  • That was the first word in my head: nope. There’s a whole lot of nope in this photo.

    “Yeah, just wheel the piano over against the far wall.”

    I’d be freaking out every time a kid jumped off a chair, or came down the stairs too fast. Strictly love -making. No fucking allowed.

    Darjeeling had this feeling in lots of places, but not this extreme.








  • Oh man, I think it’s the ‘e’ at the end of your name, which in a bunch of Romance languages would make it feminine. If it’s any consolation, solid men’s English names like ‘Lindsay’ and ‘Ashley’ are almost exclusively women’s names now for the same reason. (The “-y” or “-ie” marks a cutesy diminutive version, i.e. “bird” to “birdy”.)

    I don’t think it’s the similarity to “Imane” (unless this is happening in your home culture) because I have never heard of that name before. However, I have seen “Imran” and I would have assumed that “Imrane” was the feminine version because of that ‘e’.

    Wasn’t Imran Khan a famous cricketer?


  • This is an ancient, but relatively unheard of Japanese dueling style called ‘tugoware’, where the duelists fight left handed, whilst trying to yank a double-handled katana out of each other’s hands.

    Fuck, AI really doesn’t get weapons, does it? Amazing it can put together reasonable looking armour, but just can’t figure out a sword.

    … we should probably keep it that way. It’s going to be stunned when it tries fighting us.

    No. The Latin ending -ium designates that something comes from a place. Like, magnesium was originally found in Magnesia. Aluminia is not a place. It’s name is derived from the Latin word ‘alumen’ for aluminum oxide.

    This is what happens when you let people read the Bible in English.


  • Yes! First time I had hot pot was with a couple of exchange students. This was one of their dipping sauce ingredients. I’ve never been able to find it on my own. What’s it called? I’d take a shot at making it myself. Also, what’s the red stuff that goes in the sauce? I thought it was maybe fermented tofu. I’m pretty sure I’ve found that, but all of it has weird food coloring in it. I find I have to keep a lot of chemicals out of my food.
