I think it’s just the most simplified you can get talking about cellular biology, specifically when teaching organelles. So most primary science textbooks use that terminology and it’s more memorable than all the other organelles so it just stuck and it got repeated and reviewed every year and it sorta became a pre Internet meme and part of a shared consciousness if you were schooled in the US.

That’s a bit hyperbolic. You can complete a task, a project, a goal. Maybe your task is to do this weeks laundry. Maybe your goal is to build a habit around finishing your laundry. Or your project is to assess your wardrobe and donate your old clothes.
All completable things that should give your brain dopamine and make you feel good about yourself, it’s natural and okay to find joy from those things!

- Comment on Day 169 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 3 months ago:
One of my all time favorites. There’s something special about the N64, these games were magical as a kid and a lot of them still hold up today.
I used to play through Ocarina almost every year but it’s been about a decade and I started a playthrough last week. People have made some incredible progress on updating textures and such to make the game look more modern 👌

I used to work next to a huge arena. Every time there was a sold-out show, the cell service would be rough the whole time from people sending videos and such. When the shows let out it would be a complete meltdown while people tried to get Ubers.

It was directed at the reply above you, not you. Vibing and watching movies is fine but if you don’t enjoy that just gotta switch it up a bit.
- Comment on My Plan for 2025 3 months ago:
Take a break, or try different activities when you get down with the ganja. If your norm is to get blasted and watch YouTube or play video games, try some light exercise like an outdoor walk or visiting downtown ships if you have them. Try a new restaurant or go to the cinema. If it’s nice out rent a bike or explore a city park or nature trail.
When I’m stuck in a rut sometimes it helps to just try something new. It’s hard to get myself out of the house but I always enjoy myself when I do. Sometimes I wake up before my fiance on the weekends and walk the dog to downtown or there’s a coffee shop + dispensary wla shirt walk away.

It was a social commentary on the Patriot act, BatMan turned the whole population’s cell phones into surveillance devices to map out Gotham and find {villain} I can’t remember which at this point.
Alfred was like “this is wrong” and I think he peaces out and said “batman ur a dick” and Batman did it anyway. It’s been a while since I saw this movie but I think that sums it up nicely.

Easiest to manufacture tho (probably, I’m not an expert. But if you were to make a fastener with rudimentary tools, Phillips seems like it would likely be the easiest.)

- Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you? 5 months ago:
So I just watched it for the first time earlier this year and honestly it wasn’t bad. It’s cheesy (and by most measures not a great film), but it was genuinely fun to watch.

Ya, family holidays are stressful. If you smoke weed and know a relative smokes weed, it’s tradition to “go for a walk” or have a “safety meeting” or “take out the trash” to break away from the main group and get some fresh air.
In my family it’s my brother and his wife. Usually right after dinner.

If I were applying I might do a cover letter for like my top 2-3 picks just to try and tip the scales.
I do the hiring for my department and most cover letters are AI/template garbage but sometimes I’ll get a short and sweet one that seems genuine and it gives a legitimate edge.

That’s sad to hear. It’s been a long time since I’ve played any sports games and I had a hankering recently but everything has shit reviews and I keep coming across stories like yours.
Remember a game would come out with everything you need to enjoy the game? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Think of this as you inch forward until the green light with a motorcycle behind you. Just stop. Riding at 2 mph is misery.

Nah I’ll get like a 6" combo (drink and chips) for like… $12.
Footlongs are probably about the same. They’re not even great sandwiches, idk how they exist when there’s jimmy johns and jersey mikes. Way better for about the same price.

My elderly dad fell for something similar trying to call HP support, he googled the number and the top result was some bullshit. They had him set up remote access and compromised all his data. Old man had to reset everything.
He called me saying what happened, I had him shut down and unplug. I recovered what I could but he lost a lot of data.
This shit should be illegal. Like, I’m sure it is technically but there shouldnt be unofficial sponsored results above legitimate sources.
