ZOMG LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE SHALE
Okay, so the Burgess Shale is a fossil bed in British Columbia that contains a whole bunch of fossils of weirdass creatures from the Cambrian era, over 500 million years ago. But the great thing about the shale is that it has fossilized SOFT PARTS!

Important note for fans of Greek philosophy: δαίμων = time!!
Another wonderful discovergy I made is that *deh₂y- + *-mṓ in Proto-Germanic became *dh₂i-mon- (time, period), while in Greek it became δαίμων (god, departed soul, evil spirit), which is the source of "demon"
"time" and "demon" are cognates!
The god, of course, is an agent who divides our supplies

I don’t believe in treating the idea of beating a joke into the ground as a pejorative, I think it’s our responsibility, like a hunter who uses every part of the deer instead of letting it go to waste

Is using the title "Future Doctor" bad karma when I still have a year and a half left in my PhD program?

I told my sister that the television show the "X-Files" was a great documentary, which she should watch. I don't think she realized the joke, and part of me hopes she realizes it at the funniest time possible.

This is niche but I was just listening to an episode of Mom Can’t Cook where a listener wrote in about seeing someone who looked like Rian Johnson in an old Disney Channel commercial and he asked Rian Johnson about it and this is the exact level of delightful nerd shit this website should be about
Before I made my first movie I worked at the Disney channel producing promos and was in charge of Zoog interstitials and you have made my day

![policy incentives for solar PV in Sweden [53]. As a result, in these countries except for Japan, the area on the golf courses would be sufficient for the less prioritized technology but not for the prioritized one. By contrast, in countries such as the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Japan or Australia, the capacity forecasts up to 2028 and beyond could comfortably be achieved with an area equivalent to the golf course land.
Discussion
This study does not advocate that golf courses should be completely replaced but is intended to provide a perspective on how much renewable energy systems could be installed on a comparable area. It is also important to note that the energy use on golf courses in the United States has decreased since the early 2000s, in particular due to the reduction of the maintained turfgrass acreage and the increased use of clean energy sources [54, 55].

The fallacye that "higher ed degree must leade to a job wyth same name" ys deeplye harmful to present-daye societye. A philosophye major kan do businesse just as well as a businesse major. Yn some wayes perhaps even bettir. Thys fallacye ys useful onlye to those who seeke to kill higher ed.
