Ah, the tragedy of any in-joke. If not everyone is in on the joke, eventually it stops being a joke.

You should definitely assemble a new scene with this one as a casualty on the ground! It looks very naturally damaged.

Which pro-nuclear posters are pro-fossil fuels and anti-turbine? I've never encountered anyone like that.

I'm going to go a different direction and argue that the RS232 has always been the most androgynous and third-sex of the connectors because:

  • the female connector is most frequently the one that's a cable
  • the male connector is most frequently directly connected to an appliance
  • the male has the pin prongs, but is almost always recessed.
  • the female connector has the the prong holes, but almost always juts out.

Who's connecting to who? Who's the top and who's the bottom? Who wears the pants? No one knows.

Since guns weren't rifled yet, this gun increased your chances of hitting one guy to almost eighty percent!

I don't know how much weight I put on a British person's opinion on issues relating to the Irish and Ireland.

Eh, I think you might think heat pumps are more complicated than they are. I think they're about as complicated as a furnace. At the end of the day, in both your just pumping a gas from one place to another, changing the state of the gas, and then running that past air to heat or cool it.

Sometimes you don't want that :)

Sure, my work uses discord, and I know friends that use it. But my family doesn't. Plus, if you do sales, or job searching, or anything that involves talking to people for work who don't directly work for your company then Discord is a little awkward. A phone or zoom call is better.

China has a bad ratio of young people to old people. They have a lot of people, but as the population ages there will be fewer working people supporting more retired people. It's not just about money either. There are a finite number of nurses or caretakers in a country at any given time, so it will mean higher ratio of people needing care to those able to give it. It's a complex issue that almost every country is going to be dealing with more in the future, but China will probably feel it more than average.

Same with the Virginias.
