In English, grapes are green or red.

Wine is not a grape. White wine and red wine refers to the color of the wine. Nobody calls vodka golden because it came from a potato.

Why? dd/mm/yyyy isnt practical. If you are asking someone to check out part of a book, you wouldn’t say “paragraph 4, chapter 3”, you start broad and become more specific. Calendars, at least in the US, are organized by month. You have turn turn to the month page before finding the date, it makes more sense to say month first because its the first piece of information that you need (unless its a more rare case that you are talking about an event in another year).

Im sure programmers prefer something different, but humans shouldn’t have to communicate differently to make computing easier. Computing exists to make human life easier, not the other way around.

But the pizza was stolen from the store down the street

I didnt realize that. I used one and the room it was in still cooled down considerably.

Running a dehumidifier can also help lower the temperature. Water takes a much longer time to heat up/cool down than air does. If you remove the warm moisture from the air and then open the windows and let the cooler 20-25 degree air inside, it should cool the house faster.

If you don’t wash behind your ears, bacteria will grow and cause it to smell. By their logic, they should be chopping off ears as well.

The purpose of circumcision is to make maturation and sex less pleasurable as it removes about 1/3 of sensory nerves and meant to make it more difficult to masturbate because you can’t just pull on tight skin. You can still perform the basic acts of sex and masturbation, but it’s not as pleasurable. Likewise, one can still hear without ears even if it’s not as good as those with intact ears.

Just goes to show how insane these people are.

I don’t know if I’m remembering this correctly. But I thought the church taught that everyone went below (don’t remember the exact name of the place) and between Jesus’s death and resurrection, he took the keys to heaven and he’ll and preached to those who were not alive to hear his message and then those who accepted him were saved.

Is anyone watching the Super Bowl this year? The Olympics are going on!

Isn’t that used as an icon for moving a file from one folder to another?

Which is really pathetic since we are paying their utility bills.

To be fair, far away could mean arms reach on the table compared to the squirtable honey containers from the grocery store

Until reading the comments, I didn’t know people actually owned these. I thought it was supposed to look like the stripes of a bee on a stick as a gimmick to sell. But according to the comments, it’s designed that way so you can twirl it if your honey container is far away from where you want to spread the honey to keep from dripping everywhere.

I’ve never seen one of these in real life, whether at home or traveling. I’ve been to almost all 50 states and 10 other countries.

When it had a plastic bag ban in place, the town of Laredo, TX saved something like a quarter or half million dollars a year on waterway cleanup because there were so many less plastic bags blocking everything.

Then the legislature and maybe state Supreme Court struck down the bans.

Hopefully management learned from this, given that the sign is probably from 2023 (last time that Dec 23rd and 24th were on Sat/Sun)

I understand that learning left from right is a skill to learn. However, it was rare for a teenager to be unable to distinguish their left from right, unlike today.

It’s an easy way to introduce fractions, especially since it’s common to hear/say it’s a quarter passed 2, half passed 5, and a quarter to 9.

Also teaches multiples, since the numbers on the clock represent multiples of 5.

Helps with directions, clockwise is when the hands spin to the right and counter-clockwise to the left. You’d be amazed how many students can’t tell their left from right.

In the movie, none of them died. Wonka verifies it at his office door when he picks up the mail. Charlie asks about the other kids and Wonka says they’ve been turned back into their terrible nasty selves, but are hopefully wiser for the wear. Wonka then points Charlie and Grandpa Joe to the exit and apologies for not showing them out because he’d already wasted the entire day.

Yeah, there was too much infighting and incompetence for him to do as much damage in the first term. His cabinet was dropping like flies the first term and we’re almost 8 months in and nobody’s been fired yet

*2016 was the last normal year.

Let’s not forget the chaos and societal upset during the first term.

Edit: I guess it would actually 2015 as the last normal year. 2016 started with Harambe and ended with the far-right winning an election and a Nazi parade honoring trumps election.

They look at one verse, 2 Timothey 3:16 “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,”

and apply that to the entire Bible, including the letters written to different sects in different cities/regions clarifying rules to keep them from breaking apart. Kinda like from Ghost, they imagine god reaching down and writing through people I guess.
