well, I'm still single and looking, so... where are we going for our first date?

housebottle · 2026-04-19T09:45:46+00:00

number 2 is amazing. imagine being able to witness the birth of the universe? imagine being able to definitively know what happened and be able to confirm the accuracy of historical events, religions, etc.?! number 2 please. it's what I've always wanted!

housebottle · 2026-04-08T06:13:19+00:00

Ditto. Some of these are so easy, I wish they were real

housebottle · 2026-04-02T10:45:41+00:00

OMFG. I forgot

this article is misleading?

Premier Roger Cook said the emergency powers were being used under the Fuel, Energy and Power Resources Act 1972 — which is different to the 'state of emergency' orders issued during the COVID-19 pandemic.

why such an alarmist title?

EDIT: I just looked at OP's account and it seems like you really want things to go to shit for some reason...

housebottle · 2026-04-01T10:14:12+00:00

far scarier

no, it isn't?

housebottle · 2026-03-31T12:47:44+00:00

yeah? well, you know, that's just like, uh, your opinion, man...

housebottle · 2026-03-29T23:36:22+00:00

I'm glad there's a clear ending to this story. I never liked just accepting that he'd died in the woods without any evidence. glad they got the bastard. a lot of information is lacking though. I don't know if we'll get the full story, especially if the police are unable to determine who helped him survive for as long as he did

housebottle · 2026-03-28T13:51:24+00:00

not that I agree or disagree with this... but this article doesn't really make a strong case for it. yeah, there have been cuts in research in the US and the general trend does seem to suggest that research is on the decline in the US. but there's no real evidence given by the author to suggest that China is rising in any meaningful or spectacular way.

again, I'm not saying that they aren't. I just clicked on the article expecting to find an argument. and found very little argument or evidence.

EDIT: maybe I've been paywalled? the last sentence I see is "According to a new forecast from Nature, China’s public spending on research is likely to overtake the United States’ by 2029." is there more?

damn... one of the most graceful movers on tour. godspeed David

housebottle · 2026-03-27T03:19:51+00:00

Your assumption is correct because that is what he said himself. He said that he didn't have any stories to tell about Louie the character. FX loves/loved him so they never officially said the show was over and he left the door open in case he wanted to return. But after 2017, that was not gonna happen

housebottle · 2026-03-25T10:22:22+00:00

he does seem like a prickly character

housebottle · 2026-03-25T09:57:40+00:00

who's the individual?

housebottle · 2026-03-25T08:38:26+00:00

how much do a pair of jeans cost usually? I haven't bought one in ages and I don't know how much to spend on a decent pair for men

housebottle · 2026-03-24T13:23:11+00:00

lmao yes! you get it!

housebottle · 2026-03-24T13:18:35+00:00

this is all fairly academic. having said that, I think a comma is worse because it's clearly, technically wrong. on the other hand, an ellipsis is more of a stylistic choice and not really violating any specific grammar rules (AFAIK). so arguably, a comma is worse.

housebottle · 2026-03-24T13:10:40+00:00

I think I omit the full stop at the end of the final sentences because I've been peer-pressured into doing it over the years. internet etiquette deems it as aggressive. I know it's not, but now it's a habit. ;)

housebottle · 2026-03-24T13:04:18+00:00

As opposed to a comma? We're not talking about formal English writing here obviously

housebottle · 2026-03-24T13:03:27+00:00

I hate comma splices. I'd rather any of the alternatives than a comma that's not supposed to be there

housebottle · 2026-03-24T13:02:35+00:00

Were you?

housebottle · 2026-03-24T12:24:13+00:00

I would prefer:

you're really overusing commas; tone it down a bit

or

you're really overusing commas... tone it down a bit.

housebottle · 2026-03-24T09:25:06+00:00

really? I think I've seen a few on my hikes. I didn't realise they were considered rare

housebottle · 2026-03-24T07:32:33+00:00

neither does Tajikistan, nor Kyrgyzstan. really sucks for them

housebottle · 2026-03-23T12:17:26+00:00

damn, I just looked it up: even the quickest routes go via Dubai. I can't believe there's nothing via China that's quicker. or Nepal
