if any of you are still in college I highly encourage you to take a class on the history of the French Revolution and its causes it's a super interesting time period

Or just listen to Mike Duncan's Revolutions podcast, the third section is about the French Revolution and it's like 60 parts long. There's a good one about Haiti, too. If you went through American schools I'd probably skip the one on the AR because there wasn't a whole lot of new stuff in there that wasn't drilled over and over in k-12.

have definitely worked for a project that frequented air travel across the states and we had multiple people on watchlists that were almost always delayed at airports and it was almost exclusively due to them just having similar names to other people

This is actually due to something in Obamacare. The shitdems basically agreed to keep the country's medical expenditure under a certain limit arbitrarily and the only place to cut is in disbursements, so now doctors hate Medicare/Medicaid patients

I thought that provision was about capping admin fees in favor of medical disbursements, I think its called the medical loss ratio or something

hello. Join me on this stroll through Dutch-language wiktionary, won't you? :)

When it's early in the morning and you're watching a clip of an Afrikaans documentary about chameleon conversancy in South Africa, and the Afrikaans narration leads you to look up what's going on with the word "man" in that language:


*clicks*

We scroll for a while, past a bunch of tables, translations, hypernyms and hyponyms... Then: Derived Terms


"hmm.. hm... yes, one man sho.....— muchmanneries? *click*


"veelmannerij" is the original Dutch, but Google Translate is helping out as best it can

"Is this really gonna mean 'a place of much men' or something???" -you, irl, perhaps, if you are like me


Turns out: a lot + man + an article (ne) + a row or line

"Ok, those are its constituent parts, but...?"



omg that is the best word
