I have decided to join Oncpapa in the (early) spookiness, and change my PFP!

Still has the scout hat, though.

Shouldn’t there also be a bone clippy in there?

Unfortunately clippy is an invertebrate and so lacks a solid endoskeleton

Isn’t Clippy a paperclip made of metal? So you could say Clip is more or less just a flexible metal skeleton.

Why do you assume he is really a paper clip?

If not, what is he then? Just a virtual asistant?

Weren’t there similar things found in Sahara?

Yes. Scientists can now get a similar glimpse of how humans adapted to similar changes of climate after the last Glacial Maximum (~19,000 years ago) in the Arabian Desert.

Perhaps the greenery will return there in some time…

I wonder if similar climate change patterns occurred on all sandy deserts around the world when the last Glacial Maximum ended?

Probably not all, as some would’ve been created by effects less affected by the changes…

Isn’t it theorized that the next Glacial Period will cause drying out of the Great Plains of North America? Or is that conjecture seen in The Future is Wild no longer valid?

I am not sure humans will allow the natural cycles to take over once more even after (if) we fix our environmental mistakes…

COPE! COPIUM ENGAGED!

The Steam Frame (Deckard) will either be announced in November 2025 or in March/April 2026. Hopefully, it is in November. AH! What if it was announced on my birthday? After all, the first Counter-Strike game was released on my birthday. PLEEEEEEEASE!!!

The cost of the headset is allegedly 1200$USD. That means ~1900$CDN including taxes. How will I pay for that? I KNOW! I’ll just sell all my unnecessary computer stuff and that will give me enough money to buy the Deckard! I WILL BE UNSTOPPABLE!!!

Temperatures are steadily rising. The Ice Caps are melting. We should less worried about the next Ice Age and more worried about the worsening Interglacial Period.

i mean if we worry a lot about fixing climate change and such we’ll get the toolkit we may need if/when the climate swings the other way

By the way did you make that dog skeleton model yourself?

No, I used Photoshop to edit a photograph of a toy. Then I used Illustrator to add a purple circle behind it and put a P in it’s mouth. I have the whole Adobe CS4 set, though I am not very skilled with them.
