This was funny because I went back to see if the review I just read was Sticky Mustache, and it was actually pruwyben!

This is a great topic! I have more than one kinda odd hobby.

I got a bunch of old newspaper comic strips of Mary Worth from 1947 and 1951 (almost two full years’ worth) that I’m putting into ~3”x12” poly bags so I can read them more easily. I need to put them into a book of some sort.

I also got some color Sunday strips from 1951 but they’re a crazy size so I may need to put those in a separate book.

I think they’re so cool though! The strips have ads on the back from the time period.

Oh, that’s just a risky proposition, that’s all!

I would wager most people don’t know themselves well enough on psychedelics to trust watching weird shit with someone who is also on psychedelics.

I saw the poor kid’s hair in the thumbnail and was like “oh no.”

There are a LOT of brown squirrels in the Midwest.

I’d make sure to cut my hair AND wear a hat if I was going squirrel hunting and had hair like that.

Yes, thank you! I knew I read somewhere that she really liked it. We had that book when I was a kid and I read through it.

I really appreciate this, you just saved me at least $20.

Microsoft’s user experience is awful at every step in a browser. I wanted to like XBox but it’s clear why they’re losing.

I don’t find this odd at all! Just difficult to clean up if it drips on the coil.

Similarly, I have made a decent number of s’mores in the microwave with marshmallow fluff.

Which members of Rush earned PhDs?

I have been really curious about Sonic Racing Crossworlds, thanks for the blurb about it!

I have played Mario Kart prior to this gen (I don’t have a Switch 2) and really like Sonic’s characters. I might wait to see if it goes on sale because full price seems a little steep.

Try playing an old PCM wave file from a 68k based Macintosh or Amiga on a PC.

I really appreciate how specific this is. It sounds like it’s from experience.

That’s true, but I would argue “gut” is more colloquial.

Like, to “behead” someone means to remove their head, but it’s also colloquial. Whereas decapitation is the more medical term.

I think most people would say “de-pants” but I agree with you that it SHOULD be disempantsing.

Though I’m worried the “em” implies the pants are being extracted.

“Dis-pantsing” is also really good though. Then when it happens people can be like “Jimmy got a dis-pants-ation”

Their work has centered on osteocalcin, a hormone produced by some of the same cells that make up bone. His and others’ earlier research has suggested that osteocalcin helps regulate diverse functions such as metabolism, muscle function during exercise, and fertility.

In this sense, osteocalcin works like a lot like other hormones produced by the glands and organs that make up our endocrine system. Because of this, Karsenty and his team have argued that the skeleton should be considered an endocrine organ. That line of thinking led Karsenty’s team to theorize that our skeletons could have evolved to help us better respond to stress, too, since that’s another pivotal function of the endocrine system. And if that’s the case, then osteocalcin should play a leading role there as well.

So they exposed mice to predator urine and immediately saw osteocalcin in the mice’s blood.

The original article is from Gizmodo. If anyone else is curious!

Huh.

Does anyone else think that ChatGPT is still using the data, they’re just not referencing Reddit directly?

This is how you can tell Reddit’s $200+/share price is insane. Over 10% of its value dropped based on a different unprofitable company’s references to ingested content.

Yikes!!

Oh excellent point, I hadn’t thought about it.

I think it’s different for parts of living things.

Shelling is removing the entire shell. “Peeling” something doesn’t mean adding peel, and “pitting” means removing the pit.

However, for bodies, removing skin in general is “skinning,” but if you lose the skin of just your hand it’s called de-gloving. Removing the bowels isn’t called “boweling,” but “disembowling.”

If I said someone did a “shirting,” maybe I’m weird but I’d think of getting hit with a shirt before removing someone’s shirt. And in hockey, a “jerseying” is more about pulling the jersey over the head than removing it.

I think the Obama 2028 is intended to anger people on the right, since neither Obama nor Trump are legally allowed to run for a third time.

Ignoring the “unironically” in the title… which is confused.

It’s intended to be ironic, not “can we go back to when people liked us,” but as a response to Trump 2028 hats mentioned in the image.

It’s stupid either way, but how far down the confused rabbit hole can they go, honestly? No one is going to unironically wear an Obama 2028 hat.

Indeed, chaps by definition have no ass.

They’re assless pants, really.

Tangentially, I hate it that pulling someone’s pants down became popular and was called “pantsing.” You’re not putting pants ON the person…

I have been playing Crusader Kings III a bit, though I don’t know if I’m driven to continue.

I appreciate how complex the game is, and I find the kinda-historical aspects interesting… but I’m not sure if it’s a game I want to actively play, or a game that I’m glad exists but isn’t really for me.

This is how it came across to me too but maybe there’s context I’m missing.

A younger or less-experienced person comes up, says “I drew this like you draw!” and you’re mad? That’s a you problem.
