Baron von Eevl posted:It's a little nuts how much colder the same latitude often is in the US versus Europe. Philadelphia is further south than Madrid, Barcelona, Rome, and Istanbul. I learned about this as a kid visiting some friends in France during the winter, at an even higher latitude than where we lived. It was generally comfortable outdoors weather over there, what I'd think of as pleasant fall weather. Getting on a plane after a few weeks of that and stepping off it hours later into classic Midwestern winter was quite the shock.

bawk posted:Windows has a Clipboard History if you press Windows + V, which has little subsections in Windows 11 for other things like symbols (foreign currencies and other special symbols) as well as Emojis, because of course there are.  For the clipboard history at least, it's been great to have on my phone but I was too dumb to look up whether Windows had it

I remember back when my folks got their first round of smartphones, my dad left that film on the screen to protect it, and tried to convince us to do so too. But the funny part was that the phone model we all got was made with gorilla glass back when tough screens weren't so common on cheaper models, its whole design was based on you being able to drop it off the roof or run over it without hurting it!

Friend posted:Don't know if this really counts but I was really surprised to learn that Patrick Swayze isn't a ghost yet in the famous pottery scene in Ghost. Never had seen the movie before but I always thought it was ghost-him trying to be close to her. Huh, weird. I haven't seen it and I absolutely thought the same thing. e: more  ?

Reminded me of some more Cleopatra FactsTM from a while ago that I found pretty entertaining. Captain Hygiene posted:I listened to a lecture series on ancient Egypt a bit ago and was entertained to find out how many Cleopatras there were. Cleopatras were just all over the place back then, up to and including including the famous Cleopatra's sister, Cleopatra. Unreal_One posted:This is disputed! Some think that Cleopatra's sister Cleopatra was actually her mother Cleopatra, who may or may not be the Cleopatra married to her predecessor. Also the fact that she was so unegyptian that she was very possibly a curly haired redhead.
