Mine is the same. Doesn’t care for catnip but goes bonkers for silver vine (particularly the fried fruits) and valerian.

My guess is lower. I’d put the correlation at about -.35 to -.45, so that’d correspond to an R² of .1225 to .2025. But eyeballing correlations is hard.

Here in Germany, I see pick-up trucks more and more, and they often have some company logo on them. They never transport anything either, and the only explanation I have is that they’re basically a “foreman’s car”, driven by people who no longer build things but want to feel like they do.

Man darf nicht vergessen, dass solche Themen häufig eine Projektionsfläche für soziale Identifikationsprozesse sind. Personen, die sich seit langer Zeit vegan ernähren, haben das teils starken Widerständen zum Trotz geschafft. Manchen erlaubt das, anderen gegenüber empathisch zu sein, die auch damit hadern. Andere härtet es ab. Und wieder andere haben solche Widerstände vielleicht nie gespürt und machen es seit jeher problemlos, was dann vielleicht dazu führt, dass man das Hadern derer, die sich schwer tun, gar nicht nachvollziehen kann. Das ist alles zutiefst menschlich. Am Ende möchten die meisten einfach “dazu gehören” zu der Gruppe, die für sie sinnstiftend ist.

I say let the man have his coffee.

That junkie stare.

No, like Settlers. Civ is turn-based. Edit: If you’re looking for a free version of Civ, the FreeCiv (PC) and UnCiv (Android) may interest you.

Best I can do is safe and unimaginative with lots of marketing and a big cast of overpaid actors past their prime.

Es hat wirklich was Lyrisches.

No, this is NordVPN.

Malk, now with vitamin R!

Kidding aside, dairy companies are embarrassing themselves. Everyone I’ve ever met just calls it oat/soy/almond/whatever milk anyway, regardless what’s written on the package, even if they don’t drink it.

Fun fact. Most people (even experts) can often not tell which kind it is when they listen to it while wearing a blindfold.

Letter

Question for the Americans. The Supreme Court has ruled that presidents enjoy automatic immunity for anything they do as part of their official duties (e.g., arrest or kill people). Can he use this to forgive student loans? Like couldn’t he just say “I almost fell down the stairs exiting Air Force One yesterday, and the only way I could save myself was by violently flailing my arms in search of the railing while also forgiving student loans”?

Guys, let’s give Zuck the benefit of the doubt, shall we? For all we know, this could just be the cage fight venue, where he’s going to face off against Musk.

Folks are so quick to judge these days smh…

They hope the jacket falls off naturally and warn against dressing wildlife, which is illegal under provincial law.

I want to know the story behind this law.

I’m not sure I like this guy. Seems sus.

For sure. It’s absolutely valid to criticize the US on all of these points, but when people equate it with what goes on in Russia, it mostly tells me that people don’t fully realize how much worse the situation is in countries like Russia. As someone who was born in an Eastern Bloc country and whose grandparents actually went to jail for their political beliefs, I think it’s good to sometimes remind yourself about how different a life we now thankfully get to enjoy.

A Harris poll reveals that 69% of Americans believe Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs would increase consumer costs, with many planning purchases ahead of his inauguration to avoid price hikes.

Galaxy brain economics.

If you stored the pasta boxes at the bank, then, through the magic of compounding interest, you could have double the number of boxes 10 years from now!
