It’s not just random fat, though. IIRC, things like EPA acids and DHA acids found in fish oil supplements are high-quantity in the brain.

Though, I’m sure we’ve all met lard-heads in life…

Most people in recorded history, perhaps.

Recorded history is a tiny fraction of human history, and of course we used to live radically different lives before civlisation came a knockin’.

I started cutting my own hair decades ago, and tapering is probably the first and easiest thing I learned. Blending different lengths on longer hair is much more of a challenge IME. That and specialised styles I guess, which I never really bothered with.

Yes, I understand. Just wanted to mention those for anyone interested.

Good luck with the new sub. 👍

I mean… that indeed has been the traditional state of sapiens, which arguably went back long before us.

In the modern sense though we can still be both, as well moving in more than one circle or liking more than one general type of people. Sociality as a muscle instead of a survival skill, one might say.

Fascinating.

Excellent reply, thank you!

Counterpoint-- it was heavily marketed as a chocolate substitute starting back in the 70’s IIRC, so it’s unsurprising consumers think it’s like chocolate. And chocolate never needed a substitute anyway, IMO. Dark chocolate’s a perfectly healthy treat, after all.

Regardless, what would you use carob in?

a source of mass moving through the solar system at some point.

That’s interesting.

After refreshing myself on the article, it seems that Planet X is kinda like a far-flung Jupiter, collecting / influencing all kinds of satellites WAY outside the inner Sol-system orbits.

Point is-- I think you’re gonna need a rocket ship precisely calculated to make that happen. 😄

IIRC some hairs have maximum length limit and some will keep growing, generally based on position on body. Eye-lashes and most body hair being of the former, while skull and beard hair being of the latter.

You can see pictures online of people who’ve let their head or beard hair grow for years, and the results can be pretty amazing. Ditto finger nails.

I used to prefer Japanese, but it’s Korean by a landslide, now. I’ve pretty much cut out empty-calorie foods, so noodles no longer have much attraction to me. And I prefer ceviche now over sushi & sashimi. And I love vegetables and spicy food.

I remember… Alan Garcia with his stupid-ass “agua por todos” campaign, or whatever that fraud deal was. So I’m always worrying about El Perú… all my dear relatives there. And the land, of course. The dear, wonderful, spectacular, dry landscape and biome of Perú. <3

Ah, dammit… so much fresh-water for us depends on melting glacier ice to create potable water sources, no?

Harvesting posts via AI now, eh…?

Yeah, I had that one too. IIRC it was an upgraded version with cool live-action cut scenes. John Rhys-Davies was one of the main actors.

Brilliant game, thank you.

Age sucks, lol.

Huh! Was that a sequel?

(god, this stuff was so long ago!)

I tried to ping you just now from a Monty Python song post.

Did you get that?

Oh. Same!
