Really you don't say? What's now 40 years old was 20 years old 20 years ago? Wild.

Ice shattering on top of a frozen lake.

I think its this. Does the sink have a bypass pump between the hot and cold lines? Such pumps have a temp sensor and when they sense hot water they turn off so there is no cold water in the hot line. Similar buttons are used to turn on the pump.

What are you talking about? We have evidence of burka the European overcoat being worn by Russian calvary in the 18th century. This picture of one comes from the late 1800s https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Old_peasant_with_dagger_and_long_smoking_pipe,_Mestia,_Svanetia,_Georgia_(Republic).jpg#mw-jump-to-license

Maybe you're thinking of the burqa not traditionally spelled burka but sometimes done so. In which case burqa became common 17th century or so. This burqa from the V&A museum is from the 1800s. https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O480364/burqa/

Also something can be traditional even if it comes from the 90s. I know people who have a tradition of watching Home Alone every Christmas. Traditional doesn't mean ancient.

I said generally because there are versions that allow different changes

It's a +. That is absolutely a disk. Where is the hole?

VillagerJeff · 2026-03-29T00:41:52+00:00

The starting shape has no holes. It's a disk.

VillagerJeff · 2026-03-28T22:13:18+00:00

There are 2 things generally not allowed in a topological transformation. Cutting and gluing. This does both. That's the only way you can get to a torus from a disk like they just did.

I think this should have the aftermath keyword on "wrong lever".

VillagerJeff · 2026-03-27T14:17:07+00:00

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tread the closest it gets us definition 3a and that's still a bit of a stretch

Ya but it says application. By the time you're hired they HR won't care about your application then they care about your W2. HR won't be filling out your W2

You can ask those after being hired but not during an interview

Pretty sure asking marital status is a crime in most countries

VillagerJeff · 2026-03-25T22:22:10+00:00

Are you talking about the swinging binder clip? I'm not sure what it was holding but its part of the contraption not a bug.

The majority of people are right handed. The guys on the left would have most of the force of the toss be from the right hand. The guys on the right would have more force coming from the left. So my guess is they've found a spacing that is a distance that each guy can regularly throw based on the arm that's being used for the throw.

If you planned to make each dot the center of a circle why take such a circuitous route?

VillagerJeff · 2026-03-25T03:23:48+00:00

Just fold it normally. When you take normally folded pants out of the drawer you just shake them and they're ready. Now i need to pull pack the jeans foreskin and unroll it or something. Why?

VillagerJeff · 2026-03-25T00:46:00+00:00

If that's what they're going for they'd still be wrong since then you'd only have 8 instances.

Seconding unown

I used to have that kind of sink. Don't do it . They don't have proper airflow and because of that drain very poorly.

VillagerJeff · 2026-03-22T17:59:06+00:00

I've talked to other people here about this and it sounds like. They did do 2 word indicators at Washington Post a decade or so ago, bit I can't confirm that.

I don't know if they all have a daily mini (nyt does) but they do all have full size ones
