The mechanical divide between being PVE and PVP makes a big difference here.

My hypothetical worry lies with Utah, then. How do they work in what I'm calling the Craft Beer Union?

As someone who works with XML a lot, it's absolutely terrible. The sooner it's out of my life the better.

A shame this project is pretty well dead, but I really cannot blame the maintainer for moving on.

Well as long as we're saying the federal government has too much power, yes, it obviously does.

It's a pretty good snack or small breakfast, actually. Top it with some salt and pepper, it's quite nice. Assuming you like avocado, at least.

To me the bigger issue of the argument is that the boomers seem to think it's some extravagant luxury. I can get a good avocado for like a $1.50 - breakfast avocado toast ends up being maybe $2.

Yeah, this is the distinction I'm trying to draw between "common" and "scientific" terminology. Scientific taxonomy is based on evolutionary history, rather than just superficial traits like "has gills, fins, and lives mostly in water."

Yeah, I'm not really arguing for or against the word fish technically fitting all land animals. I think that using it that way showcases the problem of trying to fit common terminology like "fish" into the scientific taxonomic system. The definition of fish has no use in that context.

Also, there are fish which are also arguably tetrapods https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcopterygii

With babies you should instead use chopsticks. Careful not to grip your Oreo too hard as they soften.

Hank Green went off about this recently. "Fish" just has no scientific meaning, and there are fish tetrapods.

I don't necessarily disagree, but ultimately there is a problem in classifying "fish" in the modern scientific taxonomy system - it has no good phylum to fit in as its a term that's a bit more broad than that, but not broad enough to make for a kingdom.

Birds are reptiles. Commonly, we wouldn't say so, but they're in the same clade. The avians are closer related to the crocadilians than the crocs are to other reptiles like the squamates - lizards and snakes.

He's 70, most likely way out for him is a casket.
