Ope, jinx. Just adding that to my comment when you commented. 🍻

Digital microscopes are very affordable. Basic models up to 1000x can be found for 50 USD.

Break one up and look at the different layers under magnification.

Aka baby teeth or primary teeth or deciduous teeth

Russell Brand and the recent revelations that he's abusive and probably a rapist.

He gave me danger vibes from the very beginning, all the way back to 2008ish. I was actually surprised when it broke news this year; I had assumed he'd been caught way earlier and was already through the "apologizes" / stays off social media for 6 months / comes back "enlightened" / media forgets about his crimes cycle.

1. your written English is great

2. conversation does not need to be debate. What these people really want is to talk. Ask questions, like "what evidence did you find most convincing?" Odds are they won't even notice you didn't agree with them, they just want to be heard.

3. there doesn't need to be a conversation at all. Drift out of these sorts of conversations or change the topic. I can't imagine a scenario in which debating the existence of aliens with a coworker would be worth my energy.

Heh. Who saw this coming when Musk initially got involved in Twitter?

Bought. Tanked. Paying a 00's celebrity to endorse a pink icon. Next up is hire Aaron Carter to sign the app startup jingle? But only for paying subscribers though, ofc.

Of some formulations, yes, there is a shortage going on like a year now. Nothing in the article indicates that it is why this dude isn't having his prescription made available to him.

"[...] despite not having his prescribed dose of Adderall during trial hours."

So he's not being given his full prescribed amount? WTF. Give it to him.

I don't really care if this guy is trying to use ADHD as an excuse for his crimes or not. I DO NOT want judges and lawyers deciding if I really need my prescribed meds or if maybe I can get by on half. I would call that a human rights violation.

Just give him his damn prescribed meds. Full stop. His ADHD is then off the table as a possible excuse.

0% surprised by this.

Nah, some Catholica do. Some are pissed a Jesuit priest, among the most progressive of orders, is the pope.

Also, his word isn't as binding as you think unless he speaks ex cathedra, which no Pope has done in decades outside canonizing saints. The pope can say all he wants about gay marriage or global warming or whatever, it's not binding unless he says it ex cathedra and it will be a cold day in hell before he does something like that. It would split the church apart immediately.

Unmoderated cesspool. Even the most benign videos have bigoted chaos gremlins spewing their shit in the comments.

A couple got caught behind the high school. Girl giving the blowie was made to apologize to the school over the PA system and then "encouraged" to go to a different school where she would "fit in better". Boy got no punishment.
