Getting prion disease from crops?

Really cool collection, and not one I’ve seen before! Makes me appreciate my OCTA pass 😊

I wouldn't call you broken, just as I wouldn't call an asexual broken. I do think there are men out there who wish they could be more vulnerable though, and if the current culture stops or hinders that I think they deserve to say something too.

I’ve anecdotally had a fine time using Apple Maps since I switched a few years ago. Just wanted to mention there is a setting to avoid tolls; Settings->Maps->Driving will bring up a toggle. It’ll still give you the option, but it won’t default if it’s the shortest route.

Yeah, I joke that California does have four seasons - they're just Summer, Wildfire, and Mudslide. Possible Earthquake to shake things up.

But to be fair, it is a long state. SoCal gets most of the attention, but NorCal gets some great seasons as you get closer to the PNW

You'd think, but it can be difficult to save up moving costs for a long distance haul + deposits + getting a new job lined up while living paycheck to paycheck.

Long time resident of California (SoCal in particular), can confirm haughtiness. I've grown increasingly prideful of my state for holding strong on specific human right issues.

You're also right about the increasing disparity though. It feels like stratification is getting stronger and stronger each year. The Beach Cities area in particular, from my experience, where they're building a bunch of (very expensive) flats. California has had a history of states shipping homeless/refugees to us and that doesn't help our increasing number of state-grown displacements.

My main issue is title formatting. I don't dislike the TIL bot, but I do dislike the long title being cut off in my app.

Cheaper and easier to use an arrow, bird might not agree though.

Header got cut off for me; full quote for anyone else it happened to.

DeVoe sat in the control room and quietly listened to the recordings, and pressed the band at the end on why there was no "Blink-182 good-time summer anthem [thing]". DeLonge and Hoppus were furious, remarking, "You want a fucking single? I'll write you the cheesiest, catchiest, throwaway fucking summertime single you've ever heard!"[1][5] Hoppus went home and wrote "The Rock Show" in ten minutes, and DeLonge similarly wrote "First Date", which became the most successful singles from the record and future live staples.[4]

Since you mentioned BSG, I wanted to recommend Babylon 5. It’s got a cohesive story planned from the get go, and is as good as space opera gets IMHO. There are plenty of historical parallels to draw, my favorite being the Roman Republic inspired Centauri. (Commercial TV from the 90s, so nothing R rated here.)

More recent, and more historical, would be the German Netflix series Barbaren (Barbarians). It might be too roman history focused for your tastes, but it got a glowing review from my family abroad. (I do believe this has more gore and sexual content, I just don't remember to what extent.)

All I know is I'm a right proper Kent
