Also the only food whose squeak can give cheese curds or calamari a run for their auditory money.

I’m not going to claim to fully understand the nuances, but the sea ice will melt at about -2C and glacial melt will deposit ~1C water into the system. If the deep water is steady at 3C or 4C, sending it up could accelerate melting of both.

Nope.

That is, instead of sinking into the depths, surface water is being replaced by deep water masses rising to the surface, bringing with them heat and carbon dioxide (CO₂) that had been trapped for centuries.

I had to look up that last part, as it seemed counter-intuitive, but apparently deep ocean water bottoms out at 4 degrees C.

If they do, they’re called waders.

Late to the game on this one, but Thomas “Chyrosran22” reviewed this board. I watched it a while ago, but IIRC, it boiled down to “pretty mediocre board, but fine, elevated by the keycaps.”

3, but the pajamas erasure here is unfortunate.

From a Doylist/marketing perspective, though, I honestly think most people gave the novel a chance because Andy Weir made a name for himself with The Martian. In Sci-Fi publishing, he’s the brand, so the publishers can indulge a surprise plot point. For a mainstream movie, “from the author of that one Mars movie that didn’t suck and did quite well ten years ago…” doesn’t really move the needle, but "Ryan Gosling is a…

Well, that just might.

Oh, Peppa is a total asshat, but she’d generally have to eat shit in a way certain other kids’ animation asshats didn’t (coughcalilloucough). There was enough of old-school cartoon and comic strip tropes from Warner Brothers shorts and Peanuts that it wasn’t the worst show to endure.

Daddy Pig was pretty badass when the wolf family moved to town.

I’m a few years out from that age range, but Caillou, Ryan’s Toy Reviews, and motherfuckin’ Blippi made Peppa look like Shakespeare.

Some of the jokes in this show seem targeted to adults, which makes no sense, as absolutely nothing in this show is watchable to anyone above the age of 4.

Clearly you never saw the one where Peppa is a stone-cold bitch when she realizes everybody but her can whistle or learn within seconds.

Utahns generally don’t like to draw attention to themselves as firebrands (e.g. Mitt Romney, Orrin Hatch), so methinks the Senator is planning to get into the 2028 presidential primary.

…or ten.

If only we knew where she got her name…

Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Little one can be Tails and play coop.

This comic has always resonated with me. THIS is how we incorrigible know-it-alls of the world can use our powers for good, or at least for not actively evil, LOL.

I haven’t revisited it in some time, but I loved Northern Exposure as a teen. Shit, I even applied to (but didn’t attend) The University of Alaska Fairbanks from Florida. They called to make sure I wasn’t just fucking with them, but I don’t think the admissions person had it in them to put on the hard sell.

That’s about right. Our cockatiel is a little ham, and our blue Budgie (RIP, Ozzie) had “I have no fucking time for this” energy.

I’ve had many laptops over the years, from the original eeePC to 17" portable workstations, and the smallest I personally found to be “usable” on a daily basis were in the 12" class; I used a Sony Z505 throughout law school. Get that size with a usable keyboard and touchpad. Anything reasonably modern with 8GB of RAM should be able to putz around in Linux as a secondary device.
