Better than pavement. Of course some native grasses would be better, but this is still an improvement.

Exactly this! Videos under 6 seconds are often pretty cool, but they player covers the video with buttons, shortcuts are all different, everything is so inaccessible, you get shouted at to consume the next video, and it either takes all the screen space or a tiny sliver.

It's like talking to a caffeine soaked squirrel.

There are probably a few handfuls of other parasites that would count too.

We really should rename botanical berries to something else.

Algae and plankton. It also obviously takes longer than a few minutes, like at least an hour.

This reminds me of some maps by Andy Woodruff.

They weren't made to find long lines, and picking out a single line can be a tad difficult, but it's very interesting nonetheless.

It almost makes me think the higher ups got paid to kill Unity. All the C-suite got golden parachutes if they kill the project now.

Then I remember OGL and the fat lack of competition they had, and remember C-suite often don't know what they're actually in charge of. Malice vs stupidity and such.

There are lots of reasons for using a smartphone beyond avoiding engaging in conversation though. Looking things up, sharing contact info, planning another date, paying for the meal/event, even going to a movie can almost require an app.

I'm not saying these would be the majority of the time or anything, but not using your phone whatsoever is more of a limitation than you'd think.

I think his comment is reading way way too much into it. The comic is basically saying that "left" is willing to question authority, while "right" takes it as gospel and asks for more.

There's also the claim that criticising weath disparity while living in a very weath-centric system is somehow an endorsement of that weath-centric system.

Guy seems to just want to dump on the idea of left, so I'll leave a downvote and let him dump in peace.

And I will continue to assail your hill with; wet is a property that water has.

Wet is simply the surface tension balance of a substance. If a fluid sticks to somthing, it is wet. You can wet your brush, yes, but also wet a soldering iron, or wet every surface with superfluid. Wet refers to the conducting of fluid, capillary action, all the effects of surface tension adhering to something.

How wetting a substance is of another substance is usually measured by the angle a droplet makes upon contact. More sticky (adhesive) and less blobby (cohesive) means more wetting. Cohesion being simply self-adhesion means any fluid with surface tension necessarily totally wets itself, otherwise it's a gas. And since water is a cohesive liquid (with a rather strong surface tension), it is by definition wet.

It doesn't matter what the intent is here, the headline is misleading, which is poor journalist integrity. Both malice and ignorance can sink a ship.
