I love Ender's Game, I've read it twice! Oohh yeah were they controlling ships via FPV in the war?

I just started flying FPV drones and in the Liftoff simulator on steam you can download models of Ukranian drones with payloads to practice flying one of these. I just thought that was interesting.

Thanks, I think the RGB shirt might be custom to him because the same image is his YouTube channel's profile header image.

Her two cubs, born this past winter, were struck and killed hours earlier on the same highway.

:(

Does Technology Connections sell shirts? In most of his recent videos he has worn a black shirt with zoomed in RGB pixels from a digital display and I've been looking for it everywhere because I work in a related industry.

Side question: Should't it also be illegal for Hallie Biden to dispose of an illegal firearm by putting it in a trash can outside a grocery store for a random person to find? That seems like a very irresponsible way to handle a firearm and evidence.

Cody Ko has a funny video walking us through the plot of Milf Manor. https://youtu.be/3hxhHyCcBqw

Thank you, I think it was a mix of anxiety/depression and life circumstances. The stress causes me not to eat enough in the first half of the day and I would feel very low energy.

Since then I've started a new job, moved across the country, got back into the gym, and that reset has helped a lot.

This was me except I was disappointed when the blood test came back completely healthy. I guess it's all in my head after all...

This was the research done by Freakonomics!

We estimate that crime fell roughly 20% between 1997 and 2014 due to legalized abortion. The cumulative impact of legalized abortion on crime is roughly 45%, accounting for a very substantial portion of the roughly 50-55% overall decline from the peak of crime in the early 1990s.

Cultural smells are interesting. In Japan, they find the strong scents of perfume, cologne, and even shampoo that westerners wear to be intolerable and people at restaurants will discreetly ask to change tables to move away from those wearing it. They are more sensitive to fragrances there while Americans have fragrance in almost everything.

Of course, the most respectful thing to do when traveling is to just take a shower and wear a neutral deodorant so that you're not giving off any unique smells.

This situation sure sounds like it blew up into a racist power trip though.
