I had a partner once who sat straight up in bed and announced, “Somesone else is in here.” They then promptly fell back asleep…me, not so much…

So similar stuff has happened throughout history with the coming of more advanced technology. There use to be entire rooms of secretaries in order to do clerical work that has been replaced by Microsoft Office Suite. Their replacement by technology did not cause a total collapse of society so I don’t see why this would?

It might make the world worse and drive down the standard of living for many but a total upheaval? If humans made it through the industrial age we’ll likely make it through the second technology age too. We won’t be unscathed but mankind survived the invention of the computer which was probably equally (or maybe more) disruptive.

Didn’t Sparta have a similar belief as far as honoring women who died in childbirth equally to men who died in battle?

Yeah, coding skills are the only relevant skills…especially for combating climate change…

So the definition of literacy that they use for those stats is a super low bar. Like the bar is lying on the ground. The National Assessment of Adult Literacy defines literacy as “the ability to use printed and written information to function in society, to achieve one’s goals, and to develop one’s knowledge and potential.” That’s not a high bar to clear and the literacy rate, in the US at least, is still only about 80%.

I also drive a stick, put the car in gear when you get to the light.

Your gut reaction being to go immediately to 100 miles an hour is probably the ADHD. Most of us hyperfixate really easily and jump into things with both feet. That said, in my personal experience, we also tend to hyperfixate on hobbies in a certain “category”. If your a sports person, or hiking person, or craft person, or theater person you’ll regularly hyperfixate on things that surround your “main” interests. (Sometimes we also go wildly off script but most ADHDers I know eventually circle back to their core interests.)

That said it’d be smart to get a basic understanding of camping in first because you can use it as a springboard for future hyperfixations. This was you’ll have the basic knowledge and equipment when your focus changes to ultra light, or extreme conditions, or rafting to camp spots. Etc. There is no escaping the dopamine hyperfixation train so you just have to learn systems that help you do it with minimal negative consequences.

Not maybe, yes. Thats what it means. “Water ditching” is a common colloquial name for an “emergency water landing” which is a type of emergency landing. A plane doing a nose dive straight into the water is not an emergency landing. That’s just a run of the mill crash.

The US forest service says it’s 90% but I’m not sure where they get that number from either.

The lungs could be in the human half but just be far larger than typical human lungs. If the organs in the lower part of a human torso are in the horse half it would make room for more lung in the human torso. I don’t imagine you want too much room between the nose/mouth and the lungs if you can help it.

I understood it to mean they were in radio contact after the crash. Why even mention radio contact from before the crash?

I’ve had one that used baked beans in place of the pork. It was delicious. From the examples I’ve seen the cup started from food trucks where it was more convenient to had out a cup than a plate. Now restaurants are picking up the cup thing cause it’s a “trend”.

Not the person you were responding too but I’d love to learn more about these toys/tech. Are there some key words that would help me search? I’m having some trouble sifting through the search results.

Because it’s a fanfic entirely written using the world that Rowling setup in her original series. You can’t just publish something that heavily based on already published works.

Trump already doesn’t listen to any voice but his own.

It looks like he has chrome pinned to his task bar in the bottom left.

That such a perfect misspelling from a sovcit that it’s almost a Freudian slip.

What are the chances the upvotes are fake though?

It’s not the King, the Thai king is a useless playboy. It’s the Thai military who’ve held power for a decade. The Military Junta wants to dissolve their rival and are just trying to use the King as the excuse.

Is that a Tardis blanket?
