I’m surprised no one has brought it up so far. This is from way back when the US was still expanding east to west. Land Ordinance of 1785

It was literally just a means of dividing up the land to make it easier to manage. This is why much of the plains states follow such rectangular county/state lines between water geography.

Edit: States that had their counties/borders established before this act will have more organic geography following boundaries. Counties/States settled after 1785 will display this grid-like pattern.

I can see my house!

I know they’re harmless and help with pests. But they got away too many legs and move just as fast for me to be comfortable with them. I’ll take cute little jumping spiders webbing things any day over these.

I’d gladly trust drinking a Dr pepper over anything to do with Dr Phil or Dr oz

Having the flexible screen facing externally on one fold seems quite reckless considering how fragile they still are by virtue of needing to be flexible. Having a Fold 4, the screen definitely relies on the thin film screen protector that the flexible screens come with. But because the screen is contained internally, it’s protected by the device.

Having it unprotected means any drops on a surface that is able to hit the screen directly will most likely lead to cracks in the LED layer and kill the screen. And the geometry of the folded part would imply that any impacts will most certainly lead to cracks. You can test this by folding a piece of paper in a similar manner and then hitting the folded part. It’ll make tiny very sharp creases in the paper, and these creases are what kills the screen.

OP are you a bot?

Stars don’t burn anything anyway.

I’ve been seeing a few details coming out from this about gas pipelines being a big reason for a push into this particular region of Russia. But things I haven’t seen talked about are things like this will cause Russia to have to spread troops thinner from the eastern fronts to handle this incursion. It’s also far enough away from Belarus that they don’t need to worry about any collateral damage. And most importantly, it’s in the general direction of Moscow so it cranks things up a notch in terms of proximity to the general population.

Please do not boop this snoot for your own safety. Sometimes they get curious and may investigate you if you’re near their waters. Please do not freak out as they’re just curious but above all else: Do not boop

Crossing my fingers and will be contributing to this hat trick come November

HFY = Humanity Fuck Yeah! A place for writers to post their stories about humans being awesome. Many of them were sci-fi space operas which is what I loved.

I’ll bite the bait and ask you to explain how Starlink satellites contribute towards the space junk problem without having to reference astronomy or bringing up you-know-who’s name.
