s_s,

Usually they’re just talking about the sodium levels.

s_s,

Well, it used to be called the Northwest Territory.

Then we expanded even further west and it became the “old west”.

Then the “old west” came to mean the Southwest region pre-statehood.

So then they became the “Midwest”.

Chicagoland.

Only half of Minnesota was part of the OG Northwest Territory, so in that sense, your friend is maybe correct.

You cannot save the world by tipping.

That said, tip table service, delivery drivers and valets if local customs encourage it.

Or…They threaten to do this and just keep your $600

It’s really the threat that motivates people, and it’s the free $600 non-refundable deposit that motivates the landlords.

8k hours in Minecraft, 1.4k hours in City Skylines, about 1.2k of those in one city. 😂

Explore. Build. Minigames with friends.

It’s a sandbox game and they’ve been adding content for 10 years.

Makes sense to me.

Reddit’s new userbase (Bots) don’t buy gold.

You don’t want to IPO and have to document that one of your 3 revenue streams is decreasing month-to-month.

The strategy is to keep pumping the fake traffic and keep selling the bogus impressions to ad buyers.

What would you call a monarchist government where multiple families rules in turns?

I’m making a fantasy novel. In this one there is a monarchy system, where 4 families rule in turns. After the current monarch dies, the next family in the circle most present an heir from their family to ruse the nation until they die and then the next family takes the throne....

s_s, (edited )

So a monarch that can’t appoint their own heir really isn’t much of a monarch. The point of being a monarch is not being beholden to any rules.

This is just an oligarchy with rules that don’t benefit 3/4th of the participants–which is as odd as it sounds.

After all, the point of 4-5 year terms in modern democracies is that you don’t have to wait your whole life to take over.

It’s an interesting concept, but coming to this arangement–and maintaining it in perpetuity–must have been an extremely extrordinary set of circumstances.

Is the monarch required to be sacrificed every so often? That would kinda mimic the Aztec Festival of Toxcatl, where an impersonator of the god Tezcatlipoca was sacrificed every year after being treated like a god for the year. The god-man was usually selected from royal families. He had religous function and was provided for in specific ways (eg a harem) but he wasn’t a monarch.

Watermelon Man by Herbie Hancock

You’ve undoubtedly heard it before in samples, at least.

s_s,

It’s a file.

s_s,

We've finally found something truly worthy of staying in the British Museum.
