Well that was fascinating, thank you

Not, unfortunately

Those are the ones! It’s quite a distinctive word so must have stuck in my head!

Amazing, thank you for that. There’s so much that’s fascinating in linguistics!

Of course German has a word for it! I did some bee research a long while back and we used to stick a tiny bit of numbered card on bees to track them. That has a German word as well, something like opalithplatchen.

What kind of language has a separate word for a tiny bit of numbered card that you stick on a bee?

It’s one of the many ways I know that as a species we’re fucked

My old neighbour had one of those kebab shop bug zapper lights which she hung outside and ran all day and all night. I couldn’t sit out because the sound of insects being disassembled was too much for me to cope with.

For those of you in the US, the are a couple of funds which track politician’s holdings and invest/digest with them. NANC is the democrat tracking one and KRUZ is the republican tracking one.

This way, you too can stick your snout in the trough.

We have Neolithic attracts and Roman ruins, as well as a castle from somewhere around 1066, also now ruins.

The oldest recorded standing and still used building is from around 1290.

Finally answering the zen question of “what is the sound of one hand clapping?”

Women are you in the office tomorrow morning and I can do it for you and you can do it for me

What part of this don’t you understand? If two turbines is good, and three turbines is better, obviously five turbines would make us the best fucking wind platform that ever existed. Comprende? We didn’t claw our way to the top of the wind platform game by clinging to the two-turbine industry standard. We got here by taking chances. Well, five turbines is the biggest chance of all.

Wait, I thought if you googled Google it broke the internet?
