I’m confused, what was the injury? Did you launch the rock into the air and it came straight back down?

Happy Indepedence Day! Because you can write “independence” without three Ns!

I dug it out to upvote it :)

I don’t want to defend England’s housing building, but the Y axis not starting at 0 is visually misleading. Here’s a very rough correction:

I’ve seen people dismiss this as purely praise for Slater (about whom I know nothing), but it’s very hard not to read these statements from the tweet:

Great pick by @realDonaldTrump.

He likes that Gail Slater was given a prominent role. Fair enough – the ping of Trump’s account seems pandering, but it’s not exactly a million-dollar donation to his inauguration.

10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned.

Implies Republicans look to promote small businesses against tech monopolies. Demonstrably not the case.

People forget that the current antitrust actions against Big Tech were started under the first Trump admin.

Suggests the Trump Admin are the bastions against Silicon Valley giants. Completely laughable.

INTRODUCING THE ALL-NEW SOLID ORAL™ SPORTS HYDRATION SOLUTION DRINK THING!

They didn’t make a turn into a crossing. It turned onto the tracks.

Just to be clear for others, it did so at a crossing. That’s still obviously not what it should have done and it’s no defence of the self-driving feature, but I read your comment as suggesting it had found its way onto train tracks by some other route.

My best efforts from the script, but it ultimately goes to show that you’re right:

• Well, can you hang around a couple of minutes? He won’t be long.
• That’s enough music for now, lads. Looks like there’s dirty work afoot.
• Well, this is the main hall. We’re going to have all this knocked through, and made into one big living room.

That’s against a population of ~144 million, so with overlap:

• 0.70% of the population (1 in 143 people) have been killed or wounded
• 0.31% of the population (1 in 323 people) are permanent combat losses
• 0.17% (1 in 588 people) have been killed or are missing

Unrelated to hoist as in to lift, despite similarities

It’s exactly the same word, as I understand it – in this sense, thrown into the air rather than lifted into the air. We’ve started using the past participle as the present tense, and created “hoisted” to fill the gap, and the violent/uncontrolled sense of the word is now archaic.

This is the dumbest comment I’ve read all day but I’ve been chuckling about it for a good couple of minutes.

TL;DR: they shoved twigs up his ass. No, really.

Switzerland and Liechtenstein are also not member states, and Estonia’s islands are not shown.

Exactly this - here’s Bill Hader telling the story in 2014.

The sort of end user that gets common sense stuff wrong is not the sort of end user that would ever have read the documentation anyway 🤷

There’s a weird thing here. I totally accept that the traditional tongue map is pseudoscience and debunked, but if you’re paying attention to something like wine or good chocolate, letting it spread across your whole tongue really does seem change the flavor and bring new aspects to what you’re tasting.

My subjective impression is that there is some effect to exposing the whole tongue to a stimulus, and I’d really like to understand it more - but when you search the web, you pretty much just get deconstructive articles about the old model, and not much about what might actually be happening.

I don’t know anything about insects and spiders, but maybe some sort of running crab spider, e.g. Philodromus cespitum?

Not only is the text lazy, the aspect ratio on the image is fucked up too. I’d be mad if I was the artist they hired.
