Gilgamesh goes and meets the Babylonian equivalent of Noah, who lived long ago by that point in the story, so even if you ignored everything else in the poem that clearly establishes that he's living at some point after Eden, there's still no way to combine Babylonian and Jewish mythologies without concluding that Gilgamesh and Enkidu are clearly not Adam nor Steve.

But maybe they're David and Jonathan.

Haven't read these in years. Good lord, Girl's hair stylization is getting out of control.

It's not pedantic to object to "nearly 1 chicken per man, woman, and child" in the US when it's much closer to "1 chicken per 4 people" than it is to the former.

He is having awesome sex. I'm sure that Peter Thiel uses his throat goat regularly.

-500F is about 40 degrees F colder than absolute zero. It has never been that cold anywhere in the universe. -200F is certainly more "actually possible in our current understanding of physics", but it's over 100 degrees colder than the current Martian temperature and thus also not a temperature it's ever been on Earth, even at the heart of the coldest Ice Age directly on the poles. While Earth's average temperature has certainly fluctuated, the temperatures you're talking about are so cold that all life on Earth would have gone extinct.

Well you already know how to find this place, so find a Linux-themed instance and either ask your question or better yet post a "guide" telling people to resolve your problem by doing some wrong method you've already tried so that someone else calls you an idiot and posts the correct answer out of spite.

Only 79? Less than half of what I'd hoped for. (First man to 160.)

Her real problem is actually a little different. If she introduces a motion to oust, the Democrats will just vote against it this time. They ousted McCarthy because he went and betrayed them plus threw them under the bus, so they had no reason not to hope for a different speaker. Johnson kept his end of the bargain and doesn't go out of his way to fuck them over, so they have no reason not to reward him and keep him in power. Thus, if she introduces a motion to vacate, she and a couple other crazies vote for it and the whole rest of the House votes against it, revealing her to be even more of a joke than she's already become.
