11 is missing the hour hand in the miniatures.

Yes. There’s a character in the book named Helmholtz Watson.

I don’t think Helmholtz is a first name in reality though, but I’ve seen worse.

I used to have a teacher named Dethleff Dethleffsen, so I suppose anything is possible.

I have seen the picture before, but it wasn’t until now that I figured out the Helmholtz double entendre.

Helmholtz resonation is a way to enhance certain frequencies by blowing air into a cavity shaped to resonate with the desirable frequencies, named after German scientist Hermann von Helmholtz.

Helm means helmet in German. Holtz means wood in German (nice name: wooden helmet?) but in most other languages it resembles the word “hold” making this a helmet held Helmholtz resonator. Say it fast.

The purpose is literally described as both.

It’s at the end of the article.

Intimidating people to work doesn’t solve whatever is causing people not to work. It might very well be caused by similar strategies in the first place.

Okay, look at my contraception.

Uh, yeah?

“Thanks in advance” has changed meaning.

It used to mean: “I appreciate your effort into this, no reply needed”.

It now means :“Fuck you if you don’t do this, and I expect this done without complaint.”

All non-stock companies which is the majority of all companies. That’s the problem. When a company applies for a stock market registration, it means that they’re selling off control and profit sharing of the company in order to gain investments to expand.

All companies start with a single or two owners. The transition from owning everything to including others won’t happen if it means giving up to the majority of control, whether that’s 50% or 5/95%. That’s why many companies get stuck on 51%. It only ever comes over 50% when someone dies or makes a mature decision of letting others control “their” company.

Well, those suggestions would destroy the stock market. Nobody would ever register their company on the stock market if it meant giving up 95% of the control.

Fuck that, but also notice “Ukraine is not Ukraine anymore”. This is a dangerous part of propaganda.

People will rage against the headline and who knows if he will eventually back track on that, but he already sold the underlying message without any serious risk of backlash.

And February 29 doesn’t happen on years ending in 00 unless the year ends in 000.

That’s not correct. Centuries are not leap years, unless they’re divisible by 400 (not 1000). So, 2400 will be a leap year, but 3000 will not.

What the thing with Swedish lutefish in Ukraine? I’ve seen several videos of soldiers attempting to eat surströmning as a dare.

I have discussed the need for me to nap after work with my wife… At first she didn’t understand why I should skip the homely duties,.but after explaining my drinking habits just to stay awake, and her own schedule and habits looking the same, we have agreed that we all need a fucking nap. Just 40+ y/o things…

It’s meta-ironic. Not that the post is irony, but his actions are.

What is the meaning of irony? a situation in which something which was intended to have a particular result has the opposite or a very different result
