I dunno, for such things as necessary and uncontrollable as rain to ancient cultures, there is also the stress of 'what if it doesn't rain?'.

People (me) hate being helpless, especially during crises or crunch points, so giving people busy work to quiet their anxiety during this period is socially a necessary step. I recall being trained to do the same thing for emergencies: give people small discrete tasks to keep them occupied and out of the way.

I imagine certain tactics games could possibly count in this vein - you as the commander on the uplink give orders to the team what does the actual shooting.

Maybe my eyes are fucked, but it just looks like a purple hyperlink to me...

Bin Laden had a snuff film? I remember Saddam's, but not Bin Laden's.

How many decades of study does it take to come to the conclusion that 'Israel was right to detonate pager-bombs' and not deserve shit for it?

That is to say not every greybeard academic is immune to shit takes.

Everyone leaves. These lucky few leave wiser for the encounter.

Inner Mongolia is technically part of China, not the independent nation of Mongolia.

Not knowing the other arrest articles you clicked, it may be a byproduct of his alleged crime - pedophilia tends to be a popular "vigilante justice" kinda crime.

I was gonna ask why 7.7? Surely a more modern cartridge would work at least as well for cheaper.

Ok then, prepare for my hugs of mild discomfort. They will be a mite too tight, or at a vaguely inappropriate time, but never so much as to cause a stir.

These I give to you as an unkindness.

The world's biggest car is a VW? They're so little though! (I know how you meant it)

 

I like collecting guns for their novelties, rather than the complete set. I don't need four plastic fantastics from different manufacturers. This one is fun because it has an integrated suppressor, resulting in a yuge muzzle. Takes bog-standard Glock 17 magazines and has a dogshit trigger, but ai like it anyway.

It's common to the point of mootness, but: when describing the planet, Earth is a proper noun and should be capitalized. Otherwise you are referring to soil.

 

I sit down from cleaning out an office with a found magazine - was struck by how much is the same as it ever was.

 

I've recently come into possession of a large number of Mason jars. Being a fan of sauerkraut and knowing of Lemmy's significant German/Czech populatuon, I'd like to ask how you make the best sauerkraut. What do you add beyond salt and cabbage? How do you store it?

I suppose this may also apply to kimchi and other pickled foods, too!

 

After two(?) years of some hand me down slippers, I've finally got a new pair.

 

They released the magazine-fed levergun!

 

Jury's still out about being a real worm, though.
