The entire website seems fake! The quoted archaeologist sounds like GPT.

Leaving aside the topics of authenticity and the questions' historical context, it's interesting that the article claims that "most" of the questions are impossible, while >80% have a single clear interpretation. For example, "draw a line under the last word in this line."

When I was on Android I looked for a period-tracking app but could only find cloud-based ones, so I didn't track my period for many years. Appreciate you.

It feels like they're implying rapid climate change killed the moas in less than 200 years, coincidentally right after human arrival. Nothing to do with being hunted to extinction?

Strange article.

Oh eek, I retract my comment!

The first paragraph is misleading enough that I stopped reading; there's no evidence that Thiel has NZ citizenship "as a hedge against the looming apocalypse" (?), and he recently sold that "500 acre estate".

He was given citizenship by a conservative-leaning Prime Minister in the hopes that he would invest in the local tech scene, which he has. The $50 million he invested is not a lot by silicon valley standards but it is a fair amount for New Zealand, and it went to some of NZ's best startups (possible bias, I worked at one).

Our last level four lockdown was in April of 2020 - where are you getting your information?

I don't know anything about photography but your clear-eyed writing made my day.

Do you have any (including speculative) ideas that could explain why our news is so bad, given that most journalists are passionate about their work?

The liberty cap is not a distinctive mushroom (small, round cap, brown). The amanita muscaria is beautiful and distinct enough that we recognise it in paintings hundreds of years later.

Perhaps the painter chose it for its beauty, or perhaps because it was both distinctive and psychedelic. No way to know. But the academics claiming that "the plant in this fresco has nothing whatever to do with mushrooms" are embarrassing.

Interesting that Adam appears with no ribs at all then.

Money can be exchanged for goods and services.

In addition, work doesn't need to consume the majority of waking hours. If you have a high-paying job at a company with a nice culture you can spend ~4 hours a day or less working, with the rest of the time spent reading articles on the internet, browsing hacker news, occasionally replying to Slack messages etc.

Are there any chefs who unify veganism with traditional cuisines that use lots of animal products, e.g. french or chinese? I would love to be vegetarian but I'm lucky in that my partner makes fantastic traditional food and I don't want to give it up.

Vegan modifications along the lines of 'substitute the meat in your burger for mushroom' seem depressing, like they're unengaged with the balance of flavours in the dish.

I would love the source for this. It seems too ridiculous to be true unless they're using a non-standard definition of 'influencer'.

I can only pair effectively if I feel fully comfortable with the person I'm pairing with, and I would not feel uncomfortable disclosing who meets or does not meet that criteria at work.

Software engineers tend to be less comfortable socially so I imagine other people share this perspective.

That seems like it could be an interpretation problem where the definition of sex changes to only include penetrative sex in the context of the safe sex question.

Later in the article they divorce - I think the less-than-nuanced description of those beliefs is him looking down his nose at his ex-wife.

My recipe finding tip: google translate the thing you want to cook into the language of the cuisine you want, then search the result in youtube for an authentic recipe.

I learn by reading, but when cooking videos seem to work best.
