it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Idiom Origin
“pull yourself up by your bootstraps”
This was originally *sarcasm* & meant to convey that the act was impossible.
A boot strap is a loop used to help put your boot on.
This 1921 cartoon from the “Nonpartisan Leader” showcases that you can’t pull upward on your boots to levitate.

just have a scene where all the parts of him come back together like the iron giant as the theme swells, maybe one of his hands gooses a stewardess on bottom on the way there, bob's your uncle
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Right. Here's my big pitch:
Muppet James Bond
James Bond in…A Heart-Felt Goodbye
Dominic Cooper as Bond
Kermit M Frog
Mrs Moneypiggy
Beaker & Dr Bunsen HoneyQ
The agents of G.O.N.Z.O. want to kidnap the world's chickens. MI5 has a mole (Rizzo the Rat). An agent is undercover as a chef in Sweden.

can someone PLEASE tell me what number SCP this is because I cannot find it by googling
One of my favorite SCP's is an alien robot they'd found that had been damaged, it no longer has an interior monologue and instead shouts its thoughts at all times.
The robot is constantly planning and plotting on escaping and killing everyone but it's helplessly unable to shut the fuck up.

A biologist at the American Museum of Natural History, Jonathan Coddington, cataloged a new genus of South American spiders in 1986.
Two things about the spider were unique:
they lived in caves & laid cubic eggs.
So he called them genus 'Plato', and that's the nerdiest thing I have read all year.

Aww... look, she brought you some flowers!
Let's meet the American pika (Ochotona princeps).
The scientific name is from Mongolian 'ogotno' meaning "pika" & Latin princeps for 'first' or 'chief'.
They're lagomorphs, in the same taxonomic Order as rabbits & hares, but adapted to mountain environs.

15 percent of American homes lacked indoor plumbing in 1960.
The idea that everyone in 1955 America lived in a split-level suburban home with two cars and three kids and one income is, quite simply, a fantasy borne of media consumption.

A question for anyone who'd know (ag, fiber folks?):
Linen uses less water than cotton, correct?
And you'd harvest it not that differently than hay or straw?
So why is cotton preferred? Just historical precedent? Processing? Dye? Outdated perceptions of difficult care?
