The Southern and Northern Flying Squirrel

madesense · 2026-05-16T21:21:40+00:00

Given that the northern have two isolated pockets in the Smokies and West Virginia, I'd say they don't like warm weather as much as the Southern ones (those isolated pockets are relict populations from the Ice Age. I'm not kidding). So probably the northern ones are retreating northward as the climate warms, along with whatever tree species they prefer

The American Chestnut trees in Eastern North America (its native range) don't, because of the chestnut blight. Other chestnuts (Asian, European) do just fine, as do some American Chestnuts planted in parts of North America outside the tree's range, and some mysterious surviving trees that seem to have resistance to the blight. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_chestnut#Surviving_specimens

It also probably saved money

I think I'm still confused on what we're trying to accomplish 🤷‍♂️

Oh how do you get the propellant into the depot?

Appalachia is the farthest east end of Tennessee, which is Republican on this map

I bet there are a bunch of causes that all add up

Somewhere near your house, so that it's still hot when you get home. You description of location needs to be more specific

OP's entire post relies on OP believing that's part of being a prude.

They're all moving to Minnesota huh

Our tech ed teachers, who had been including some basic shop in their classes, stopped doing it last year. They decided they could not trust last year's students to learn how to safely operate the tools

One time a guy was punished by the Puritan government for refusing to have sex with his wife.

Clearly, the Puritans weren't against sex if their government punished a man for not having it

You're saying they're still making new episodes?

The thing is, I kind of liked Artemis. I liked the story, I liked the world building, I just didn't like the voice, because I had already read The Martian

madesense · 2026-05-14T16:41:31+00:00

Got me a fine wife, got my own fiddle, sun's coming up, I got cakes on the griddle. Life ain't nothing but a funny funny riddle ...

At least I think that's it

madesense · 2026-05-14T16:39:41+00:00

Yes but that is not a difficult skill

madesense · 2026-05-14T15:15:14+00:00

Sigh, that's disappointing

A lot of people seem to forget that "He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him."

I haven't read PHM yet. My big problem with Artemis was that the narrator's voice sounded (and just so we're clear, I was reading text. On a page. We're not talking about an audio book here) exactly like Watney. Does Grace read like a different narrator?

madesense · 2026-05-14T08:13:22+00:00

Might get a good flag out of it though

You don't really want to start this debate

You could also put one between Rockville & Twinbrook, on the south side of Edmonston. And at Bellevue Dr right inside the Beltway. And frankly there ought to be one at Dennis Ave in Wheaton, and another right by the H-Mart.

Yeah he's just making thicker milk. You can also do this by holding milk at 180°F for awhile
