IDK man, the people with no or few friends tend to be weird but not really bad in any meaningful way: socially awkward, shy, odd interests, neurodivergent etc. Difficult to get to know, plain and simple. People with a lot of friends are often worse people, manipulative and/or have a transactional attitude to relationships

Tired: obsessing over the roman empire

Wired: obsessing over other ancient civilizations

Angry and vindictive? You're the one hate-reading a community you clearly don't like

Bring a printed copy of your ESTA / visa for immigration. Get some kind of travel insurance that covers health emergencies, and have proof of that printed as well.

In other words, no good options. Few people were truly excited to vote for Kamala. That's the issue.

There were no good options. And that’s because of the electoral system.

In my home country of Finland, you can be elected from prison.

If nobody reaches 270 electoral votes, rather than having a second round, the congress decides who wins. FPTP in general. And that most states would give all electoral votes to a candidate with 51% of the vote.

Some features, such as melanin levels, are due to evolutionary pressures. High levels of melanin protect you from the sun, lower levels of melanin boost your vitamin D production.

Other features are just random. Over time, human populations were affected by random changes that weren't exactly useful but not detremental either. They're called sprandels. According to a quick Google search, blue eyes don't seem to have any advantages, but not really any major disadvantages either, so that would be an example of that.

I've had both H450 and HD458, had the same issue on both of them, though as you note only on one side. Apart from that and them repeating "connection lost" forever, they are great headphones.

 

Tuli tässä yksi päivä illanvietossa vastaan amerikkalainen, joka halusi yllättää pari suomalaista kaveriaan järjestämällä yllätysjuhlat, joissa tarjoiltaisiin suomalaista ruokaa. Asun ulkomailla, ja olin siksi paras henkilö vastaamaan hänen kysymyksiinsä suomalaisesta ruuasta. Mutta olipas yllättävän vaikeaa.

Kysymys kuuluukin: mitä suomalaisia ruokia sinä suosittelisit? Minun oli erityisen vaikeaa keksiä hyviä suomalaisia ruokalajeja, jotka eivät kuuluisi paikalliseen ruokakulttuuriin myös täällä Ruotsissa. Karjalanpiirakat tuli siinä hetkessä mieleen, jälkeenpäin ehkä pinaattiletut.
