Sonia Sodha is still a contributor to The Guardian and is a massive TERF. The Guardian is one of the better news outlets in the UK, but so long as they give her a platform, fuck them.

!showerthoughts@lemmy.world would also be appropriate, though the mods might disagree.

A loincloth does typically go between the legs, kind of like a traditional diaper. It's not just two flaps.

Inspect for yourself.

Nah, that's a conference venue. You're thinking of the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center & Fairgrounds in Oaks, Pennsylvania.

Likewise, I avoid Reddit as much as I can; I found the AMA with a web search.

Sad for sure, but the person running the AMA is comically tone-deaf and unprepared.

Great post.

Here's the Dreadmoor AMA on r/pcgaming on Reddit. It's a disaster.

The sort of end user that gets common sense stuff wrong is not the sort of end user that would ever have read the documentation anyway 🤷

On Saturday April 19th he met with Pietro Parolin. This was framed as a snub. On Sunday 20th he met with Francis.

I'm never sure when it's really off

I'm all for alternative milks, but you'll know when the milk's really off. If it smells farmyard-y and a little sour, it's probably on its last day but it won't hurt you. When it's splitting, it's no good.

I only say this because I know way too many people who dump milk that's still got the best part of a week on it because it's got any sort of smell, and it's super wasteful.

(For those not from the UK, "butty" is another word for a piece.)

There's a weird thing here. I totally accept that the traditional tongue map is pseudoscience and debunked, but if you're paying attention to something like wine or good chocolate, letting it spread across your whole tongue really does seem change the flavor and bring new aspects to what you're tasting.

My subjective impression is that there is some effect to exposing the whole tongue to a stimulus, and I'd really like to understand it more - but when you search the web, you pretty much just get deconstructive articles about the old model, and not much about what might actually be happening.

Unless he's livestreaming and the tutorial boss is handing him his ass while viewers are asking him about his multiple failed relationships.

I can imagine Laurence Olivier in The World At War would be good for this!

Old English great "big, thick, stout, coarse" from West Germanic grauta- "coarse, thick" (source also of Old Saxon grot)

(Trimmed for humor, but not otherwise changed).

This is Stupendemys geographicus from Urumaco, Venezuela, and Rodolfo Sánchez from Coro, Venezuela.

You were right the first time - they're CRISPR-edited gray wolves engineered to exhibit the physical traits they found in dire wolf DNA.

There's an 80-gene difference between dire wolves and gray wolves, and they've modified 14 of what they felt to be the most variant differences.

It's still fascinating and tremendously difficult, and probably the best we can hope for in a very long time, but I don't feel Colossal are being totally honest in their presentation.

I don't know anything about insects and spiders, but maybe some sort of running crab spider, e.g. Philodromus cespitum?
