When I call a fern (or wolf, crab, crow, whale, shark), at that level of syntactical broadly used common word I’m mostly talking about the phenotype, not the genotype. If someone was saying something about a specific fern, then we can argue against those romantic idea of deep time, a little. I mean, we’re probably all descendants of some ancient panspermia event anyway if you want to feel some connection to the ancient forgotten past.

Yes. I’m assuming your just some dude and not a telecom with teams of lawyers.

That’s not what pedantry means.

The effects of subatomic particles, even high speed ones, are apparent even if you are unaware of the cause.

No, I didn’t. We can perceive electrons in various ways.

Explain to us how we don’t interact with electrons in everyday life.

Autocorrect seems to have gotten noticably worse for me in recent years. I regularly find that the entirely correct words which I type out get changed to something completely different because the autocorrect decided that I couldn’t possibly mean that word. It regularly helpfully replaces entire words after I hit space and have moved on to the next. By that time, I’m usually focused on the next word, so slip-ups that I almost never make at a dumb keyboard (like its vs. it’s, there vs. their, your vs. you’re, or were vs. where vs. wear) happen with shocking regularity unless I proofread the entire comment. As a perfect example, I had to proofread and fix multiple instances of such while typing those examples.

Despectacled.

Nancy Reagan just laughs at this take.

I’m literally nearing the end of my most recent watch through of ALL Trek in order of air date. I think I’ve only got a few episodes of Prodigy, a season of Lower Decks, and a season of Strange New Worlds left. I’m saving the latest Academy episodes for the end obviously. I guess I can immediately circle back to the beginning.

I was under the impression that one replaced the other. I guess I was lied to.

Reading on an ebook reader makes it really easy for me to highlight sections and annotate them. It can be fun to note my various suspicions about the killer as I read an Agatha Christie for example, see if and how early I can guess the killer. Getting those notes back out of my ebook reader and into a format I can preserve has been a bit of a challenge.

Why did 6 7?

Absorbent towels. I guess if you’d always used fabric softener, you’d never know how much more effective towels are when they haven’t been abused by fabric softener or drier sheets.

I added the sound of a disconnected land line to the beginning, a short pause, and then my voicemail message. Has done a pretty decent job of weeding out spam, scams, and impatient idiots.

If you’re being sarcastic or satirical, that’s not coming across in your previous comments.

If society can’t care for the people that can’t care for themselves, what the fuck is even the point?

Now. That’s pretty much the situation now. If you don’t believe me, try and completely remove Edge and Copilot from an updated Windows 11.

The argument in that article is basically “Most calculators do it this way now, so that must be our convention to use, so 16 is the correct answer. Please ignore that this goes against the conventions established before calculators became transistorized.”

Because the question takes a backseat to showcasing the OP’s product link. They aren’t trying to sell us on some carnivore product though (as seems to be their normal posting mode), so it was probably an accident. I guess once you start selling bullshit non-stop it’s hard to stop sounding that way. The way they were so quick to pull and regurgitate those stats about you was a real internet marketer move though. Sneaky of you to trick them into exposing how creepy they are.
