That look: "You only cared for my wellbeing when I was up here and not down there. Curious double-standard, is it not?"

measuring cell stress (literally how much you can deform a cell) as a factor that can influence its development is a bit of a hot crossover field in Physics and Biology atm

EU one requires an ID/passport, UK one doesn't -- I'd argue that the EU one is safe and the UK one should get more attention on the validitiy

So I was reading up about it a little, and apparently the lady did get some kind of spoken agreement from the priest that she could restore it:

"(The) priest knew it! He did! How could you do something like that without permission? He knew it!"

and the priest then washed his hands of her once she botched it.

That being said, the piece is getting so much attention that the little church is raking in donations, and the woman is now sueing for a piece of the pie:

Actual Link: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/carl-twinly-cow-arrest/

The story about "Carl Twinly" is a work of fiction. However, the mugshot shown above is real. It was taken in 2008 and shows a woman who was arrested in Middleton, Ohio. According to Fox 19, she had been hired to dress up as a cow to promote a local haunted trail. She was arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct after she allegedly got drunk, chased some children, and interrupted traffic.

Fox 19 reported: "A Middletown woman is behind bars, charged with disorderly conduct after she was arrested while wearing a cow suit ... Police say Michelle Allen was getting in the way of traffic and chasing children while wearing her cow suit. She's also accused of urinating on a neighbor's front porch."

Ratatat. I got into them through an Albino Blacksheep video, and they were my secret favourite band for a bit.

Then they got popular, and people that I didn't really jell with started casually raving about them, and I found it difficult to enjoy the music because of those people.

Years later, I grew up. Music is for everyone, and everyone forms their own relationship with it that shouldnt impact the enjoyment of the music itself.

Yes, they were sold on the band through mass advertizing channels. Yes, I discovered them through a more organic means. But that's how fans are born, and yes some of them aren't there for the music, but they are there to have a good time and maybe those songs hold special memories for them later in life when they were hanging around with friends.

Mine is literally being held together by two rubber bands.

Suggestions for a new one would be most welcome. Though to be clear, I'm not asking for an idealised wallet, I'm asking for the specific one that you have now that has lasted you X years without complaint

The more worn and frayed, the better

If you were going to sell your house tomorrow, what would influence your decision the most?

Assume that the difference in money offered isn't that wide, and it comes down to personality.

Who would you want living in your house right now?

  • Married couple?
  • Same religion or beliefs ?
  • Ties to the area?
  • Type of work (Banker? Social worker?)
  • Same cultural background?
  • Has physical skills?
  • Asks a lot of questions about the house?
  • Wears formal attire?

I need ideas guys, I've got my first house viewing tomorrow and I'm pretty low on the ideal candidate ladder.

A haunting re-imagining of William Hope Hodgson's The Night Land, with themes of prophecy and reincarnation.

The above website itself has fan-drawn maps of the landscape of the Night Lands, and I love looking at it from time to time

They brought them out front and center at my local supermarket, and either they are selling like hotcakes that are constantly being replenished.... or literally no one is buying.

Investigating this further, I looked at events that were occurring in 1899 in Portugal and noted the following births:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1899_in_Portugal

  • 6 February - Jaime Gonçalves, footballer (deceased)
  • 25 February - António Pinho, footballer (deceased)
  • 21 April - José Ramos, footballer (deceased)
  • 30 April - Fernando António, footballer (deceased)
  • 10 May - Artur Paredes, guitar player (died 1980)
  • 21 August - António Leite, fencer (died 1958)
  • 26 August - Francisco Vieira, footballer (deceased)
  • 24 October - João Francisco Maia, footballer (deceased)
  • 8 November - Manuel António Vassalo e Silva, Governor-General of Portuguese India (died 1985)
  • 19 December - Fernando Santos Costa, army officer (died 1982)
  • 30 December - José Pimenta, footballer (deceased)
  • Armando Machado, fadista, guitarist, "viola" player (died 1974)
  • Jesus Muñoz Crespo, footballer (died 1979)
  • Sarmento Rodrigues, naval officer, colonist, professor (died 1979)

Coincidence? I think not. I reckon Queen Victoria new exactly how shot our chances would be in any subsequent World Cups against Portugal, and sought to minimize the damage.
