E.O. Wilson is a monster scientist. His book "The Ants" is mind-bogglingly thorough

Looks amazing, and I'm jealous. Question though...when you're emitting smoke, isn't that roof going to partially trap it and keep it down where you're working and breathing? I've considered something similar, but part of my plan would be extending the exhaust pipe through the roof or building in some other kind of ventilation.

I had my smoker under a big tree once and found even that prevented the smoke from dissipating when there wasn't a strong wind

Early 1900s

Didn't appear for me on Connect either

*who draws pictures

"Safe" as far as legislative appropriations. That's not going to stop Trump from capriciously firing or laying off swathes of people

Lmao love it

Tankies are communist keyboard warriors, this guy's a nazi

He already reproduced. At this point natural selection only cares about the fate of his children

It's well documented that Trump and Epstein were close friends over many years. Is anything he says realistically ever going to move the needle?

This is obviously just a poor translation. I can tell you from experience that toilets like this are pretty cool. The surprise is just lights, but it has a ton of other functionality. I like the bidet function and heated blow dry

Waymo is already live in 5 US cities. Waymo has been operating in Austin for over a year city-wide while Tesla kept moving back their rollout and still only operates in a sliver of the city, and only during the day in good weather. Zoox has been heavily testing in Austin and is likely to go live at some point soon.

I can't help but deduce this is an attempt to change the narrative, which is currently dominated by Epstein.

lmao

In 1942 only the US was sending young people into war, unlike all those other countries

This article directly contradicts your commentary

My household has watched this movie at least 8 times

What do you know of this person? I can only assume you made this up with no knowledge of him, based on what I'm seeing. For example, according to Wikipedia:

In August 2023, Bartov was one of more than 1,500 U.S., Israeli, Jewish and Palestinian academics and public figures to sign an open letter stating that Israel operates "a regime of apartheid" in the occupied Palestinian territories and calling on U.S. Jewish groups to speak out against the occupation in Palestine.

Bartov has said that Israel's 37th government brought "a very radical shift", adding, "I am a historian of the 20th century and don't make analogies lightly" before recounting how the movement of fringe politics into the mainstream in Europe led to fascism, and emphasizing: "This is the current moment in Israel. It's terrifying to see it happening."

In January 2024, Bartov said that Israel had repeatedly expressed genocidal intent against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip during the Gaza war. By August of that year, having visited Israel again in June, Bartov said it "was engaged in systematic war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocidal actions". On April 24, 2025, Bartov said: "It's a misnomer to call it a 'war'. [...] This is an occupation by the IDF designed to take over Gaza. There will, of course, be resistance, but it will be guerrilla resistance." He also noted the violence had escalated beyond Gaza to include the West Bank.

Sure looks like a fruit to me. Will probably be small, cause your stems are still small. Some folks would probably recommend cutting it off to direct growth back to the stems, and pruning the stems to direct a single stem upward, and only letting it branch off higher up. How much sun are they getting? They want a lot and will grow faster with more. They also do well with way more water than other cacti, but still don't want to have wet feet

When someone says "billionaires," you can go ahead and include in that figure all those whose net worth is between 8 and 12 digits
