I was under the impression that that’s the definition of a gangbang. multiple tops and only one bottom is a gangbang, multiple tops and multiple bottoms is an orgy

wiener is the correct spelling, it comes from the German Wiener meaning Viennese, i.e. from Vienna, indicating a specific type of sausage originating in that city

do all non-trivial roots of the Riemann zeta function have the form 0.5+xi, and why or why not

Boomhauer actually did guest vocals on those first couple verses of Rosetta Stoned

they cite numbers about “cash savings” but then imply that that’s equivalent to savings in general, or liquid assets. like, I’m lucky enough to have a decent amount in my bank account, but my cash savings is probably like, forty bucks? I hardly ever use cash and when I do I just go to an ATM beforehand, why should I have hundreds of dollars in cash lying around? is that what they’re talking about, or is “cash savings” some colloquialism or term of art that I’m unfamiliar with that also includes other things than strictly cash?

edit: to be clear, I’m aware many if not most Americans are in dire financial situations, not trying to dispute that, the wording just seems weird. my first instinct is they probably do mean liquid assets, but to use the word “cash” when “liquid” is a more accurate word that would still be understood by a broad audience seems like an odd choice to me. maybe that’s just a bit of my slightly pedantic tendencies

I’ve been thinking for a while about getting a slow watch, a 24-hour watch that only has an hour hand

the standard time that almost everyone uses is metric, i.e. is part of the metric system, its units are SI units. there was a system of decimal time, if that’s what you mean, developed in France during the revolution, where a day is 10 hours, each 100 minutes, each 100 seconds

so a decimal hour is 2.4 standard hours
a decimal minute is 1.44 standard minutes
a decimal second is 0.864 standard seconds

how bout germophobes; bacteria and other microbes had already been around for 2.5 billion years before any multicellular life evolved. for over 70% of the history of life, they were the only thing that existed

then where should we live, Ben? fucking Atlantis?!

the gist, as I understand, is that the argument that was presented is basically “the purpose of the 14th amendment was only to grant citizenship to newly freed slaves; children of parents who do not intend to permanently live in the US, or who still feel allegiance to a foreign country, are not intended to be included.” Barrett’s response was essentially “your argument is self-contradictory. many parents of newly freed slaves did not feel allegiance to the US and wished to return to the countries that they or their ancestors were taken from against their will. the amendment cannot have been intended to both include and exclude their children.”

I think 50 for a gram is the worst deal I’ve ever heard of, that better be a really good fucking cookie

would it be too generous to posit that this may not be what most others seem to be thinking, but instead a “it is imperative that the cylinder remain unharmed” situation

bold to assume she knows the difference between Japanese and other east Asian people. in her mind she doesn’t need a Japanese character cause she’s already got “one of those” in Ching Chong, or, sorry, Cho Chang

what pissed me off about Jedi fallen order was when they would put in an elevator to hide a loading screen, and then when you got to the end it would still stutter for a couple seconds to finish loading. don’t make the elevator a real fixed distance dumbass, just make it a looping animation that continues arbitrarily until the loading is completely done

you know what they say, “there’s someone for everyone”

I don’t know a lot about the subject, but from what I’ve heard in many cases there are indications that bog bodies were people of high social status. so not the kind of people who were likely to be assaulted by bandits, but the kind of people who might shoulder blame for societal issues. that’s (at least in part) where the assumption that they are ritual sacrifices rather than random murders comes from
