The study is a little old, but this is why Bedouins wear loose black clothing in the desert.

We’re not all Byrons either, apparently.

I’m not from the US, but creamer isn’t typically milk, right? It’s some kind of protein-heavy vegetable fat?

This is a nice anecdote, and it’s meaningful and valuable in its own right, but it’s not Vonnegut.

The source seems to be this 2020 Tumblr post, where the OP text is someone’s own anecdote following a Kurt Vonnegut extract. I guess someone’s read the post and got confused as to where his bit ends.

Honestly looks like it, since it’s not been inked! There’s someone who sneaks into the monastery at night and adds ducks to all their new manuscripts.

I kind of hope they make a Sims 5 that has limits on what female characters can aspire to, no LGBT+ relationships, etc, purely for the backlash that would ensue. It’s a big ecosystem that they could really screw up.

Fun coincidence in terms of “three assholes”: the phonic punctuation mark ஃ in Tamil, which looks very similar to an asterism ⁂, is used to represent a voiceless glottal fricative (like the /h/ in “ham”).

The two fun rectal-related bits:

• This type of character in Sanskrit phonology, a visarga, means “discharge”.
• Its cousin, representing a nasal /n/ sound, is called an anusvara.

~Disclaimer: I think this is all true, but I don’t really know what I’m talking about, I was just looking into the Unicode a little.~

xlookup rather than vlookup - we’re not living in the Ubaid period.

doesn’t work if you force desktop site on mobile from my teats

We’ll have to take your word on this.

Yup, but at the same time, although I don’t care to defend the upscaling, it does seem a slightly unfair frame to pick as being representative of the whole. It’s a super brief shot in an action moment where the characters look distinctly goofy and low-detailed in the original.

It’s about 41 seconds into the intro, hard to get a perfect freeze frame:

Every new dent is a testament to the amount of service my Klean Kanteen sees. I’ll be devastated if I ever lose it.

On the Dymaxion projection, that’s a hell of a weird duck.

The “metro station” looks a bit like someone lifted one platform of the Greenwich DLR station and dropped it on a car park.

I can’t find a US inflation calculator that goes back further than 1913, and Johnson died in 1893, but if she’d died 20 years later, it would have been the equivalent of $1.1m.

Oh, wow! I guess you’ve already checked if the pipe is obstructed?

I do the same. If it took 19 minutes from cold, I suspect this version will probably over-extract in any case, but starting with hot water will definitely help.

Sorry, you probably don’t care! I always figure if I’ve looked it up myself (out of curiosity) then I might as well share what I found.

Origin appears to be an 1880 mosaic by the Venice & Murano stained glass company in Venice, depicting the Last Supper. It’s a little over a meter across, and was bought by a Melbourne gallery in 1888.

Tidal pay artists more than most platforms, and over four times as much per stream as Spotify. That’s not to say it’s not still part of a broken system, but most other platforms are worse.
