8/x But what's another solution? Increasing the Length of the hull at the waterline (LWL). This is what they are doing by constructing this "reverse bow". You will increase the possible Hs and as such, be able to get more speed with less fuel consumption

Clams hate this one weird trick

The church looks like this one:

Three squirrels visit my garden regularly through winter. I cannot complain.

The bird feeder has been moved out of reach now. For now.

They get fed with monkey nuts most every day. But free food is free food.

I had noticed the bird feeder was drained quickly and did some repairs. But evidently it was not the wee birds!

Such wickedness.

Millwall winning really puts Wrexham up against it. Now they're fighting for 6th place with maybe 8 teams even, with several hard games coming up now. And a choice, beat Ipswich in the Cup or chuck it to fight every league game for the playoffs. Ipswich have some margin, they can beat Wrexham twice.

I've laboured for decades under the illusion that it was Pete Wylie who wrote the Channel 4 Tour de France theme when it was in fact Pete Shelley. Finally, the truth has emerged.

Trying to get your brother to text back and send wine in the 7th century BCE.

“Why do I not see your messenger? If I see your messenger before I enter Borsippa, let my brother send one jar of the same wine that you drink.”

Prime Minister Takaichi’s party wins a supermajority in Japan's lower house Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s governing party has secured a two-thirds supermajority in a parliamentary election.

Takaichi wins super majority in Japan:

"allows her to pursue a significant conservative shift in Japan’s security, immigration and other policies."
"Takaichi said she would try to gain support from the opposition while firmly pushing forward with her policy goals."

That poster on the left is such a throwback to the 60s (by design of course). All the clues, this is AN HILARIOUS comedy full of WHACKY people. That could Audrey Hepburn or Sofia Loren, it wouldn't make a difference.

Your brain is adapting to what you experience. 500 years ago, you'd have dreamt of a scribe illuminating a manuscript about a game.

Klaus Teuber said he saw Die Siedler von Catan fully formed in a dream.

I found a crocus (??) flowering and then immediately knocked it over. Arse.

I managed to avoid stamping on the snowdrops though. Which is nice.

Despite being a customer for years, it is impossible to log into my KLM / Flying Blue customer account without having to reset my password EVERY SINGLE TIME.

I love the actual experience of flying with KLM.

I hate the online experience of *trying* to fly with KLM.

Wasn't Jordan Peterson on a meat only diet with his wife, and they both nearly died?

Carry on then.

Was he taking the coin trays from konbinis? I've heard this is a big racket in Japan.

Making up external threats that you can then attack and or defeat is a basic right wing tactic. It puts focus where they want, it lets them marginalise and dehumanise groups, creating 'others' that can be blamed and attacked.

Basic fascism at work.

I'm watching it again now, it's on archive.org
Sooo creepy, very psychological, with a psychiatrist explaining it away rationally even.

He went to prison for shooting his wife's boyfriend.

Abel Ferrera directed a good version, it was released in different cuts. He focussed more on the people than the process. Still very scary.

I notice all these maps show that the Razouk is clearly in blue water and not on land. Why don't they just move it more into the blue on the maps?
