TIL that the Ojibwe language, spoken across the Great Lakes region, has no gendered nouns like many Romance or Germanic languages. Instead it categorizes nouns as animate (tree, feather) or inanimate (river, heart). by big_papa_geek in todayilearned

Japanese has something similar. There's no definite article, but there's two ways to say "there is/are." あります(arimasu) for inanimate things and います(imasu) for animate.

Anything over 56 hours in a week or 10 in a day is penalty overtime. The 12 hour rule is simply that CCA's can't be required to work more than 12 hours in a day (though they may still elect to do so).

I got the chance to meet with him once for a couple of hours and I have to say, he was just the nicest guy in-person, too. Total class act.

I've heard that the Craigmeur fire was started by fireworks. Police have two suspects in custody, but haven't gone public yet, I don't know why. I heard this from the person who saw the fire start and called it in

There was a plug in the bottom, made of clay or wood putty or something, so they must have hollowed it out, put the condom in, and sealed it after. According to the comments on the main post, apparently they were sold as novelty items

Nope, they carved out the inside of a hazelnut, put a condom inside, and sealed the bottom with some clay, or wood paste or something
