the wet bulb temperature¹ is just the temperature of a wet thermometer, and varies with humidity and temperature. Wet bulb temp is never higher than the dry bulb temp, so (entertainingly) you’re proposing that the meaning of 100° varies wildly and is always lower than the true temperature, effectively making the air temperature always ≥100°, and increases when the air is drier, like some sort of inverse relative humidity.

¹(I’m aware you probably didn’t mean wet bulb temperature here, but let’s have fun with the idea) :)

The Māori monarchy dates back to the 19th Century, when different Māori tribes decided to create a unifying figure similar to that of a European monarch in order to try to prevent the widespread loss of land to New Zealand’s British colonisers and to preserve Māori culture. The role is largely ceremonial.

I would genuinely buy a bra that needed charging if it did something useful (like phase cooling / some sort of refrigeration). Not from Temu though

AuDHD and completely caffeine free (and stimulant/meds/drugs free too). Caffeine definitely doesn’t work for me like it does for other people - makes me sleepy and headachey. I’d rather just work with what I’ve got, (noise cancelling headphones + being inflexible) even if it has limitations

I had to google this (because I’m not from the US) and I’d be super surprised if their tagline became “cooler than trousers but still covers your arse”

sorry, my mistake, I totally meant to say I value “community” not “communism” ;)

(also, I’m not North American!)

even if this is true, there are other, much cooler types of clothing than trousers that still cover your arse

when talking to my parents, if I say “community” instead of “communism,” or “nobody deserves to starve” instead of “free food”, and “help vulnerable people” instead of “benefits” and “everyone deserves to feel safe from harm” instead of XYZ - everyone wholeheartedly agrees!

But if I let them go off on a tangent without guiding them, then they’re “anti woke” even though they don’t know what woke means

it’s about a drug sniffer dog who bites off the balls of a mafia boss, runs away from witness protection, and gets adopted by a mailman.

It’s definitely a stupid antics movie: at one point, a woman gets farted on by a zebra whilst holding a lit match

that makes a lot of sense! I’m very grateful to be part of an academic community that seems to value open access, as well of part of a university that pays for access and submission to most of the journals I need to use

we had See Spot Run (23% on rotten tomatoes) but it got taped over by another movie “accidentally” when I was 7 and I haven’t seen it since…

having read the plot on Wikipedia, it features a lot more references to testicles than I remember

I’ve only ever published in open access journals (partially because I’ve only got 3 papers out, but also out of preference) is it just prestige that makes people go with pay-to-view journals? or are there other factors?

Nausicaa is my favourite film :)! the soundtrack is so bizarre in the best way

(the last film I watched was Kiki’s delivery service, also recommend that to everyone! it’s a lot more relaxing and kid-friendly than Nausicaa though)

Using “,” as ellipses here is a pretty interesting tone indication feature!

On Tumblr, “…” ended up having connotations of judgement or anger, so to avoid that, people evolved to use “,” as a softer version (often implying a more silly/amused tone) instead !

As a non-fiction lover, it’s not the length of the chapter that matters, it’s whether they have exercises for the reader, (e.g., puzzles, recipes) or some sort of pull-out-infographic or map to look at

Whilst I do believe in deplatforming, I wouldn’t call fediverse comment sections a platform.

Checking in on concerning individuals and helping them realise that they’re being unkind, is an important but exhausting role in society - and it’s good if mods aren’t the only ones doing it!

Parts of the fediverse are small enough of a community that you can give a helping hand to these people and break them out of their reactionary/propaganda bubbles.

You’re helping to keep the community kind - thank you for doing it

not to be confused with Potoooooooos !

all you need to know is that dogs are fluffye! no need to look at the other comments :)!

For reference, 1 litre of ice cream has about 180g of sugar in it. This milkshake is approx 0.95L and 263g, so 1.54x more sugar than straight ice cream.

(I wouldn’t recommend eating a litre of ice cream all in one go either)
