I sometimes use the alphabet method. When a conversation gets stuck I think of words starting with a and form a question from that.

Example : angler fish, amazon, aeroplane

-> do you like travelling? What’s your dream destination? Do you like the deep sea/ocean/swimming?

Plus it explains like the reader is kinda dumb

Britain returning on legal grounds wasn’t on my bingo card xD

There was a short boom of all different kinds of Fassbrause here in Germany. Fassbrause is a carbonated drink, that gets its carbonation from brewing, is made of grain malt and fruits and non-alcoholic (literally barrel-fizz).

It was then followed by a short trend of every rapper and streamer making their own iced tea and now the trend still going on is energy drinks.

I miss the selection of Fassbrause. It was not to sweet, malty and fruity, just perfect. Now I have to look for what feels like the two last brands still producing.

Actually when I lived off grid for 80 years, we used 7 AAA batteries on a rotation and recharged them by rubbing them on our wool sweaters, so those guys are totally right.

The article clearly says that 8k people in a town of 30k took to the streets.

Atomic blonde in atomic blonde.

She’s “totally badass” without ever having a reason to do anything. No strong convictions or stakes, just action.

I really hoped the film would switch perspective midway and follow the Berlin dude. It would be special, having such an elaborate introduction and then forgetting the character atomic blonde completely, but it would have made a better film imo.

Recessive isn’t always bad. In fact, many (maybe all) genetic traits have a dominant and a recessive information.

For example peas. Let’s say there is a gene for colour. The dominant variation of the colour gene carries the information “green”. Let’s call this gene c for colour. Then there is a recessive variation with the information yellow.

We’ll write the dominant information as capital C and the recessive as lowercase c.

Now there is a pea with the genetic information CC (one from each parent). That’s a green pea.

Then there is one with Cc (father green, mother yellow). But you see the pea and it looks just like a green pea. Because the green gene C is dominant and the yellow c is recessive. You don’t know, that this is a mixed variety.

If two seemingly green peas pollinate each other, but under the hood, they are Cc, then they might produce a cc yellow pea.

For a lot of genetic information that’s not a problem, they are just different characteristics and not harmful.

But if you have B = your blood coagulates normally, and b = your blood doesn’t thicken, you just bleed out and die when you have a paper cut…

Then inheriting b from both of your parents is a terrible fate.

This happened in the House of Saxe-Cobourg and other nobility in the 19th century.

Edit: the last part is actually a bit more complicated, but the explanation of dominant and recessive still works.
