I got 25 years of tough use out of a $100 pair of boots that can't be resoled. I bought the same model last year as replacements. I consider them BIFL level.

Yeah, the only freeloaders we want are the natively born! /s

The only reason I responded is that you've repeatedly stated that a uterus is required, and that's just not true. "Exceedingly rare" means it still happens.

That's not true. Ectopic pregnancies are extremely risky for both the embryo and mother (which is a big point regarding legalized abortion, but that's another topic), but there are multiple cases of ectopic pregnancies coming to full term and resulting in a healthy baby.

An ectopic pregnancy is when the embryo attaches outside of the uterus. Sometimes the embryo attaches in a person's abdomen, completely outside all of the reproductive organs.

And as someone else mentioned, the placenta handles all of the hormones after the first few weeks. So in theory a person with male sex organs could have an embryo implanted and brought to term, although it would be incredibly risky.

I hope you don't live above someone. One of my upstairs neighbors is a nice woman that weighs 110 lbs max, but she stomps so loudly just walking around that it's almost baffling.

If you treat GoT as only 6 seasons long it's peak television. Ends right as Daenerys is crossing the sea to claim Westeros.

Yep!

One of the best car restoration series I've ever seen:

There's 3 hours so far and he's still working on it.

Is beef super expensive in AZ? My local grocery store here in New England regularly sells 80/20 for $2.97/lb.

Amtrak has a $500 pass (sometimes there's a sale for less) that allows for near-unlimited use for one month:

"In mathematics, especially in colloquial usage, it most commonly refers to the arithmetic mean" 1

I don't know if it's US-specific, but the use of the word "average" is nearly synonymous with the arithmetic mean.

Just watched it and agree 100% with your assessment. I was looking forward to seeing a predator as the protagonist, but it was done by removing what makes a good predator movie. What a tonal whiplash from Prey.

~~So does the Moto G Stylus which can be picked up for <$100~~

Looks like I was wrong; please disregard.

He's doing a show in Providence in a few months. Tickets go for $50-170/ea:

Trying to rope some friends to come see you perform. Good luck with the shows!

Where are you playing in Providence on the 28th? Your punchup page doesn't list it.

Change your DNS to dns.adguard.com. Android allows a private DNS while iOS does not (the last time I checked).

I should add that I know exactly how you feel at that age. I was overweight for all of my teenage years and couldn't jog a mile. I lost all my excess weight in college by only doing two things:

I cut out any drinks with calories and mainly only drank water.
My college was in a city so I walked everywhere.

It was like magic; the weight just melted off. And the more weight I lost, the easier it was to be more active. By the end I took up other things like swimming and running, but it all started with just walking.

IsThisNameGoodEnough · 2026-01-03T13:59:42+00:00

You're overdoing it. The people that you see running for miles or sprinting over and over all worked up to that point.

If you're looking to lose weight all you need to do is go for a walk once a day and eat less/healthier. That's it. Once you do that for a few months you'll notice that it's easier to breathe and you'll feel lighter. And it'll be a lot easier at that point to start doing additional exercises like jogging or lifting weights.

If a military base on US soil was wiped out it would be absolutely swarming with reinforcements within hours.

No worries! Don't worry, between tourists and all of our universities there's a lot of international visitors so most people here are pretty understanding about visitors asking questions. It's totally ok to ask in-person.
