I was updating Wikipedia and I stumbled upon this piece of news. Bob's Burgers production cut ties immediately with the actor, and now his character has a new voice.

I honestly thought he was named after the vacuum company because he sucks up stuff like a vacuum cleaner does.

The number was on a card in a selling wallet to show how a social security card could fit in it.

Also: probably the worse wikipedia page to accidentally send to the family group chat 👀

People in Georgia have been protesting everyday for over a year (406+ days) but for whatever reason it's not currently getting much media coverage likely because the media tends to not report on reoccurring protests.

No nuance and characters are saying the obvious stuff, because viewers are looking at another device while watching. We’re so cooked.

The encoding/decoding model of communication emerged in rough and general form in 1948 in Claude E. Shannon's "A Mathematical Theory of Communication," where it was part of a technical schema for designating the technological encoding of signals. Gradually, it was adapted by communications scholars, most notably Wilbur Schramm, in the 1950s, primarily to explain how mass communications could be effectively transmitted to a public, its meanings intact by the audience (i.e., decoders). -- Wilbur, Schramm (1954).

Early New Yorkers tossed garbage into the street or into one of the rivers. The city stunk. In the absence of organized waste disposal, pigs played an important role in reducing (and reusing and recycling) trash in the city.

Now my impression is anyone who is a victim of Russian propaganda can be called a vatnik despite the article saying the word is used mostly in Russia.

Following the reunification of Vietnam, The ethnic Hoa in South Vietnam suffered most from the socialist transformation. A major challenge for the government was how to regulate and control sensitive market activity, especially in Ho Chi Minh City, where Chinese-owned businesses dominated much of the commercial economy. Following Vietnam's break with China in 1978, some Vietnamese leaders evidently feared the potential for espionage activities within the Chinese business community. On the one hand, Chinese-owned concerns controlled trade in a number of goods and services, such as pharmaceuticals, fertilizer distribution, grain milling, and foreign-currency exchange, that were supposed to be state monopolies. On the other hand, savvy Chinese entrepreneurs provided excellent access to markets for Vietnamese exports through Hong Kong and Singapore. This access became increasingly important in the 1980s as a way of circumventing the boycott on trade with Vietnam imposed by a number of Asian and Western Nations. An announcement on 24 March outlawed all wholesale trade and large business activities, which forced around 30,000 businesses to close down overnight, followed up by another that banned all private trade. Further government policies forced former owners to become farmers in the NEZ or join the armed forces and fight at the Vietnam-Cambodia border and confiscated all old and foreign currencies, as well as any Vietnamese currency in excess of the US value of $250 for urban households and $150 by rural households.

Presented as a gift in 1848 to Thomas Francis Meagher from a small group of French women sympathetic to Irish nationalism,[3] it was intended to symbolise the inclusion and hoped-for union between Roman Catholics (symbolised by the green colour) and Protestants (symbolised by the orange colour).

For fleeing a group home in Madison where she was placed in March, the 23-year-old reportedly faces being returned to a psychiatric institution where she was sentenced after pleading guilty to repeatedly stabbing a middle school classmate in 2014 to delight the digital horror character Slender Man.

Ukraine began its involvement in the Iraq War on 5 June 2003, shortly after the 2003 invasion of Iraq. As part of the Multi-National Force – Iraq, they engaged in combat with Iraqi insurgents.

Prior to the Russo-Ukrainian War, Ukraine's involvement in the Iraq War was the largest military operation ever performed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Over 6,000 Ukrainians performed military service in Iraq and Kuwait during the war, including a permanent presence of 1,600, with more than 40 Ukrainians wounded and 18 killed in action.

This here is trichoderma ear rot in an organic field. This 100 day variety was chewed on by an earworm. The damaged kernals allowed trichderma to enter and infect the ear. This ear rot produces many toxins and is a big no for consumption.

I was reading how China had started to test unmanned trucks, and in researching found that Australia was already a decade ahead.

For so many years, I've struggled with a myriad of symptoms that have (at times) severely affected my quality of life: dizziness/fainting, fatigue (both physical and mental), shortness of breath, tension headaches, and lack of motivation. I have seen many doctors about these symptoms for many years, and I have been given a myriad of suggestions:

Today I learned about the existence of Glanzbilder in a post on [email protected]. I don’t think it’s ever been a thing in my country, but I might be wrong.

This might not be news to someone, but when I found out I was quite shocked by the news.

The Soviet system used psychiatry as a weapon by diagnosing political opponents as mentally ill in order to confine them as patients instead of trying them in court. Anyone who challenged the state such as dissidents, writers, would-be emigrants, religious believers, or human rights activists could be branded with fabricated disorders like sluggish schizophrenia. This turned normal political disagreement into supposed medical pathology and allowed the state to present dissent as insanity.

Mausolus (died 353/352 BCE) was a Persian satrap (governor), though virtually an independent ruler, of Caria, in southwestern Anatolia, from 377/376 to 353 BCE. He is best known from the name of his monumental tomb, the so-called Mausoleum—considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World—a word now used to designate any large and imposing burial structure.

I wonder if this pill would've made Dick larger or made him small.

The series was a hoax at the expense of its contestants, who were told they were being trained as cosmonauts at a Russian military base before undergoing a five-day trip into low Earth orbit. In reality, the entire series was filmed in Dore, and the contestants did not leave Earth.
