IT, like say, Maintenance, doesn’t bring in any money, but they sure save a LOT of it.

It’s an awesome book! I LOVE the angle the writer takes on alien life

It’s not even really uncertain, after a tennisball to the face, they’ll definitely move

Well not all of them at the same time. Also, don’t be silly, a telescope can’t focus that close

Fun fact: all ants can be seen under a microscope!

I saw a survey of small town watertowers in the US. There were a terrifying amount of dead birds in there, and living birds shitting.

Most cannonballs were quite small, the really big ones, the 32 pounders, have a 16cm diameter.

It’s an adaptation from “the road not taken”, by Robert Frost, which does the same

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

but wouldn’t that imply an interchangeability that doesn’t quite reflect skill, and even moreso institutional such?

Sort of, yes. There’s definitely a difference between how an experienced hotel cleaner makes beds and how I make beds, but I can start cleaning hotelrooms tomorrow, without needing other qualifications. And you could also start tomorrow. And so could basically every other able-bodied adult, and we’d all do roughly the same job (though not as well as the person who’s done it for 10 years).

But neither of us can start tomorrow as a plumber, because it requires pre-existing training. That’s not an unskilled job.

I’m a woman in my mid-30’s. I’ve visited Egypt once, for two weeks.

I’m pretty sure half the gropings of my entire life were during those two weeks.

We got married for legal reasons. It’s much easier to get married than to get power of attorney, wills, and all that legal stuff done separately, so one day while sitting on the sofa looking at that stuff, I just said “hmm, you know, getting married is much easier”. And that was our proposal.

We got married with just our close relatives there, because my mom would kill me if I didn’t invite her, and his grandma would help out.

We DID have a big 10 year anniversary, because we wanted an excuse for a party, but it wasn’t wedding-like at all.

It lets you pay for the oncoming lawsuit

Per frame.

You thought the UK was less friendly than the Netherlands??? Did you only visit London?

Nah, it can also do a ton of anything denser than water, or anything that can be compressed to be denser than water.

I’m on the “make stupid hurt” train.

Measles is something like 4 to 5 times more infectious than covid. So yeah, there really isn’t much more to do

I just realized there was never an evil twin episode in Buffy.

That’s not a prediction, it’s happening as we speak

Covid called
