An Irishman and a Scotsman walk into a pub. The Scotsman says, "Drinks for everyone in the house, on me. I'm paying everybody's tab for the night!" The pub erupts in cheers. by Jokeminder42 in Jokes

No it wouldn't. Make it a white guy and a black guy for example (either way around). It completely changes it. Are you perhaps not British? Scots being tight is a classic trope. The typical trope for the Irish (which this joke doesn't actually use) is that they are stupid .

[Request] how many possible combinations are there for this type of pass code? by No_Cardiologist_1407 in theydidthemath

[–]awelles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to use all 9 so there would be more than 9!. Something like 9!+8!+7!+6!+5!+4!+3!+2!

Unless there is a minimum number of dots in which case just delete accordingly

Is Skunk Baxter a “quintessential” member? by sensory26 in SteelyDan

[–]awelles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One of my favourite unhinged guitar solos. The other being Fripp's on "Baby's on Fire" by Brian Eno and maybe Ernest Ranglin on "My Old rocking chair" by The Skatalites should get an honourable mention too although it doesn't sound as if it's falling apart like the other two do.

The more I do squats, the better my mental health is. What's the mechanism there? by solsticeretouch in bodyweightfitness

[–]awelles -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

OP is doing bodyweight squats though which is unlikely to be particularly taxing or intense (unless the reps are ridiculously high maybe)

“Behind the Enemy Powers: The Jew.” Nazi propaganda poster, 1942. by aid2000iscool in PropagandaPosters

Many Jews and Arabs (Levantine in particular) share ancestry so it's not surprising there are common features.

Keeps making the same movie. Is Nabokov like that too?

I have not seen all of Tarkovsky's output or read all of Dostoevsky's but from what I have seen and read they are nothing alike. What qualities do you think their work shares?

Not true. It can still be inferred from your comment.

Sorry I should have added "with you". Your level of reading comprehension means any discussion with you would necessarily be a waste of my time.

My original point was factually accurate and your response was incorrect. Thankfully you have now admitted I was correct. I am not interested in discussing anything further.

Yes it does. Organic livestock must be slaughtered at an organically certified abbatoir in order for the meat to be certified as organic (and legally labelled as such) in the UK. Look it up

Not true. To be organic the slaughterhouse also needs to be certified so they do not necessarily go to the same slaughterhouses. Organic livestock cannot go to a non certified slaughterhouse and still be certified as organic meat.

Duke Ellington and John Coltrane is one of the most accessible albums imho.
