Getting prion disease from crops?

I’ve anecdotally had a fine time using Apple Maps since I switched a few years ago. Just wanted to mention there is a setting to avoid tolls; Settings->Maps->Driving will bring up a toggle. It’ll still give you the option, but it won’t default if it’s the shortest route.

Yeah, I joke that California does have four seasons - they're just Summer, Wildfire, and Mudslide. Possible Earthquake to shake things up.

But to be fair, it is a long state. SoCal gets most of the attention, but NorCal gets some great seasons as you get closer to the PNW

You'd think, but it can be difficult to save up moving costs for a long distance haul + deposits + getting a new job lined up while living paycheck to paycheck.

Long time resident of California (SoCal in particular), can confirm haughtiness. I've grown increasingly prideful of my state for holding strong on specific human right issues.

You're also right about the increasing disparity though. It feels like stratification is getting stronger and stronger each year. The Beach Cities area in particular, from my experience, where they're building a bunch of (very expensive) flats. California has had a history of states shipping homeless/refugees to us and that doesn't help our increasing number of state-grown displacements.

My main issue is title formatting. I don't dislike the TIL bot, but I do dislike the long title being cut off in my app.

Since you mentioned BSG, I wanted to recommend Babylon 5. It’s got a cohesive story planned from the get go, and is as good as space opera gets IMHO. There are plenty of historical parallels to draw, my favorite being the Roman Republic inspired Centauri. (Commercial TV from the 90s, so nothing R rated here.)

More recent, and more historical, would be the German Netflix series Barbaren (Barbarians). It might be too roman history focused for your tastes, but it got a glowing review from my family abroad. (I do believe this has more gore and sexual content, I just don't remember to what extent.)

All I know is I'm a right proper Kent

I think you might be on to something with the parks idea. I know California has a Protection Act on the books that covers ours.

As someone who has to deal with small pockets these new flip phones have been interesting to me. I'm just worried about how long that screen will last.

I was big into New World when it first launched and started recognizing prime exp nodes for woodcutting (those multi trunk aspen looking things) in my community.

In response to the tile comment ‘apparently it’s a thing’. It is, and unfortunately has been. This is non consensual pornography and it’s awful.
