Society can do nothing but evolve. The world has changed and society has changed with the aspects best able to continue in the modern world being those thar continued.

Is society better off or not is a good question.

For example the Catalytic converter in gas cars usually use platinum as the catalyst. They brake down carbon monoxide and various nitrogen oxides.

Blah got it backwards. Back to coffee for me.

Twice a time period. Semi for every two time periods. So every two weeks is semiweekely. However it gets misused so often you almost always have to check making it almost useless.

Similar to failsafe vs redundant.

So any stainless steel will do that. No need for a special disk. I use a stainless steel removedtail shaker to peal garlic. Then when I rinse it clean it also removes the smell from my hands.

Just drop the cloves into the shaker and shake hard for 30-45 seconds. Most of the garlic is now peeled and some just need a bit help. So much faster and easier.

No. The heat from peppers is an oil. Dry finger tips absorb the oil. So either gloves or rub a drop of neutral oil on your fingers before handling peppers.

Watashi no nihongo wa warui desu yo.

4,375,000,000 of the 3 1/2" disks. Sierra would be proud.

Going postal.

I love Dave Barry"s writing.

Having a finale where there is a nuke on a passenger plane come out right after 9/11 kind of killed it. They held back it’s release for years and them quietly dumped it.

So funny. It had a terrible trailer probably why it bombed.

Same. Heritage Foundation involvement is another red flag.

Hey it looks good. That’s the only good thing I can say about it.

It’s based on a art book that’s very good. Electric State was based on a another book also by Simon Stålenhag.

Lodge 49. Young guy joins a fictional group based on masons and other similar groups. It’s a hanging with friends show with some plot.

My problems with the progress flag and the trans rainbow flag are not with the groups or ideas they are ment to express.

First like OP I think they are bad flag designs. To busy and lack the simple design a flag should have. I also just don’t like the look.

Second there is value in a consistent recognizable design like the rainbow. I spot all sorts of variants and often don’t know what they are supposed to mean.

I also don’t think there should be spefic meaning to the parts. Saying this color stripe is this group and that color is another group is problematic.

The rainbow colors were meant to symbolize broad inclusion. Everybody under the rainbow. Red isn’t gay, blue isn’t lesbian, etc. (I know some have tried to add that after the fact).

When you start adding spefic groups to the flag you start having included groups and excluded groups. So as much as I support trans rights and think they belong in the community I don’t want any spefic group in the flag.

You then get groups that are not included and want a new flag to included them. Like we are seeing with the trans flag causing groups to want the progress flag. Pretty soon the rainbow is going to look like nascar with logos everywhere.

A simple consistent flag with the message of broad inclusion is better.

The US has been a net exporter of refined petroleum since 2010.

I’m of the option that the original rainbow flag is still the best. It was meant to include everyone under the rainbow so trans people and others are already included.

The anime Uncle From Another World talks about Guardian Heroes a lot. It’s a fun show you should chek it out.
