Hands down immich.

I'm not saying the same thing as him. This isn't "culture war bullshit going global," as if Fox News and the War on Christmas drove this.

Ok generational assumptionlottapus

In no universe is 67 farther up the chain than 69.

I'm not who you were responding to, but first borns certainly aren't necessary. High fertility, low marriage age places like West Africa (Niger in particular has an average of 7 births per woman) meet the 15-20 range pretty spot on. A woman can easily have a child every year or so from 15 to 20, then they sort of coast to a stop by their late 20s. The majority of births are early because their so close together.

Average reported marriage age of women in Niger is 19... I've lived there, and in the village, it's 15 or 16. I have seen 9 year olds get "married" but it was really more like a reservation to get real married when she's 15 or so. Even using official stats, 1 kid before 20 and 3 or 4 kids before age 25 is very achievable.

I have personally met 30-year old grandmothers there who didn't think anything of it. They're 75% of the way to average life expectancy anyways.

I would say an average of 5 mothers per century up to 1850 or 1900 sounds about right, and is still a fairly conservative figure.

Ugh, undercooked chicken? But I swear, it was on the grill long enough.

FWIW, this image is about Gerogia and how Russia has occupied 20% of it since 2008. They're still pretty pissed about it.

I'm genuinely curious why you think strongly there wouldn't be one.

It's the strongest economy in the region, with basketcase Zim and hot mess Moz right next door.

Now you're thinking with portals!

Yeah, good point. One time I tried to use a metal one with just room temp whiskey, it leaked all over for the same reason.

LOL. Xenophobia across Africa and human history is as old as time itself. Tribalism started with literal, actual tribes, you know. Same as it has in most places.

Would you like to see examples of modern xenophobia in Africa that predate your American notions of it?

Let's try... 1969!

Metal flasks are such a stupid gift.

You want whiskey? Buy a god damned bottle. A flask holds A big pour of liquid. You're going to bring a drink somewhere? Good one, Bevis.

Sneaking it into something? Nope, it's metal and clunky big.

Metal conducts heat, so your bodyheat hot whiskey will burn the whole time, no matter how good it is.

Be an adult and buy a plastic nalgeen flask you keep in your sock. Does the place do pat-downs? Ok, then chug 8 oz of whiskey in the parking lot like god intended. They can't take it from you when it's in you already. ; )

You laugh, but in 5 years, a metric butt ton of vibe coded projects will look exactly like this.

Anti? My friend, I'm asking how I can use stablecoins in my daily life without doxxing myself.

Like, is this practical for me or not? I'm genuinely asking.

“Yeah man, dang ol’ prime directive, man. Danged if you do, danged if you don’t dang ol’.”

Yep. Taken mine into Pitchfork, hockey games, and whatever else. Metal flasks are as useful as a plaque on a wall. Nice visually, not functionally.

And the Principal of Sunnydale High School!? No way.

That's the point of the phrase, but it may also be a product of an earlier time when tools were not as widely available and varied in quality. It may not mean the same thing today.

In a modern sense, a real master craftsman simply won't work with cheap, shoddy tools unless necessary. They will invest in the thing that let's them work. It's a tax write off anyway, it's worth the cost. You won't catch a world-renowned carpenter at Harbor Freight buying the cheapest just from the discount bin.

If anything, while it means in one sense that a poor craftsman will blame shitty tools, because a good craftsman won't suffer shitty tools in the first place.

Wired headphones are the only solution here.

As someone that lived through the analog to digital transition, please please please never hope to go back. There have been incredible gains in data storage, sharing, and analysis that have benefitted humanity in ways that are impossible to describe.

AI companies are not all that is digital technology. We had a quarter of a century with a solid digital infrastructure before they came along.
