There's unexpected solar winds https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31851572 , and a rare triple La Nina, in a similar time frame. Does anyone with more knowledge on meteorology and the sun's effects on it than me

I'm something of a chat-addict and use my group conversations with other people to collect my thoughts. The majority of them are annoyed that I do this, and either can't or don't want to follow my trail of thoughts. I should

More likely, the creator might recognize that a lot of people who like this kind of stuff have a habit of "hiding their power level" by not buying it and displaying it on their chest. Going ahead and buying that shirt is somethi

It appeals to me, absolutely, because I am familiar with and have a positive impression of the Grug character.

I don't think we can scientifically solve the mind-body problem either. Scientifically, we've been able to pile up some evidence against the brain being remote-controlled through an extremely simple, uni-faceted direct channel of

Yep, the credibility of the risk is in the wine suppliership, at the very least.

I'm 50 feet tall and made of metal, of course I'm going to be heavy. As the airline companies realized, software weighs nothing, so its removal did nothing to unburden me ;_;

In the parts of the world that were prone to this, we're too atomized, lonely. We've also been more educated through documentaries to be wary of cult compounds. People are very cynical of spiritual belief and skeptical of the inte

The apotheosis of a machine as the restarting point of a cyclical time-loop, it must have astonished the audience especially at the time. To the best of my finite reckoning, it boils down to a pantheistic/monistic model because either
