Always loved this one. Watterston did an amazing job making the faces and postures so incredibly expressive. Likely a good study for other aspiring artists.

There’s no such thing as rewatching Black Books too many times.

Yeah, that’s exactly what we should be concerned about. These problems aren’t going to get better by killing people.

The mother of a gradeschool friend was at Kent State in May 1970 when the national guard shot and killed 4 students and wounded 9 others. She said it was appalling and horrifying.

Are we really going back to this shit? I guess this country learned nothing.

I’ll call them whatever you want – Kekse, galletas, piškotki – if you help us get rid of the fascists.

But personally I’ll always associate the word ‘biscuit’ with this.

+1, I’ll make cookies.

Oh cool. So is the banana added before cooking or after? Is image it could get rather mushy if cooked.

That sounds very interesting!. Do you mean curry leaves, or a particular curry sauce? I know e.g. masaman often includes peanuts.

Ew, I’ve given olives an honest shot but I just can’t even. Feta is great for a salty pairing with pineapple though!

Discordian!

More serious answer: I never had one to begin with. Why start now? All it seems to do is sow division.

Also, some words

If you live somewhere with mosquitos, you can’t win.

Dark colors: better for stains, worse for avoiding mosquitos

Light colors: worse for stains, better for avoiding mosquitos

I built the Apollo Lunar Lander not long ago. I enjoy the experience of putting together Lego kits so sure, I’d do that again. Or even a bigger one like the Saturn V.

The problem is what to do with these after I finish assembling them. Nicer kits have a good number of specialized parts so I don’t want to take them apart. So they just sit on a shelf and collect dust.

No, the helicopter was, read the headline again

Probably Grontar: The Frutang, circa 2003.

Wood Science must be a rather strange field.

1 mL of pure water weighs exactly 1 g at 20 °C and 1 atm pressure :) It’s a defined standard, useful for calibrating other things.

1 mL. Studying chemistry has made that extremely useful and now other units seem ridiculous.

If we’re talking about geology or oceanography though, cubic meters are fine.

When we’re talking about molecules, millions is usually an extreme understatement. PPB (parts per billion) is a common measure for contaminants.

But PPB is still an enormous quantity. Remember Avogadro’s number (used to relate count to grams) is on the 10^23 scale (aka thousands of billions of trillions). Even 999 million is a drop in the ocean there.

EDIT: The journal abstract lists the leached nanoparticles as 10^9 (billions) per mL, and the uptake by human-derived intestine cells as 100 micrograms/mL. So yeah this is coverage by a journalist who can’t math.

Haha asking the real questions right here
