Not an expert, but I've always understood that what you're describing is pansexual. I've understood the bisexual is general attraction to both men and women. Pansexual is attraction to any person.

Again, give or take any given person's own chosen labels and attractions that might vary.

Ray Charles beat them all (kinda, sometimes)

MadTV did a good skit about this years ago

Right move. Wrong reason.

No one is "safe" but there's clearly a difference at a macro level of different regions. House to house isn't a difference, but with so many people working full-remote, people are able to choose which cities they live in, so that comparative data is still useful.

He's been amazing in more dramatic roles many times. Watch "The Foreigner (2017)," "Shinjuku Incident (2009)," and "New Police Story (2004)."

That said, he's had issues - cozied up to the Xi regime, issues with alcohol and drunk driving, a son in frequent trouble with the law where Daddy bailed him out... So you have to hold his nose a bit to watch movies. And he's clearly got a bit of the Nic Cage in him where he can do some great stuff, but also doesn't seem to say no to anything, so he does a lot of trash movies.

Save you a click: not surprisingly, they plan to add a ton of AI features that no one asked for ("agentic OS") tired to the cloud, etc, to the point that it will require new AI-specific hardware to run.

Sorry it was someone else who mentioned tomatoes

You're also talking about orchards and tomatoes in a "no lawns" community. I think you're a little lost

The point made in the article: Except wood mulch soaks up the water itself and then it evaporates from the wood chips and lots of water never makes it to the soil.

Maybe that works if you live in an area that gets so much rain it can still soak through to soil after soaking the mulch, but in a lot of the world during summer, that won't be the case.

I can't speak to soil bacteria, but I'm pretty sure ecosystems have evolved to have healthy soil without requiring wood chip mulch (leaf cover in the winter is a different story, of course, so don't rake/blow your leaves!)

Soil evaporation? You mean to keep soil from drying out? Or do you mean to prevent soil eroding?

The article discusses how it can actually contribute to soil drying out.

I would think it would be worse for erosion as well, given that it prevents roots from growing and roots are the best erosion prevention there is.

Chadwick Bowsman in anything, but I would have loved it if he could have had a real close to the Black Panther character. If I have a magic wand I'd cure his cancer, of course. But even giving him just a few more years so he could give that character a worthy send off and better set up the rest of his universe.

Don't sleep on "A Knight's Tale"

 

The expansion is based on internationally established definitions of the continental shelf, and comes from research and surveys conducted by various groups going back to 2003, confirming where the continental shelf actually is.

Interestingly, this doesn't include the water column above this territory, so it doesn't mean control of fishing or shipping lanes. Only seabed/underground mineral/drilling/pipelines control. Depending on policy and which political party is in control at the time, this could mean preventing others from drilling these areas, or (more likely?) making a profit off allowing drilling here.

Most of the addition is in the Arctic, but includes territory around the whole country.

Either in a client (I've been using Jeroba) or in my Lemmy profile. I'd love to be able to block words I don't want to see stuff about... Like trying to avoid spoilers for movies, or just wanting to avoid mentions of certain people, but without blocking entire communities.
