Fuuuuck. 2026 is the worst year… yet!

Many prescription medications are dead simple to produce, especially the latest biologics. I could make my own professionally and in quantity with only about $500k in startup costs.

You and I both. I have nostalgia from years of using it in grad school for R. I found Kate is pretty close, but NPP runs fine in Bottles.

OMG this is great. Thanks for the recommendation!

It’s also a great game if you like solving complicated puzzles. Last I knew, there are some that are still unsolved.

Their daughter is 16, the boyfriend 18.

Edit: it clicked after I posted. You mean it’s more than “mildly”. Agreed.

Brain no work today.

No kidding. For anyone else who might wait 5 minutes for it to load, just unmute it. It starts playing immediately.

I was born on January 1st, whichever year before 2000 that I first click on.

The Dinka of South Sudan, likely the tallest people in the world, average just over 180 cm, so I wouldn’t call a 180 cm woman average, no.

Morticia Addams from the Addams Family comics fits the requirements of the post’s hypothetical goth girl save for being estimated as about 5’11/180 cm, much taller than the listed 5’3/160 cm. The comics and Carolyn Jones’s portrayal (dating myself harder than C-14 here) are also where a very young SoleInvictus first realized they have a thing for pale women in elegant dark clothing with eccentric personalities, hence her being my gateway goth girl.

It’s Morticia Addams, my gateway goth girl.

Edit: oops, she’s like 1.8 meters tall.

Ooof, the blurb about haybox food safety needs to be corrected. Some microbes create secondary metabolites which cause illness. Reboiling won’t destroy them.

It’s a connector for an IBM 7000 series mainframe.

You might be surprised! My uncle is 170 cm tall, his wife about 165, and two of their sons are about 170. Their third son is nearly 195 cm. Yes, he’s their biological child - we’ve checked!

Both my aunt and uncle had tall fathers and very short mothers. Height is polygenic (multiple genes are responsible), so my cousin won the height allele lottery and inherited a higher proportion of the height increasing traits both parents carried, making him a height outlier.

Wow, you’re completely right and I never recognized this before. I’m your quintessential cat person. I’ve lived with cats since the day I was born. They cuddled with me in my crib. My first word was cat. We joked that I was raised by cats. I’m just used to cats and don’t often think about their behavior.

My partner is a dog person, so now we have a mixed family. When the dogs cross a boundary, we do something to correct their behavior and there is the expectation their behavior will change. If it doesn’t, we adjust our response until it does. When cats cross a boundary, we still do something to correct the behavior, but entirely expect the cat will continue doing it and respond no differently when they continue with the original behavior.
