I've heard many people say that mining the strait would harm Iran in the long run, but why couldn't they have mines they can remotely disable? That seems like a simple technology on the scale of what militaries routinely do.
High perplexity tweet.
Somehow after turning 40 I developed an intense desire to wear novelty socks. I don't know how it happened. It was like a salmon swimming home.

I only use naturally occurring text. Palmistry, augury, divination, that sort of thing.
Hypothesis: newsletters sell much better than any other form of media because they give you access to an exclusive club that can participate in discourse.
Does trump changing his mind cause Iran to change its mind?
I just saw this emoji for the first time today, by accident, in the emoji picker. Reportedly it was added in 2020. How have I never seen it? It's so evocative.

Why hasn't this made oil prices hit a bajillion?

LOL, I should have checked. Gender Reveal has a section, unfortunately not ranked.
A Wikipedia article I would enjoy:

I am genuinely excited for this movie in a way i have not been in a very long time
1. The really good coffee shop in my small town seems to thrive
2. Spring
3. The crazy advances in vaccines and medicine in general these last few years
Also important to note that when you pit your credentials against reality, reality doesn't lose.
Maybe D&D should add a Bard ability to time travel through song.
1. Geese
2. Watching my older kid play Pokemon Legends ZA
3. Batteries, like, seriously the government of Poland tried to tweak the rules of its last capacity auction to favour gas but about 2.5GW of gas and at least 2.5GW of batteries got contracted capacity payments. Big batteries gonna go nuts.
1. Enchiladas
2. Spring rains and spring sports
3. Athletic’s Lite
In times like this it's nice that california has no tall buildings so they'll have to kill us one person at a time.
1. Our whole family now all has bikes that fit for the first time in 10 years and we discovered some incredible creek bike trails nearby.
2. A park near us has a regular pair of bald eagles that we're hoping will nest soon.

This site needs a break. Post 3 good things, none of which are the cessation of a negative.

Did kids' graphic novels explode in popularity as a direct consequence of 3 cueing?
This is a really key benefit of a parliamentary system. The voters don't have to carefully track who did things to know what happened.

I don't really begrudge the people who turn off QTs once the crowd QTing this finds their posts, but I think it is good for the world to let it keep spreading into those spaces in the hopes that repeated exposure will crack the door a little.
I love how if the dandelion fluff is dense enough it starts to almost look like fog.
