, individual thoughts are "broadcast". Afaik they do have imagination. Why they didn't use their tech to stabilise their solar system isn't explained but I guess shifting several suns away from one another is beyond even d...

It’s horses for courses isn’t it.

I’m the opposite, felt much better after cutting out meat. Less lethargic and my digestion’s better.

I dropped off of 3 body problem at ep5. They keep undermining their hard sci-fi for story convenience. It's been a few years but iirc they're following the book fairly closely for the main sciencey ideas. They're definitely sticking to the speed of light limit (apart from the magic of instant commu...

My partner had a fasting blood test last week and has an appointment with the nurse on wed, expecting bad news regarding their cholesterol.

I’m 41 now and should probably start paying attention to these things.

Just like me tbh, my bilious hate ruins everything

Just sayin’

This thread makes me wonder, has anyone seen @ZedLeg? Don't think I've seen him post for a little while. That's weird - I wondered that last week. And nope: Last active Tue Jan 09, 2024 4:02 pm He's too busy baiting in NP&E on PH. Which is not a healthy way to spend one's time True, I’ve appare...

They run their neighbourhoods like fiefdoms and can enforce all kinds of rules about what you can do on your own land that don't seem very American . You also have to join if you want to live there.

My house is a 150 year old tenement. Chock full of souls

You could run between all the rooms without using the doors, just dip a shoulder.

That's deliberate in the mid west iirc. Cheaper to rebuild a wood framed house after a tornado than to try and build a house strong enough to withstand them in the first place.

Definition of a McMansion.

It's an ugly arena in a city that already has a bunch of them. It's not like it's a groundbreaking piece of architecture.

Is it only a cottage pie in a small house?

What about pies with a bottom but no top? Custard pie, Pecan pie etc etc I fear the horse has already bolted with regard to keeping the pie definition pure There was a government petition in relation to this. The numbers are impressive. https://petition.parliament.uk/archived/petitions/46504 :lol: ...

There's room for all types of pie imo.

An unmodified 037 and a P25 please.

Yeah I think the C4 has gone profoundly out of fashion and back in again. They look brilliant. Also as discussed in that wheel thread, Buzzsaws are great wheels. Seeing them side by side the wheels on the Prodrive look hilariously out of proportion. I think I'd rather have an original. Having watch...

I have been looking at more sustainable companies within my industry. There's a lot of interesting work happening in Spain and Portugal around sustainable garment manufacture but they're all small (most ecomm companies are much smaller than you expect) so there's not a lot of opportunity to get in.

I'm currently a shipping manager for an ecomm company. I try and push sustainability as much as possible but ultimately I'm responsible for shipping out 1000s of parcels a week all over the world. Part of what's given me the push is seeing how lightweight a lot of what companies push as sustainabili...
