They'll demand medical records of alleged trans children, surveillance data of pregnant women crossing State lines, and doctors who "improperly" use the mail system, but handing over a practically made up law enforcement "agent" caught on camera killing a woman in cold blood? Now that's crossing a line.

Knight moves rules means the same number cannot be on a knights (chess piece) move location from itself. It adds some interesting strategy.

Thermometers are lines on the board with a defined end that must increase from one end to the other.

You can have unique solvable sudoku puzzles without any numbers on it, only thermometers.

But you might be being sarcastic....

Anyway cracking the cryptic puzzles are some of the most fun you can have counting to 9.

Told me I was probably over reacting and didn't see things properly when I sent him a video of my neighbor loading a rifle outside our apartment and looking into our window.

I'd just had a blow-up with his roommate/girlfriend about him idling his truck for an excessive amount of time outside our bedroom window every morning, five minutes later he screeches back into the parking lot, drops the lift gate, pulls out a rifle and starts loading it. I got it all on camera because I saw him jump out of the truck looking pissed. Sent the video to the parent and asked him WTF I should do, he said I'm probably over reacting and he had probably simply forgotten it in his truck and was taking it home.

He literally looked at something I was experiencing and told me I wasn't seeing what I saw. This was just 1 more straw and it finally broke my back. He taught me gun safety, fucking cowardly despicable human.

These days I regret not turning him in for the things I'd found on his computer. That should've sealed the deal a long time ago, but kids are dumb and now I'm sure the evidence is gone, and I'm happy to just be done with the waste of breath.

Why do we give good headlines to the bad ones who stumble into the right thing, and the negative headlines to the good ones who stumble.....

Yeah great, Ford has the right stance on Trump.

Fuck them both.

Fucking amazing how much backlash this will get,

But Trump does the same things with Putin and we all just let it go

I'm excited for all the disposable AAA gaming income that can now go to indie developers.....

You guys are going to monetarily support indie developers right?

Yes but a different #after your letter, you've flipped the board

No but yes

Our first at 39, considering more in the future,

Wouldn't have wanted to do it before 35 at least, that's around when we started casually discussing.

Love this little guy so much.

Wouldn't have wished the lifestyle on anyone under 30. Teenage pregnancy should be considered child abuse for both parties.

And I'm sure teen girls will do similar to each other as well. Teenagers suck. Whataboutism sucks too, I should get off the Internet if I'm going to be a problem.

Only just realizing Rosanne Barr and Rosie O'Donnell are different people....

I'm not much a fan of either, but I really despise the one of them (Rosanne)

"look at this gif, it's Michelle Obama's penis"

Fuck man I kinda enjoyed your company, but you're clearly a moron...

Cracking the cryptic has some of the most fun sudoku variants, for when you're done just using standard sudoku rules (knights move, thermometers, moving boxes. A bunch of wild stuff, and their apps will give you intelligent hints in case you get stuck!)

Art is suffering?

Why should an aspiring artist starve before they gain notoriety?

I think we should fund everyone's way of life with a universal income, but we aren't doing that, I don't fault an artist for trying to find a way to survive this capitalist hellscape. Guaranteed income to write a book that might gain you enough of an audience so you can leave product placement behind, I don't blame the artist.

Do you think art should only be produced by those with existing means?

I mean, that's a more guaranteed way to make a living than hoping the next book will be as well received as the previous one.

We as a society need to step and and support the arts, in the meantime some private companies are doing more for the arts than the consumers are.

From "Keith" in the comments, "You bought a Cyber truck because you wanted attention. You're getting attention. What's your beef?"

Couldn't agree more

Okay, as a biologist it really upsets me how that phrase is written off. I did an impromptu half hour lecture for my wife about how significant "the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell" is,

The mitochondria is what ties everything on this planet together, it's the one thing that ties all life together, it is the exact same mechanism in plants as it is in animals, it takes the same ingredients and does the same function, and comes from the same origin.

There is no chain in our DNA that codes for the mitochondria, it exists outside of our DNA, it has no relationship with our DNA, it only fuels reading DNA and it's decoding and replication, but it isn't included in our genetics. It replicates itself, it exists as a separate entity, and it acts as the functioning unit for all energy within the cell.

It would be like if when a child was born their lungs were provided by an outside source and had the same genetic material as everyone else's lungs. Oh and puppy lungs, and crab lungs, and avocado lungs, and grass lungs, every single living thing on this plant has the same lung genetic material. And it has no clue that it serves this function, all it knows is ADP goes in, ATP goes out, and ATP is energy that fuels all function of all life.

And it comes from the friggin mitochondria.

Please be impressed with that little hitch hiker, it is the powerhouse that powers your neurons, grows the vegetables you eat, and makes life happen on earth.

How will we know something extraterrestrial comes our way? They'll have their own mitochondria, because something needs to power their cells, and it won't be the same as ours.

Writing off the mitochondria from biology is like writing off the exchange of goods in economics, or doing physics without the concept of mass, or art without feeling. There is nothing more basic, more fundamentally important to biology than the existence of the mitochondria, and it's role as the powerhouse of the cell.

MITOCHONDRIA IS THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL. That you know that makes me happy.

And in other things you've read about on the Internet, I have a 14 inch penis.

Such a free speech absolutist. Wanting the government to compel companies to pay to speak on the private platform that he owns. Some real Trickle down free speech

We're entirely fucked, and this seems to be the only thread about it, it's not gotten much activity. Either people are writing their paragraphs (thanks for not using AI to make your opinions for you), or we're all feeling about as motivated as I am right now (or less so?) or people just aren't going to engage....

I've never felt worse for my country than I do today, and I thought it couldn't get worse than yesterday, at least tomorrow is looking up right?
