Please sir, resting bitch face is a serious affliction.

Bonus fact: after getting out of this tree he quickly zoomed to a second tree, which he also climbed.

Omg I know that brand, I gave it as a present to a friend of mine last weekend. Did you get a matching hoodie as well? The pictures of the dog/human combos both wearing the same colours are just astonishingly perfect.

In my opinion, it’s always been about determinism and convergent evolution. Determinism states that if the cards were reshuffled and evolution were to take place again from the beginning, more or less the same would happen. There wouldn’t be sentient octopuses or hive mind ants controlling the planet, because there are simple evolutionary pressures giving rise to features that eventually lead to more or less bipedal apes.

This hooks into convergent evolution. This is about the fact that features like wings and eyes were so successful in terms of evolution they actually evolved independently of each other multiple times. Eyes evolved in different lineages and evolutionary pathways around 65 times during the history of earth. This indicates that simple evolutionary pressures (like needing to look around) will always end up with something that is a lens based retinal pigmented organ. This deterministic view of evolution leads many to believe that on another planet that looks like earth, inhabitants will look like us due to the rules and constraints of evolution.

Both. Sometimes he hears us talking and comes screaming. But mostly we come and go together, except if he gets distracted and vanishes of course.

Hah, the picture reminded me of my first time opening up my laptop. Also burnt through, like open flame and hell of a stench.

Are you taking static electricity into account? I would not be doing this on a woolen carpet haha. You could screw up your circuitry if you don’t have a grounded wire

Can one of our available scientists please confirm how much lbs a mussle can bench-press?

You should read the book Superintelligence, it’s very interesting, and catches not only possibilities and limitations, also societal impact.

Sick that you shot this without a telescope! You must have great night skies where you live! Maybe I’ll try galaxy shots as well some time, I mostly do star trails

You might already know this, but letting cats play with loose pieces of rope is kind of dangerous. My friend had a really expensive cat operation because the lil guy ate the entire rope and it screwed up his intestines.

Super cute though.

Do you use the swipe function? I used to, but recently it’s been a bit horrible

Amazing! I should’ve thought of that, I was there some months ago. Is bagshot row ready yet, or are they still under construction?

Awesome! A friend of mine has loot studios as well, I love their stuff!

Tucker and dale vs evil

But it’s not about hopelessness. It’s about coming to terms with having lived a full life and being fully ready for a dignified end of it. My girlfriend works in a Dutch nursing home and has had the privilege of assisting a couple of euthanasia tracts for the elderly, and she says it’s one of the most magnificent things she was able to do for someone, emotionally speaking. People are very clear about the reasons (which have to be not only discussed, but thoroughly vetted by 2 doctors) and do not make this decision lightly. These is a very high level of clear communication between the family, doctors and patients about all relevant aspects for everyone involved.

I think when you and I reach that age, we will have very different thoughts on life and death.

You just made an enemy for life!

Candy cigarette, love it

The patient, with Steve Carell, amazing show, just one season though.

Scale by Geoffrey West is an insanely interesting read if you’re a bit into superficial science!

I was gonna read the selfish gene by Dawkins, but since it’s probably gonna be such a tough read, do you think your suggestion is a bit easier to digest?
