I threatened to make this on an episode of my podcast covering G-Witch, so now we must all suffer together.

My spouse: I was promised flying cars, and I don't even get a conversation pit!

They're not technically a non-profit, but there is a co-op doing exactly this named, very creatively, The Drivers Cooperative. They're only in Colorado and New York (and I think specifically NYC) right now, but it's exciting to see that happening.

I was actively taught in high school that "unions were nice, but not necessary any more, they get in the way of all our very cool free trade!"

Obviously, my thinking on that has changed a whole lot, but both my partner and I got fed that kind of rhetoric straight out of text books.

Just wondering if anyone else experiences this. Things like my hair laying on the side of my head or bracelets cause a medium-intense aching pain on my head or arm. Some days, I'll have a pretty bad headache just from wearing a shirt, and I'll occasionally just have to take it off. It sounds like a milder form of allodynia, maybe? I know touch sensitivity is definitely a thing, but I've never known anyone who experiences it quite this way. It definitely scales with how well rested I am, too.

Anywho, I've tried searching for this before, but it only somehow just now occurred to me to ask my fellow neuro-spicies if this is common. Thanks!

Oh, definitely. It's also worth noting that he definitely wasn't a geologist, despite having an interest in it. I was mostly just mentioning it because there were theories trying to explain the similarities across landmasses before plate tectonics. We may not always be right about why, but we're really good at noticing stuff like that (even when it doesn't mean anything).

FWIW, seconded. These look basically identical the grape hyacinth bulbs in my yard.

You can check by making a tea out of them. I don't recommend drinking it (it's mostly just "green" flavor), but it works as a pH indicator. If you add a bit of lemon juice, it should turn pink!

Darwin believed one of the more popular explanations of his time: expanding Earth theory. Basically, the planet was like an expanding dough ball. It decently explained why things looked like they fit together. Darwin even went out to Patagonia to investigate some cliffs, and basically "confirmed" the theory.

I did some reverse image searching and found this: https://www.comics.org/issue/222265/

I also found it for sale in eBay, so I'm bumping it up to 95%.

Because I was exhausted, I did a dumb and forgot to say the actual name of the place. We're Zymos Brewing in Littleton. Thanks to Spiralvortexisalie for being a sleuth and getting to it before me!

I think I accidentally pulled a kind of corollary to Cunningham's law: the best way to get engagement is to post with not quite enough information. 😆 But, yeah, that's us!

I've been a craft beer nerd for nearly a decade, and I've been working on getting a place open with my friends since 2019. We finally opened this weekend, and it was an absolute blast! We all think the beer turned out great, and apparently so did everyone else. If you happen to be in the area and have a chance to drop by, mention this post and have a pint on me! (I'm the dork on the left)

Pretty much every job. I think the paradigms in most modern languages are similar enough that the actual language doesn't matter as much as how you think about structuring code.

Woomy's a hell of a drug.
