There are river dolphins, even.

AFAIK, there is no criminality (even in Russia) for homosexuality or religion.

You don’t know shit about fuck.

Peter Thiel explicitly sided with Sauron in an interview, because “things work in Mordor, while outside Mordor it’s all wishy-washy and environmental”.

Before sports it was apparently theatre slang.

Yeah, slang typically originates from expressions that are in everyday use among significant subcultural population. ‘Washed up’ could’ve been related to the sea if it were coined in the mid-nineteenth century at the latest, when seaside occupations were still dominant in the economy, especially in the UK. But it’s too far-fetched for the twentieth century, when urban life became more important.

Horse meat is consumed regularly in some Central-Asian countries. From what I’ve heard, it’s lean as hell, moreso than lamb.

Me looking through yall’s memes for what I can send to my friends.

Is that the cuck album.

Etymonline says that ‘washed-up’ is from theatre slang.

My favorite quote from the book:

Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If I moved to a martialarts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years. If my family was wiped out by Colombian drug dealers and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live, devoted it to wiping out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad.

Hiro used to feel that way, too, but then he ran into Raven. In a way, this is liberating. He no longer has to worry about trying to be the baddest motherfucker in the world. The position is taken.

That sounds like a more reasonable automation than a robot arm.

‘Funes’ was apparently inspired by Solomon Shereshevsky, who was ‘active in 1920s’, whatever exactly that means. The article on mnemonists lists a couple more living around that time, but nobody earlier.

List of people claimed to possess an eidetic memory has two or three people born around 1860-'70, and among earlier murky claims a notable outlier Leonhard Euler:

He was able to, for example, repeat the Aeneid of Virgil from beginning to end without hesitation, and for every page in the edition he could indicate which line was the first and which was the last even decades after having read it.

The article on ‘memory sport’ says: “Techniques for training memory are discussed as far back as ancient Greece, and formal memory training was long considered an important part of basic education known as the art of memory” and cites ‘Secrets of a Mind-Gamer’ from NYT — but this is of course different from natural eidetic memory. ‘Art of memory’ also discusses techniques from the ancient times.

Right? The article even says that the cone thing has been going on since the eighties, but apparently the council still hasn’t learned.

May I inquire as to which oil you mean — canola? As the staple oil varies by region, so I can’t be sure which one it is for you.

This circus will be a part of Why veterans hate ICE.

Reportedly, establishing a rudimentary signing language helps in communication until the child has proper motor skills for speech. However, it’s important to not overly rely on signing to the detriment of language development.

Isn’t ‘Less Wrong’ atheistic, though.

Just FYI, if you just use Firefox in both OSes, you can sync the tabs, history, and extension settings. Though I’ve seen the opinion that Safari works faster, but OTOH extension developers are unhappy with Apple’s publishing/vetting process, and some devs dropped support for Safari that they provided previously.

I wonder if iOS and watchOS being macOS in miniature means that the terminal can be used on them natively, like on Android.

those little pop ups for the space and g menus

Emacs has this with the Hydra plugin, iirc. Particularly, Doom Emacs already has this feature packaged.
