I used to pull a random Encyclopedia off the shelf and find something interesting to read about.

The man who recently was revealed in a New York courtroom as having paid for fake news to be fabricated and distributed is accusing others of fake news yet again.

100% - it’s not bad that he switched, he should be embraced.

If he fixed it, he’s never going to see this post again. :)

Wow, in Doctor Who back in the 70s he runs in a classmate from Galifrey who calls him ( an equation) abbreviated as “Theet Sigma”.

I like the idea that there was something about the doctor that they didn’t understand about themselves and had to do the math. Not sure if that would make the equation part of the question or answer but it’s interesting.

Thank you, hope you’re on a lovely path.

“Watson come here, I need you.”

Trump would have drawn lines on the map.

It also seemed to reset my “played” time :)

I’m glad your door is safe.

There’s a series on Prime via The Great Courses Collection about the origins of language. (Almost?) all languages derive their names like this, but that’s like, a throw away line in a much deeper series.

We used to get a live one with the root ball intact and then planted it in the yard after. So now my dad has a row of pine trees that represent the Christmases we had as kids.

That’s where decomposing bodies in barrels are releasing gas bubbles as the corpse decomposes. Both because the bubbles are warmer from decomposition and because they disturb the surface of the water, ice formation is disrupted in “warmer below freezing” temperatures.

You’re talking about the way some signs ARE words, but that’s much more like “I ❤️NY!” Than “the crocodile symbol means evil, and the fire symbol is the hell… They’re warning us about an evil from hell!”

Lol, that’s like saying “It’s ABCs not letters”. We’re using different terms that mean the same thing :)

Amazon has a fantastic course on languages that I’ve almost completed and it blew my mind. Just seeing it laid out, how languages evolved over time.

Chief chivalry chameleon

All borrowed ( swiped? ) from French, as French changed. So we snagged the terms in mid-evolution :)

Did you know Hyrogliphs are sounds, to be read aloud just like the Roman Alphabet?!

I don’t know but he’s making it a more valuable resource. He is letting the spammers charge more for his number when they resell it since it’s verified.

How did they leave out the bit where he argued that you should be able to f*** whales? Like he was arguing it had to be consentual because of their size and shit.

Most people are forced in by family and don’t want to admit they have a problem but will go through the motions to please the family.

The provider will try to keep you in the maximum level of care they can justify ( initial detox is very expensive, your last days in the facility are rather cheap by comparison).

It’s shitty, hard, and was for me, completely necessary.
