I learned about this yesterday, I know you left this comment two months ago... There's a depth in the ocean called the CCD ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonate_compensation_depth ) where calcium based material dissolves away. If the bones were above this depth, they would've survived.

The metal traders and other businessmen in ancient Mesopotamia (2000+ years before your fruit) absolutely knew "math better than counting on their fingers".

Usury restrictions may have had a lot to do with the social cost of loans among tight knit groups (such as, don't loan money to your cousin, it'll cause problems) or because they were rejecting "normal" behavior from a society they wanted to distance themselves from.

Also, the fruit was an allegory, like most ancient mythical stories. Even if you reject mythology outright, try not to belittle the moral and traditional bases for religions that billions of people on Earth follow. You aren't better than them for it.

Re: the jailbait thing, he wasn't "a mod", it was possible to add arbitrary users as mods and they put his name on the sub to mess with him.

Any more recent censorship you'll have to ask the other guy, I've seen plenty happen in real time over there. Reddit is 100% captured media.

The internet seems to think it's because rabbits naturally hop so he's putting a jumping rabbit in a different, absurd context. I don't really get it though.

I was curious when I heard he'd passed the deadline to remove his name from the ballot for the general (whether he runs or not), and it seems the Republicans are pissed he didn't because he's likely going to take their votes away from Adams. Probably a good thing for Mamdani.

It's a little dark, given that this just happened near me.

For real? That's incredibly dumb/expensive compared to one subtitle roll. Can you share where you saw that?

I enjoyed it, too, about 200 hours worth with my wife on it. It had multiple crashes, BattlEye was forced with it, and the whole model was set up to make people rent servers from their affiliated server company for like 20$/mo. There were plenty of servers paid for by people to choose from beyond the official ones, but again it's the same business model.

Heard good things about Helldivers but I've been too busy to buy more games lately.

This game is developed by the same company that made Conan Exiles, which was a worthwhile purchase at $5 or even $20 for the Early Access but is a horrible buggy mess. They're just there for a cash grab and it'll be the same in this case as well.

We must imagine Kif happy.

I'm not sure this had anything to do with transphobia. The attackers just sound homophobic; they probably saw her hair and don't know or care that the slur they picked isn't for girls. It's sad that she's going through this. Their girlfriends robbing them after they had been beaten down speaks volumes about what sort of people they are.

It goes way deeper than that. Cutting Medicaid funding means shutting down hospitals in rural areas. The healthcare effects of that decision are going to affect many, many more people than just the ones removed from the program. Also, as a perk, everybody's health care costs will go up.
