While reading the wiki page because I never heard of it as I am not from the US, TIL about Nancy Grace. Holy shit…

Can confirm as fellow Dutch. Nintendo cartridges were very expensive.

Chicory salad with tomato, egg and home made mayo. Apart from salt and pepper those are the only ingredients.

Bullet train to the brain

Tarmac can be really really hot.

Wuch…I hear you….the “slammed, blasted, murdered, nuked, destroyed” in the headlines when some person has a civilized worded counter opinion to whatever somebody else said for instance.

We need outrage, every night and day, every minute and second we need to be engaged. It is war people…

…on our mental health really.

Yes and they are always broken. I can never contact anyone.

Heh, a worldwide known fact. I am Dutch but when I read ‘shit + pants’ the answer always be that crusty pants mf.

Wag it, dog.

Max Schreck was a creepy mf in Nosferatu (1922)…childhood boogyman. They did the other Nosferatu with Klaus Kinski here in the Netherlands in Delft.

You should ask Ted Nugent, he is an expert

I put in 1300 hrs into fo4 just for the settlement building. With mods though.

Even without sugar a lot of cereals are high in carbs from refined flower.

Yeah, they needed a shitload of money to pay Bobby Kotick apparently.

It’s just depressingly vulgar.

Sperm whales rattle off pulses of clicks while swimming together, raising the possibility that they’re communicating in a complex language.

Ever since the discovery of whale songs almost 60 years ago, scientists have been trying to decipher their lyrics. Are the animals producing complex messages akin to human language? Or sharing simpler pieces of information, like dancing bees do? Or are they communicating something else we don’t yet understand?

In 2020, a team of marine biologists and computer scientists joined forces to analyze the click-clacking songs of sperm whales, the gray, block-shaped leviathans that swim in most of the world’s oceans. On Tuesday, the scientists reported that the whales use a much richer set of sounds than previously known, which they called a “sperm whale phonetic alphabet.”

People have a pho-ne-tic alphabet too, which we use to produce a practically infinite supply of words. But Shane Gero, a marine biologist at Carleton University in Ottawa and an author of the study, said it’s unclear whether sperm whales similarly turn their phonetic sounds into a language.

“The fundamental similarities that we do find are really fascinating,” Dr. Gero said. “It’s totally changed the way we have to do work going forward.”

Since 2005, Dr. Gero and his colleagues have followed a clan of 400 sperm whales around Dominica, an island nation in the eastern Caribbean, eavesdropping on the whales with u

“sleeping”…they need rehab

I miss the Amiga 500 in that list. ;)
