I think most people would consider over a week and a half without power an extenuating circumstance, especially if no gas containers are readily available to purchase in his area (how many other people just ran out to buy one?) and nobody got hurt.

If bulls are anything like people, well, put the bull on HRT for a couple of years and you might be able to milk it. Trans women can lactate breast milk that’s nutritionally identical to cis women’s.

Not sure if it’s in android, but iOS has an app called Good Sudoku that’s probably my favorite way to play I’ve ever found (have been casually playing for 20ish years). It easily has the best highlighting that lets you quickly parse position for numbers.

I’m sure the dude on day 11 without power gives a shit. I get why you’re not supposed to, but anyone who would try to prosecute this is a moron

Post-top surgery trans dude here. Have yet to have any tits forcibly operated back onto me. Which is what they’d have to do, because all my former breast tissue is mostly gone.

Common mistake, that’s from when he was fighting UV Man.

Get hyped, by virtue of not being a baby fresh out of high school you are now one of the cool students! I have a few family members that are teachers and they say that older students are usually the teachers’ favorites because they are so motivated. I try to use my position as an old dude to show the youngins it’s okay to ask questions and not know things, and to get excited about stuff. But I’ve also met a lot more people my age and older than I thought I would!

Thank you for making it possible to do my school work Windows-free, LibreOffice team 🙏

For now it’s just naloxone and insulin that you can buy, and schools can buy albuterol inhalers. It’s a great start, though.

Just to add context this isn’t a Middle East specific thing, you might see these basically anywhere crops are irrigated. If you check the US Southwest you’ll see similar circles of farmland.

This was going to be true even without going back to school FWIW. Even if you go in at 18 there’s going to be rich international (and domestic, but more likely with international) students who have never worked a day in their life and probably won’t after graduating. Do you and don’t worry about how long it took you to get around to it.

-going back at ~40ish

This makes all the chuds responding to any and all criticism of them with ‘wHeRe’S yOuR bUgAtTi??’ extra funny. I don’t know, man, where’s his?

The dioramas are all made with a one-to-one ratio. This means that each model cat soldier represents one soldier during the real battle, not 10 or 50. All of the dioramas are also all made to scale. If a hill looks like it would have been a monster to climb while dodging cannon fire and bullets, it was.

Caption: "The Battle of Gettysburg, as depicted by clay cats. The 140th New York (right) arrives and the 20th Maine (left) charges, pushing the Confederates back. The fight eventually ends on Little Round Top." Rows upon rows of anthropomorphic cats dressed in blue uniforms and cats in gray uniforms fire at each other. Some cats are bleeding or lay dying. A tattered Union flag is held aloft by one cat soldier.

Courtesy of the Craft Contemporary Museum. Each pattern has the name in Arabic and the area(s) of Palestine they’re traditionally from or most commonly found. They often feature locally important plants and animals. These are typically worked in cross stitch (fallaḥi, roughly meaning ‘villager’s stitch’), but can also be done in satin stitch. Tatreez is associated with weddings, and the garments made for the new bride are intended to last her entire life and also become heirlooms. Here are a few lovely pieces that were on display:

And my scans of the paper copies that were available. Sorry my scanner struggled with this, I did my best to compensate and the grid should hopefully be legible:

Yellow archangel (Lamiastrum galeobdolon), if anyone was curious.

All corn can’t become popcorn, the kernel’s skin in something like yellow corn is too thick. So after corn was domesticated another variety with thinner skin had to emerge before the first popcorn could be made.

Imagine just trying to roast the staple crop you’ve grown up eating and it suddenly explodes and turns into this feather light white fluffy thing. If I didn’t grow up knowing what popcorn was I don’t know what I’d think.
