on the other hand, if they change things the fans get all weird about *that*, so.
An image of the character "Tom Bombadil", from author J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord Of The Rings" series. A smiling long-bearded man in a blue robe, a wide-brimmed hat, and heavy brown boots dances while holding a large leaf like a plate of food. He is standing in a forest.

"investor loss relative to peak stock valuation" is different from "literally going out of business due to lack of capital".

Despite the headline, if you put your thumb over 1999-2001 this chart shows only steady average-linear growth over time...
A graph of the stock price for the company Cisco, going from 1994 to 2024. The graph is on an upward trajectory despite numerous spikes and dips upward and downward from the basic trend. There is a massive spike and correction to trend in the 1999-2001 period. Text reads "CISCO STILL HASN'T RECOVERED FROM 2000", "$CSCO since March 15, 1994", "Yahoo!finance", and "source: Yahoo Finance - as of March 14, 2024 close".

Tweet from a redacted username (in context, author N.K. Jemisin.) No, I haven't read the story, as I said. I'm speaking to the fact that the author was hospitalized with suicidal ideation, and a number of trans and no people mentioning their own PTSD symptoms emerging after reading, or trying to read, the story. That's their own wording. 3:55 PM • Jan 17, 2020 • Twitter Web App

Dammit, I came here to post this! But also...

And if only that had taken off they might have brought us the Ute version...

The part you forgot to quote sure as shit does!
Results Significant decreases in hematocrit, total serum testosterone, lean body mass, strength, and muscle area were observed after 12 mo of GAHT, with increases in fat mass. Grip strength was higher in TW compared to cisgender females (CW) in the long term. TW showed better performance in sports involving the upper body.

did he forget that this was just a skit and that they do not actually hate each other IRL

How would you see the curtains doing this if you were not looking from below?
A closeup image of an artist's drawing. A curtain hangs from a rod, and is folded in a way that partially obscures the rod.

"Orcas vs Axolotl" kind of sounds like Bambi Meets Godzilla

Option 1: brute-force a solution. This may take longer than the amount of time remaining in a finite universe. There is no way to determine how long it will take before I begin.
Option 2:
An empty muffin wrapper.

My muffins have become one of the fundamental problems of mathematics.
A plastic tub containing muffins, some light-colored and some dark-colored. One light-colored muffin sits outside the tub on a counter. There does not appear to be enough space in the tub for the remaining muffin, but gaps between them suggest they could be rearranged to allow it to fit.

This Bigro should technically be twice the size (the toy is nominally 1/288 scale, and the Gelgoog kit is 1/144) but I think it actually kind of works for them to be similar size, it makes the Bigro look like a space-fighter.
Two sci-fi robots. One is a green-and-brown humanoid holding a gun and a shield; the other is a green triangle with two long claws.

careful, it might be a trap
