Lenticular Clouds

Altocumulus Lenticular clouds are stationary clouds that form mostly in the troposphere, typically in parallel alignment to the wind direction. They are often comparable in appearance to a lens or saucer. Nacreous clouds that form in the lower stratosphere sometimes have lenticular shapes.

I'm really tired and out of it

Turned out i was dehydrated

College will acquaint you so thoroughly to the reality that your body has needs that, if unmet, will make you feel like Death For A Thousand Years In The Abyss, a fate so disproportionate to the simplicity of drinking An Water or eating A Food or perhaps indulging in A Sleep or Washing Off The Gunk, that you are constantly humbled by the pure silliness of being made of mortal flesh

RELEASE THE RACCOONS

this is a life saving advice

It really is! But then college also acquaints you with anxiety, so that sometime drinking a glass of water or eating or sleeping are just - god damn near impossible.

In such cases, I use this website called youfeellikeshit.com. It's made out of a series of questions/tasks that helps you navigate anxiety and alleviate various discomforts (dehydration, hunger, but also noise, clothes/body warm, mental struggles...). I've found it particularly effective, and I've even thought of drinking and eating on my own the last time my anxiety was through the roof.

This may be a spicy take, but if you're so crippled with anxiety that you're not capable of drinking water unprompted, you shouldn't be living on your own, unsupervised by a minder.

Apartment-hunting and the guy asked if I had questions.

Buddy, you done fucked up.

(Also asked about the prevalence of smoking and other things of that nature)

Apartments are the worst and I hate them so much. I'll be the most relentlessly anal retentive tenant they've ever had. If I'm perfect then they damn well better be, too.

What did I miss asking about, though? These are head-topper questions.

I don't know about questions to ask, but you really need to crawl under the sinks (all of them) in whatever unit you're looking at, and take a good look for water damage. Most maintenance work at apartment complexes consists of painting over the damn problem and pretending it doesn't exist. If you don't document the problem before you move in, they're likely to insist that you caused it.

I love the term “loanwords” because it implies that you intend to give them back.

*dumps a box full of words on French’s front porch* You never came back for your shit.

Loanwords, loaned to the British Museum so

Would everyone like to know the best thing??? There are two types of borrowed word - loan words and calques. Loan words are words taken directly from the language i.e. tattoo, sushi, guillotine. Calques are words literally translated from the language before being borrowed i.e. beer garden, scapegoat, killer whale (incorrectly calqued, the original actually means whale killer which is a whole other post).

Did anyone notice the fun thing?

Loan word is a calque (German lehnwort lit. Loan+word) and calque is a loan word (French calque - tracing or imitation). Have a good day!

When wandering in the desert and you gotta shit, do you bury the shit and toilet paper, bury the shit and pack out the toilet paper, pack out the shit and toilet paper?

Your stil suit takes care of it

For those of us not equipped with Fremen-tech, you dug a hole (~10 inches deep) and bury everything.

The people who say that they pack out everything are either gross or lying.

Why y'all in the desert without a stil suit?

Bad decisions and a compulsive urge to squander water.

Did this quick doodle a few days ago, used it as value practice! :D

Ah yes, the wings that I totally intended to draw, creating a symbolic representation of toothless giving hiccup his own wings that totally didn’t happen by accident, and I definitely didn’t realize it because of these tags…
