The_Other posted:No that's right, but Jack has the most romantic partners of the boys. First Shauna, then Mimi in Case of the Modern Men, and then (sort of) with Mildred in the last two stories. By contrast, while Linton has displayed interest in the fairer sex, especially with Little Claire in Case of the Missing Piece it's never really be reciprocated. Linton had some short term interest in Blossom, right? Like an hour or so?

PetraCore posted:So there's got to be, like, diabetic friendly milkshakes and stuff using sugar substitutes, right? Like as a diabetic you don't need to cut out everything sweet (and in fact need to have stuff to bring your blood sugar up when it's low), it's that you have to be a lot more aware of the composition of your food and how much literal sucrose you're eating, since the problem is your body has trouble storing and unpacking sugar with glucose and glycogen? Yeah, there are probably diabetic-friendly milkshakes and such, but they're generally not easily found. Also, some of the sugar free (using sugar substitutes) stuff doesn't get digested well and can give you the shits or farts. Ask me how I know. Sugar is a big problem, but easily available starches (potatoes, bread, grains like rice and wheat, pasta, etc) are a big problem too, they get converted over to complex sugars in your body during digestion, and that really throws your blood sugar out of whack.

From GoComics: "Bill Bettwy's Take It From The Tinkersons is a timely comic strip about the hopes and dreams of a modern family, working together to keep their heads above today's choppy economic waters. Ted and Tiff Tinkerson are a happily married couple with two children: A charmingly naive son, Tillman, and a moody tween daughter, Tweetie. And you can't leave out Tubby, their overweight but lovable dog."

"In 1921, Arthur D. Little, an MIT educated chemist, set out to prove that even the impossible can be accomplished with hard work and ingenuity. He followed these 7 steps to prove that it was, in fact, possible to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear: First, he observed the silkworm producing silk, noting that the liquid emitted from the head of the silkworm changed once it mixed with air, becoming in viscosity something like glue. Second, Little’s lab reduced 100 pounds of sow’s ears into 10 pounds of glue, which he then converted to gelatin by adding chrome alum and acetone. Third, he exuded the mixture through a perforated spinneret. Fourth, he soaked the brittle strands in a glycerin solution to soften them. Fifth, he dried and dyed the fibers. Sixth, he wove the cloth on a loom. Seventh and finally, from the resulting cloth, Little fashioned two silk purses, one of which is on display at the Smithsonian Institute."

nishi koichi posted:gays scarf has got me anxious as gently caress right now Yeah, it's a real issue with at least one fatality: Isadora Duncan: "On the night of September 14, 1927, in Nice, France, Duncan was a passenger in an Amilcar CGSS automobile owned by Benoît Falchetto [fr], a French-Italian mechanic. She wore a long, flowing, hand-painted silk scarf, created by the Russian-born artist Roman Chatov, a gift from her friend Mary Desti, the mother of American film director Preston Sturges. Desti, who saw Duncan off, had asked her to wear a cape in the open-air vehicle because of the cold weather, but she would only agree to wear the scarf.[52] As they departed, she reportedly said to Desti and some companions, "Adieu, mes amis. Je vais à la gloire !" ("Farewell, my friends. I go to glory!"); but according to the American novelist Glenway Wescott, Desti later told him that Duncan's actual parting words were, "Je vais à l'amour" ("I am off to love"). Desti considered this embarrassing, as it suggested that she and Falchetto were going to her hotel for a tryst.[53][54][55] Her silk scarf, draped around her neck, became entangled around the open-spoked wheels and rear axle, pulling her from the open car and breaking her neck.[1] Desti said she called out to warn Duncan about the scarf almost immediately after the car left. Desti brought Duncan to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.[52] As The New York Times noted in its obituary, Duncan "met a tragic death at Nice on the Riviera". "According to dispatches from Nice, Duncan was hurled in an extraordinary manner from an open automobile in which she was riding and instantly killed by the force of her fall to the stone pavement."[56] Other sources noted that she was almost decapitated by the sudden tightening of the scarf around her neck.[57] The accident gave rise to Gertrude Stein's mordant remark that "affectations can be dangerous".[58] At the time of her death, Duncan was a Soviet citizen. Her will was the first of a Soviet citizen's to undergo probate in the U.S.[59] "

I dunno if the writer got better, or if it's just that this one doesn't rely on a weird time travel gimmick (even though the time machine keeps getting mentioned). It just feels more Moominlike, I guess is the best way to put it. ART MUST CONTAIN TRUTH! ART MUST CONTAIN TRUTH!
