You know how normally a joke about something absurd happening is best left unillustrated for the reader to imagine because you'd never be able to live up to the reputation of it in illustration or detailed description (see: the pasta incident)
HOLY SHIT IT'S WAY MORE ABSURD THAN ANYTHING THAT WAS IN MY HEAD.

Reply to comment by MarcusForrest in TIL - That avocado seeds are so large because they depended on extinct megafauna to eat and disperse them. by byronhadleigh
That's where I wanted to get I just didn't have the time to spend on it. very interesting and makes a lot more sense.

It's just a well considered hypothesis for why the seeds are so large.
There's a lot of selective pressures on all kinds of attributes of plants. One would imagine the size of seeds avocados had before we domesticated them had the best odds of surviving being consumed and "distributed" by megafauna like giant sloths. I don't know exactly how we know that they ate these fruits but I assume it's better than a guess.

Reply to comment by TurnsOutImAScientist in 50 GB of Unreleased Michael Jackson Content Stolen in Brussels by Guybrush_Tripwood
a few albums of unreleased tracks by one of the most famous (and some would say greatest) pop artists is a pretty big deal though.
even if it was just 50gb of MJ doodling in his notebook that would be a big deal for fans I presume. (I like MJ but I'd stop short of fanaticism)

The random shapes apart from stop and forward/backward drive me nuts.

I want honeydew to expand down here, their breakfast sandwiches and bagels are 8/10
I don't know much about coffee though, honeydew seems about as good as any other chain serving over roasted coffee here.

Yeah I have no idea how I feel about that comment, it's needlessly antagonistic, but the first two films were aimed at kids a bit (just like the books were meant to grow with the kids reading them) but they are genuinely enjoyable films for all ages. (Whatever the writer who shall not be named is up to the books and films still are what they are and pretty good)
Twilight was purpose built for that tween/teen reader/viewer and I don't think there's anything wrong with that teens think different and want to put themselves in these stories and explore the world that way.

Reply to comment by peaceahki in ‘Violent Night’ uses CT setting to characterize greed and wealth by boujeeFett
I love that there's a bakery down there I drive my semi into the looks I get sometimes squeezing through that neighborhood are priceless. (Though most people are just reasonable and know why I'm there I'm sure)
I heard an ad for it, didn't mention leguizamo but now that I know that I'm in. Even if the film isn't good leguizamo always is.

Reply to Anyone here have Frontier Fiber? If so, how is it? by mikemikemikeandike
No complaints, had an issue with the install a few weeks in and they sent a guy out next day to fix it, both the techs I worked with were super professional. Pretty understandable and I was pleased with how they handled it.
Haven't had any other issues. Definitely more reliable than Cox ever was.
YMMV I get Gigabit for $70/mo
and finally no stupid data caps, so I can actually download games without paying $200 a month total to Cox.
