Even then it would be most likely seeded by a probe from so distant that they’d never be able to travel here. Think Voyager probe, but maybe faster. If we’d sent one with a bio seed package and sent it right at the best life supporting planet we could find it’s still gonna be 10s or 100s of thousands of years before it even arrives, then a couple hundred million years for anything to evolve there.

It would be sorta hilarious if we were a distant science experiment though.

The data theft and possible espionage seems like an even bigger liability for them. They know they did illegal shit, and those star link antennas were there for that reason.

And snakes hide in grass.

Pretty sure the Trump team would have plastered that all over the media if it had happened.

One is a corgi and the other a Swedish Valhund. They are controlling our every move at this point.

Really though the 11 y/o corgi is in charge and the 1.5y/o Valhund is a maniac that just wants to play and run in circles with the 7 y/o kid. Utter chaos.

It’s like an acid response for her that causes her throat to swell. Not quite an allergy but feels similar to one i guess (she has a strong pine nuts allergy that she carries an EpiPen for).

Melt brand vegan butter is decent, though it’s pretty much just margarine from memory. Or I think the Trader Joe’s brand too, but I haven’t been there in a while so I’m not sure.

They do make the popcorn a bit more soggy than real butter though from what I’ve noticed.

We add brewers yeast and salt as well, adds a nice umami flavor and soaks up some of the margarine.

It hit a phone pole 20 feet from our house once and killed our router and everything connected the the coaxial cable.

All the windows rattled in our house and if it weren’t for the flash you’d think a semi drove into it.

Lightning and distant clouds are the only thing I miss about living in the flat Midwest.

Mountains and blizzards are a good trade off though. We get thunderstorms too, but if you see a lightning bolt, you’re probably in danger of either dying or frying some of the electronics in your home. And your ears will be ringing.

I was working with the education division about a decade and a bit ago when they had an open source platform with sensors and motors. Then iRobot abruptly killed that division too, right as our project was getting going.

I haven’t felt good about that company since.

Does anyone remember margarine? It’s mostly as good as any other butter, was historically much cheaper, and actually better in things like butter cream frosting (makes it lighter and fluffier).

My wife has developed an allergy to dairy in the last 5 years and all these alternative butters are ridiculously overpriced, but many of them seem to just be margarine with vegan butter branding Some of them like Miyokos are kinda terrible sometimes, or smell like fish oil when heated in a pan.

Let us know how that works out. We have 2 gods and a 7 y/o child.

They’ve all been untraining each other since about day 300.

I live both north and east of NYC, I want the later sunlight in summer and winter. The first hour of light is wasted on me and many others. Farmers maybe not, but around here that’s pretty much over by late October anyway.

I’ve also lived at the most extreme opposite end of the Eastern time zone in Michigan, and like the late evening sunlight even more!

Browser too, and the whole activeX, and DirectX api system to practically force windows only development.

Hey I’m the good cook husband with a car problem too.

My wife never wanted to help cook though, she loves that I take it on by myself most times.

And I get the kitchen mostly to myself (though I’m sharing it with my son more now, which is slower, but pretty fun).
