Apparently the Argentine equivalent is something like “take your hat off, you’re not in this photo”

“meat” is descended from a Germanic word that just meant food, which is still evident in cognates in other languages (i.e. “mad” in Danish) and archaic words like “sweetmeats”

And throw away the key

Least surprising revelation ever.

The City of London is the one square mile in the centre that consists mostly of office space, at a fairly high density, and not the entirety of London. Bicycles outnumbering cars there is just common sense, and shouldn’t be remotely controversial. (Parking there would probably be a massive headache, for one.)

With other boroughs of London, it’s a lot more varied. Westminster and Chelsea, for one, is very different, with its council vetoing bike lanes the Greater London council planned to run through it, as its wealthy residents don’t want them taking road space away from their Land Rovers and Porsche Taycans or bringing the wrong kinds of people through their neighbourhoods.

Wow. Haven’t seen a proper medieval-style Blood Libel in the wild for a while.

Either that or he’ll vote for Musk’s Epic Based Lulz Party

Dude slathers himself in antelope guts, jumps the fence into the leopard enclosure, then complains about his face having been eaten.

What happened to fish-benders, though?

If it determines their name sounds like (((one of them))), MechaHitler could lock its doors and detonate its batteries, helping to continue its namesake’s mission.

They made the mistake of being underprepared in 1939; they’re not going to make it again.

Vietnam is known for its broadcasting equipment?

You laugh now, but a hundred years after the collapse of technological civilisation, the surviving mass-produced artefacts of that lost age will be associated with great prestige and power. Imposing buildings like palaces and cathedrals will feature parts from long-lost machines as prominent architectural features to signal the power and proximity to the divine of those who commissioned them.

Things are bad man

It’s OK. He has sat his son down and had the “hiding your power level” talk with him.

The original full-stack developer

They weren’t “goth” because the entire medieval age was goth (see also: the cathedrals), and when everything is goth, there’s no reason for the term “goth” to exist.

And the coffee is all Robusta (as that’s what grew in France’s colonies) and they can’t make an espresso to save their lives.

Half a century or so later, when France occupied the Ruhr Valley after WW1, they billeted North African troops in the locals’ houses, some say to humiliate the once-proud Germans. (I didn’t read what happened afterwards, but I’m sure nothing bad resulted from this action.)

There was an old wacky-crooks story about a one-legged man who kept getting arrested stealing display shoes from shops when they matched his remaining leg.
