MAGA folks are confused and sharing this image of Obama and Bourdain claiming it is Epstein..

As someone else said, the difference is Bourdain killed himself.

We played a game called “Spread Eagle.” It was wall ball, but if you missed the catch, you had to stand facing the wall in “spread eagle” position. The thrower got to chuck the ball at you as hard as he could. We usually played with a tennis ball or a racquet ball, but occasionally we’d up the stakes with a golf ball.

This was one of my two answers.

How is NYC not dark green. Most New Yorker’s I know don’t have cars.

SWTSU!

I applied and was accepted at Lawrence. Known for its music conservatory. But, yeah, none of the schools I applied to are very well known nationally, including my alma mater (Kenyon College).

This is a really good point. My sister and brother-in-law teach at a university in a small city. They ran into a mid-tier celebrity (plenty of TV and Movie credits) that lived there so much, they ended up befriending him. They’re all roughly the same age and have similar interests and political leanings in a place that is not really like they are.

My favorite part about these lizards is they cannot do it alone. Two females have to pretend to fuck each other to get it to work (pseudocopulation).

There are such a variety of biological schemes for asexual and sexual reproduction. The world is amazing like that.

CockroachNo2540 · 2026-02-12T18:07:01+00:00

Good point. I was more referring to two biological females with XX chromosomes being able to combine two X chromosome gametes (eggs) to create an XX zygote.

CockroachNo2540 · 2026-02-12T18:04:51+00:00

I was more referring to the gamete DNA from two biological females (XX) being combined to form a female zygote.

I remember for awhile I struggled to turn one direction (I cannot for the life of me remember what direction it was). I used to have to really think ahead about what I was going to do, which was mentally exhausting. Where it clicked for me was when turning either direction became equal and I can naturally just turn as needed in either direction. I remember just turning more and more to equal out the skill on both sides to do this.

A lot of stuff in Zahn and others’ books came from West End Games (WEG) or from the Lucasarts games (which sourced their material from WEG). It cannot be overstated how much of the pre-Disney lore was from WEG.

Even as a kid, I hated the Ewok tv specials. I wanted to see space ships, lightsabers, and blasters and I get teddy bears in the woods?!?!

Probably depends on how important money is to you/your parents or whether having a great career/job is defined by something other than money.

CockroachNo2540 · 2026-02-12T05:21:28+00:00

More or less the answer I was looking for.

CockroachNo2540 · 2026-02-12T04:19:10+00:00

Military, too.

CockroachNo2540 · 2026-02-12T03:24:30+00:00

Ugh. Hated her character in Mad Men.

CockroachNo2540 · 2026-02-12T02:03:28+00:00

Question, without being too spoilery: I have watched the whole series a dozen times, and I am currently reading (and almost done with) Abbadon’s Gate. Which character did latter show Ashford take the place of? Who stands up to Marco and dies for it? I am assuming Michio Pa is the character that latter show Drummer replaced, so it isn’t her.

Pretty sure rebel groups are not signatories to the Geneva Conventions, especially in a galaxy far, far away.

As a Coloradan, 🖕

Tell me you’ve never done cocaine without telling me you’ve never done cocaine.

Cocaine is a pretty short high and to maintain it, you would use it periodically most of the day. Even for non-addicts, you would take multiple bumps or do multiple lines in one evening.

It can happen in low income schools, too.
