The two common Pokemon evolution chains are:
- Ev 1 –25 candy–> Ev 2 –100 candy–> Ev 3
- Ev 1 –50 candy–> Ev 2 (no Ev 3)

And then there are some uncommon ones like 200 or 400 candy from Ev 1 to Ev 2.

Are there any that take 50 candy or more from Ev 1 to Ev 2, but still have an Ev 3?

We watched "Beetlejuice" at home and then "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" in the cinema.

The old one is a cult classic, and I Iike the story line and characters, the pacing is great, it can surprise you multiple times if you hadn't already watched it dozens of times, but the humor is light-chuckle level and often unintentionally cringeworthy. It's the best and the worst of the 80s.

The new one is fun, action-filled, full of love for the original, I love that they retained so many of the original cast and that it makes sense, we laughed and oohed and awwed and cringed at intentionally cringe-worthy moments.

I'm not even talking about technology, Hollywood has learned so much about writing and directing in the last 36 years. The effects are obviously better, that goes without saying.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sapiens:…

"Harari's main argument is that Sapiens came to dominate the world because they are the only animal that can cooperate flexibly in large numbers. [ . . . ] He further argues that the ability of Sapiens to cooperate in large numbers arises from its unique capacity to believe in things existing purely in the imagination, such as gods, nations, money and human rights."

... as also observed by e.g. Terry Pratchett.

"Harari claims that all large-scale human cooperation systems – including religions, political structures, trade networks and legal institutions – owe their emergence to Sapiens' distinctive cognitive capacity for fiction. Accordingly, Harari describes money as a system of mutual trust and political and economic systems as similar to religions."

Mit 522.000 Gästeübernachtungen im Sommerhalbjahr 1938 war Ahlbeck das – nach Kolberg – zweitmeistbesuchte der pommerschen Seebäder im letzten Jahr vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg.

Seit 1990

Nach der politischen Wende wurde ab 1991 der Ortskern im Rahmen der Städtebauförderung gründlich saniert.

Wait a minute, what happened between 1938 and 1990? Did the SS take over the village, and then the Stasi? Why is there a silent gap?

A friend showed me a picture from one of the hotels. They have a wall with memorial plaques: In 1937 this famous person visited, in 1938 that famous person visited ... umm, in 2006 the Swedish Queen visited, and then in 2007 this other person ...

Was the hotel renovated from top secret site back to tourist hotel between 1990 and 2006? Had it fallen into disrepair from lack of tourism during the DDR?

Does anyone here from Vorpommern know something?

@Alessio Maffeis There is a least one youtuber in the US who drinks them and says they're probably not good for his health but they help him keep his videos on schedule.

I wonder if they're even legal in Hong Kong. I certainly haven't seen them here. Or maybe I have and just wasn't aware.

Historia Civilis: "The Trial of Charles I (1649)"

An abridged reenactment with simple geometric representations of the rooms and parties, really interesting and in parts pretty funny. I learned a lot about this pivotal moment in British history.

Some really bizarre people in the comments, which is interesting in its own way.

@Mans R But people incorrectly correcting people, and other people correctly or incorrectly correcting those people is super educational!

If you asked me a week ago how table salt is iodized, I would have guessed you probably add sodium iodide, but it turns out various manufacturers of table salt add either or several of sodium iodide, potassium iodide, sodium iodate or potassium iodate!

@Mans R Oh there's pedantry about everything, are you kidding? 🤣

This time it was someone on one social network seeing "Salt Lite" with 50% less sodium and being sarcastic about "pure sodium" having less sodium, someone on the other social network was sarcastic about that person thinking table salt is pure sodium, and then a whole comment thread of people getting hung up on details of how the two posters said it, weird misconceptions of how sodium chloride works, of how table salt works, ...

The full "Be Water" quite by Bruce Lee.

Kind of surprised I haven't seen that on a T-shirt until today, after an effective 11 years of living in Hong Kong.

The equinox is almost upon us, the outdoor temperature is slowly falling from unbearable to somewhat reasonable, and for me that means two weeks of some very particular balance of humidity that causes my eyes to go into self-assault. The same thing happens for two weeks in April, a bit after the other equinox.

I get a lot of eye gravel, my eyes treat that as foreign objects and make gunk to defend itself, then treat the gunk as foreign objects in an evil feedback loop.

Ironically enough, inserting actual foreign objects, contact lenses, protects the eye against itself and breaks the cycle.

@~~~~~~ No worries, just thought you'd like to know in case it's not intentional.

My quick guess without knowing anything about your setup is that somehow two instances of the bot might be running? And the slight differences might just be the OCR not being deterministic.
