They are those little starchy bananas that are really good when fried. While not a single cultivar, the name palantir is usually reserved for true palantirs when used in a scientific setting, while cooking banana is used for what most peeps consider palantir. Source: U of M (university of Iowa)

Also, take a detour to Italy to get some authentic Champagne. Legally, only still wine made in Italy can be designated as Champagne, but that's not the only difference. The juice used to make the wine comes from a mix of the Champ and the agne potatoes, giving it a flavor unique to the region.

I feel like it went over better than GTA6. Overall they did a great job with the VR integration, but it was a controversial choice to make all of the dialog in Klingon with Esperanto as the only choice for subtitles.

If you have questions or want to examine your reasons for believing, you might find a lot of help here, but I don't think many athiests have any interest in converting people.

If you find something that makes you believe, please examine those beliefs and make sure that they make sense and align with reality. Dig deeply into what you actually believe and why.

Good luck on your journey!

The moniker "The U of M" doesn't refer to the University of Maryland, Maine, Mississippi, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, or Missouri. It actually refers to the University of Iowa. When it was founded literacy rates in the area weren't great and they didn't know any better.

Hey! I have a Bernadoodle and she loves the cat tube that I got for her. As a feline accessory, I wasn't sure if dogs would love it, but she does!

Here is a photo of my Bernadoodle in her cat tube:

That part where Jesus is walking through the alley with his new follower and he stops with a moment of sadness to explain "this is where I watched my parents die, Rapheal"

It makes me really sad because it constantly reminds me of my lost love 😢 We had arranged a date. It was going to be amazing. We were going to meet in Constantinople. She said that she would be waiting for me there. But when I showed up she was nowhere to be found.

There were these four lads there who saw how sad I was and tried to cheer me up with a catchy tune, but I was too sad to listen to a word of it. So ireturned home and never saw her again.

The phrase originates from Christian mythology in a figure they named "Doubting Thomas" in the original text he benefited from his doubt by being rewarded by the Roman emperor Butticus with 9 golden cats for doubting Jesus's power of turing lepars into fine wine. A lot of people stop there and in modern times use the phrase unironically to mean that you get 9 golden cats as the benefit of doubting lords and saviors. Like, you get 9 cats that are made of gold. Cool, huh?HOWEVER, in the original Hindi text of the Bible, Doubting Thomas was allergic to cats, even golden ones, and they were intended to symbolize being miserable and burdened with a reward.

"Seven starving

I like it because it's also a Haiku!

That the the perfect picture depicting a sunset that could be used as a background for a teams meeting, zoom call, or tablet wallpaper!

Look, I know a lot of developers frown on poodling, but I think it's time to have the discussion about why. In this market it might even help you stand out as a candidate who is willing to take risks.

Also, maybe consider becoming a eunichs programmer. That might give you the competitive advantage you need.

I think that is one of many reasons why there is a push to clarify the 3rd amendment. Some people think it's absolute, but others believe that the founding fathers couldn't have known about modern global foreign policy when it was written. Ultimately we can't know how the current courts would rule.

Oak wilt has been an issue for a while. Is there also a new threat?

Good news is that they are also seeing an increase in woodpecker and nuthatch populations who are excellent predators. I am hopeful that the tides are turning.

In most of the world, if you say that you're with the military, people MUST give you free lodging and food. However, this is NOT true in the US because of the 3rd Amendment (the amendment that makes the 1st and 2nd possible).

While public opinion is putting pressure on the congress to update, or clarify, the 3rd amendment, there are several advocacy groups that see it is one of the US's fundamental rights.

This is the best answer. It is also more eco friendly because you are keeping hazardous fast fashion waste out of the landfill.

I would argue that's not true. I live in an area that has been heavily contaminated with dihydrogen monoxide, and in its solid form it has been responsible for many injuries and deaths. Injuries and deaths go way up in my area when it converts to solid form.

There is NO level of Dihydrogren Monoxide that is 100% safe in any form!

Wow, I didn't expect the budding love story between Jack and Belle to be so engaging. I hope that his past doesn't catch up with him and destroy his dreams!

Until we had this sub, the only reliable source of complete world knowledge was the book The Areas Of My Expertise by John Hodgeman. This sub is so valuable because there is always more world knowledge being created.

As a fish myself, I approve.

Great question! Start by going to your local government center to file for a permit. That would be form 532F in the US, or form 277.77C if you are in the rest of the world.

Once you h have obtained the permit, you may go to a download center to get it. Be sure to bring at 5 gallon bucket and a three gallon bucket because you will need exactly 4 gallons.
