After reviewing the footage, Sedef realized that the bears always opted for the Anzer honey, proving they have very good taste. According to The Guardian, Anzer honey is “produced from the nectar of 90 flowers that grow only in the mountains of the Anzer plateau.”

This is pretty interesting. Considering Anzer plateau is in Turkey and this took place in Turkey, I wonder if the bear prefers the honey because it's truly better or the taste is familiar to the bear, being in Turkey and all.

I’ve been on the hiring end of those conversations before, and frankly I prefer it when a candidate withdraws.

This, so much, this.

I've done many interviews on the hiring side. They're exhausting. If you're not interested in the job, please don't interview. No repercussions will be had and any (introverted) ICs that were going to be pulled into the interview will breath a sigh of relief.

Not in IT, but in software dev and I have some of the same issues dealing with support calls. I usually start off with "I'm sure you've tried some of this, so sorry in advance but can you.... ". Seems to always get them to humor me and try doing things like restarting the computer and/or software.

Death Note was my first non-Toonami anime (dbz/voltron/etc). It's the only anime I could get my wife to check out. Truly awesome. I was 20 when I first watched it and thought Light was awesome. Watching it now 16 years later and man does it hit different. I now view Light as a complete psychopath and actively root against him. Love that my view of the characters is a complete 180 from my early years.

Legend of Vox Machina is freaking incredible and is probably my most re-watched "anime".

Just wait until the 30s when you start feeling the hangover effects BEFORE you go to bed.

Yup, but if I'm talking to someone who doesn't believe in man-made climate change and I show them the xkcd and answer their obvious follow-up question about how we know past temperature, and they STILL don't want to listen to me... well then I know I can never talk to that person again. :)

Because I can already hear the anti-man-made-climate-change crowd shrieking... how do we go about determining global temperatures thousands of years ago?

What's intriguing about the discovery is that these objects appear to be moving in pairs. Astronomers are currently struggling to explain them.

I always hate when science reporting does this. Astronomers are not struggling to explain them, they just don't have enough data to take a hypothesis to a theorem!

The article even tells us possible explanations:

One possibility is that these objects grew out of regions in the nebula where the density of material was insufficient to make fully fledged stars.

Another possibility is that they were made around stars and were then kicked out into interstellar space through various interactions.

"The ejection hypothesis is the favoured one at the moment," said Prof Mark McCaughrean.

I'm sure you don't care, hear it all the time, and/or have no authority to change things, but this is shitty behavior on your industry's part. Just leave people alone!

Edit: I do appreciate you sharing these insights with all of us!

Yup. As a maiar, this is basically what Gandalf did.

"Do a flip!"
