Also possibly a pomegranate, which comes from medieval latin for “apple with many seeds”. Lots of things were called apples in the past, and many languages still do that, like the French words for potato; “Pomme de terre” which means “Apple of the earth”.
Apple just kinda mean fruit, so it’s quite vague.
You could set up your own cloud, yes, but you could also use only ‘client’ devices, without ever having an off-site computer in the network.
Top half? 0-50°C is the top half. The bottom half is -50-0°C.
Even better, I don’t even feel a fever until it’s 104°F. I’ve just looked it up, and that’s exactly 40°C. Even my body likes round centigrade numbers.
If you want to edit macros in Excel, you’ll see a Vista window. Vista! In 2024!
Would that make invasive species unnatural? When does a disrupted ecosystem become natural again?
Trust the process maybe? This post is about the process of science correcting errors after all.
These are fantastic documentaries BTW, highly recommend if you liked Mayday, NOVA, Life, or any long form investigative journalism.
That is one big advantage of being divine, yes.
Even then, curses can complicate matters, and a pantheon without an applicable power will need to endeavor to make a change.
A Greater Foe could argue for a saving throw, especially if it’s against their will. A Gift might not even be enough if the deformity affects their divine soul, which sounds like a good quest hook.
I think the refractory period is a hormone response and not tissue damage/fatigue. It could be ‘healed’ in a similar way horniness, PMS, pregnancy, tiredness (but not the need for sleep), hunger, and moods can be ‘healed’.
It could also be a peripheral autonomic feedback response, in which case it could be ‘healed’ in a similar way to suppressing automatic breathing, bowel movements, automatic reflexes, and possibly the fine tuning of balance.
Such a spell could porobably exist, alongside a suite of other weird spells that were likely developed first, like Calm Emotions or unnamed but almost guaranteed to exist contraceptive spells. Some debuff spells of a unique variety could be quite interesting too, with breathing suppression being the rare effect that would require an intelligence save.
A potion would probably be the cheaper option though; plain old erection juice should suffice.
There are plenty of arguments for/about various gods that fall apart under basic scrutiny. Apologists still use them all the time, and people who doubts often lap them up.
Put so blunty they do sound like strawmen, but people really argue for these things.
Gun! Unix? Not!
Are the version numbers going to be mm or caliber?
We have made some amazing discoveries with full-sky maps and analysis of the CMB. The human genome project has also yeilded a wealth of discoveries.
Especially considering that PDFs can be just a few Mb, and I doubt people will care if they’re not cached locally.
GNU isn’t punchy though; as soon as any punchy word get’s associated with them, people will use that word instead, and we’ll just get GNU/Thermite or GNU/Abson or something.
Well if we want to get pedantic, every unique thing passed around and spread is a meme. Jokes, art styles, idioms, words, greetings, most social behavior really. And you can go a step further and say diseases, species, even all of life is a meme.
And if there ever was a place to use this definition of meme it would be… LinguisticMemes, but this is a good second place.
The surface of stars are the coolest parts anyway, even the atmosphere is way hotter.
And no mention of neutron stars or feeding black holes? If you’re going to one up someone, at least do it right…
See that’s more realistic. Sneaking off to walmart is still a bit of a stretch in sprawl-hell, but I can see how a cheap locally available phone might make it’s way into anyone’s hands, especially as a hand-me-down.

Ogham is awesome
I’ve used it for cryptic languages in TTRPGs before, alongside a few other runic scripts like ᛖᛚᛞᛖᚱ᛫ᚠᚢᚦ︍ᚨᚱᚲ.
My favorite is Gallifreyan, which doesn’t have unicode, is far too niche and homebrewed to have unicode, and how the hell would unicode even work?
No it works, you just need to go without https security. You might need to allow your browser to do that though.
