Give it a couple years… and then a few more.
In that case, does it become a weed box? Is a bread box still a “bread box” if it doesn’t contain bread?
Noting a correction is part of a larger scope of annotating something. From Wikipedia:
There is also a two-thousand-year-old character used by Aristarchus of Samothrace called the asteriskos, ※, which he used when proofreading Homeric poetry to mark lines that were duplicated. Origen is known to have also used the asteriskos to mark missing Hebrew lines from his Hexapla. The asterisk evolved in shape over time, but its meaning as a symbol used to correct defects remained.
In the Middle Ages, the asterisk was used to emphasize a particular part of text, often linking those parts of the text to a marginal comment. However, an asterisk was not always used.
Aristarchus of Samothrace was from c. 220 – c. 143 BC, so it’s been used for notation since at least then!
My favorite version of this type of comic is this one
Do you think this cat is leading a double life? They’re raking in twice the treats and food!
Is this X-Men’s Cyclops’ origin story? Maybe they’re worried you’ll have laser eyes and will need to wear protective eye wear for the safety of everyone around you.
Really, though, lots of eye flashes can be an issue with your retina. For me, I suddenly had a ton of flashes, like shooting stars, followed by a dimness that lasted for several minutes. It turned out to be an ocular migraine, which was kind of scary not knowing what was going on at the time.
Close! Mrs Robinson is the name of the song and the older woman in the movie. While the younger man is being seduced by the older woman (who happened to be a married family friend), her daughter who is around his age catches his eye.
The movie is about the fallout of the affair and Dustin Hoffman attempting to date the daughter.
Boiling water is extremely dangerous! Water at 140°F (60°C) will cause a serious burn in 3 seconds. Even water at 120°F (49°C) will cause a serious burn within 10 minutes. Source
I completely agree. Unless of course you’re talking about a Vespa… 🫠
Is this one referencing something that I’m missing? Or is the joke at face value, that they’re going off to war, which isn’t a suitable place for a pet?
I think your initial claim of cow’s milk leeching calcium has the burden of proof and so needs a source.
Otherwise, it’s proving a negative (that cow’s milk doesn’t leech calcium).
Just spitballing an idea. Along the lines of airdrop, does the instructor have a machine that the kids can send their music to when they’re done? This would create a backup, which the instructor could then organize and upload to a server (google drive?) that can be shared with the iPads as read only, so the kids could redownload the file again if need be.
Would its impact create a solar flare? And if that flare was hurtling towards Earth, would it be more devastating than other solar storms we normally see?
I had to look this one up, it’s a reference to a mountain climber, George Mallory. From Wikipedia:
Once, when asked by a reporter why he wanted to climb Everest, Mallory purportedly replied, “Because it’s there.”
There’s a lot of references to this, but it looks like there’s not a known source. Interestingly, the first reference to this tablet was from 1908. https://quoteinvestigator.com/2012/10/22/world-end/
A spoofed number only works going out, but if you respond, it would go to the real person instead (the same if you call the spoofed number back, you’d get the real person and not the spammer). Since this bot is responding to their replies, it can’t be a spoofed number.
This looks like a difference of focal length from the camera being used. A wider angle for the images on the left than the right. See this article for examples of the difference.
The front vs back cameras on an iPhone have different focal lengths, which can explain a difference while still using the same phone.
I’d also be interesting in knowing if people have in-unit laundry. Being in an apartment complex where there’s 3 washers for around 50 people, it’s not feasible to wash towels after every use. That also sounds very wasteful!
I shower every other day, and change the towels after a couple of weeks. The schedule is based on when they can get washed (laundry gets done every two weeks for clothes, and so it’s based on the availability of doing extra loads), or at the first sign of a smell or stain.
Bedding gets changed on a monthly basis for the same reasons, again, unless there’s a smell or stain.
