feedum_sneedson,

I give Brandon Sanderson a hard time for being a bit shit, but I enjoyed the premise of this book.

feedum_sneedson,

For sure a good six months of perfect training and diet, plus the steroids, AND the water manipulation.

feedum_sneedson,

I use the metric system for both, and I’m from the UK. I don’t even know my weight in stone anymore, but a stone is just 14 pounds, like how 16 ounces fit into a pound. It has about as much to do with a real stone as a foot in distance has to do with the foot on your leg. Or a metre with a parking meter.

IT’S GOING TO BE OKAY

feedum_sneedson,

Do you know, I’m not convinced that’s the etymology at all.

Fat shaming? On Lemmy? I expected better.

edit: better fat shaming, I mean.

It’s in the username!

Apparently this is largely a myth, somebody did try it on a single occasion but it doesn’t actually work to spread smallpox. That guy was clearly an arsehole, but yeah, apparently it wasn’t a thing. I don’t know how important this is given the near total genocide of the Native Americans, but it’s funny how some things become “common knowledge” and some things never really get out. Soap made of Jews is another one - it was apparently an urban legend at the time due to the letters written on the rationed bars of soap. Again, more than enough evil to go around without the soap. It does seem that one insane commandants wife collected people’s tattooed skin and likely did make a lampshade out of human skin. People say that didn’t happen, but there’s a pretty convincing photograph out there of all the seized items at one camp. Can’t remember why I started talking about this, think I was trying to distract myself from a stomachache.

“That’s some act, what do you call it?”

“The Social Sciences!”

feedum_sneedson,

I don’t understand why this is a joke. You know a Basque isn’t a type of soup.

feedum_sneedson,

Yes, but that’s a different word. I just don’t feel it’s good enough. If they’d said something about having all your Basques in one exit, then we’d be onto something.

feedum_sneedson,

I can help with this one - she’s actually talking about peanuts, on account of being a blue M&M, rather than testicles. Although testicles may colloquially be referred to as nuts, they typically don’t trigger anaphylaxis.

feedum_sneedson,

Those are actually different colours. But there’s not much in it.

feedum_sneedson,

‘Amazing’: Queensland mum uses electric car to ‘save’ son’s life with dialysis during power outage (www.theguardian.com)

An electric vehicle owner has used her car’s emergency power system to run her 11-year-old son’s lifesaving dialysis machine and another has ridden to the rescue of his neighbours after devastating storms cut power in south-east Queensland....

feedum_sneedson,

Did it save his life or not, the quotes are confusing me.

feedum_sneedson,

It’s your parent(s)/primary caregiver(s). It’s expensive and a little gratitude wouldn’t hurt.

feedum_sneedson,

What, you’re just going to give him five grand? I’m not sure I understand.

feedum_sneedson,
