I was going to point out that Fox owns 73% of National Geographic. Turns out thar Disney bought that 73% stake several years ago.

I have noticed that the “Oxford English” word definitions are incomplete enough to be misleading.

48-ish hours in (?) I’m genuinely shocked this is the only response that’s come out. They must have microdick handcuffed in Air Force One.

I suspect a chunk of next Week’s South Park will be set in Scotland. I’m looking forward to it.

On one hand, this is pretty ‘leopards ate my face.’ On the other hand, I fully expect them to get their pound of flesh, and then some on this issue.

Update: 9 minutes into this episode. Yup. I approve.

… … “The shit?” “Ohhh.”

I think the bad grammar in the scripts and the botched heteronyms (words spelled the same but pronounced differently, i.e. lead and lead) bug me the most. Tbf, the latter is the fault of the TTS.

MFW established facts conflict with my deeply held opinions.

I’m glad. I’ve seen it a few times and that wasn’t my first guess.

Well, at least 2 that I can think of…

Before things like meth and Trump, Gulf Shores was pretty cool. But I can’t imagine it’s kept up. I have visited southern Louisiana in the meantime, and it’s gone to hell in a handbasket.

If Covid didn’t smarten them up, I doubt the beetuspocalypse will either.

Literally the artificial gravity on surface ships. Sometimes, if you time it just right, you can float up 7 stairs or completely miss your bunk.

Use 2 E192 in parallel: a 6.19Ω resistor with a 4500Ω resistor. This gives 6.1846Ω which is close enough for rock and roll.

AFAICT, the outcome of the game has nothing to do with the athletes. It’s based on how hard the fans hoped and prayed for their selected team to prevail. Other than that, it comes down to corruption and incompetence among the officials.

Awesome strategy, though. First, piss off the sane people, then piss off the crazy people.

Did you know that in some cultures, mothers will eat their own polenta?

That’s around the same latitude as Kiel in Northern Germany. Go up to Stockholm and it sets around 2:45 pm at the earliest.

“Hm. Why do you say that?” “Interesting. Can you explain that to me?”

When mom cooked breakfast, she’d collect bacon grease (as, like, supplemental butter) and add that to subsequent meals. AFAIK, it still happens, but is probably less common.
