I always felt the civil war plot was weak because my character could single-handedly defeat either side, or simply defeat the Thalmor and solve the problem that the Empire is trying to solve by controlling Skyrim.

This is a big problem in Skyrim and Fallout 4 as well. A bandit camp has the same population as a major city, and I think you're supposed to assume that cities are scale models of a much bigger city, but it gives the impression that the world is 1% farmers and 99% raiders stealing from them.

The ‘public trust crisis’ in science largely comes down to ‘scientists tell people things they don’t want to hear’. Applies equally to climate science

My initial guess was that I would be able to name 100 non-avian dinosaur genera, but sadly I could only come up with 55.

With 7 scoreless innings and a hit tonight, he would pass Ted Williams' combined record of 84 games on base and 1/3 scoreless innings pitched!

Unsafe firearm and cartridge combinations - Wikipedia

Wikipedia has a long list. I also recall hearing that there's a certain rifle round which can fit in a 20-gauge shotgun's chamber, with the result that the shotgun is irreparably destroyed.

It's really good to have a regular non-work event with the same group of people, whatever it is. I play softball which is vastly preferable to going to church or smelling the inside of a furry costume on a hot day

A lot of people are truly deluded into believing they care deeply about sexism and sexual violence and that they’re also very kind and wonderful when they actively make life harder for people who have been and will be impacted by sexual violence

You're right. But I don't know the history of why éminence is weird like that when almost all other nouns that can be applied to people are not.

It is, but almost all occupations in French have grammatically masculine and feminine versions. A female lawyer is une avocate, a woman cardinal would be une cardinale, and so on. Some words are the same for either gender, so a male midwife is un sage-femme and a female midwife is une sage-femme.

I played Fallout 4 without mods to get some achievements. I lost my save file since I didn't have the mod that prevents the game from automatically deleting your save file when it crashes in the wrong way

This is the Animorphs book where she hijacks a jet and flies it into a building (turning into a cockroach before impact to survive the explosion)

I think it's very cool that he will set the Cleveland record by playing exactly 10 full seasons of games with them.

Does Ted Williams have the combined record? In 1949 he had an 84-game on base streak and a 1/3 IP scoreless inning "streak"

I walked into a shop in Barcelona and said bonjour. The clerk, probably assuming I was a French tourist, immediately asked "Do you speak English?"

Reminds me of that survey that asked "The devil outsmarts everyone who challenges him to a wager 99.999% of the time. Could you outsmart the devil?" 40% of philosophy professors said yes

Simultaneously, they mock & degrade women athletes for not being athletic enough, and then when a few of us are that athletic, they say we must not be real women. The end state of this reasoning is a world where “real” women don’t — and then can’t — play sports. Policing gender hurts women athletes.

Abandon scarcity mindset that keeps harmful people in your spaces and you will see very quickly how much room you create for genuinely good, hardworking, kind people to thrive. It’s like weeding a garden and helping struggling buds have space to breathe.

That dancing robot is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop dancing, ever.
