It looks like abacus is of uncertain origin and likely doesn't share the same root as acus. Finding unexpected histories of words is the fun part of etymology though. Like how donkey ass and butt ass have completely different origins

I usually sleep on my back but if I sleep on my side I always use a pillow. I have a pretty big head so if I'm lying flat with no pillow my neck is straight and not bending backwards

I think I only know one shitty Karen in my life and the rest are great

Reading the comments is making me feel like a psychopath. I guess I'm the only one who occasionally uses no pillows because one can be too much for me

I got a media failed to load error at first and thought that was the joke

At least most of us don't need to worry about time dilation caused by relatively yet. Have fun with that, space faring developers.

I'm on a similar journey and have started self-hosting as many services as I can. I've got Jellyfin (open source Plex alternative), a WebDAV server to replace google drive, a Valheim server, and a git server to host the code. I'm doing this with kubernetes on an old mini PC I picked up for 50 bucks on eBay. I plan to put more mini PCs in my friends' and family's homes to build a cloud for us with backups of everything stored in multiple locations. It'd be cool to pass it down to the next generation and have our family memories preserved in a medium we own completely.

Kinda like how they force you to learn about other religions and cultures in history class. It's confusing for the children

He's do it without hands or feet too and in an environment his species doesn't inhabit

This classic cum town bit comes to mind

This is my friend Fred. JP likes playing basketball and gardening. I met Morgan 5 years ago and JP has been my best friend ever since.

Armor and clothing in movies and shows with historical settings. I really appreciate when they get the details right and it can be really jarring when it's bad. The Northman is a good example of what vikings probably dressed like, which is basically the same as how all medieval people dressed. Simple wool and linen tunics and big cloaks fastened with broaches. No fur capes or leather armbands or cornrows, looking at you Vikings on the "history" channel.

I'm pretty sure I live in a city between you and Dearborn but I don't want to say the names and dox us. I just thought it was fun to piece together with the few clues and my familiarity with the area

I wonder if you could ssh into it. My charging port broke on my last phone and was able to pull all my files off of it via ssh

Dutch Sheets has to be the worst god damn name I've ever heard

America has been a meat grinder the whole time and never really represented any of the things we claim it did. All men were created equal but slavery and genocide were fine? If anything we're closer to that ideal now than we ever have been

I love the attention to detail in the armor. It looks straight from 15th century Germany (well, the area eventually known as Germany)

Especially when they censor the letters with shapes that resemble the letters. A vertical line covering an i is like blurring just the middle finger when someone flips the bird

Punctuation is the difference between helping your uncle, Jack, off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

And then everybody clapped
