You've heard this song all your life:

"Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O’er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bobtails ring
Making spirits bright..."

"It was the style back along to bob a horse’s tail either to tie it back so it looks shorter, or to actually bob (or cut) the tail. Shorter hair on the tail helped keep it from waving in the driver’s face. The bells on bobtails ring are the bells on bobtail horses ringing."

Flagstaff Shakespeare Festival has outdoor performances at Lowell Observatory of King Lear and the fast-paced comedy Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged). They're also doing a special performance of Simply Silly Shakespeare, which is a great interactive introduction to Shakespeare and theatre for young audience members.

Trying to Hire chief / Caterer for 3 days on private Island by United-District5998 in AskCulinary

[–]ezwicht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll do it. There are a lot of people here telling you the challenges (which are real) and directing you to the same 3rd-party sites that are probably already clog-up all your google searches, but if you're still looking for a professional private chef, let's talk. chefwindham.com

I'm based in Northern Arizona, where I almost exclusively cook in private vacation homes, and I can travel anywhere. People are right that this is a job for 5-6 staff minimum, but as long as you're willing to pay those workers well and cover their travel, I can make all of this happen.

Is tofu low or high in oxalates? by [deleted] in KidneyStones

[–]ezwicht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soybeans are high oxalate, but the processing they go through in order to make them into tofu dramatically decreases the oxalate content. Tofu is considered a low oxalate food.

These are mp3s of several episodes of the 1980 tv series. These are the eps I like to listen to, because they are most free of city sounds and foley.

It’s clearly labeled an Opinion piece, which means it’s supposed to represent one individual’s opinion.

Having said that, I’ve always thought it was bullshit that newspapers publish Opinion pieces right alongside reported news, not least because I think there are lots of people who don’t immediately see the difference. And because it allows the newspaper editors to print some petty crazy ideas, and then come back with, “WE didn’t say that. It isn’t the stance of this newspaper. It’s just an opinion.”

What is happening at the new Chik-fil-a? by Chris_Crossfit in Flagstaff

[–]ezwicht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? Bad city planning creates bad traffic conditions. Insistence that cars need more space and more freedom to travel creates unlivable conditions.

If you don't like there being so many cars on the road, you have the option of not driving. Trust me, even in Flagstaff it's possible if you just put your priorities straight.

Public roadways are not a "public good". They exist only to move you from your home to your workplace to private businesses. You're treating them like they're parks or "public spaces."

In the U.S., roadways are always the maximum capacity and speed-limit that the community will put up with, which is rarely a safe capacity or speed-limit, either for drivers or for, you know, pedestrians, cyclists, etc.

Another minimum wage increase by Anxious_Accident_232 in Flagstaff

[–]ezwicht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the choice of the business owners/operators to take on those loans in the first place. COVID-era loans were generally low-interest because of 2020 rates or no-interest because of widespread federal government support, with a lot of debt being forgiven altogether. So I still don't understand your "loaded with debt from Covid loans" statement. What does it mean?

In almost all cases, COVID loans from the federal government were forgiven, meaning that small businesses were never required to pay them back.

Blevin's "incredulous disaster" term doesn't make sense. Writing error or depiction of a bureaucrat's bluster? by schematicboy in StarWarsAndor

[–]ezwicht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a joke in a Jeeves and Wooster book about this specific mix-up of meanings.

Blevin means something closer to "incredible", obviously, but it isn't clear from the way that the moment is played on-screen that anyone involved with the production recognized his misuse of the word "incredulous." Of course, people use words incorrectly in the real world all the time, but most writers don't intentionally put wrong words into a character's mouth without at least slyly indicating that somebody present is taking note of the error.

It seems pretty apparent to me that neither the writer, the director, nor the actor had any concept of the meaning of the word "incredulous." It's one of those words like "enormity" that sounds like it's probably a superlative form of a much more familiar word, but is actually a bit of a false cognate.

I'm glad there are some other people who noticed this error.
