In all seriousness, if you have the patience and glasnost you should reach out to a scientist or related professional who can document this behaviour via bloods, x-rays, genomics or other means.

I study oral history and you’d be surprised what mundane information amazes people 50 years after the fact. Regrowing teeth would definitely fall into such a category, even if the evidence is unintelligible to present day dentists or you want aspects embargoed.

It might be the narrative bias of revisionist history but it seems like there’s a trend of bombastic good-for-nothing leaders against get-stuff-done lackeys and quiet leaders.

I almost despair at hearing what i want to hear now because it probably means what i want isn’t actually being done.

This is actually on my current todo list - replacing textedit with Helvetica to make notes on MacOS, with Featherpad and ??? font on Debian. Didn’t seem important but the default is so damn ugly.

These are the kind of books I aspire to write eventually. Incredibly niche but indisputably authoritative to those that care about the niche.

Seen and confirmed (before the author removes it - if they care to)

They’re usually the first comments in these posts - perhaps stuck in traffic?

It seems very simple, more romantic than a dating app and would massively recoup my net worth because I’m sharing expenses, being motivated by my soulmate, and married people out-earn single people statistically especially over a longer time period. The 6 month ‘wait’ also implies i’m skipping any messy divorces. The only downside would be if they die soonish and i spend the rest of my life knowing no-one will compare, but that would still beat never meeting them (at least according to Alfred Tennyson).

You would need to ramp that percentage well up to triple figures before it became a problem.

I have a ten year old laptop - bought a replacement battery, good as new - for 15 minutes. Now it dies in 2 minutes when unplugged. Maybe a trustworthy brand will emerge to handle the different battery sizes available.
