In that case, does it become a weed box? Is a bread box still a “bread box” if it doesn’t contain bread?

Noting a correction is part of a larger scope of annotating something. From Wikipedia:

There is also a two-thousand-year-old character used by Aristarchus of Samothrace called the asteriskos, ※, which he used when proofreading Homeric poetry to mark lines that were duplicated. Origen is known to have also used the asteriskos to mark missing Hebrew lines from his Hexapla. The asterisk evolved in shape over time, but its meaning as a symbol used to correct defects remained.

In the Middle Ages, the asterisk was used to emphasize a particular part of text, often linking those parts of the text to a marginal comment. However, an asterisk was not always used.

Aristarchus of Samothrace was from c. 220 – c. 143 BC, so it’s been used for notation since at least then!

Vomiting and having diarrhea at the same time as 196 other people in a place with limited facilities sounds really awful. I can’t even imagine the chaos that would have ensued. What a logistical nightmare… those poor people!

I was thinking grifters gonna grift. I imagine they’re posting the “transformation” as promotion to gain followers, help launch their career as a talking head, or to sell something.

But why not both?

After I saw this movie, I really wanted to name a future cat John Robie. Plus, pets with human names are always kind of funny.

My favorite version of this type of comic is this one

Do you think this cat is leading a double life? They’re raking in twice the treats and food!

Is this X-Men’s Cyclops’ origin story? Maybe they’re worried you’ll have laser eyes and will need to wear protective eye wear for the safety of everyone around you.

Really, though, lots of eye flashes can be an issue with your retina. For me, I suddenly had a ton of flashes, like shooting stars, followed by a dimness that lasted for several minutes. It turned out to be an ocular migraine, which was kind of scary not knowing what was going on at the time.

This is always so fascinating! I had read another article not too long ago about an orangutan in the wild that was observed making a sort of poultice from chewed leaves to put on an open wound on its face. I guess it was the first time that orangutans were seen treating themselves with medicinal plants. Here’s BBC’s article on it.

Does this include My Vacation in Hell? I like that one a lot!

Close! Mrs Robinson is the name of the song and the older woman in the movie. While the younger man is being seduced by the older woman (who happened to be a married family friend), her daughter who is around his age catches his eye.

Boiling water is extremely dangerous! Water at 140°F (60°C) will cause a serious burn in 3 seconds. Even water at 120°F (49°C) will cause a serious burn within 10 minutes. Source

I completely agree. Unless of course you’re talking about a Vespa… 🫠

Is this one referencing something that I’m missing? Or is the joke at face value, that they’re going off to war, which isn’t a suitable place for a pet?

I think your initial claim of cow’s milk leeching calcium has the burden of proof and so needs a source.

Otherwise, it’s proving a negative (that cow’s milk doesn’t leech calcium).

I’m not looking forward to facing that Sombra buff. She has already seemed a bit overpowered in the mid ranks on console more recently, so I was hoping for a nerf.

Just spitballing an idea. Along the lines of airdrop, does the instructor have a machine that the kids can send their music to when they’re done? This would create a backup, which the instructor could then organize and upload to a server (google drive?) that can be shared with the iPads as read only, so the kids could redownload the file again if need be.

Would its impact create a solar flare? And if that flare was hurtling towards Earth, would it be more devastating than other solar storms we normally see?
