He's human? I thought he was the primordial ancestor for all extant species of turtle.

There is a recessive gene in some Central and North Asian groups that produces red hair more commonly. You'll see it occasionally in Mongolia, Kazakhstan and some of the other northern Stan countries, as well as Xinjiang. Especially small villages or nomadic populations where the gene pool is smaller. There's been some speculation that Genghis Khan and some of his children may have had red or auburn hair.

The UK were effectively forced to exempt US-based social media from their own censorship laws in exchange for the trade deal they signed with Trump. Here's hoping he does the same thing for us.

BioWare died the day EA bought it. This current iteration has only now finally finished robbing its grave.

cannot differentiate between literal and figurative speech.

This is the real kicker for me. The link between spoken language and thought is fundamental, not just to communication, but to cognition as a whole. If you can't understand nonliteral language, then you can't think figuratively either. They can't imagine, they can't hypothesize, they can't even really contemplate the potential consequences of their own actions.

He's programmed to listen through your PC's built-in mic. If he doesn't hear chirping, he's gonna know you're lying.

Sounds about right for renewables. Twice as expensive as an actually useful appliance, plus extra for totally-legitimate consultancies.

This is a show set in a starving, zombie-infested post-apocalyptic wasteland where the female characters all go around looking like they spend an hour in front of a mirror with a fully-stocked makeup kit every morning, but we're going to talk about why the blue jeans totally make sense as if the producers are actually paying attention to that shit.

I have no patience for the "greedy corporations" angle with inflation. Inflation is caused almost entirely by government. In part it's a knock-on effect from the increase in money supply, but also results from overregulation. Here in Canada, we have our government blaming Trump's tariffs for prices that have been skyrocketing since years before Trump took office, all to deflect from the hideous irresponsibility of their own carbon tax, which adds an artificial cost onto every stage of our supply chain, and then mandating that the same service industry which has had to increase all of its prices as a result then increase the wage they pay all of their workers to compensate. As if that increase won't be immediately canceled out by minimum wage workers' employers having to raise prices again to compensate for it.
