Today you may be a youth, but you will be an old someday.

“The rule in question, known as Bredt’s rule in textbooks, was reported in 1924. It states that molecules cannot have a carbon-carbon double bond at the ring junction of a bridged bicyclic molecule, also known as the “bridgehead” position. The double bond on these structures would have distorted, twisted geometrical shapes that deviate from the rigid geometry of alkenes taught in textbooks.
…A paper published by UCLA scientists in the journal Science has invalidated that idea. They show how to make several kinds of molecules that violate Bredt’s rule, called anti-Bredt olefins, or ABOs, allowing chemists to find practical ways to make and use them in reactions.”

• What color was the ball?
  Grey, I suppose? It wasn’t important until this question so it was kind of colorless, even though I could picture it.

• What gender was the person that pushed the ball?
  Androgynous.

• What did they look like?
  Nondescript.

• What size is the ball? Like a marble, or a baseball, or a basketball, or something else?
  A bit larger than a softball.

• What about the table, what shape was it? What is it made of?
  It was a rectangular table. It shifted from being smooth and grey to a lightly finished maple, then back again.

• Important question:
  I didn’t really think about these details until asked.

My thoughts aren’t in a language, so this always confused me as a benchmark.

I live on the edge of a small town. Google numbers:

• To the nearest convenience store: 4.7km, 1hr 4min walk
• To the nearest chain supermarket: 21km, 4hr 38min walk
• To the nearest bus stop: 18km, 4hr 7min walk
• To the nearest park: 3.4km, 47 minute walk
• To the nearest library: 4.7km, 1hr 3min walk
• To the nearest train station: 20km, 4hr 31 minute walk

I haven’t played it myself, but I understand there are mods to remove nudity at least, and I would expect the sexual violence as well. That would be a requirement for me to try it.

Fear and Hunger is a contender. If you aren’t aware, imagine a JRPG where you kill god at the end, but you don’t ever level up. Also the first enemy you fight is very likely to kill you, and has just as much of a chance of doing so on your 100th playthrough. Oh, and you start from the beginning every time you die.

We all have a visceral reaction to this because we’ve had an adjacent experience at some point. You know it’s true.

The best tip I can give is to idle on a flat service with the clutch in, and slowly release it until the car starts moving. Your first time, do not touch the gas at all. Once you understand when the clutch “bites”, practice lightly adding some gas to the bite. Once you get the car moving, the rest of the gears are easy by comparison.

My dad spent a whole Saturday with me as a kid frustrated that I didn’t just “get it”. The next weekend I practiced by myself and did the above method and figured it out in about 15 minutes.

I would love a faithful adaptation of Worm, but I don’t think it could ever do the series justice.

It was maybe 7 years ago now, but I bought a dumb Sceptre TV and it still works great. Was only $300 at the time.

If you don’t mind using an exploit for the pantheons, Hollow Knight is a very fun game to 100%.

If you don’t use the exploit, you will become a shell of your former self.

I didn’t think I was old. Now I do.

The person who shot Ronald Reagan, their motive was wanting to impress Jodi Foster.

It is a luxury to not consider worrying about yourself as related to politics.

Not caring about politics is a luxury afforded by living in a country that has had at least a semi-functional political landscape for a while. Those who have lived under oppressive governments will be the first to tell you not to take for granted what you have.

Yes, it is worth the 3 hour watch time.

I’ve been saying since EVs hit the market that I couldn’t wait for them to be cheap enough used for me to justify purchasing one. That hasn’t happened yet. Most I’ve ever spent on a car was $7k.

This isn’t my POV, this is the reality of the performance conversations I’ve been involved with.

I upvoted your comment for being insightful, not trying to dismiss what you’re saying. I get where you’re coming from, and I agree that what you’re saying is likely true for most businesses, but there are other people who’s reality of conversations they have been involved with resulted in being fired unfairly.
