anyway a spherical die couldnt be 1d∞, as physical reality would always mean it would rest in some orientations more than others, to a much higher likelihood than say 1d100

found some new metal album titles if anyone needs ideas Landscape of Thorns A mass of many irregularly-sized spikes protruding from the ground in all directions. Spike Field A series of extremely large spikes emerging from the ground at different angles. Spikes Bursting Through Grid A large square grid pattern across the site, through which large spikes protrude at various angles. Menacing Earthworks Large mounds of earth shaped like lightning bolts, emanating from the edges of a square site. The shapes would be strikingly visible from the air, or from artificial hills constructed around the site. Black Hole An enormous slab of basalt or black-dyed concrete, rendering the land uninhabitable and unfarmable. Rubble Landscape A large square-shaped pile of dynamited rock, which over time would still appear anomalous and give a sense of something having been destroyed. Forbidding Blocks A network of hundreds of house-sized stone blocks, dyed black and arranged in an irregular square grid, suggesting a network of "streets" which feel ominous and lead nowhere. The blocks are intended to make a large area entirely unsuitable for farming or other future use.

Alcohol is almost always in good supply at a hurricane party, but guests are advised to pace themselves since these parties are often multi-day events.[citation needed] Officials advise against drinking alcohol because people need to be alert during a disaster.[3] Party advocates encourage drinking as an anesthetic measure.[citation needed]

I remember reading once that a lot of people survived in the water after the titanic sank because their blood alcohol level was high enough that it kept them from freezing to death. idk enough about chemistry or biology to say whether that’s bullshit or not but it sounds cool

In the absence of ice nucleators, body fluids can remain liquid while in supercooled state. This process is being studied with the hope that mechanism present in arctic ground squirrels may provide a path for better preservation of human organs for transplant.[15] The connections between brain cells also wither away in this state. The damage should have resulted in death, but research on related species show that these connections regrow after waking up. In the warmer months, the squirrel is active during the day.

Lol at the idea of these squirrels being constantly supercritical, one tap away from suddenly freezing solid.

One of the paintings used as set dressing for the Littles' home [in Stuart Little] was Hungarian avant garde painter Róbert Berény's 1920s painting Sleeping Lady with Black Vase, which had long been considered lost. A set designer for the film had purchased the painting at an antiques store in Pasadena, California for $500 for use in the film, unaware of its significance. In 2009, art historian Gergely Barki, while watching Stuart Little on television with his daughter, noticed the painting, and after contacting the studios was able to track down its whereabouts.[7] In 2014, its owner sold the painting at an auction for €229,500.[8]

Barki met the set designer in a park in Washington, DC, and, after unscrewing the frame with a screwdriver borrowed from a hot dog vendor, was able to confirm the painting was genuine.[12][1]

The fangblenny does no cleaning, but bites the host fish and leaves. Its opioid-containing venom helps it escape, as it gives a pain-free bite which also dulls the host's reactions.

April 2010 – Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger informed the FBI that a large amount of child pornography was available on Wikimedia Commons. Sanger told Fox News: "I wasn't shocked that it was online, but I was shocked that it was on a Wikimedia Foundation site that purports to be a reference site."[155] Co-founder Jimmy Wales responded by claiming that a strong statement from the Wikimedia Foundation would be forthcoming.[156] In the weeks following Sanger's letter, Wales responded by unilaterally deleting a number of images which he personally deemed to be pornographic. Wales's unilateral actions led to an outcry from the Wikipedian community, which in turn prompted Wales to voluntarily relinquish some of his user privileges.[157]

The Bill is for the law that school buses must stop at railroad crossings, likely a reference to the Gilchrest Road, New York crossing accident. In the song, the Bill becomes a law; in reality, such a bill has never been approved by the United States Congress, and indeed, such a bill would be of debatable constitutionality.[2] However, an equivalent regulation was codified by the United States Department of Transportation at 49 CFR 392.10.

Originally chouchen was made of cider and honey. The historical reputation of chouchen as a powerful intoxicant arises partly from claims that its effects were boosted by the venom of bees that became mixed up in the brew. While this claim cannot be verified, bees and their venom are not ingredients of the modern product. But, since in ancient times, it was the entire honey comb that was dipped in the cider, it is very possible that a few bees or discarded stingers remained stuck in the mixture and, aided by the fermentation, would see the potency of their venom magnified[citation needed].

The tower contains a toilet used by the researchers and astronomers working in the tower and consisting of a seat almost at the top and a shaft leading down to the bottom floor built into the hollow core. This shaft has no way of emptying it nor any ventilation to the outside, making it arguably one of the world's largest and earliest septic tanks.

The scene of a naked Bart on his skateboard was Matt Groening's idea, who had always wanted to have Bart skateboarding naked, and Mike Scully had the idea of showing Bart's penis for two seconds. Storyboard artist Martin Archer was credited for devising the way to cover Bart's genitals with different things before they are exposed to the viewer. While the crew agreed that the gag would be funny, they wondered it if would mean an R-rating for the film, as they were happy with a PG-13 rating and that the gag was nonsexual and silly. They were ultimately able to get away with the joke because it wasn't live-action nor was it Homer's genitals.[11]

On a related note As a publicity stunt for the opening of The Simpsons Movie on 16 July 2007, a figure of Homer Simpson clad in y-front underpants and brandishing a doughnut was outlined in water-based biodegradable paint to the left of the Cerne Abbas Giant. This act displeased local neopagans, who pledged to perform rain magic to wash the figure away.[102][103] Updog Scully fucked around with this message at 18:04 on Dec 13, 2022 |
