the equator is going to become a weird place, but the people who were always there will stay where they are, and exciting things will happen there

People are terrified of cold and snow for some reason so that makes me safe right?

“Great Britain is like a ghoul, searching the continents,” wrote Justus von Liebig, the German chemist who first identified the critical role of phosphorus in agriculture. “Already in her eagerness for bones, she has turned up the battlefields of Leipzig, of Waterloo, and of the Crimea; already from the catacombs of Sicily she has carried away the skeletons of many successive generations.”

Over the course of several weeks in 1669, a German alchemist named Hennig Brand boiled away 1,500 gallons of urine in hopes of finding the mythical philosopher’s stone. Instead, he ended up with a glowing white substance that he called phosphorus, meaning “light bearer.”

the year before i started with my current company, they setup their withholdings under a semi-monthly basis, when we're payed bi-weekly everyone owed two paychecks worth of withholding on their taxes and had to scramble to cover the unexpected payments

yeah as a wage earner i get a pre-filled form where i write stuff like 'do you own house/how much debt' if the taxation authority's guess is wrong, it's extremely easy the reduced interest rates might actually see me owe some back taxes now i think about it...

god drat wonder egg priority is the best anime i've seen since madoka. just incredible. unfortunately comes with like a million content warnings so i cant blanket recommend it to everyone but its just so loving good the premise is a girl fights to protect suicide victims from metaphorical representations of the trauma that led them to suicide, as well as bystanders that let it happen, in a magical realist dream world in order for a chance to possibly bring her best friend back who had committed suicide. also everything is gorgeously animated. for those interested content warnings are in no particular order: suicide obviously, bullying, physical abuse, cutting, eating disorders, sexual assault, sexual abuse of children, gender dysphoria, survivor's guilt . it can be a rough watch but it's definitely worth it for a really fascinating narrative Homura and Sickle fucked around with this message at 04:58 on Feb 10, 2021 |

It's pretty much Crunchyroll, Funimation (which now owns Crunchyroll, but they're not going to cut you a break on the price), and Netflix now as far as companies streaming the latest new anime. Hulu mirrors some of Funimation's stuff (but not all) and HBO Max mirrors some of Crunchyroll's stuff (but not all). Netflix has some stuff that isn't exclusive and some stuff that is, the exclusive stuff they tend to put in Netflix JailTM for a few months instead of streaming it nearly simultaneously with Japan. EDIT: Oh right I forgot HiDive which was formed out of the ashes of ADV but lol Sentai Assepoester fucked around with this message at 08:12 on Feb 10, 2021 |

The United States posted:Yeah but in terms of all you can eat monthly subs HiDive is $5, Funi is $6, Crunchy is $8, and Netflix is $9 (SD quality, but during these pandemic times you're not guaranteed HD Netflix streams anyway) - we're not exactly talking about the days when a subtitled VHS tape with 3 episodes was $30 USD. sony bought funimation a couple years ago and just bought crunchyroll from at&t

perepelki posted:ah yes....... a crunchy roll a crunchy roll is california roll sushi coated with panko bread crumbs to give it a crunchy texture when you bite into it. (a california roll is a sushi roll with the rice on the outside, usually with avocado and mayo.) it's a north american sushi dish, so that's why they named a north american dubbing company after it.
