Back in my day we had to wait a whole fortnight for our enemies to ride up on a donkey and insult our onion harvest!

The color was originally going to be called beccapurple, but Meyer asked that it instead be named rebeccapurple, as his daughter had wanted to be called Rebecca once she had turned six. She had said that Becca was a "baby name," and that once she had turned six, she wanted to be called Rebecca. As Eric Meyer put it, "She made it to six. For almost twelve hours, she was six. So Rebecca it is and must be."

Same! My first emotion upon seeing this was "oh god, I would love that kind of solitude"...

You can see the row of mines on the road from this drone video. But I guess being in a war zone doesn't encourage cautious driving.

The US election is paralyzing the presidency from making any big moves until it's over. I think that's why the NK involvement was timed to start now, and also why Israel chose to start their genocide now. It's a good time to start bullshit and not be punished for it.

"Behind an able man there are always other able men."

It's a Chinese proverb akin to the"shoulders of giants" idea.

The envelopes have a too dark shade of green, are too glossy and have no return address the FBI says.

The way our bodies react to mosquito saliva motivates us to avoid being bitten. Which must have had evolutionary benefits, keeping us away from diseases.

I.e. all those people that didn't mind them and never got itchy from mosquito bites appear to have died out. And mosquitoes really wish that wasn't true.
