Let me tell you something

Don’t be too hard on yourself

Well yeah it’s mandarin, but in the show Mandarin is pretty exclusively used for very creative swear phrases, such as “The explosive diarrhea of an elephant”. Things that might be fun to learn to say…

I haven’t seen Our Groceries listed yet. I don’t know Grocy so I don’t know how this one compares, bells-wise, but it’s pretty straightforward, you can share a list with any number of users, and manage/add/edit/remove lists and items via a web app or mobile app.

I’ve sent the devs more than one feature suggestion / bug report, and they were impressively responsive and forthcoming.

The pictured kings of turbine works very well with wind from any direction. I’d be more concerned about having low friction bearings so cost to sea water.

Zoe: swears in Chinese

FU, everyone knows that that’s a real language and probably a very juicy phrase that would be absolute golden to know for some other occasion!

^(PSA there exists a site with every phrase translated and explained)

And it’s working.

So many people believe that Covid was a way to scare us all indoors, so they could change batteries in all the birds.

That’s preposterous.

Birds use rechargeables, that’s why they’re always sitting on the power lines. Like, duh, wake up sheeple.

I once read a beautifully indisputable piece on how Jar Jar Binks is a highly skilled Sith Lord. It’s all a front!

It’s been abused for so many decades im sure you can reliably use either spelling and not be misunderstood.

It’s been a while since I saw good old 4281 referenced. 👍

As a recent divorcee: fuck this hurts.

What on earth does this mean? I’m not a world-class expert in mathology but I’ve never seen this kind of relative comparison before.

More comedic than dramatic, and more “highly unlikely” than “dumb luck”, but this one time I fell while skiing. It happens, I was a reckless kid as many are.

But this? This was on a flat, broad, almost level stretch connecting two pistes, and me and my dad were basically just cruising along. I don’t know what, but something happened and I face planted, stopping instantly.

One ski out to the side, the other… vertical? Stuck into the piste at a right angle, all the way from the tip to the binding… without becoming detached from my boot. The mechanism worked fine, mind you, it just hadn’t disengaged. There was no gash in the snow, no entry mark, just hard packed piste with half a ski sticking out of it like so much sword in a stone.

You seem knowledgeable in this matter, so let me ask you: is this harmful to humans? What is the harm of this watermelon virus?

Ohh, Rankine, thank you! I only remembered Rheamur - there you go. 😊

I understand what you say about needing to render every frame, but it’s possible to use a very slow frame rate for the gif (eg. 1 frame every 2s).

Are they evil attack squirrels of death? If so, one should be plenty.

The special hell.

Even if it is eventually exposed as a hoax - that is, not as old as claimed or from a different or untrustworthy source - that works make the book no less of an impressive accomplishment and global mind fuck! 🤯 Whatever it really is, it’s a win.
