They aren’t, for the most part. Because there’s no real incentive to do so. There have been a run of articles discussing this exact situation over the past month, because the Metaverse has been an absolute flop.

Redirect conversation towards work topics. If they get really pushy, mention it to HR.

Part of my company’s mandatory annual harassment training involves explaining to people that repeatedly digging for personal information about someone is harassment and not to be tolerated.

Depends on the birds. Some will reuse old nests, fixing them up each year, while others will push the old nest and start again from scratch, while still others will wait until another bird has made a nest and then come in and eat their eggs and take over the nest.

And then cowbirds and cuckoos will just lay their eggs in another bird’s nest and fly away.

Check the FOIL examples then.

Carrying is due to the number base you’re working in… in this case you’re using base 10.

Remember: at the end of the day you’re saying you’ve got 51 groups each with 52 elements and you want to add them all up. The rest is just different ways of arranging those elements into groups that are easier to work with.

I just created the playlist for my wedding myself, including volume levels. I paid my own fees and just had the MC press play and pause at the appropriate places.

Not just for older people:

Make a will, people. Even if you have no belongings worth speaking of, the simple act of putting down how you want to be interred could save your family thousands of dollars and a lot of extra grief during their time of grief.

Donkeys are notoriously bad at observing traffic signals.

> There is literally nothing worth deciding that can’t wait for a clearer head.

Not quite true: there are a number of decisions you have to make in life or death situations.

This is why getting basic first aid training is a really good idea: you are then trained to make those sorts of decisions and can decide if you’re being manipulated or have an actual emergency that needs a quick decision.

Air is attracted to dense objects. The further away from dense objects you get, the less of everything there is.

A Red Giant goes the other way; planet cools until life can’t survive, then eventually the star expands to become larger than the orbit of the planet. Supernova claim the planet rather more forcefully and immediately.

Atmosphere stripped, planet baked, eventually consumed by star.

Imagine a pincushion.

Stick 50 pins in it. And try to make sure none of them touch.

Now take 5 steps from the pincushion and draw a circle around it, and randomly toss 50 pins into the circle and see how many of them touch.

Now take 500 steps away, create a new virtual circle of that size and toss 50 pins into it in random directions.

Inverse square law applies to physical objects just as much as to radiation. At near orbital distances there’s some risk, and since many objects have decaying orbits there’s more risk over time, but space is really big — even within Earth’s gravity well.

Well, if you’ve spent any time around camels you’ll know that it was still operating as a drive through. I’m sure getting the camel to leave the pickup window was the hardest part.
