I never heard of xenoparity before, this is fascinating.

Supposedly it only evolved about 5 million years ago, and some colonies still rely on external populations? Nature is constantly finding new ways to undermine our attempts to think we know how shit works.

I live next to a very popular MTB town. Everywhere I look it's adults going out on bike adventures. It's driving half the economy around here.

I was going to say Parabola, but you can get the same effect with DMT.

Is it always the same random point, or will I sometimes land in the bedroom of a confused and angry Albanian?

I recently saw a vid about these things. Another interesting thing they can do is voluntary decapitation. The head can survive and grow new organs, possibly because photosynthesis gives them the energy to keep going and growing.

I donated once, and the payment processor failed so it didn't even go through.

I still get the thankyou emails.

I'm such a phoney.

Having both options is ideal. I see eSIM as more disposable, such as when travelling.

The tank looks like what I wanted last time I bought a phone. Only seems to be missing eSIM, but that's not a deal breaker.

My therapist specialised in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, so we started out by trying to identifying things in my life that I was overreacting to. It turned out I was dealing with Real Shit, and remarkably chill under the circumstances. We had to abandon the CBT approach.

That was still helpful though. By asking the question, it validated my behaviour, so I didn't doubt myself as much going forward. It helped me make some big life changes.

Is it a nationalistic pride thing over there? Some German engineer needs to invent a superior bicycle so they can feel ownership or something.

Learning that quetzalcoatlus may have moved around like giraffes breaks my brain. They should not be so similar and yet so very different.
