There’s a pretty large combination of factors that went on from what I remember. Partly it just plain didn’t get that hot that often in the UK or France back then. Partly they wore entirely different undergarments that layered to keep sweat off their actual clothes and keep them cool. Partly the summer clothes were often flowy or puffy which helped move air near the skin. And partly the fabrics they wore were different. Things like linen and cotton were the go tos. Even the linen itself was different, modern linen has shorter fibers and is much lighter.
After the great renunciation (when men started wearing the modern(ish) suit) you start to see a lot more references to taking off layers either to cool off or to keep them clean or whatever. You also start to see variations in really hot places like the American deep south and Bermuda to deal with climates that get way way hotter than Europe with its nearby seas and cooling prevailing winds.
Please note that all of this may be wrong and I am entirely going off what I can remember off the top of my head.
Unfortunately probably not. G3 events aren’t that uncommon, there’s usually one every couple months. It never hurts to go look for a few minutes though. It’s a pretty rough prediction, it’s not set in stone. The best I’ve seen was a G4 and not the big G5 a few months ago.
Yeah IDK if people in the thread are actually familiar with the scale.
I’m fairly far north and I’m considering turning off my g3 email alerts and just leaving the bigger ones since it’s generally a nothingburger.
IDK, it’s been a long time since I watched the episode but isn’t that literally the point? That any amount of critical thinking makes their views make no sense?
If you have about 20 minutes or less if you crank the speed, this podcast about laugh tracks is pretty interesting.
It’s the second video, and it starts at like 4 or 5 minutes in. It’s almost the entire video long.
You might want to put a content warning on the second video, it’s pretty rough.
The first video is largely about him running illegal lotteries, which is pretty terrible given the scale they operate at, but it’s something that the average person might not know about or really think about it being essentially child gambling.
The second video is an interview with a former employee who was put in solitary confinement for a video that never made it to YouTube because it was actually just them torturing him. Like, legitimate Geneva Convention war crime torture. Constant noise, no idea what time it is because you can’t see the sun, constant lights so you can’t sleep, constant monitoring, and him running until his feet bled.
If any of it is anywhere near true they need to be sued off the face of the planet in addition to going to prison.
As far as I’ve found, they’re both right. You shouldn’t have to wash your mushrooms, but it’s not a bad idea if you’re not buying fancy mushrooms.
The generic button mushroom variants you’re probably getting at the grocery store are grown in compost, which often contains some manure - ie poops.
But before growing mushrooms it’s pasteurized. Mycelium is picky, and fairly easily out-competed by other stuff, so to make sure you’re just growing mushrooms and not bacteria you basically have to sterilize the medium they’re grown in.
But those mushrooms are often grown in open beds, and harvested by hand. And that means they get that poop dirt right up on them. Will it immediately give you super botulism? Probably not but it’s still kinda ick.
Fancier mushroom varieties from smaller cultivars are the ones that actually don’t really need washed and often shouldn’t be. They’re grown in highly sterile environments and they fruit out of a container, so they never touched the poop. And that’s if they even used compost - lots use straw or wood.
If you do decide to wash your button mushrooms it’s not a big deal, they aren’t actually sponges, and they don’t absorb as much water as some cooking shows say. If they get soggy it probably means they’re old, try putting them in the fridge for a few hours uncovered. It’s basically a dehydrator.
Sorry I’m too lazy to look up a source, but the way I’ve heard it explained is that while they might occasionally give them to sick animals as a sort of panacea, they often just give all of them a low dose. Apparently it like, makes their immune system not have to work as hard so they gain weight faster. Which is basically textbook how to make resistant bacteria.
Don’t bother, it seems the metric are allergic to fractions that aren’t irrational.
^/s
1/16? That doesn’t seem very metric. They should have made it a tenth like everything else metric. That would be an easy system.

They do tile, they just don’t share an aspect ratio. Two letter sheets make a tabloid or ledger sheet (depending on grain direction of the paper), and two tabloid sheets fit on a broadsheet, which generally comes in rolls so there’s a bit of trim because the size comes from actually physically dealing with paper, which is why they’re also the names of the newspapers that were printed on them. Like, it doesn’t go down from letter like ISO a sizes do, but it generally works well enough.
Good thing Americans don’t use metric, that sure would be an awkward size.
US printers also do this, just using larger ANSI sizes instead of larger A sizes. Or they just use rolls.
It’s a beautiful standard that works wonderfully until you have to deal with any actual measurements. 210 x 297 mm - so easy to remember and divide.
Clearly the writer hasn’t seen DS9. Morn is the show’s best asset, of course he has a figure. Excuse me while I go scour eBay for one.
No one memed on Elon when he shut down his tracker? Or Kylie Jenner for the 3 minute flight?
5 KILOwatt hours is a typical laptop battery? Aren’t they more like 50-100wh?
