Are you referring to David Mitchell the comedian, or the author of Cloud Atlas?

Or are they both the same person, too?

How hard have you tried?

To verify that, I’d have to listen to a speech Hegseth wrote himself for comparison—and there’s nothing I’d rather not do.

Institutions aren’t the sum of their parts—their behavior is dependent on human participation, but is largely independent of the values or goals of the participating humans.

Unless you’ve identified a specific weakness and have a plan to exploit it before going in, your participation will probably benefit it more than any opportunistic harms you can do to it while participating.

Grace keeps pushing Smoke to take the vampires head on, before they go to her store and kill her daughter. When the others refuse, she forces it by shouting “come on in, motherfuckers!”

Or that it was a holy relic you’d brought back from the Crusades.

Explain why the US hasn’t gone back in so long, and why with modern technology it seems so difficult?

The Apollo program took 4.5% of the US budget. NASA’s entire budget now—including space telescopes, earth satellites, and interplanetary probes—is less than half of one percent.

If the two Republicans both with the primary and go on to the general election, could a campaign to recall the winner start gathering petitions to get on the general election ballot before they even know who they’re recalling?

Could a candidate get elected and recalled in the same election?

Nationalism—the idea that there ought to be (or ever was) a 1:1 correspondence between countries, cultures, and ancestry—is a 19th-century invention unsupported by history, anthropology, or genetics. Ancestry tests that categorize results by country are obfuscating real data to meet a demand for pop pseudoscience.

MediaWiki’s probably overkill for basic wiki functionality, but I use it for the sake of Semantic MediaWiki and associated extensions. But SMW has more of a learning curve, so it might not be worth it for a casual-use wiki.

One of the many debated claims about Pirahã is that female speakers can’t use the phoneme /h/, always substituting /s/ instead.

Everything else we do is just breathing with more motor activity.

Why would OP’s mother bring up the ultrasound in the first place if she were deliberately trying to conceal anything?

I could see the twin being stillborn and the doctors thinking it was easier to tell the mother it had “vanished”, though.

Maybe it was the equivalent of a competitor making a bunch of fake one-star Yelp reviews.

Has Trump considered making the ship look like a big horse?

I live on the edge of my city’s Chinatown (Oakland, California) and it’s an important part of the local culture. I’ve lived, worked, and studied with Chinese/Taiwanese nationals, and if they weren’t there I’d feel like something was missing.

Penguin publishes reference “dictionaries” of various subjects, that are more like mini-encyclopedias. I’ve got ones covering mathematics, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and literary theory.

Reading is a direct extension of oral storytelling, which is a defining human activity. So a better parallel would be to eating—and non-readers are the ones in an abnormal state, like being chronically malnourished.

I’m not sure I’m accurately visualizing exactly what you’re describing, but I know from experience working with a two-color offset press that the results are quite different if you print two colors in two passes vs one pass (in which the inks are combined on a “blanket” where they effectively mix together before being transferred to the paper all at once).

In the first case, the result is exactly what you’d expect from a subtractive color model; but in the latter case, the mixed ink that ends up on the paper is no darker than the component inks. The hue is similar whether overprinted or mixed, but the saturation is reduced in the mixed example.
