I give out microwaves when people let me turn into traffic.

I noticed this when following up the references on the terrible "In Defense of Merit in Science" article. It's a fascinating community.

A blonde man wearing yellow framed mirrored glasses snaps his fingers to a fresh song on his red headphones, oblivious to or unconcerned with the train approaching behind him. 
From his mouth a cigarette is dangling. In his hand, a pack is gripped. "Puffin" brand logo out. Two popping out the top, ready to go. 
His t-shirt is orange with "Keep on puffin" emblazoned above the image of a Joe Camel type puffin mascot smoking a cigarette with an electric guitar (cropped). 
Next to the train tracks are three children, shouting and pointing to the train. None of them have cigarettes.

The Hard Rock brand was founded on these mottos, and we believe that in emblazoning these mottos on the empircally dead moon, we are living that best life.

Whoa, neat! I wouldn't have noticed the subtending of the sunken antheridial chambers by scales and just assumed it was makinoa crispata.

It's exceptionally fun to find strangers on social media celebrating something and just encourage them.
"Happy birthday!"
"Your poem made me appreciate my fridge!"
"You'll be an asset to the field!"

It seems to be the difference in mass and power with the article calling for a more homogeneous fleet.

I'm sure this would work out for some but what an odd expectation to be paid in your own Property Brokerage.
They're a 90s band but they need to bring their practices into Century 21 and respect artists as Professionals.

Phones can be addictive for a lot of people.
Not like nicotine addictive, but it's important not to take away children's freedom to smoke.

Yes! Ergonomics is an important consideration, especially when a study calls for the euthanisation of a large quantity of cats.

I suspect they're leveraging the traditional angle first, else p.weraroa is a very odd variety to start with

You can type in "twitter" with just the top row of your keyboard, but "bluesky" has a couple loops.
Maybe a coincidence, or maybe twitter was built for computer keyboards and bsky was made for mobile.
Very cool talking about the app on the app.

Palmerston North is 90% road.
I don't understand how increased roads and focus on cars is appealing

"Heat is natural" the evolved primate tapped with opposable thumbs against fire-crystallized sand, his thoughts translated into howl-less sentiments, now to glyphs, and then small bolts of lightning which travelled invisibly through a series of storm-cages to glow from the day-boxes of other apes.

Taylor was an excellent student and her project on land reclamation went above and beyond. Her mark reflected this.
I am not sure what to make of the complaint.
The syllabus was quite clear that she would be graded on a curve.
