Repple (she/her)

I would say learning to write is important. Stroke order is standardized and because of that (and just culture in general), there are specific normal ways people take shortcuts when writing quickly. Knowing how to write makes these intuitive and makes reading handwritten and stylized kanji easier.

It was not officially released. It’s available in some libraries locally as I’m on the big island

I watch the Hawaiian language version every now and again to practice. They did a great job!

I mostly agree with you but not entirely. I do think there’s a feasible path to hydrogen being useful in several applications. I don’t think cars are good, but airplanes, trains, and trucks are bigger possibilities.

I do think to make sense we would have to do thermochemical cogeneration with nuclear power plants. This has the nice benefit of significantly increasing the overall efficiency of the nuclear power plants, increasing overall efficiency from the 33% realm to around 50% with cogeneration seems possible, and that use of waste energy helps to offset the worse efficiency downstream. Combined with applications where the weight of batteries is problematic, and you have some potential for success

I adored lunatic fringe as a child.

Swift also handles everything at compile time, using automatic reference counting. It is also in general faster then c++ in the benchmarking I’ve done for work where we are considering incrementally replacing c++ with it. (Benchmarking was focused on very language-standard code, NOT hand-optimized code focusing on getting every last ounce of speed out).

Yeah, and I think it’s growing on some cilantro. Very tiny chop, or very large cilantro

I would. Vance is awful, but I have zero faith in his ability to hold onto trump’s cult. Things get much scarier once trump has had time to establish himself more.

Best battle system in the series. Biggest complaint for most people is how slow it starts. For me it’s how long it takes to get my favorite characters.

Nothing. Very young pickled ginger will have the pink coloring naturally, mostly beet is used to dye it to give it the color when not so young ginger is used

Many people are doing this.

I hope this comes off the way I want it to: remember this is about you. You sound like the sort of person who is always putting others first, which is an admirable quality, but this is all about you—everyone who cares about you will immediately recognize that.

Don’t waste your energy trying to protect anyone else’s feelings. The best thing you can do for your loved ones is tell them as soon as you can (even if that means just being super blunt about it) and focusing your energy on your plan to maximize health/minimize pain, which they can all help you with.

That’s just because polling was off. This major poll right before the election had Harris up by 4 points.

Maybe I’m an optimist, but I think it’s still too early for anyone else (especially Vance, who is not nearly charismatic enough) to hold onto power as a successor in a non democratic way. Could definitely see the story being different after 4 years, though.

If you’re ever here and want to see pueo, go to Waimea towards Mauna Kea in the late afternoon/early evening. They are usually very active in the fields then. That is not a touristy area, so be sure to pull off the road (sticking to paved roads in your rental car) and not inconvenience locals

I adore pueo. I have spent hours in Waimea (the one on the big island) watching them hunt. Truly superb owls

Now that it’s clear that Harris’s really well run campaign underperformed Hillary Clinton, can we finally end the myth that some failing of her campaign strategy or “likability” was the primary reason for her loss rather than sexism and Comey’s shenanigans? It really seems like a very large number of men just won’t vote for a woman in the US.

The universe is balanced on the back of a giant koala! Why is he smiling? What does he know??
