Yea same; Camel, Bee, and Hummingbird are my faves I think, but they're all so different. Have samples of most.

I love reading those review pages to see how many people are describing a given frag as "powdery", and how many are saying they're surprised others think it's powdery.

I'm not a NY res and have been out of the loop. It sounds like Mamdani A: Is projected to be NY major. B: Supports policies that favor normal people over corps. This upsets both conservatives, and mainstream dems. I'm having a hard time finding criticism beyond "he's socialist".

I think if we low pass out Autumn, knitting is trending. I've seen more people IRL and on the internet knitting than ever before.

Some notes:
- Shaving wavers are generally for black men, due to hair thickness
- Special forces often have beards
- Many foreign militaries allow facial hair
- Mustaches are common in some (e.g. flying) communities, and there's traditionally pushing-the-limits and backlash on deployments.

When I was a kid, the same happened, but a 2L bottle.
The toenail fell off a few days after. It doesn't grow back in the way you might expect!

Bait taken. Overhyped? Yes. Questionable economics? Yes. Incapable of doing science or anything creative? Yes. Easy to misuse? Yes. Has no uses? No. Example: It's good at writing and fixing discrete code segments if you provide the structure.

I am having a hard time understanding people and politicians who support damaging environmental policies, or who are indifferent. This is the biggest issue facing humanity. We stand for the biosphere; the decisions we make now ripple into the future.

Keep it up! Healthcare access and cost is one of the most important issues we face. This is a good example of how some on the right are trying to turn people against each other to prevent fixing it. We can't let them divide us!

I'm baffled by how people handle following distances in general, assisted or not. ~70% follow too close in dry conditions, and ~90% in wet or poor vis IMO. (highway)
