We're working on promoting that Stem Bolt. It recently got an excellent recommendation from Admiral Janeway.
Indeed. Lactose tolerance is a powerful mutation. The rest of us should fear them for their superior genes.

I can imagine it would be hard to maintain lactose tolerance with a dairy allergy.
"millionaires tax" is such a ludicrous misnomer.
This is a tax on people with over $1 million income annually. It's very hard to sink as low as becoming a mere "millionaire" on $1 million annual income.
A person making $1 million in income would need mutliple expensive hobbies, multiple nasty drug habits and to recklessly sink a few yachts, just to drop as low in net worth as a humble jeans-wearing crime-avoiding salt-of-the-earth "millionaire".
An average chap who spent 40 years owning a small lawn mowing business is a millionaire. This tax doesn't touch his money, at all.
I guess "multimillionaire" and "decamillionaire" don't roll off the tongue, in headlines, though.

The prosecution rests this - quite frankly open-and-shut - case."
"When... This song... Is gone...!"
Have you ever been to PowerShell Summit? It's the only nerd conference I've ever attended where only about half the attendees actually realized they are nerds at a nerd conference. I love the vibe. It's got style and pizzazz.
That said, the added entry for PowerShell would still be: "You are a nerd."
Well shit. It's got me dead to rights on a couple of these.
I think my favorite tale from this book is the one with the two belligerent assholes (who confront Luke and then ObiWan), being various forms of belligerent and assholes in other contexts. It's surreal, but fitting.
It's beautiful. Now I'm picturing this on a throw pillow, paired with "You're out of your element!"
It's perfect.
