well they were entirely made up of account executives, insurance salesmen, and management consultants so I think it's still fair to call them "ape-descended"

And don't words that end in -ix get pluralized with -ices? So you'd have Aviatrices, Dominatrices and Gladiatrices. I need some of these I can use in real life, dammit!

I haven't heard that before, do you have a source where I could read more? I know fish at least is high in omega-3s... What is it about cooking the fat that makes it bad, and does that mean raw or rendered fats are fine?

This article is cherry picking numbers from a Redfin study. It says 28% empty-nest Boomers vs 14% Millennials with kids. Together those two subsets own 42% of large homes (3+ bedrooms). So that doesn't account for elder GenZ, Millennials without kids, all of GenX, and any boomers that don't count as "empty-nest" for whatever reason. It's not half corps like everyone keeps saying.

I prefer sabotage that doesn't have the potential to ignite thousands of acres of adjacent woodland. Somewhat counterproductive at that point.

If you switch that last Fed graph to show the percentage of total wealth instead (which accounts for inflation), the under 40 category is actually at it's highest level since 2013. It looks like it hit all-time low around 2010 at 4.8% and has steadily increased since, at the expense of the 40-54 demo.

Calf is a good ballpark. I think I could take a whitetail doe but not a buck, and that's about the same range.

I took the phrase "small business" to mean places with an actual storefront (restaurants, small shops, studios, and so on) who use FB or IG in lieu of having their own site. For those places it makes particularly little sense because social media isn't most people's first port of call when they're looking for somewhere to eat dinner or go thrifting.

Wait, what did Hyperloop kill in MD? It looks like the proposed route was from DC to Baltimore underneath MD 295 – we already have Amtrak and MARC serving that corridor.

everything from desert to tundra to a variety of types of forest and just about every biome in between.

I'm pretty sure you can find all those things just in the state of California. Meanwhile Croatia, where this photo was taken, has about the same land area as West Virginia.

I'm not sure what you would export, just your listening history and favorites? Pocket Casts doesn't host the actual audio files themselves, those are all available elsewhere online. I doubt there's an easy way to port your existing subscriptions and such to another app, that would require them all to use a standard format for that data and there's not really any incentive for that.

Interesting, I've used self checkouts all over the US and every single one has been as you described. I didn't know there was a gun option!
