@xinniw I think the main reason is that lobbyists argued for complicated tax rules that permit wealthy people to hire tax lawyers to find loopholes and reduce their tax burden.
tip you up a cup of soup. sip, chew, sip, chew. that's the life
i wonder what it's like for the ants that are "left behind" in an ant hill. are they actually left behind or are they done kind of cleanup crew to bring in resources they had to leave in the main migration? or are they even the left behind? maybe these are actually the vanguard of a group of new residents?

@ami_angelwings The greatest ever, BBC Panorama's 1957 Swiss Spaghetti Harvest hoax. It's perfect in every way. https://youtu.be/8scpGwbvxvI

Back in 2008 the Stockholm public transport company announced the release of the Subway Crocs, which had the same chip as the regular subway cards so agile passengers could just lift their foot up to the sensor instead of having to dig through their pockets for the card.

"The Fediverse was a collection of small virtual city states in a loose alliance with each other made primarily of refugees and exiled nobility from the Twitter Empire. While these states were in theory allied with each other in a common cause, in practice they most often bickered and fought amongst each other."

food, baked good
the rolls actually have too much salt: I didn't adjust my salt for the reduced quantity of flour. thankfully, it's not too too salty. enough that I reduced salt in my beans though to compensate
food, baked good
back on my bullshit. I'm still messing around with higher hydration dough. I really like the resulting crumb structure

3D model of the "pistol grip tool" mentioned in the episode
very informative episode. Dr. Darcy describes how NASA JSC makes batteries safe for space flight. There's also a follow-up at the end sharing some a development in battery safety research.
(also, Gary shares that his son being born is why he's been taking a break from new episodes. so, that's nice)
