Sounds like it's essentially a Sturmey-Archer kick-shift 2-speed hub, but each gear outputs to a separate cog.

-cartilage in joints can regenerate

-body can synthesize its own vitamin c

Other species already do these things smh.

I think it's really good!

There is an often-repeated story about Bill Watterson (the Calvin and Hobbes creator) destroying his first 500 paintings. That's how much practice he thought he needed before his work was good. If you are not satisfied with your work, then just consider this one of your 500 pieces and keep going!

"Tassie" sounds like a great name.

Since Lemmy does not let users delete DMs, we took the liberty of deleting the "federverse girl" spam DMs for all the users on our instance. If we missed yours then let us know. Or maybe there is another account sending those out that we haven't mopped up yet?

And if you wanted to keep it for some reason, then I apologize.

I'm going to play devil's advocate because I think this is a learning opportunity and I want to set someone up to give a good answer.

A lot of people hear "anarchy" and equate it with a lack of government. Haiti has not had a functioning government for quite some time. What distinguishes Haiti's situation from anarchy?

I saw the same banner on my bank's website the other day, and also wondered what the "full faith and credit of the US government" might really be worth in the near future.

If the FDIC goes away, then the question is which bank will be less likely to suffer a bank run. That is really hard to predict, since it is all about consumer confidence and marketing perceptions. Is your local savings-and-loan safer because they are stable and boring? Or is a huge national bank safer because it's "too big to fail" and more likely to be bailed out in a crisis?

The best bet is diversification. Spread your savings among multiple banks, and consider putting it in things other than US dollars: real estate, gold, foreign currency, etc.

Yeah, usually the people who are good at running a revolution are not the same people you want running the government after the revolution.

Dear Atlanta,

I'm coming to burn your shit down in a few weeks. I suggest you GTFO. I would rather not do it, but you know how it is. No hard feelings.

Sincerely,
