They always omit the center in these things. "It's not universal injustice, it's just how the world works"

Platystemon posted:Bottom left easily the least bad yet again. That's because these (the ones that get posted here, anyway) are usually made by people on the bottom left. And also because the bottom left is actually the least bad. Anyway, that one reminded me of one of my favorites:  I know it's missing the standard joke, but given some of the people deeply involved in Qanon, "Everything is pedophilia except actual pedophilia, which is fine" probably works ok.

I assume it’s COVID‐related. What I want to know is how it compares to the D deficiency of the general population, with demographics weighted to match.

Golbez posted:That mine in Ytterby is really impressive, eight elements discovered in one place. I count 9 on the Wikipedia page. Only four are actually named after the place, though. yttrium (Y), erbium (Er), terbium (Tb), ytterbium (Yb) scandium (Sc) (scandinavia) holmium (Ho, named after Stockholm), thulium (Tm, named after Thule, a mythic analogue of Scandinavia), gadolinium (Gd, after the chemist Johan Gadolin) Hippie Hedgehog has a new favorite as of 11:02 on Jan 5, 2021 |

Hey, at the risk of seeming even more confused: the English wiki page indeed lists only those 8, but the Swedish one also lists Tantalum (named after the mythological figure Tantalus). It is also supposed to have been identified from a mineral sample from the same mine, and also (by the same chemist) in one from a place in Finland. Got the number from the Swedish page and forgot to check the count... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalum#cite_note-7

For that one, I'm imagining a two bully scientists playing keep away from the nerdy scientist who's frantically trying to grasp over his head to catch it as it's tossed back and forth.

EasilyConfused posted:You're my terminal bud. The 2005 film Air Bud: Terminal Bud, in which Buddy the sports-playing Golden Retriever dabbles in botany, was widely derided by critics and fans of the series. They believed the title to be deceptive: some believed Buddy would become an airplane pilot, while others believed Buddy would be dealing with stage 4 cancer. While Disney would follow up with 2007’s Air Bud: Bud Air and 2009’s Air Bud: Fourth Down exploring these very topics, the damage to the franchise was done, leading Disney to invest in a series of films about talking puppies that ignore the canon established by these films.

Also a TV series about puppies that attend a secret magical puppy university. The link between these seemingly disparate plots is the missing film Air Bud: Beagle Guardian, where Bud accidentally becomes a lawyer and the legal guardian of a pair of orphans
