The worst thing is that I don’t even know _which_ of my jokes earned this…

Per the Cube Rule, a sandwich has a top and a bottom, that’s my point!

Does Vatican Cow deny the Cube Rule?

“Absent a top slice” covers toast, taco, and bread bowl (for soup and/or salad)!

They claim it’s for display power (reduction of), I think it’s to display power (because they can)

I’m happy with Kobo devices, by now we have three in the house (the fourth person uses their iPhone).

(Calibre for format conversions where needed to make it all work.)

THE VERY SECRET DIARY OF GIMLI SON OF GLOIN

“DAY THREE

Elrond refuses to move my room. Walked in on hobbits again this morning. What WERE they doing with that carrot? Inbred bunch of halfwits, no wonder they can’t even grow decent beards.”

Is this a How/You/Hyoo split?

Of course!

As opposed to a staff retrophrenologist?

Massaal Rode Lijn-protest in Amsterdam, organisatie telt 250.000 betogers Amsterdam stroomde vol met mensen in rode kleding, protestborden en vlaggen. "Meer dan 1 procent van de hele Nederlandse bevolking staat hier nu."

Vandaag 250.000 mensen die in Amsterdam vreedzaam demonstreren tegen genocide, voor vrede, voor medemenselijkheid, voor een Palestijnse staat.

De sociale meerderheid laat zich zien, laat zich horen.

That’s one of the reasons I have a Museumjaarkaart, here in NL. I can walk out & in as often as I like, take in as much or as little as I feel like.

Great with small kids, too, for precisely the same reasons.

Am I the only one that’s reminded of the Crimson Permanent Assurance?

In the index of some editions of the Handbook of Chemistry And Physics:

“Sea water, see Water, sea”

“For a witch stands on the very edge of everything, between the light and the dark, between life and death, making choices, making decisions so that others may pretend no decisions have even been needed.”

Happy equinox!

A tiny Goldcrest perched on a branch with its head cocked to one side, round body puffed up and eyes wide. Its pale olive-brown feathers look soft and fluffed, and the bright yellow stripe on its crown stands out. The tilted pose gives it a sweet but slightly bewildered look, as if it’s not quite sure what’s going on.

Tiny, confused, and wondering where the weekend went.

I’m reminded of Bayesian’s stability curve from the Interim Report. That looks healthier than this (and we know what happened there)!

(from: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6821ea...)

My conclusion is that they built the thing upside-down. Then you get a much more sensible stability curve.

😱

Ho, the Megapode!
