Getting a laugh out of life

Not impossible, but in a setting where only one species seems to have human-analogous genders, another is potentially gynandromorphic, and to the third the concept is not applicable at all, it does make quite a bit of sense no matter ones opinion on the issue.

Demonic hell fire is still a better deal than having ICE attend :wink:

I mean, Rome basically is the inspiration for Cyrodiil, so that checks out…

Watching Olympics curling.

This is just an adult version of marbles.

I kinda like the idea of the medalist podiums becoming a three stooges routine as they all fumble to catch theirs and bonk heads.

All I know about Gaelic I learned from this film:

(Also, finding that clip again afflicted me with a short Moses illusion, because I typed Japanese Man Learns Welsh instead of Chinese Man Learns Gaelic at first, argh, but in my defense, I watched it as a student a hundred years ago…)

Oh, while we’re on the topic of the joy of hiphopping in your mother tongue in the 2000s:

(Romansh is an old language where Italian words and German pronunciation collided) :wink:

Don’t worry about misremembering, I was 100% certain the kind man speaking as Gaeilge to Yu Ming was Colm Meaney whenever I thought back to this short or told people about it :joy:

I always loved this short, it highlighted Dubliners ignorance to their own culture and also the underlying xenophobia most Irish people deny they have as a hangover from british rule. Ignorant to their own culture, and to others.

In some ways it’s gotten better, in other ways, it’s gotten worse.

It keeps dying and respawning. Must have gone AFK next to their ship on an extreme weather planet.

I once had a case where i was expecting a delivery, which was allegedly in a warehouse outside the big city. And every day at 5pm, it was updated to: “11am: we could not reach you at home” or so. (I was working from home a whole week in that time period.) I tried to contact them with no effect. The last entry, after three weeks or so, was, “recipient refused delivery” and they charged the money back… To this day I don’t know what the problem was. Did he misread the address? Was my package at the bottom of the truck, and each day, the driver was so overworked, that he never made his day’s trip, so he drove back every evening, and auto-closed the list as “tried and failed, customers fault”? Does that happen, it’s on the truck every day, and they can’t keep up?

The humidity is so low here. The temps keep creeping higher than normal and the wind is blowing and gusting badly every day.

The result? The hay bales in the surrounding pastures keep spontaneously combusting.

I understand hay that is too wet when baled, but these have been baled a long time. They are stored in the open, which makes no sense. Rain can get in and set up the same scenario but it has only rained heavily once in the last several months…

All that ice you had went somewhere when it melted, and a hay bale does look a lot like a sponge.
