Hw cn brnds sty cl? Nt by drpping vwls, one of Britain’s biggest investment firms concluded this week, when it announced it was adding back the “e’s” to its name four years after dropping them.

My radio news this morning said he was quite possibly far enough gone.

However, F. drudeana belongs to a lineage from the southern Caspian Sea region, with no known connection to Eastern Libya.

A criticism of this hypothesis centers on geographic ranges: silphium grew in North Africa while F. drudeana is native to Turkey. A 2018 study resolved F. drudeana as a narrowly endemic species restricted to a tiny range in Turkey’s Adana and Kayseri Provinces, descended from Central Asian Ferula, and having no connection to North Africa. All previously studied North African Ferula belong to a well-distinct and monophyletic group containing the widespread Ferula communis and its more localized relatives from the Western and Central Mediterranean; there is no indication that any other lineage of Ferula ever occurred west of the Aegean/Black Sea region. Miski’s 2021 paper does not address evidence for F. drudeana having originated in the southern Caspian Sea region.

Another criticism focuses on the 2021 paper’s methodology, which does not account for observations about Ferula which were published in 2008. Morphological studies could misleadingly suggest a relationship with silphium, as the external appearance of Ferula varies highly within clades: individuals within the Ferula genus often resemble unrelated species rather than closely related species. Similarly, evidence in the form of folk medicine uses is — at best — an equivocal indicator.

is it that bad

1. As said below, this was an instance ban, which Lemmy shows a bit weirdly.
2. Come on. It’s just a pronoun. All the arguments for respecting neopronouns apply here, and blahaj accepts and asks all to respect neopronouns.
3. Saying “I identify as <my own name>” is not anywhere close to the attack helicopter dogwhistle.
4. Say drag did identify as a dragon. Gender is a construct anyway. How is someone identifying as what they make of a gender any different from someone identifying as neutrois or andersatyr?
5. You died on this hill, and these are the instance rules.
6. I’m pretty sure there was a rule here saying “stop posting about dragonfucker”?

that would be least possible

According to the audiosex forums (wait wha-), you downloaded the official adware version. Download it from https://jdownloader.org/jdownloader2 or your distro to get the official ad-free version. Note the “2” at the end of the URL.

YEAH CANADAAAA

That would seem suspicious. I’m sure they have some way to pad out the size.

I use Arch btw
