I am not disagreeing. Birds are dinosaurs. But it's not a particularly useful way of understanding them for the average person. You might as well be extremely insistent that they're chordates. Do you remind people that trees aren't a taxonomic group every time they come up in conversation?
Even more context just makes it even more ridiculous.
I agree with you, and I never delete what I post unless it was straight-up a glitch or a typo or something. But, I still think other people should have that option if they want it.
Nah, people should be able to take back what they said. No humans in all of history had to account for every thing thing they ever said. Better to let the past be forgotten. Can that be abused? Sure. But I think there's value in letting people realize what they said was bad and take it down.
Jonah Judah from Bojack horseman is very clearly autistic, but it's never mentioned or even the source of any plot point. He's just a regular character who happens to be autistic and has his own plot things and stuff.
Edit: misremembered the name
I don't know! I doubt it. The one I had was pretty greasy, but that easily could have been preparation. I didn't spend much time in the "eat guinea pigs" part of the world, so I only had one.
A national RCV race would be an absolute nightmare to count if it ever became remotely competitive. Approval Voting is better in general, but especially for big, competitive elections.
Wait, but if I tip, wouldn't it just be the same as if the business charged more and paid their employees properly?

Still do. There's delicious, but there's not a not of meat on them.

Sounds like we're all jumping in to tell you about how RCV is the bare minimum improvement over FPTP. Approval Voting is arguably the best. It's so simple your ballot will always be counted, no matter how you fill in the bubbles. It's very popular in Fargo and St. Louis.
WIP Wednesday! For My First Patch, a No-Shoot Target
My first ever patch is going to be a no-shoot target from competitive action shooting. I was going to do a shoot target but it turns out I don't have any tan thread in my random assortment of threads.
I will be getting a proper color selection soon, and proper thread, but for now I'm getting started with what I have. I'm very excited to make my fist patch!!
What are you working on?
unusual circumstances recommendation on embroidery thread
Hi hi
I'm stuck in bed and starting to work on embroidery. All of my threads are wound on a spool. They seem to be general purpose threads as far as I can tell. Right now I'm folding them into four parallel threads and using that, doubled up. (Each stich is eight threads.) Some work better than others.
I'm slowly running out and will need to replace them, but I don't know anything about thread. The normal embroidery-specific threads don't seem to come on spools, which I would greatly prefer. They also have different sizes and I have no idea what's that about.
Basically:
Help! What is a good general purpose brand that comes on a spool? It doesn't have to be embroidery specific, but should be adaptable to use in embroidery.
Thanks!

Have you ever looked into what firearm education your community offer… Blake Alvarenga needs your support for Bring Firearm Education to American Communities
A Madison local is looking to provide firearms instruction classes to students who might not feel safe taking a normal firearms course. The classes are free to the students to make them as accessible as possible. If you can help out with operating expenses (classroom rent, study materials, etc.) you will help build proficiency and safety in a community traditionally under served in this area.
Thanks!

Hi all,
A fellow enthusiast started teaching firearms courses aimed at folks who aren't typically courted by the gun community. They've been doing this for free since the start of COVID and they are now looking to expand their operation and need to raise funds in order to keep it free. If you could chip in a few bucks to help with next year's expenses, you'll be making firearms proficiency more accessible to people who aren't welcome in other courses currently available.
Thanks!
YSK: The Search Engine Ecosia Plants Trees With Your Searches
Ecosia is a German search engine company which donates 80% of its revenue to planting trees. They take Bing, reskin it, and spend the profits from advertising on planting trees. They're up to about 175,000,000 trees so far.

Edit: This is just a convenient way to turn something you do every day (use a search engine) into a force for good. It's a slow process, 1 tree ≈ 45 searches, but you were going to make those searches anyway, might as well plant trees! Think of it as the digital equivalent of buying local food.
A court used an app called Covenant Eyes to surveil the family of a man released on bond. Now he’s back in jail, and tech misuse may be to blame.
A court used an app called Covenant Eyes to surveil the family of an Indiana man released on bond. Now he’s back in jail, and tech misuse may be to blame. The app flagged one of the family's devices as having accessed Pornhub even though it didn't, and this was the only evidence used to throw the man back in jail. They didn't even try to prove he was the one who caused the app to flag Pornhub as visited, they just assumed it was him. The article contains multiple levels of "oh my god our system is messed up."
