Give him a fucking job. Put his genius to work, solving problems for the good of society. Life imprisonment at 18 is barbaric. Even moreso of an autistic person. Utterly disgusted.

They are non-binary, FYI. It’s not an accident that Gessen isn’t gendered in the article.

Please could you be specific, so we don’t have to check out Reddit, to find out? Not a dig, I’m just trying really hard to avoid the platform after moving. Cheers.

“I think I said “wunderkind”, but okay.”

Syberia, if you’re into point and click adventure games. I think they made three of them.

Urethra.

But they made a movie episode, in 2019, to try to finally round off the series (all the actors returned). Check it out, if you didn’t catch it. It wasn’t perfect, obviously, but it was an admirable attempt.

The Intouchables (SIC). The original French film with Omar Sy. Not the pointless Hollywood remake. Its my favourite comedy of all time.

Also Firefox.

Found the Brit/American/Australian? (Delete as appropriate)

Thanks for the added context.

That username, though…

It already is, over here in the UK.

I’d do it for them for half that!

What’s funny about this (apart from your excellent joke) is that there are actually a lot of places, where they are a common crop, where bananas are advertised as “boneless”. This is because, I believe the bit that connects the banana bunch to the plant (not a tree!) Is sometimes called the “bone” (I believe it’s “C” in this image:

Having the grocer machete this bit off for you presumably cuts down on the unnecessary weight on your moped back home, and maybe even the costs, if buying by weight.

Caveat: This is just what I have come to understand, from travel experience and curiosity. If there are any actual “Bananologists” about, please feel free to correct!

Great info, here. Thanks so much for helping to demystify.

Please could you explain a bit more about the process you describe, above? Maybe with some simple examples? I’m woeful at maths but really good with mechanical and physical problems. If there’s a way I can improve upon the former, I’d love to try.

Thanks in advance!

It was never proven that the baby was Greg’s.

Didn’t Mythbusters debunk this one?

Stop holding your nose and blowing, to clear your ears. You can burst your eardrum this way. I have a perforated eardrum, myself (though not from this), and getting a subsequent inner ear infection in that ear is the most painful thing I have ever experienced. Worse than the burst appendix or broken ribs.

Instead, try holding your nose and closing your mouth and swallowing a few times. With a big gulp of water might help. Should eventually give you enough pressure to clear the blockage, without risking your health.

Does Don’t Starve fit your bill?

Also second Submautica.
