Fair enough about honey, but with jellyfish I think it starts to get into the idea that the distinction between plants and animals isn’t as clear cut as people imagine.

Jellyfish are classified animals, in the same phylum as coral, sea anenomes, and a parasite that lives inside the cells of fish.

Obviously we need to classify them somewhere, but in terms of the ethics of eating them for food they seem closer to plants than mammals to me. After all plants can also communicate, and respond to stimuli including sending out warning signals when they’re being eaten (are they suffering? No way of knowing, consciousnessis not well defined).

My personal one of these is just saying “I’ll” as a response to questions like “Will you …?” or “Who will …?”.

If it’s a contraction of “I will”, it should work, but somehow it sounds weird, like it disrupts the expected pattern of emphasis.

What about honey?

What about jellyfish?

Probably umbilical cord.

Sometimes the title really makes the post.

Ah yes, the EU, foremost actor in stealthy propaganda. 🙄

Underrated insightful comment.

Is CS not a good option these days?

I’m not sure exactly what you’re asking, and I probably don’t know the answer anyway, but I felt compelled to add a safety warning for anyone working with these.

The CRTs themselves can hold a high voltage for a long time, please be very very careful.

Personally I use a continuous never ending to- do list, tiny writing on an A4 piece of paper folded into 16ths.

Seeing all the crossed out tasks makes me feel proud, seeing something not crossed out in an older area gives me guilt, and overall it just keeps me connected to the futility of existence. 😁

I’m a middle- aged millennial going through an undergraduate university course, in my first year I had to teach some of my group work partners how to move files from one folder to another in windows.

And these are students who have chosen modules in electrical engineering, so they have more technical/ computer education than most at that age…

Better still, I’ll fix your whole life so you don’t need a car! 🤯

They seem fun.

What, you’re going to run the dishwasher with only one item in it?

Fair enough.

I’ve never used one anywhere but a toilet or sink, that I can remember. How does one use it in the boudoir?

I clogged the toilet while visiting a friend’s house at 11 years old. Didn’t know what to do, tried to ignore the problem. When his mum noticed, she fetched me a plunger and sent me back in there to sort it out.

It’s just a social convention.

A mere faux pas.

I don’t think that’s equivalent.

Many people happily lick the areas where sex toys are used.

Far less people would do so where toilet plungers tend to be applied.

We don’t know that it’s directly on the carpet. When i want to put my thinkpad on a soft surface I use the Beano annual as a handy intermediate layer (other A4 hardbacks are available).
