Tiny jet engine that thrusts uphill to counteract gravity whenever your hand isn’t on the mouse

I have a double-walled cafetiere and a double-walled mug that combine to make a very pleasant slow coffee experience

As I understand it - with the disclaimer that I have no particular expertise or experience in the matter - it’s not quite as dire as that. Historically the USA accounted for basically the entire world’s production, and American reserves that are known and economical to access are getting within something like 50 years of running out. However, other countries have begun to produce much more substantially in recent years, and we probably do have enough to last a good while once the rest of world reserves are accounted for

However it is still functionally non-renewable and meaningfully finite, so we shouldn’t waste it

There’s some research done on aerogel airships. There’s still hope

Helium has problems of its own, sadly. Besides being a little bit less effective at actually lifting, it’s relatively scarce on Earth and it leaks even faster than hydrogen

The crew realised that they were in the Red Sea, were all briefly possessed by the spirit of Joseph McCarthy, and immediately began deploying aircraft to fight the commie water

It’s on its way, the Ukrainian truck is towing it

Wait shit you’re right. I will blame the fact that I got some vaccinations yesterday and was feeling super ill

Ahhh okay, I have a suspicion of which one you mean so I won’t say anything more about it. No, the thing I posted is a quote from character that OP painted (other than I replaced “time loop” with “painting”, of course)

I don’t think sharing the title is really a spoilers issue. After all, it’s the first thing any new player sees! OP has already shared it anyway

For those wondering, it’s Outer Wilds. Not to be confused with the Outer Worlds, which released at about the same time. Seriously though if you like puzzle games and piecing stories together, do not spoil it for yourself. The entire game is figuring out what happened; once you know, you can’t learn it again

"Personally, I like new experiences, and I’ve never been in a painting before. I mean, I don’t think I’ve been in a painting before this one."

Yes in the sense that basically everything you do is trying to uncover clues to figure out what’s going on. No in terms of the scale of the map. It’s very dense and compact, rather than just being huge. There’s lots to find, but you can cross the entire map in just a few minutes once you get the hang of piloting the ship. Just about every area has some kind of hidden spot though

They would, but they also did. They were herbivores

To be clear I do not actually think that they were as stocky as that pic. Point is that for land animals, though, eating plants actually is often the way to being huge

There was no distinction between V and U when W first started being used. They were considered the same letter, with V just being the style for writing it at the start of words (like that long S that looks like an f). So you would write “have” as haue and “upon” as vpon.

When it was representing a consonant in classical Latin, it sounded like a modern English W. So the famous veni vidi vici - I came, I saw, I conquered - was pronounced more like wenee weedee weekee.

Eventually the V sound started to emerge in some places where Latin and its descendants had used that W sound before, and people started treating the two forms as different letters. By this point the W was already in widespread use, though, so whatever people already called it had a good chance of sticking

“WE CAN’T PROVE THEY WEREN’T HUGE FATBIRDS”

If anything on this Earth should look like a Jurassic Park dinosaur it’s hippos

Hippos and rhinos get pretty big on that diet! If anything plants are a better diet for something really chunky because plants cannot run away
