Friday Ephemera
I’m not entirely sure what’s happening here. || Chickens, roosters and eye-catching cocks. || An unexpected detail. || At last, an endoscopic camera accessory for your phone. || The big freeze of ‘63. || How to make a kitchen knife out of pasta. || Russians paint a cargo plane. (h/t, Tony) || Parenting of note. || Penguin droppings seen from space. || Today’s word is irony. || Anamorphic sneakers. || An archive of scanned Heavy Metal magazines. || Snow thread. (h/t, Julia) || Luggage of note. || How to cast a 15-ton mirror for the Giant Magellan Telescope. || I don’t think those are jellyfish. || Comment seems unnecessary. || “The universe begins in 5… 4… 3… 2…” || Oh, don’t look like that, it’s the reduced sugar brand. || And finally, an elasticated demonstration of the Doppler effect.
This is how to deal with antifa and other varieties of leftist:

I’m sure the media will call them nazis.
…anybody who’s ever done any business knows that mutually beneficial trading is the norm.
What the Lefties cannot grasp is that wealth is created with every voluntarily exchange, where each party trades something he values less for something he values more. It’s never an “even” swap. Each party is always better off than before the exchange.
Is it just me or no matter how offensive a color is it can look pleasing if applied to a sufficiently large machine?
Not to burst anyone’s bubble, but that just appears to be a variant of standard zinc chromate aluminum (no superfluous i) primer.
With a final paint job:
aluminum (no superfluous i)
[ From the cellar, sounds of muffled shouting. ]
metal elements spelled with a final -ium – sodium, calcium, berylium, lithium, potassium, magnesium and every other one including aluminium. (meaning material that forms a cation that comes from Alum).
Metals that end in -um. Molybdenum. end.
“Americans appear to be isolated, viciously competitive, suspicious of one another and spiritually shallow…an age of decreasing trust and regard…”
Her ironic lack of self-awareness blinds her to the fact that leftism fosters viciousness, suspicion, distrust, disregard, and not just spiritual shallowness but actual degradation.
Observation: Leftists seek to institute and impose that which they claim to oppose.
What the Lefties cannot grasp is that wealth is created with every voluntarily exchange
There’s that word again, “voluntary”. The Left hates it.
I had anticipated that “X/X” would be problematic because Romans, the famously cishet white imperialist patriarchy (vs 1,2,3, which are called Arabic numerals and therefore have no such stigma bc brown people are amazing).
Fast-forward to 1:30 in the video linked by Jonathan, and the subtitle is Angry leftist screeching. When the courts come after these guys, they should insist the whole thing was a performance art piece, and use that for the title.
Hi Oik!
We have all of the above, including cornbread. If anyone needs the recipe, let me know. Here, it’s on the cornmeal box.
vs 1,2,3, which are called Arabic numerals…
…and more problematic cultural appropriation from brown bodies because cisheteropatriachalcolonial numerals really don’t look a thing (except 1 and 9) like Arabic.
Well, actually, they’re Hindu numerals.
Since it is haram to accuse Arabs of cultural appropriation (and since it was Persians responsible for introducing that numeral system into the Islamic world), we’ll just settle for claiming whitey double (even triple) appropriated said system.
Breunig’s conception of capitalism can only reflect a complete lack of experience with actual contemporary capitalists.
I’ve spent a lifetime in Silicon Valley among some of the most frenzied capitalists on the planet. Folks: Cooperation and Partnership are now, and always have been, the keys to success in this world.
eye-catching cocks …
… have their fans.
I’m sorry I got here late. I bring a bag of Smear – any takers?

… and the subtitle is Angry leftist screeching
There’s huge amount of insane leftist behavior in the full video, which youtube took down quite quickly. I think those Flemish guys did exactly the right thing, no violence, just carrying out their disruption using force of personality leaving once the deed was done.
9/10 from me.

Tantalum, Lanthanum, and of course we can get into things like Plumbum and Cuprum. Some peoples just like extra vowels, if you have ever been to Bosnia and seen the names of places like Brcko, it is obvious the whole fight was because one side was hoarding all the vowels, and it wasn’t the ones on the Srpska side.
One of my favorite artists was Zdsla Bksinski.
I’ve often called Welsh “the Bretonic Polish”.
The ore of aluminium is alumina, even in Britsh English. Hence aluminum is logical. And indeed we all get platinum from the Spanish platina.
Magnesium is named after Magnesia, which is why it logically has the i.
I use Aluminium because I am not American. But if you try to get into who is right, aluminum has the better case.

Soooo, Laurie Penny doesn’t like Dr. Peterson’s new book or Dr. Peterson either?
Gosh, what a shock…
What this tells me is that lefty politics makes you famous among lefties, but nobody actually wants to dip their hands in their pockets and pay for this stuff.
One of the tycoons on Dragon’s Den (I believe Shark Tank is the non-Canadian equivalent) is fond of saying “don’t listen to what people say, look at what they do”.
