That’s true I guess, but he may have just been a side show for the bearded lady.

He would’ve been advertised by the travelling circus (freak show) as the world’s fattest but they had no way to know who in fact was the world’s fattest.

I pronounce it centaur, as in it rhymes with faur, kaur, boobaur. You know, the “aur” sound, like “ooohhuuuurrr” but more dynamic.

Sure mate. I’m sure the engineers will step in and fix all the language problems any day now.

That sounds like a nice, balanced, accepting kind of attitude.

That commenter returnofthemack44 seems typical of conservatives of late though. Just yesterday I was looking at this bonkers mess of nutjobs on a local facebook page (I know…). Some conservatives screaming blue bloody murder about a local politician. He must have mentioned that he had watched some (outrageously popular right now) show about teenagers getting into trouble online and whatever. Now they’re calling him a pedophile because he endorses underage pornography or something.

It’s just nuts to me that people are so invested in the belief nudity is somehow going to corrupt their innocent child. I mean, all kids are naked under their clothes right? What do people think is going to happen if a child sees someone’s bum or god forbid their cock and balls?

If people aren’t comfortable with nudity that’s absolutely fine, but that doesn’t mean everyone else needs to cater to them.

A silly colloquialism isn’t indicative of success. If you tell people to do something they don’t want to they’re not going to decide they actually like it later on.

There’s just no fucking way most Australians would decide to discard the current spelling of words in favor of the American spelling. I feel certain American’s feel the same about British spelling.

There’s often words that trip me up and I can’t remember which is the Australian English spelling.

It doesn’t help that devices are often misconfigured to use American English spell checkers.

I don’t “feel” as though different spellings are more correct in these cases.

I think you’ll find everyone agrees that it should be fixed but no one wants to compromise on changing how they spell things.

It’s not really “describing disability as a number” per se, like obviously everyone’s abilities are unique and varied, but in this context it might mean what government incentives the employer might be eligible for, and what work capacity the applicant has in terms of hours or something.

I think you might be tackling this the wrong way.

You can’t really provide hard evidence that “the news is censored” to someone who doesn’t want to believe that, because the term “censored” is subjective.

As in, reasonable evidence would be a peer reviewed study of media bias, of which there are many, but a “skeptic” can reject that evidence on the grounds that it doesn’t meet their definition of censorship.

A more meaningful conversation would be to ask whether news sources have bias, and which are more biased than others and in which way.

The term “censorship” implies a big secret not being told, which isn’t my impression of what’s happening. Rather, there’s a constant conservative spin on everything that happens.

Sadly, I suspect you might be about to discover that you can’t change your partner’s political alignment. I’m in my 40s, and in my age group you’re either lucky enough to share political views with your partner, or you ignore the issues you disagree on, or you separate.

I’m not really sure what you’re looking for.

Museums have heaps of old photos available online.

I found this collection from our state museum in a few minutes:

No.

Is this just someone new reporting on the established findings from 5 years ago

It looks like additional rigor has confirmed those findings from 5 years ago.

The article says that originally they dated grass seeds in the same layer to 23k years but they can be effected by hard mineral deposits or something?

So more recently they dated pollen, and did some other kind of luminescence testing. So now they have 3x dating methods that all align to 23k years.

Don’t most doors just close against the frame so there’s no line of sight without the need for the cool design?

Yep that’s weird.

I don’t really understand what you’re getting at.

Smart phones are easy to identify by their model name? As In the current Samsung flagship phone is the S25 Ultra. S for Samsung. 25 for 2025. Ultra being better than Pro or whatever.

IDK about tech products but “obfuscation” is a strategic component of pricing. Telcos do this with their phone bills. This type of call costs this much per minute and that type of call is free for the first 5 minutes per call and calls to these numbers are a flat rate for the first 5 hours per month but you also get 30 free minutes plus another 45 minutes to be used at off-peak times.

They do this so you can’t compare to other providers.

They likely just use a block list.

If a not was using the vpn server you connected to then it ends up on the list for a few days.

I don’t think the peak is the original cladding.

The lower levels had smooth limestone I think.

That top part had that silver and gold alloy I think?

Yeah the pyramids at giza used to have an outer layer of white limestone (was it? Or maybe marble…) which was taken and used elsewhere.

It’s really strange to read that transcript, a glimpse behind the veil so to say.

I continually make the mistake of just assuming that there’s intelligent sophisticated professionals behind the scenes propping up the idiots that we see front and center. There really isn’t though. They’re talking about global politics the way soccer mums would organise the season break up.
