There will come a time when we, the SARS2 aware, get blamed for all the ill health. It will be “well if you knew, why didn’t you say anything?”. We tried, we really did, and we wore respirators all the time, you could see. Nearly 400,000 papers here: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/research/co…

John Milton coined ‘sensuous’ so that he wouldn't have to use ‘sensual.’ ‘Sensual’ usually describes gratification of the senses or physical appetites as an end in itself. ‘Sensuous,’ on the other hand, usually implies pleasing of the senses by art or similar means.

Who is inventing words like John Milton these days? He gave us pandemonium, sensuous AND complacency, truly a generational run

찬장 문에 기댄 찻잔 꺼내겠다고 이렇게까지 하는 일본 예능ㅋㅋㅋ☕️🇯🇵 문을 열면 쏟아질 것 같은 찻잔들. 이걸 안 깨뜨리고 꺼내려고 모형까지 만들어서 실험함ㅋㅋㅋ 처음엔 “이게 방송할 일이야?” 싶었는데 어느새 나도 어떻게 꺼낼지 진지하게 고민하고 있음😂 개인적으로 요즘 비슷한 출연진에 익숙한 레퍼토리가 반복되는 한국 예능보다, 이런 엉뚱한 문제 하나에 끝까지 몰입하는 일본 예능이 더 재밌어 보임🙄 거창한 설정 없이도 찻잔 몇 개로 사람을 이렇게 집중시키네ㅋㅋㅋ

■医学論文にも登場した、パン袋の留め具を分類する人々 パンの袋の留め具に、学名や解剖図、系統樹を作っている「HORG」という団体が存在します。1994年に友人宅の床板の隙間で見つけた一つの留め具から始まったこの奇妙な収集と分類は、後に本物の医学論文にも登場することになります。（続く）

Learning to use a computer at 82 and spending seven years on a 6,000 word dictionary, that is incredible dedication. So glad her recordings mean younger generations can still learn Wukchumni.

Marie Wilcox realized she was the last person on Earth who could speak the Wukchumni anguage fluently, so at 82, she taught herself to use a computer and spent seven years typing a 6,000 word Wukchumni dictionary, the first written record of the language in history, to save it from extinction.

The weather may be wild, but nature definitely knows how to put on a show. The waterfalls are even more powerful, the water rushing with incredible force and the sound is simply something else. 📍Hawes, Yorkshire Dales – at Hawes, England

The fact that the Ghosts movie is the number one movie in the UK is probably the most cheering and reassuring news I've heard about the UK in some time. We're gonna be OK, folks! 👻

#Ootd is this sweet 1775-1785 gown. @colonialwmsburg notes it uses fabric 1725-30 and may have been worn with a stomacher. It was then remade so it had a front closure and the back may have also been altered from a sack back to make it a robe a l'angalise. #Fashionhistory

🇬🇧 In 18th-century London, dictionary-maker Samuel Johnson adored his cat Hodge. He personally bought oysters for him, rather than send his servants. Today, a bronze statue of Hodge sits on a dictionary beside oyster shells outside Johnson’s former home in Gough Square.

The contract has gone to the firm that picked up baby boxes, initially (first 4 years) with no competitive tendering: it already had a big call-off contract with SG for printing and more loosely-defined other stuff.

Worth reading. You may recall the video of the doc on his way to work in A&E each day gradually getting sicker. Hospital full of covid & flu. No testing, no interest in what he or anyone had. No understanding of infectious period. He used Copyright to get his video removed. 1/

The Selfish NHS doctor DISABLED my post that quoted, clipped and LINKED his YouTube video. He said it’s a SHAME we don’t get better PPE, he'd TRY to get his own, and made his video PRIVATE! I cut Tuesday out but others may have been EXPOSED while queueing in the Post Office. 💔
