Had a project due date through which I procrastinated heavily

Pretty much all all-nighter I've pulled in my adult life have had this exact cause.

Romania too, but definitely better than a hamburger. It's more like a sausage.

a person, group, idea, or object that "for better or for worse... has done the most to influence the events of the year"

More likely poorly written in the original language, then passed through Google Translate or other automated translator.

And also the conflating of eugenics and fixing birth defects is completely off base

It's not off base and what you're describing is called liberal eugenics, or new eugenics.

[...] some critics, such as UC Berkeley sociologist Troy Duster, have argued that modern genetics is a "back door to eugenics".

I'm sure the laws set in place after the eugenics wars would be strict enough to not leave such wiggle room.

Ah, I was thinking of Bulgarian and wondering how it could fit in this graph.

Where do you see Bulgaria in the circle?

incredibly... useless.. compared to sperm generated in space

That's what I don't get. Transporting fresh sperm is not an issue that anyone cares about in space colonization. Sperm will get there in two ways: frozen or made on the spot.

One guy's defense was "I thought she was dead".

Do cops just routinely grab victim's phones at traffic stops and demand they be unlocked so they can sit in their car and scroll through the photos? How the hell is this legal? Why ?

No, that's not normal or legal. Which is why these guys are getting charged with deprivation of rights.

How are these usually attached to the wall? Can I just pry them off or would that damage the drywall?

And follow up questions: how can I reproduce that texture when painting the newly exposed areas of the wall?

I don't know much about Pokémon cards, but I know this is a rare holo. Is it worth much?

Backstory: my son (6yo) kept talking lately about a Mewtwo he got at a birthday party and how he's going to trade it with his classmate for a Darkrai, but he lost his Mewtwo somewhere in the car. So yesterday I finally get around to searching below the car seat to find this. A holo Mewtwo Vstar, in a protective sleeve too. I asked him repeatedly if it was really in the goodie bag (making sure the b-day kid didn't just give it away on their own without parents knowing), but yeah, everyone got cards in their bags (but doesn't sound like anyone got something like this one). For now I told him to just keep it safe and not use it to play with and definitely don't trade it away.
