The only problem I have with, “They” is that it requires context to distinguish the plural form and the singular. We need a dedicated, genderless word for singular third-person.

This is why the discriminator /s is necessary for comments like that.
I can think of only a few reasons why the military would have you take training in Texas:
Gunslingin’ with revolvers, single and akimbo
Practicing the perfect “Yeehaw”
Wrasslin’
Combat maneuver training in boots with spurs
Lasso training
The early Chrome was crazy fast when it had none of the bloat.
This one has a cloth like padding at the forehead, it collects the sweat but gets saturated and beads up on the front and rolls off.
It’s nice to have if it isn’t a lot of sweat, but when your entire face is drenched, it does that.
I was working outside this week (Southern US) and it was an absolutely miserable week. After a half an hour I was drenched in sweat, and it was rolling off my hard hat, getting in my eyes, and I was forced to pace myself and work much slower than I would otherwise be able to do because the heat was that intense.
I was able to drink some of my coconut water reserve because it has the things plants crave.
It’s definitely the worst summer heat I’ve felt since ever.
That’s why I believe that the username crisis is real. Future generations won’t have short usernames and will have to use increasingly longer usernames to have a unique one, or have a Redditesque default [word1][word2][4numbers].
We might as well just go all out and just have everyone use a UUID with minimal chances of username collision.
A cool thought about sourdough starters is that they are unique. A starter from 1897 should impart a flavor unlike any other starter. It’s like the snowflake of the yeasty realm.
I’ve got a book that has been out of print for decades that I’ve painstakingly scanned in page by page. Is there a way I can donate it to the archive?
So many trackers that even a kennel of bloodhounds can’t keep up with it.
earth.nullschool.net is a pretty cool visualizer of all things meteorological.
A bit older, but how did time even get standardized between time zones so we’re all synchronized to the same minute / second, only being different by the hour?
She’s the best thing that’s happened to the s scientific publishing field. I’m no longer a student but I still enjoy reading scientific papers and I’ll be damned if I have to pay $20 per article (which doesn’t go to the authors) since I no longer have access to a library that maintains relationships with these big publishers.
Dude they sell our data to advertisers and big data for profit. The least they can do is provide some services for us for the amount of analytics they collect from us on a daily basis.
