It's ok, I asked my dog and it explicitly consented.

Still no? Alright, let me put the dog on.

This is the dog, I don't mind being monitored. Go ahead and explain it to the human.

Vatican approves blessings for same-sex couples in landmark ruling

TeChNiCaLlY, under Catholic doctrine, being sexually attracted to or being in love romantically with someone of the same sex haven't ever been a sin. Just having sex with them is. What's new is that they are now willing to bless your sexless non-marriage homo life partnership. It's simultaneously useless to any gay Catholics, and a huge middle finger to the more conservative side of the church.

A crystal's resonant frequency is determined by its size and shape as well as it's material. The quartz crystals used in watches and other precision crystal oscillators are machined very exactly. Even then it's not that they can't vibrate at other frequencies, they're just not good at it.

Judge: Amazon “cannot claim shock” that bathroom spycams were used as advertised

None of the police actually ate Afroman's lemon pound cake, just one stared longingly at it for an awkwardly long amount of time, lol. Let's not muddy the waters by accusing those police of something they didn't do, and focus on the blatantly provable (lack of real probable cause, intentionally sabotaging his cameras) and the alleged but highly plausible ("miscounting" some of his cash into their own pockets).

Typical mass market eggs are unfertilized, but eggs from smaller scale or hobby farms are usually fertilized. On a small scale, it's easier to keep the hens safe from wildlife with a rooster around, but on a large scale they're just a waste of feed. If you're curious, fertilized eggs have a tiny red dot in the egg white.

a nice problem to have

I wish Windows handled this more gracefully. I ran into one where the secondary monitor woke up first and it would cram all open windows and desktop items onto one screen every time it woke from sleep. Frustrated the user. Fix ended up being to swap the display port plugs. Hasn't been an issue since.

Yeah, it's weird but hear me out. What they're referring to is a latte macchiato, which is the opposite of the traditional espresso machiatto you're familiar with. The word macchiato translates as "marked". So an espresso machiatto is an espresso that is marked (with milk), and a latte macchiato is milk with only a marking of espresso. Confusing if you've only heard of one of them, but it does make sense. A lot of Americans are only familiar with the latte macchiato, and major chain shops like Starbucks don't even know what an espresso macchiato is.

TIL I'm gay? I actually carried around a copy of D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths in my backpack, and I have basically zero attraction to other men. Then again, I was over it by high school, so maybe that's why I'm not gay.
