I agree. Especially because Ornithogalum is definitely not an Asparagus kind of plant. If maybe Ornithogalum had been in the Asparagus genus before but got split, well OK. But calling any plant in this pretty diverse family "asparagus", is wild.

The APG II system of 2003 allowed two options as to the circumscription of the family: either Asparagaceae sensu lato ("in the wider sense") combining seven previously recognized families, or Asparagaceae sensu stricto ("in the strict sense") consisting of very few genera (notably Asparagus, also Hemiphylacus), but nevertheless totalling a few hundred species. The revised APG III system of 2009 allows only the broader sense.

Asparagaceae includes 114 genera with a total of approximately 2,900 known species.

I guess in some parts of the world it already is wednesday, isn't it?

The non-historicity of Jesus has never had traction in scholarship. Mythicism is rejected by virtually all mainstream scholars of antiquity, and has been considered a fringe theory for more than two centuries. Mythicism is criticized on numerous grounds such as for commonly being advocated by non-experts or poor scholarship, being ideologically driven, its reliance on arguments from silence, lacking positive evidence, the dismissal or distortion of sources, questionable or outdated methodologies, either no explanation or wild explanations of origins of Christian belief and early churches, and outdated comparisons with mythology. While rejected by mainstream scholarship, with the rise of the Internet the Christ myth theory has attracted more attention in popular culture, and some of its proponents are associated with atheist activism.

Anarchism is leftism, where is the contradiction? And I hope that most people in this community believe that nation states and their governments are not efficient to make the world a better place and on the contrary are one of the reasons billions of people suffer and die.

Yeah, I think both can be true for one person. It very much depends on the context if I'll feel great or if I suffer during times of stress. Working in a café with many different orders to fulfill and things to do: nice!! Finishing assignments for university last minute and not doing a good job because you started much too late: feeling like a failure.

I've never been into torrenting stuff but usually just do streaming via the usual sites (I usually use any site that fmhy recommends). However, I've noticed that most pirate streaming sites have much slower load rates and need a long time to buffer than commercial streaming sites. This often means that I cannot watch an episode in full but have to pause to buffer... As you can tell, I'm a total noob. What can I do to have a nicer experience streaming pirated content?

(And sure, that's probably why people get into torrenting. I already got a raspberry pi that I intent to use for this, but I couldn't find the energy to set it all up yet.)

Not only the first paper but it apparently was published in nature:

Why not convince people to use Signal as well? Even my family has a group chat on Signal. Of course, it's a slow move with most people sticking to non-open chats. But it's worth the effort I would say.

Uff, besonders schlimm, wenn die Person sogar vor dem eigenen Zuhause verprügelt wurde. Das nimmt ja dann total das eigene Sicherheitsgefühl :(

Und mal wieder muss die Polizei ganz genau ermitteln ob ganz eventuell ein politischer Hintergrund zur Tat führte. Wenn Linke Wahlplakate abreißen oder Autos anzünden, ist das für die immer glasklar. Aber Nazis, die faschistische Parolen schreiend jemandem verprügeln oder eine Geflüchtetenunterkunft anzünden, könnten ja auch bedauerliche Einzelfälle ohne jeglichen politischen Hintergrund sein...

Haven't watched on fmovies before, thanks for the suggestion I guess :)

I really liked the Some More News episode on this! It explains pretty well how regardless of a rich person's intelligence they probably get corrupted by mental distortions due to being rich. That is, Elon haa probably been powertripping for too long and lost all basis on how to take good decisions because he lives in his own rich fantasy world thinking he accomplished everything because of his own superior genius...
