Looking it up, it’s fire committed colored blue from sulphur, not actually lava. Still looks really cool, though.

Left out of the headline (but in the first paragraph) is that one of the investment firms is owned by Jared Kushner, Trump’s SIL.

Love that they have halberds.

Not OP, but I used to always have to show up early so I could get good seats — why do the rows just feet from the screen even exist — but I guess now that selecting seats when you buy your ticket online is normalized, it isn’t usually necessary. Hadn’t considered before, though tbf I rarely go to the theater.

Hey now, maybe they’re one of the people on the beach across the water and someone else took this photo /j

They said they have to buy them if they want fresh tomatoes, not just in general. ie frozen isn’t fresh

Michigan and Ontario both have Bois Blanc Islands. Michigan’s is “Boys Blank” and Ontario’s is “Bob Low”.

Can’t forget Noordeloos, Vriesland, Overisel, Drenthe, and Borculo. Been to Borculo a few times. Lotsa folks with Dutch/Frisian/Low German surnames in the area, including the (in)famously wealthy Van Andel and De Vos families of Grand Rapids.

Supposedly, the phrase “if you ain’t Dutch, you ain’t much” used to be common here, but I’ve never heard it used unironically. Likely died off with time.

Most LatAm I’ve spoken to online (including Brazilians) insisted that it’s one continent and that North, Central, and South America are subcontinents. Several of them have ranted at me about how it’s immoral for the US to monopolize “American” because of it.

fwiw in the US I was taught that North and South America are two continents and that Central America and the Caribbean are subcontinents of NA; the Panama-Colombia border demarcates the continents.

Only other one that really ever gets brought up is Australia vs Oceania as a continent. Don’t think I ever heard of Oceania until after graduating.

Hell, I make my bolognese with cinnamon and nutmeg. Tastes great.

Almost certain that the person you’re replying to is saying that the article should say that it’s a war crime, not that it isn’t one because the article doesn’t say so.

Very late response, but I was thinking back to this and realized that, to be pedantic, yeah, female lycanthropes should actually be called wifwolves, or something to that effect; a woman becoming a werewolf would include turning into a man, if the root words are taken literally.

Kinda like how female automatons should technically be gynoids, not androids, because “andro-” means “male” in Greek, like “wer-” in English, but language doesn’t always evolve neatly like that.

The word itself is possibly a combination of sylvestris and nympha (forest and nymph), but they’re air spirits from Paracelsus’ 16th century works. Sylphs go along with undines, gnomes, and salamanders (water, earth, and fire spirits).

Some different kinds of nymphs are dryads (oak trees), oceanids (oceans), oreads (mountains), and plenty of others.

Not sure if logging in would “solve” it, but I’ve been unable to watch YouTube videos while on a VPN on desktop with FreeTube and on mobile with LibreTube for a month or so now.

Also, on FreeTube the recommended videos on the sidebar usually include a ton of unrelated news channels. I’ve got so many of them blocked now but they keep showing up.

fwiw FreeTube is a desktop client.

Considering how much more relevant the Jedi games are, that’s probably more likely, but my first thought was “oh shit, Worf’s got Bastilla’s lightsaber”, ha. Hers was also double-bladed and yellow.

fwiw I have — both the stereotypical “I’m 1/X native American” and also “I’m X% Dutch”, the latter due to folks taking pride in having Dutch heritage, real or imagined, where I grew up.

Many if not most religions historically didn’t have a word for their particular belief system; the scholarly name for Germanic paganism is “Germanic paganism” because pre-Christian Germans didn’t have a name for their shared beliefs. Sometimes you may see neologisms or names for neopagan movements applied to the now-dead religion — I’ve seen Germanic neopaganism (aka “Heathenry”)'s less commonly-used “Asatru” used for the original religion in a game. Same with others like “Kemetism”, which refers to the neopagan movement and not the ancient Egyptian religion.

Not a historical scholar but, to my understanding, for a lot of folks “what’s your religion” would have been a nonsensical question because that’s just how the world works and you wouldn’t think of it as being a belief system separate from physically evident reality. Folks are free to correct me on that.
