That was two different things, I was checking if there are any fun offers there and found this one. I wouldn't start my plumbing career in -40C

I guess poop needs to go somewhere, too

This, I remember that some 20 years ago when going to the Antarctica for a PhD seemed like a good idea, I found a job where they were looking for a plumber. The pay was insane at that time

I tried that as well, but for me it was like being 10 again: -you meet the bandits -I, the lvl1 player kill them all -OK -I just remembered my party had a necromancer, raise the corpses -sure thing -I march around with my undead army and murder everyone who is in my way -This game is about creativity and cooperation -Not today -OK

There was a related podcast recently somewhere, the idea was that evolutionary lungs come from guts, so maybe guts would still have some ability to absorb oxygen, which, turns out, they indeed do. This could have some practical uses e.g. in intensive care situations where the patient's lung is useless (extreme COVID), which could give a last resort breathing opportunity while the lungs heal to a usable condition. Furthermore it gives a shitton of opportunity for butt jokes

Or too much. Exactly my thought

I checked it, it's not :)

Lots of astronomical objects have names, but somehow it's asteroids and maybe craters that really got the naming hype, there are hundreds of them named after scientists, poets, the discoverer's teacher, you name it. It's a nice custom.

Disclaimer: I might be slightly biased, as I proposed my wife with naming one of them (asteroid, I mean).

Not if you already don't look at the keyboard while typing, plus you use multiple layouts

Nobody really expected global politics going down the drain as it does, either - just as South Park production stopped because there was no sense in parodizing reality when it's weirder than what they could come up with
