When I lived in the UK we just did British Christmas, so it was during winter. That said, my family was pretty limited in terms of Christmas engagement.

Yeah, rhymes with mouse and house. Usually said with a very strong accent, more on the extreme end, and often the vowel sound is quite extended, like grooooouuuuuuse.

Soz is sorry, not in a super serious way though. You wouldn’t use it for bereavement, but for leaving dishes in the sink it would be fine.

Grouse, as in “That’s grouse!” is a general exclamation and usually very positive. Much more common in our southern state of Victoria but can be found all over to a lesser degree.

Hey Mickey7,

Stonetoss is a Nazi propagandist. The fact that a single comic does not contain a clear Nazi propaganda idea does not mean it is reasonable to share it. Anything from that source is suspect and the source itself should be considered dodgy. If storm front had a great breakdown of a current event it would still be a Nazi website and should not be shared.

Yeah, honestly having kids around and watching them learn things like target audience and how to not blindly repeat stuff they hear is great, making it more fun and chaotic is awesome

Yeah, they would definitely repeat it at inopportune times, but what is life if not opportunities for comedy?

Naughty of nice is great too, and HYCYBH is amazing

Or dexamphetamine, the other primary stimulant for ADHD.

Tom Cardy, one of the best musical comedians of our age. He has many songs with extremely catchy lines that are actually funny while also being tolerable to hear many times over. There is a definite need for a language warning if you are not good with swearing, but his Lord of the Rings one is amazing.

Yep, and he had to also solve the problem of the week given everything they could figure out in the 7 days following it happening. A cool set of limitations for the writers, the execution was a little sloppy, but overall a cool idea.

I was expecting answers but got jokes, not disappointed, just enjoying the jokes.

As for asymptotes, many mathematical functions have a value they are going towards but never quite reach. One example would be to start with 1 and then halve it, then halve it, then halve it, and keep going forever. It will trend towards 0 but never ever reach it.

Another example of approaching 0 is y = 1/x which is a cool graph. There is a curve which starts just to the right of the Y axis at maximum Y value and comes almost straight down, curves out to 1,1 then shoots out along towards the X axis almost but never reaching it. The cool thing is it does the exact same in the lower left quadrant with the line coming from the negative X axis, passing -1,-1, the shooting down the Y axis.

Yep, and not to mention the position of our solar system in the Milky Way or our galaxy in the local cluster. In fact, without a specific reference frame you would have to make corrections very rapidly for even a tiny jump in time.

Handedness is not constant over the animal kingdom.

Kangaroos and wallabies tend to be left handed, though wallabies seem to be right handed for strength tasks. In dogs, horses, and cats females have been shown to be left handed, while males are right handed. All of these are tendencies and not at all strict, so specific inviduals may be left or right handed with no regard to their sex or species, but the trend is there.

The level of handedness that humans have is really white extreme compared to our closest cousins. Other primates are far less handed and one of the things that drives this may be tool use and associated teaching. If you are teaching someone how to do something and they have opposite handedness to you it is harder to teach, and also shared tools are easier to manage if they are not in two different versions.

The causes seem to be a mix of genetics, developmental cues, and maybe brain structure, though the exact amounts of each and whether there are other factors are unclear.
