Mid 20s! It all worked out.

Do plants feel pain?

From what I've read so far, unfortunately, it seems like they might. Plants can communicate with each other and form underground resource networks with other plants, fungi, and microorganisms. Including for illness, boring bugs and pain responses. The smell of fresh cut grass is one of those warning/pain responses.

I've wanted to do some bonsai succulents, but the process towards any living thing seems cruel and painful.

The first thing to be abandoned as soon as the highways fill up with stalled/crashed/flooded cars.

I think you might be talking to the wrong people. I know many people in happy marriages, male and female.

God, I'm so looking forward to a time when science, peace and environmental research are at the forefront of the world's focus again.

One of my friends was a rural police officer, which I didn't know. Dude is super friendly and queer. Unfortunately he had a lot of terribly sad stories of AD&D and DUIs. He finally called it quits when one woman rode up an industrial garage door to impress her friend and got lethally caught in it. Found her friend holding her legs to try and save her. Too many terrible things happened to nice but terribly misguided (or drunk) people.

I think that job hurt his heart.

Also the colonization of Africa to steal all their gold and minerals while propping up warlords in exchange for armed Russian mercs that crush dissent. That's happening right now.

I paid $65 bucks for 32gb ddr4 3600mhz around 2020. Crazy to see ram prices now.

Another martyr for democracy. She will be remembered as a hero someday soon, like Rosa Parks.

Flavored dish soap is kinda wild in general. Yes, I want the things I eat and drink off of to all taste vaguely of chemical lemons.

The default should be plain soaps and plain dish detergent. Some are so potent that the scent sticks to the dishes even after washing, and unfortunately, the food too. Especially that dawn spray soap.

It feels like a bad game of D&D where the DM keeps heavily pushing the evil path, despite player choices not choosing that path.

 

TIL that crunches and situps are bad for your spine. And sitting for long periods of time.

These tortoises can live till 200, and it's not uncommon for them to have children at such an age, even in the wild. Their numbers are growing! :)

 

Luckily, they are delicious and almost free.
