Dread it, run from it…

That really was great, thank you!

Mmm, high tea… Haven’t played that in a while.

I understand the saliva has a benefit for mosquitoes, but not the swelling and the itching (the “unpleasantness” in the title). In essence, our bodies hung this not-otherwise-useful allergic response on something the mosquitoes couldn’t/wouldn’t/didn’t give up and which was firmly specific to their bites, to single them out.

If there was no saliva our bodies would be pressured by natural selection to pick some other mechanism to make their bites unpleasant. An allergy to their chitin or a phobia to the sound of their wings, etc.

Evolutionary pressure from mosquitoes has probably been no small thing.

The image just loaded very slowly for me (i.e. after about 10 seconds). In some posts it never loads at all, but there is a thumbnail in the main screen. This is on sync.

It also propels itself forward by discharging high velocity watermarks.

Finnala.

Her name is a nod to her Indian heritage on her mother’s side and in her 2019 memoir, Harris wrote that she pronounced it “Comma-la” and that it means “lotus flower.” […] Still, Trump continues to say “Kah-MAH-la.”

I was sure this was going to be the other way around. Strange and less bad than I expected. It’s mostly just an accent thing, not a change in sounds.

When the war was obviously in the ‘last stand’ phase for the Imperial Japanese Navy, they sent their pride, the largest battleship in the world, Yamato, with just nine light escorts to run itself aground on the shore of Okinawa island and act as an unsinkable fortress there. Unfortunately it had to go past about eleven carriers with almost 400 aircraft and… it didn’t make it.

NoSpotOfGround ,

Does that mean 15? Sure, that’s probably normal.

Americans are weird.

What’s insane about that assumption? People had very limited information in the past. You see this, you think giant vicious fierce carnivore. You see this or this, you think giant one-eyed human.

And those are the skulls of hippos and elephants. What would you imagine when you see this then?

I guess I assumed that was sarcasm…

A study finds Indonesia’s deforested land is often left idle. But some see potential in that (apnews.com)

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Years after being felled, vast swathes of Indonesia’s old-growth forests are left sitting idle. And when the land is finally put to use, it’s most often for new palm oil plantations, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences....

Fun fact I read once: The most common last name in Hungary is not Magyar but actually Horvath. Which in Hungarian means “Croat”.

And Croatia is not even a directly neighboring country anymore. So it’d be like the most common name in America being Johnny Guatemala.

Thank you for the kind presumption, but I actually fucked it up and scrambled up my geography, @bokster was right to correct me. I looked at a map before I wrote that, too, and I still read it wrong. I’m not even sure what i thought was between them…

At least they’d have a new, renewable energy source and reduced energy consumption.

    President Macron says France and its allies 'could have stopped' the 1994 Rwanda genocide (apnews.com)

    French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday that France and its allies could have stopped the 1994 Rwanda genocide but lacked the will to do so, a strong declaration ahead of the African country’s 30th anniversary of the slaughter that left over 800,000 people dead....

    TIL, thank you.

    No, not really. This has been happening for almost a decade, it’s not something that just started.

    A two-track mind.

    Is there any medicine that can give me happy hormones and does not need a doctor's prescription?

    Things are becoming more depressing every day and I can’t afford for professionals and don’t want to jump to the last resort or drugs. Is there a medicine that can make me happy if I take it in proper doses and does not require a doctor’s prescription?

    Whenever cognitive behavioral therapy is mentioned with an initialism there’s this risk of losing it to immature giggling when you substitute that other meaning for “CBT”…

    I met someone named McCool once. I thought that was pretty cool.

    I think it’s this one. Attacked twice, probably partially sunk in port.

    The insert b&w photo is of another ship sunk a couple of days ago by drone boats, with great footage (sopuli.xyz/post/8635610). It’s the small one in the row above the circled ship.

    The small “Ivanovets” in the center, the row above the circled one, I believe: sopuli.xyz/post/8635610.

    It might have started with a lowered barrel and there might be a hidden girder under the barrel which raised the whole tank up as the barrel slid forward over that girder. The tank does look like it’s leaning back on its suspension.

    Wait, what game is RP-1?

    Oh, that sounds fantastic, I’ll have to look for it! Thanks!

    I’m kinda glad stainless steel corrodes in the end. Else it would become a micro-fragment polluter like plastic.

    I disagree.

    KDE 4 was such a disappointment. Made me switch to Gnome too. The only bigger disappointment for me was Amarok’s change.

    Because some people will get harder questions than others in certain sessions, and people will not feel they got an equally difficult exam as others. And they’d be right.

    Oh, ok, it seems I was the one who didn’t know enough about this. I didn’t realize in Korea they did all sections in one day. That’s unheard of where I’m from… They’re always on different days. Hard to justify, indeed.

    For anyone else wondering, like me: “Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions is a Palestinian-led movement promoting boycotts, divestments, and economic sanctions against Israel.”
