In their 90s? Gimme some bread and dancing then!

It’s a huge, weird mess of a flop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPL7OZF1iI4

Yeah, though clues are few and far between; the

is the biggest clue. From Jordan’s other writings, the

and that led to the Age of Legends.

Losing consciousness for any reason = ER. A friend passed out during dinner and we weren’t sure what to do, so we called the triage nurse and they were like “ER now!” (He was fine, they never figured out what happened and it’s never happened again, but it’s definitely stayed with me.)

Great criteria. Another “straight to the ER” one is loss of consciousness; people get knocked out in movies all the time so it’s easy to assume it’s fine, but it’s not.

Plastics industry: “See?! We told you plastic decomposes and doesn’t just stay in landfills forever. Happy now?”

404 Media is doing excellent work; if you like this kind of thing you might want to sign up for their newsletter.

And they put the operating rooms on the top floor so nearby pedestrians wouldn’t hear the screaming so loudly.

I thought it meant that all the icons/interfaces for AI seem to have a graphical gradient between colors, usually cool colors like blue/purple/pink. (Like the face in the meme)

I recall they lowered guys out of a helicopter on ropes one year, too. It was hilarious to walk around the floor at E3 and see CoD or whatever guys in their fakey-looking booth bro costumes pass real army guys wearing real uniforms passing out enlistment info and ads for America’s Army. Why pay booth bros when you can just assign some soldiers you’re already paying?

It’s a Schacht Flatiron; Schacht is, I believe, the largest American spinning wheel manufacturer. https://schachtspindle.com/products/flatiron-spinning-wheel?variant=45418176250151 I really like it. My first wheel was a Majacraft Pioneer (NZ made).

I got 2 bags of sparkly, brightly-colored art batts (wool, silk, and angelina) at a fiber festival at the beginning of June, and I just finished spinning all of them today (it doesn’t take months to do, but I cut my finger in mid-June and had to take a break from fiber arts for a while). Now the singles need to rest, then I can ply them, then they’ll be yarn! And then I can knit something very happy with them and maybe have it done in time for winter.

This, but I use washi tape because it is less gunky.

I live in a townhouse that’s also a condo, and call it one or the other depending on the context. Structurally it’s a townhouse, legally it’s a condo.

An apartment is a structural classification (one of many separate dwellings within the same building, usually flats); a condo is a legal classification for how ownership of a dwelling works (collective ownership of parts of a property, individual ownership of other parts). If a home is both, it’s usually referred to as a condo, so “apartment” usually implies that it’s rented.

Same!

It tends to break chat bots because those are mostly pre-written prompts sent to ChatGPT along with the query, so this wipes out the pre-written prompt. It’s anarchic because this prompt can get the chat bot to do things contrary to the goals of whoever set it up.
