smdh stands for "shaking my drat head", and not, as I'd previously thought, " suck my dick, haters ".

I've almost never seen the abbreviation outside of yospos, so it took me a while to bother looking it up because my version almost always fits.

I blame being a really big fan of the movie "Fear of a Black Hat", where in one scene, the leader of the group uses the abbreviations FYM, and ASMD; "gently caress ya'll ma'fuckas", "and suck my dick", respectively.

Bernie Sanders is white.

I finally saw a picture of him on the Rachel Maddow blog. My only experience of him ( :canada: ) beforehand was quotes in D&D, so I thought he was black because he actually gives a poo poo about racial inequality, and the Right considers him an inciter of "race violence".

The same is true of the Sun and Jupiter - they both orbit (with respect to each other) a point above the surface of the sun.

Things I just realized.

Thomas Sangster, who plays Jojen Reed on Game of Thrones, also played the drummer kid in Love Actually. He looks exactly the same, so it shouldn't have been surprising, but I think I just didn't realize he was old enough to have played both roles.

On the same note, Pharrell Williams is 42. I always thought he was closer to 30 (and closer to 20 when he collaborated on Drop it Like It's Hot). Dude just doesn't age.

My personal favourite for this is Steve Buscemi in Surf Ninjas.

He was 32.

I'd guess that most of the US could identify "sneakers" as rubber-soled athletic shoes, but apparently the more accepted term outside of the Northeast (and, weirdly, southern Florida) is "tennis shoes".



Add Ontario to the sneakers crowd, along with running shoes/runners, because nobody plays tennis here (Milos Raonic excepted). :canada:

Transparent alumina is just sapphires and such, and we were definitely working on the engineered ceramics at the time, though we sure as hell weren't building whale tanks from them.

Actually, it's slightly different.

1.) This isn't sapphire/corundum (Aluminum oxide, which companies can't even use for phone screens still), this is the real deal; used in bullet proof glass (it's the same material mentioned in Jurassic World, in that lovely Jimmy Fallon bit).
