20-odd years ago, I made rent many times ghostwriting homework and theses for rich kids.

Now, they run stuff.

That makes sense, yeah. The wrong invasive critter could spell doom

I don't know enough to argue, it just seems odd. There's a whole Wikipedia article about how popular gardening is there that mentions a rhythming hoax from 2020.

Been in marketing too long to think that's proof either way but it rings weird. Tight rules on invasives I'd get but a total ban... ?

Would anyone in Aotearoa mind planting a few carrots and seeing if anyone comes around mad about it, the internet wants to know

So far I'd say some of it's genre independent, even. The opening sections are damned useful breakdown of what makes for a compelling adventure.

So they would have had to collaborate on projects with a significant engineering or chemistry component, is what I'm hearing.

People are saying it. Lots of people.

There has never been an investigation into connections between Judge Oldham and the Unibomber.

Split the difference? I'll get disproportionately, unreasonably hyped but blame Netflix when it doesn't pan out.

Toast sandwiches, though. I adopted them immediately and other Americans have the funniest spectrum of reactions to seeing me make one

I think I've seen this movie...
