Took me a second but I see it now - very cartoony. I like it!

Off topic, but I’ve not seen that emoticon before (unusually left-facing too!) and it’s adorable.

You can buy a kit online and do it at home with a guide or video.

Financial success is a poor measure for the worth of artists of any stripe. If anything, it has an inverse relationship.

Also UK and similar, except our council has five categories:

• General refuse
• Paper and cardboard
• Other/mixed recycling (plastic, metal, glass)
• Compostable food waste
• Garden waste (optional, at additional cost)

Food waste is collected every time, but the others alternate each week between either general refuse + paper or just mixed recycling.

If you pay for garden waste collection, it gets picked up once every two weeks during ‘gardening season’, or once a month during the winter.

We also don’t get wheelie bins - you have to provide your own general refuse container. Many people don’t bother and just leave loose bin bags out, which sometimes results in foxes scattering rubbish all over the street. Recycling goes in plastic crates and food waste in a caddy, which are provided by the council.

Inbox zero means handling your emails in such a way that you keep your inbox empty. Sounds like someone named a shitty SAAS product after the concept.

The weirdest thing to me is how some people brag about how many tabs they have open as if it’s a competition. Like, it shouldn’t be a point of pride, it just shows you don’t know how to use bookmarks.

I think it’s closely related to people with tens of thousands of emails in their inbox, and people who keep all their files on their desktop. Some people just live in chaos.

UK here. Pretty similar to the US in most respects, I think? But we have Christmas pudding, the queen’s king’s speech on telly, and Boxing Day on the 26th.

My wife is Belgian, so in our house we combine the otherwise conflicting traditions of when to open presents: most stuff gets opened at midnight, in the European fashion, but then we save the smaller ‘stocking filler’ gifts until the morning. Best of both worlds!

Hallucination

Perhaps of note that the pronunciations of some penny amounts are not intuitive, e.g.

• 2d = tuppence
• 3d = thruppence

In all cases, the ‘pence’ is commonly squished together so it sounds more like ‘pns’ (like in comeuppance).

Mandarins or clementines last for ages in the fridge, don’t bruise, and taste amazing when cold.

Obviously you’ll want to start with absolute basics like mouse and keyboard navigation.

Beyond that? Maybe something involving a ‘treasure hunt’ to learn about navigating files and folders, renaming files, and copying vs. moving them.

Anecdotally, I’ve heard lots of kids coming up now really struggle with the concept of file systems, so it’s definitely something worth teaching early.

Not any more

For reference, the SLS reportedly costs $2 billion per launch.

Amerie - 1 Thing

It’s on the album Meddle. It’s a 2:15 blues song with a dog howling throughout, which is exactly as bad as it sounds.

I maintain that Cake has never released a bad album, but Race Car Ya-Yas on Fashion Nugget is absolute crap. A festering boil on the face of an otherwise unblemished body of work.

The correct answer for Pink Floyd must surely be Seamus?? How that song ever got made, let alone included on an album, is beyond me.

Based on experience: play video games for too long instead of eating, watch movies they don’t normally enjoy, and forget to go to sleep at a reasonable time.

No, holiday is just a corruption of ‘holy day’.
