A “silky mom” is one whose kids have all the sleek, modern gadgets, fancy clothes, etc. They hate dirt, and just want to watch their screens. They eat nothing but processed foods. They use fabric softener and dryer sheets. They are primarily concerned with keeping up appearances.

A “crunchy mom” is one whose kids have mostly wooden toys, hand-me-down clothes. You’ll find them jumping in mud puddles and eating wild raspberries. They line-dry their clothes. They are primarily concerned with the happiness of everyone around them.

“Crunchy” is (usually) not a pejorative, and even if it were, a “crunchy mom” wouldn’t concern themselves with such meaningless criticism.

They blew up a Starlink satellite a couple days ago; the debris will be reentering the atmosphere over the next couple days.

The term “locust” refers to “insect plagues” in general rather than mutated grasshoppers in particular. There is a new, mutated COVID variant circulating in 25 states that was nicknamed “Cicada”.

Exactly.

Nuclear plants are probably the least efficient, because they required all that fusion energy inside earlier stars to build hydrogen into uranium, and we can only extract a tiny portion of that trapped fusion energy through fission.

That’s called a “Dyson sphere”.

They can help prevent chafing and blisters. They’re a good base layer under thermal underwear. They can keep some insects, leeches, and other parasites from biting.

US Soldiers in Iraq commonly requested family members send pantyhose in care packages.

Right, right… Now, about all that child rape…

Both. Sometimes a third.

The morning one is the long one, the central part of the 20-minute shit/shower/shave trifecta. Then there is the afternoon one, to rinse off the work-grime before starting the evening. If outdoor activities are on the evening itinerary, a third one: rinse off dust, sweat, urushiol oil (poison ivy), check for ticks, stretch sore muscles, etc.

But on the rare, lazy saturday? Fuck it.

Doesn’t seem particularly efficient to me… The sun burns hundreds of millions of tons of hydrogen every second. The amount of released energy we actually put to use is indistinguishable from zero, not 45%.

The fact that you can’t just throw stock pickup accessories on it is its biggest flaw. And that’s saying something, because it deliberately locks occupants inside when it catches fire.

(Caveat: IANAL)

The specific property, no, probably not.

However, a child is owed “support” from both parents, normally in the form of direct care. Where one parent is not providing direct care, they can be ordered to provide financial support to the parent who is providing direct care.

If Alex and Maya have come to an agreement where Alex will provide that mansion in lieu if direct support or financial support, Maya has a claim to the property. If Alex is subject to a support order that includes providing the mansion to Maya, Maya has a claim. Barring a scenario including the house as support, Alex will owe money to caregiver Maya (or Maya will owe money to caregiver Alex) but will not owe the house itself.
