If you think that's scary.. add in that we have revived viruses tens of thousands of years old, that there is permafrost containing dead animals and humans that will have actively infectious things modern humans - or possibly any humans that survived - have never before seen in them, and that our actions are heating the planet (there was a good The Atlantic article on it at one stage).

I only date back to about 1988 for "proper" computers myself (mostly a Commodore before that - but with both a tape and a floppy drive!), but recall how exciting it was figuring out how things work - and break - and discussing with others at school and around the place. First software, then hardware. And how sharp the internals of cases were in those early days of (my) assembling and fixing computers. Almost as if they demanded blood sacrifice! ... and of course those bloody fiddly little metal finger screws on the sides of those cables! And how even rocking up to a parts supplier meant people would - excitedly, not with excess ego - be willing to discuss the interesting things they had figured out or were trying. Much more cohesive and welcoming than when eventually things became more.. mainstream.
Munchkin isn't a breed as it is nornally used, it's the name of the mutation that gives short legs. So you can get a very wide variety of munchkins. Scottish Fold munchkin kittens are especially cute!
The article ends with the question: "After all, who better to advise on special ways to display art than an artist?" I answer: an art curator. In this context artists are like architects - they have lots of interesting ideas but probably need engineers to actually make them useful in practice.
Exactly my thought. Looking it up, the artist recommending it lives in South Carolina (Charleston) - known to have reasonable sun levels and heat according to my quick google. Hopefully she only does it with art I consider sacrificable.
Maybe holds the record of holding the most, most contrived records? Mind you STEM is good so maybe I will let him off lightly? I also note the two most recent stories there place him in both Iowa and Idaho. Maybe he moves around a lot? (The third and fourth both too show Idaho tho fo' sho')
Technically it's only "jellyfishes" when you are specifically referring to a set of more than one species or type (specifically - not just the collective of all or multiple jellyfish). Same as with "fish/fishes." Your source uses it correctly but you are not.
People should be aware that shoes with no instep support can wreck your feet though. Especially unsuited to the flat footed - who need solid arches to shape/support the feet or can regret it (back and foot problems later in life).
"Human". This is the way of all signs in the zodiac because we are not affected by which constellation was on the other side of the sun when we were born. Even buying into stars that happen to look like a particular shape from Earth's slim (very very) reference point somehow having some impact on us, unless the sun were some magical lens (it isn't, other than maybe a gravitational lens - is your magical effect subject to gravity?) it should have less chance to magically influence us when there is a giant ball of fusion between us and it. Well, sort of between us and it - 1/12th of 360 degrees is friggin' huge... the only thing the zodiac and horoscopes is good for is encouraging self analysis and introspection. We humans are pattern seeking creatures who will always be able to find a pattern in any claim or chaos if we look hard enough. There are however better ways to consider ones' strengths and weaknesses. Talk to a friend, meditate, take long walks on the beach. Whatever. Never pay a charlatan for unscientific nonsense - they either know they are taking advantage of you and should be avoided or don't and it's even sadder, and should be avoided. If you desperately need professional help then pay a counsellor - sure they are not perfect, but are far more likely to be based in reality than someone who is willing to claim distant stars are influencing how good your Tuesday is.
That dead cat piece in the middle of the photo... beyond weird ... especially since nobody seems to mention it in the article either. They had a chance with that "most unique piece" question and missed it...
They serve part of the same function but only a very limited part (like any coffee machine). And also produce terrible coffee in my experience. Maybe I am being as biased against it as I think others are against instant (though I have visited the US and had what I was told is "good" drip filter coffee, and have tried them here also), but they seem a poor compromise: doing only part of the job and doing that part badly ).
You can get "tea drinker (electric) kettles" here that let you select what temperature they heat to. I gave my mum one as a present once. She used it every day for years. It also had LEDs that changed the colour of the water as it heated (green, then blue, then through purples to a deep red).
I find it interesting the the USA is so short on electric kettles. Even with the 110V vs 220 (etc) thing, you'd think there would be a way. Every home (or very, very close to) has one here in Oz. Used for tea, coffee*, cooking, cleaning, etc. All sorts of uses. *I know people in the USA have issues with instant coffee. They should try some good instant (Lavazza, Moccona).
