It’s like tossing a grenade into a room and walking away.

I read this and started writing an actual reply. I am not a smart man.

Lego vs Legos appears to be another North America vs The rest of the English speaking world thing. A collective noun feels weird to my American ears since they are individual pieces that are countable. It’s not a big deal though. I enjoy having different ways of talking.

There’s no way this guy could afford that many high quality dildos

How shibboleth came to mean password or dog whistle instead of an ear of wheat is from a pretty dark bible story:

And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay; Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.

Wheel no good on rough ground. Wheel need road network and specialized labor. Befriend animal. He carry.

I love this

Motherfuck you!

Sometimes I lose my shit when one of the many Stack Exchanges yet again asks me to log in with google and accept cookies while blocking half the screen.

Also Omar Fateh for mayor of Minneapolis, Abdul El-Sayed for senator of Michigan, Kat Abughazaleh for Illinois representative, and probably more I’m not aware of. It’s encouraging to see candidates like these get traction.

This seems like the natural way to do it. Before agriculture our meals weren’t guaranteed and we had fewer options for preservation so you might as well eat it all when you got the chance.

The name Arthur probably comes from that lost word

Maybe his last name is Park

I thought I ate the onion on this one

Kids being kids reminded me of Onfim, the boy from medieval Novgorod who drew himself slaying dragons instead of learning his letters

Other comments mentioned squats and deadlifts but the upper back is important too. Pullups and especially dead hangs are great for countering the effects of sitting at a desk.

Once you get your grip strength up you can hang and just let your spine decompress. It feels great. You can also do the opposite and keep your core engaged (AKA hollow hold) to build strength.

I played sports growing up but never had a strong core until I did this in my 30s. It was kind of shocking because I could suddenly do things like V ups with ease which used to make me shake uncontrollably.

It’d be more accurate to say they share the same origin. Swedish and English are both part of the Germanic language family.

I’m not sure what that context of this picture is but it’s a common sword guard position depicted in medieval fighting manuals

A peek inside the mind of Nick Mullen

If that’s the flur just imagine how high the cerling is
