I mean holy shit you’re right, the lack of patient consent is a much bigger issue than getting lazy writing the discussion.

This shape is a fractal made from the Mandelbrot set. I guess the joke is that the more you zoom in the edges the more detail there is, so doing them would be an impossibly infinite task. https://mander.xyz/post/8966692More info on the Mandelbrot set here.

Well that’s… unfortunate. I’d like to know how the fuck that got past editors, typesetters and peer reviewers. I hope this is some universally ignored low impact factor pay to print journal.

You could call it a colonial mindset. Wonder where that way have come from.

I mean it’s formula 1 - the answer to that and all other questions is money, lots of money. Makes it hard to love this sport.

Someone please tell me that shelving unit isn’t structural.

His and hers and theirs, apparently.

This is an excellent suggestion. Transforms it from massive cringe to pretty self-deprecatingly funny.

Thank you !

Thanks !

Where is this comic from? I’d love to find more by this artist. Googling came up with something from Soundcloud crediting Estefanía Irene, an artist who goes by @worry__lines, but I can’t find anything else from them.

Maybe they only made the one, shining, perfect comic and then stopped.

Yup - same in Australia

Same - I could never understand interdental brushes. How the hell was I supposed to get that between my teeth when even I waxed floss won’t fit? So I gave up and now use an electric toothbrush +waterpick when I can be arsed. My dentist is more than happy so I guess I’m doing ok.

Feijoada!

And here again we see the bizarre confusion between the Caduceus and the rod of Asclepius. The one with two snakes (and wings) is traditionally representative of commerce, representing Hermès/mercury. The one for medicine traditionally has the one snake and no wings - symbol of the Greek god Asclepius, the healer.

I see this a lot in representations from the USA - is that the case here ? If so, it seems rather sadly appropriate given the state of US-American healthcare.

I heard in the French commentary that gravel isn’t an option because the track is shared with moto GP and their regs call for a minimum of 5m of asphalt on those turns.

I guess we can here. I’m wondering if they can fix all of the track limits issues on the last two corners with some judiciously placed techpro walls. That way it’s a hard limit the F1 drivers can see easily like in street circuits, and it’s removable for the moto GP. Because I think we can all agree it’s apparently far too tempting for them at the moment to try and gain time on those corners, and it made following the race a nightmare.

I mean the mathematician might be right here. A lot of bathroom scales are for measuring people-sized weights and a (granted, normal-sized) bowel movement would likely not be measured accurately on its own.

If we go with the engineer’s method for an accurate poo-only measurement, we’re going to need in involve a set of kitchen scales somewhere. This adds a further complication : does this person shit in the kitchen or do we bring the kitchen scales into the bathroom.

I may be thinking too much about this.

Thanks for taking the time to help - still doesn’t seem to be working for me, and I can’t see a spoiler tag in your comment either.

Might be wefwef, might be my instance, might be my phone. In any case not a huge drama, I’ll just have to avoid any spoilery conversations.

Thanks for the list

Doesn’t seem to work, does wefwef not show formatting?
