@Betty @duinath or he was gonna make beaver hats out of the prepared pelts but just never got around to it for whatever reason and then his grand were like “well I don’t know how to make a hat out of this, and also he gave every single one of us a hat for our tenth birthday anyway”

Unfortunate last names; sex mention 

@xieliansbignaturals it predates the modern sense of the word cum, which when spelled with the U has only been around since the 1970’s or thereabouts

anyway according to wiktionary it seems to be one of the “from place” names, specifically referencing Commin near Rouen or Comines near Lille

@duinath @Betty maybe PA just has too many taxidermy freaks because this still seems pretty plausible to me as donation material 😅

@duinath @Betty i have some family members who help run a small community museum@and the sheer amount of crap in the world is just boggling. If you express even a whisper of an interest you can get a hundred china cabinets for the cost of having a truck to pick them all up with

@duinath @Betty sure but if its a well known enough org then you can get thirty grandmas old furs and now you’ve got a room with ninety mink stoles in it

@Betty people cleaning out their grandparents estates

@aschmitz @wallhackio generally i recommend aiming for something better than “probably survivable”

@wallhackio getting you addicted to nicotine is probably actually one of the safer interventions when it comes to parkinsons ( dopamine agonists are notorious for their unsettling side effects: theamericanscholar.org/the-deg ) but if i did not have parkinsons i would see something being an effective treatment for it as a reason NOT to do the thing as that implies pretty radical changes to ones brain chemistry and neurological functioning that i do not currently want or need

@wallhackio do you guys know someone with parkinson’s or alzheimer’s or is she under the mistaken impression that things which are good for two diseases that have incredibly unusual impacts on how the brain works are good for people generally?

@alyssa it is nice to see things! and be able to get sunlight when you want it

@ljwrites the comparisons & history of different building codes is fascinating but i am a bit amused at the “regulations not culture” aspect of the article as if those regulations weren’t specced that way for entirely cultural reasons (and they even include many of these cultural reasons in the article!)

@twistylittlepassages good luck! another spanish specific suggestion is personal.colby.edu/~bknelson/S

the prof hasn’t uploaded the actual lectures / readings so its short on context but the exercises are good if you want a little extra practice in some area

@twistylittlepassages spanish only but i have been meaning to check out librelingo.app

also as a supplement to actual learning sites, is this community translation resource: tatoeba.org/en/

@aschmitz @wallhackio the wikihow article for fixing a clogged drain has “buy a hair trap to prevent future issues” as step 9

@aschmitz @wallhackio M says if you had a girlfriend she’d explain these things
