The bags you get are actually huge as. Yellow for the ones to use inside the store, blue for ones you can own.
But the reason I asked should be pretty clear, given the topic.
Sooo… never been to an Ikea either, I take it?
How is it surprising in any way?
“TIL that most grocery stores sell or even give you a packaging bag you can pack your shopping into.”
Ah, but “the clip” is prolly referring to basically the climax of the episode, if it’s the clip where the Doctor takes him to the Musée d’Orsay.
But you miss all the buildup of the episode, and personally I think Doctor Who is very good at it. They show Van Gogh’s desperation and loneliness in the episode. And then to have that sort of fantastical acceptance from the entire world.
There’s a lot of that sort of story in Doctor Who, I greatly recommend. As far as scifi goes, Dr Who is whimsical and emotional and doesn’t really care about tiny details of tech and lore as opposed to Star Trek which is like very methodical and logical and clinical.
In Doctor Who emotions are the hero in like at least half the stories. This wasn’t even one of them, just a random monster story basically.
Yeah reminder that Van Gogh didn’t sell but one of his own paintings during his lifetime for sure. Although he did sell a lot of other people’s paintings when he was 15 and worked in an art gallery.
I can’t find a specific clip but if people have seen Doctor Who Van Gogh episode, where he’s just treated like garbage and a shit painter.
I think on QI they also mentioned once he was just like a teacher in the UK at one point. There’s good jokes as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2o2TBmLARlA
It’s not exactly the same for some of those abandoned cash-grabs I guess, but the point is we can’t really know, so I definitely agree with you that we shouldn’t just delete them.
Sorry I write on mobile, rarely proofread and it was probably a massive brainfart because I changed to take that screenshot.
I read this in my replied and 100% thought you were being sarcastic about some other comment I’ve made.
My pleasure, languages are infinitely intriguing.
Like one similar difference you can consider is the differences between languages which use logographic script and language which use phonographic script.
Just like how English struggles with standards of how to pronounce weird names, Chinese would struggle to write it down. As in if I wrote book and all my characters have weird names which don’t mean anything but are just weird nouns…
Just like English (and other languages) has to sort of invent or agree on how to pronounce a thing (“gif” vs “jif” anyone?), logographic scripts have to agree how to write it.
I take your point, but… well there are certain things.
For one the vowels are fucked because of the great vowel change.
I’ve never really had an issue with spelling English words like “necessary” (one of the most misspelled words), “diarrhoea” or things like that, because my brain sort of stores them the way I used to read them in Finnish before I started thinking in English. Whereas I do sometimes have trouble when people spell words out, because even to this day, the fact that the vowels are essentially in cipher (the most simple cipher possible but still technically a cipher) causing my brain to sometimes brainfart.
I don’t have trouble writing things people are spelling out, but out of those two things that’s the one I more have trouble with.
When you take an English word like geography and look at the IPA guide for it, it doesn’t even resemble the word most times; geography = /dʒiˈɒɡɹəfi
Whereas Finnish words end up looking like themselves because the language is just said as it’s written. Which I think won’t make sense even as an idea to most English speakers lol, not having a thing called “pronunciation”.
hevonen (horse) = [ˈheʋonen], hernekeitto (pea soup) = [ˈherneˌkːei̯tːo], tule! (come) [ˈtuˌle]
As in if you take 3 native English speakers and 3 native Finnish speaker and give them all a list of, say, random words/names from other languages.
The English speakers will sort of try to guess the pronunciations based on their understanding of any given languages. Ie they’ll be more or less guesses, but maybe sometimes will be more or less correct. You’ll get 3 completely different pronunciations for each word.
The Finns on the other hand, will butcher every single pronunciation unless it happens to coincide with how Finnish reads things, but they’ll all butcher the names in the exact same way.
That’s a very anglocentric take on how things are things are “supposed” to be spelled.
As someone who was not born speaking English but now does, I maintain English is the weird one.
A healthy diet is a balanced one
That’s why you can’t say things like “x is healthier than y” when comparing something that isn’t like eating lead
I would definitely say Americans shouldn’t be peeling the pith away, but then I don’t really think anyone should.
What seeds?
But if I have subpar mandarins and there’s the occasional one i usually just swallow it with the juices.
Peels can be used for drinks.
Can we agree that it’s healthier to eat both?
As in not remove the pith? Yes, we agree.
As if it mattered where you were. You were trying to go “uhm, aktually”, but it’s incorrect info, so I corrected it.
For most people, the actual fruit is the healthier choice. Eating what is essentially pure fiber without even any nutrients (they’re all in the fruit itself mostly) wouldn’t really be the “more healthy” choice for anyone.
You’ve just heard a parent say “actually that’s the healthiest part” when you were a kid and didn’t like eating it, but it’s more folk wisdom because moms don’t like cleaning little bits of pith from the floor than anything that relies on actual nutritional science.
You’re welcome.
That’s rather simplistic.
If you need fiber and usually eat too many sugars, then yeah, maybe.
If on the other hand you’re malnourished and have scurvy, the actual fruit would be the “most healthy.”
I’m really not, and that’s why it’s hilarious. You know, if it weren’t so serious.
Too bad you guys don’t have better education.
This feels like having a boxing match with a 12-year old; really unsporting.
How many people do you know who’ve lost family/friends in the meatgrinder Putin is putting them into? And you’re too much of a coward to do anything about it, actually going out of your way to perpetuate the status quo.
Eww.
It’s spelt “belligerint”
