@jon-nyc said in I learned a new word today: It’s the word for “noise” in French and they pronounce it like you do Yeah, I knew that, and I've heard lots of carotid bruits. But, I've never heard it used as a verb like that, with a totally different meaning. Probably different etymologies.

@jon-nyc we were notified Oct 1 that’s it’s here. Only now got around to it.

@taiwan_girl said in Deep Fake: @Aqua-Letifer Was that a "staged" picture? I believe the photographer dragged that body from another field (and photo) so he could also take the above photo.

@Horace said in 'Do we really need to say...': Beautiful Asian women are always a spiritual compass. Unless they were hired to wear loud clothing and hack into mainframes.

That makes sense, without oil, we'll need more coal.

@Axtremus said in Bette Midler: Get out and vote!: Pfffttt ... are any of you people with uteri? What do you know? Yeah let's talk about this. I'm calling you out, Ax. What are your experiences with abortion? I'm going to guess you're talking completely out of your ass.

I think there is a definite benefit to being exposure to various dirt and germs, but this is taking it to a extreme!!!

@Mik said in Wisdom from Vonnegut: And, what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around.
