    +1 for Sublime Merge, I use it every day and love it. Also seems to be one of the few git clients with Linux support, surprisingly.

    Sure it's click-bait, but people were actually taking livestock versions of Ivermectin, in paste form. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2021/08/23/covid-...

    IMHO the issue is that society tells couples that 1 is the ideal outcome, creating plenty of 2s who believe they will eventually become 1s if they just keep trying. Some of those c…
