Highly praised him, stopped just short of endorsing saying he needs to know more about his policy proposals. Said there’s room in the party for dem socialists.

I’m personally a fan of Kobo as it’s pretty easy to strip the DRM with a calibre plugin. (I also really like my kobo ereader)

My TBR list grew 3 sizes in the last month with books that came out or were on heavy discounts by authors I adore and read all their stuff right away.

I started with John Scalzi’s When the Moon Hits Your Eye.

I mainly use a combination of Hardcover and StoryGraph. I like the interface Of Hardcover better and its business model. They recently just added a bunch of developers and other people To help shore up some of their weakness especially in their book data. StoryGraph handles reading challenges better in fact, we have one therefore our Book Bingo.

As a fan of the series. It was fun.

She’s sooo good.

The ebook is an Amazon exclusive unfortunately. It used to be possible to convert with calibre, but Amazon closed that loophole unless you have a kindle floating around. They all got released in hardcover this year. Alternatively you could buy them on Amazon and then pirate them in a more accessible format.

The series is pretty good.

Welcome! Have you seen our Book Bingo? It just started May 1st.

You provided two great examples, the recurrent laryngeal nerve and vagus nerve as well as hiccups, eye colors, some anemias, like sickle-cell or iron deficiency are others. However, your misunderstanding about what evolutionary adaptation (or more accurately, natural selection) is doesn’t mean somebody else has to prove you wrong, just because you define something incorrectly.

And all I pointed out was that your description of evolution by natural selection was wrong, the natural selection process “doesn’t care” about the existence of things that don’t decrease reproductive fitness, so those features won’t be selected against. Things that may have been useful to an ancestor in a different body configuration but not us, may continue to exist, but that’s not an argument for its continued usefulness. So saying the fact a foreskin still exists therefore it must be useful isn’t supported by the way genetic evolution by natural selection works.

Sources aren’t even hard to find:

• “First, it’s important to recognize that not all of an organism’s features are due to adaptation. For instance, some non-adaptive, or even detrimental, gene variants may be on the same DNA strand as a beneficial variant. By hitching a ride on the same DNA strand as the useful variant, a non-adaptive gene can quickly spread throughout a population. In other words, just because a certain trait is there doesn’t necessarily mean it’s useful.” From: (https://www.science.org.au/curious/earth-environment/why-evolution-isnt-perfect)
• “But here’s where it gets interesting – some traits stick around even if they’re not particularly helpful. Why? Well, as long as a trait doesn’t actively harm an individual’s chances of survival and reproduction, it might just hang around in the genetic wardrobe.”

Two, if there’s a flap of skin attached to and covering a body part, and this flap appears on very nearly every single male ever, there’s likely a really good reason evolutionary biology brought it about.

I’m not saying this in support of circumcision, but that’s not at all how evolutionary adaptation works. We are full of parts that are no longer useful and are infact sometimes downright more risky to have just because they aren’t likely to negatively impact our ability to procreate.

This reminds me of the person that suggested in a response to a request for ADHD “life-hacks” where they would wet one of their socks before starting a specific high-importance task and could not take it off until the specified task was completed.

Perhaps one of the most interesting words in the English language today, is the word "fuck". Out of all the English words that begin with the letter 'f', fuck is the only word referred to as "the f word". It's the one magical word.  Just by its sound can describe pain, pleasure, hate and love. "Fuck", as most words in the English language is derived from German ...the word "fuieken", which means to strike.  

In English, "fuck" falls into many grammatical categories: 

• As a transitive verb for instance: John fucked Shirley. 

*As an intransitive verb:  Shirley fucks. 

Its meaning is not always sexual, it can be used as... 

• An adjective such as:  John's doing all the fucking work. 
• As part of an adverb:  Shirley talks too fucking much. 
• As an adverb enhancing an adjective:  Shirley is fucking beautiful. 
• As a noun:  I don't give a fuck. 
• As part of a word:  abso-fucking-lutely  or  in-fucking-credible. 
• And as almost every word in a sentence:  Fuck the fucking fuckers. 

As you must realize, there aren't too many words with the versatility of fuck such as these examples describing situations such as: 

• Fraud:  I got fucked at the used car lot. 
• Dismay: ahhh fuck it. 
• Trouble: I guess I'm really fucked now. 
• Aggression: Don't fuck with me buddy. 
• Difficulty: I don't understand this fucking question. 
• Inquiry: Who the fuck was that? 
• Dissatisfaction: I don't like what the fuck is going on here. 
• Incompetence: He's a fuck-off. 
• Dismissal:  Why don't you go outside and play hide and go fuck yourself.

I'm sure you can think of many more examples. 

With all these multi-purpose applications, how can anyone be offended when you use the word. We say use this unique, flexible word more often in your daily speech. 

It will identify the quality of your character immediately. 

Say it loudly and proudly:  FUCK YOU!
