No, they couldn’t pronounce the ‘th’ sound. The best they could do was a breathy ‘t’ sound. So in the original printing presses, mostly produced in France, thorn was omitted, and ‘th’ was used instead. That convention has continued all the way into modern type. At least that’s the story I’ve been told in the past.

Could we do a hostage trade with France to get back the thorn?

That is the apple IIc from 1984. (☝︎ ՞ਊ ՞)

Parallel killers: “et tu Brute?”

You’re on a link aggregator, my guy. It’s literally a website centered around stealing shit from around the internet.

Damn, just looked it up and he died during that film’s shooting. That sucks, he fuckin nailed that role.

Grape skin.

The revolver looks like one of the various Colt .38 snubnose revolvers used by police prior to the 1990s. They all had a very similar look.

Examples from this article:

Well there’s this case where Monsanto sued a farm for replanting seeds they had a patent on.

And there’s several other cases similar to that where Monsanto has sued farmers. For instance in “David vs Monsanto”, when a farmer found out some canola plants were roundup-resistant and propogated them on his farm. Monsanto sued him for not having them removed, especially since Monsanto had a program where if they were informed, they’d removed them for farmers.

So while it’s not exactly as deceived above, it’s not far off.

Nonono I’m pretty sure that’s the article author, Matthew Rodriguez. /s

but maybe.

Paywalled, here’s the archive link from the comment section.

TLDR: Cisco’s stock is at a high that it hasn’t been at since the early 2000s, at $80.25.

Very cool setup. My one gripe is that the carry handle is not captive in the body, so those two screws on the handle’s rear are the only spots it’s fastened to the body. I personally would not trust that.

I view that aspect, the motive, as being added specifically to provide a reason for those who haven’t acquired empathy yet, Such as many children. If you simply say ‘don’t bully people for being different’ the immediate rebuttal will be ‘why not?’, and if you don’t give some concrete answer, then the lesson will potentially not stick.

These tenets of kindness and goodwill are most powerful and propagateable when concrete, calculated explanations can be provided on top of reasons which rely on empathy, because empathy works for some, but when empathy is lacking logic must suffice.

Pretty sure the moral was to not ostracize people for being different, because it might turn out you need their difference at some point.

However for the story to play out how it did, Rudolf had to be given less help against bullying than he should have been given.

Underwear design would be much more bizarre

Nah, it happens through the clothes too

Welp, cryptographic software Nintendo 64 port wasn’t on my bingo card, but I respect using retro-hardware emulation as the compatibility layer.

Love me a good battered fry, but my go-to is shoestring. They air fry quite nicely.

For those who also couldn’t figure it out in your head, it’s apparently semaphore.

Nah, they’ll have him in the chair after one slide transition where his surprised frown stays on screen the whole time, and he’ll still be getting shocked intermittenly when it goes credits.
