Because rabbits used to be omnivores, their digestive systems aren’t really well adapted to their current grass-heavy diet. To absorb all the nutrients they need, they have two kinds of poop: the dry pellets you might see in a rabbit pen, and the soft stuff that they poop directly into their mouths.

Growing up an elder millennial, the way I understood it as a kid was Ms was short for Miss and both meant unmarried, Mrs meant married, and the name was the woman’s last name. Whether she took her husband’s last name was a separate matter, but you called her by whatever last name she wanted.

We saw it with Biden, and we can see it again here, the dems aren't really interested in being trade partners with Canada any either. They mostly won't be as rude about it as Trump, but I think the idea that the tariffs end when Trump's presidency does is wishful thinking.

“Walkable cities means you can walk home from the bar instead of driving drunk” is probably the easiest and most effective sell. Everything else is academic.

This is literally a full work week of homework (technically a touch more at ~42 hours). Also, many of these also require homework, so add another ~66 hours of supplemental homework to the assigned homework. Or spend that time doing literally anything else.

Bought a mini PC that was supposed to come with 32GB of RAM and a 1TB NVMe drive. It wouldn't post, so after some troubleshooting I popped it open and... it's been stripped. Guessing this unit was previously purchased, stripped, and returned. It's getting desperate out there.

A) are you expected to fully remove your pants and hang them on a hook out of frame? B) why does there appear to be two seats, and why does the top one appear too long and hinged too low to sit flat when lowered? C) you don’t ride a horse that is sitting.

My wife was in her second trimester when the lockdowns started here. We only found out I could be present for the birth the week of. The pandemic took everything that made our walkable neighbourhood great, and WFH with a newborn in the next room with no activities or distraction sucked for everyone.

Headline of a Q&A in New Yorker formatting

Headline: A panicked middle-aged man refuses to tell me directions to the bathroom.

Subhed: Please, I just have to pee. I'm in a hurry.

By Isaac Chotiner
March 4, 2026Excuse me.

Oh, God. Oh, no. Holy shit. Get away from me.

I was wondering if you knew where the bathrooms are.

Look, I'm ... it's not a crime to scroll through your high school girlfriend's Instagram account. We remained friends after high school! I was at her wedding! It's only natural to see how she's doing.I'm in a bit of a hurry, and I'm afraid that if I choose the wrong corridor, I'll be late for my train.

I think they're down that way, but I'm actually from out of town. Please stop talking to me.Real quick, though. I agree that it's natural to be interested in an old friend, but aren't you afraid about the message you might be sending by liking a picture of her at the beach from 2015?

If that did happen, and I'm only going off your word, it was probably an accident. They put the ... scroll bars or whatever ... close to the thumbs up button. People have been complaining about that for years. I've been complaining about that for years.

This war between Israel/US and Iran is an interesting test of assassination and 'leadership decapitation'. Many scholars have written about targeted killing practices, including myself, but mainly in the context of counter-terrorism or counterinsurgency. What happened now is different. 1/

A long time ago, I used to know a lot about foreign-imposed regime change (FIRC) and study them. I guess that makes me qualified to write a thread about them, especially in wake of Trump bombing Iran. So here goes nothing. 🧵

Remove the last sentence of the fourth paragraph and the fifth paragraph entirely and this statement is perfectly fine. But those two sentences turn this into a shameful statement that abandons whatever moral authority Davos had imparted.
