You open the door to find a group of naked people sitting in a circle. One woman is in the center, arms flung wide, head tilted back, screaming to the ceiling.

After the door slams behind you, you realize you don't remember actually entering the room. You look back at the door. As you turn around you see that the naked woman is gone.

In her place is an elderly man, wearing a pinstripe suite. He leans on a baseball bat as if it's a cane. All the naked folk in the circle are staring unblinkingly at you. All together, in perfect unison they say "that's strike one."

The man walks over to you and offers you a box of cracker jacks. As he extends his arm he says "you'll never believe how great these can be! Here have some"

Do you:

Quietly take some cracker jacks to avoid angering the creepy nudist cult you've stumbled upon? Page 115

Turn around and try to flee this freak show? Page 1

I don't like french press coffee, it's too oily. For my money pour over is the way to go.

In communist Moldova, belief suspends you!

They're trying that with the pitt. This article kinda covers it. I think producers are thinking if we went back to 70's through 90's style visual effects and set designs it would turn people off.

Take star trek. They had the bridge, engineering, and a couple of other sets they could basically fit into one warehouse. Same with friends, Seinfeld, all the 20th century hits. Now shows are much more sprawling and vx intensive.

But yes! I would love to see a return to no frills, well written, prolific shows. I would watch the shit out of a good start trek reboot!

I love the lowdown. Every episode is him delving into someone else's self contained (almost), world. And you're in for a treat, every episode has top notch guest spots.

Idk what you mean by bratty. It's definitely for grownups. I think it's very well done. I honestly can't believe I've never heard of it before. I'd recommend it to someone I liked. Give it a couple episodes, see how you feel about it.

The cars are impounded and then used in a demolition derby, proceeds from that go to the trams.

Sand has a lot of minerals in it. Probably the healthiest veggie of them all!

I hired movers for my last move. Best 300$ I ever spent.

I was never onboard with giving pepe to the Nazis. Pepe transcends.

Like they could cool their shit, and desalinate water with the waste heat. Provide water to dry areas. Like Baja or Texas. Bonus points if they could run off renewables. Seems like a win win

 
 

Ripped from PaulDrye@lemmings.world no idea who the original artist was. They are talented AF though!

 

Keeping with the theme of early aughts hip-hop I'm seeing here

 

10 of the last 10 years were the hottest on record. It's time. I know so many people that will give lip service to the environment and then think nothing of taking multiple flights per year on the flimsiest of pretexts.

And as all too often happens, people go to poorer countries where they get waited on hand and foot, and then act like they're doing some giant favor to the locals. All too often these tourist sights end up being an unmitigated natural disaster, not to mention locking the locals out of their own back yard.

And then they'll turn around and claim they're "helping the local economy" trying to justify it. It's colonialism by another name. If they paid fair wages to the workers these vacations would become much more expensive, perhaps prohibitively so.

And wtf is wrong with you, you can't relax in your own region? Gonna cook the planet because you can't be happy and relax in your own hemisphere. Y'all need to chill it with the air travel!

 

The wiki says it was transferred to Europe via the middle east. It seems obvious the Arabic numerals we use today are so much easier to work with than Roman numerals.

Was there a noticeable uptick in trade simply because bookkeeping became so much easier? Was there a noticeable uptick in the complexity and pervasiveness of monied, as opposed to in kind, daily trade in all levels of society?

It seems like the humble zero hit the scene and next thing you know the Renaissance is getting under way.

 

I left this pic in a comment on another post, but she's so cute I figured it deserved its own post.

 

It starts getting warm and she wants in and out dozens of times a day.
