Some old bollards and mooring posts, mostly in London, are old cannons, just to be pedantic! You can find them if you know what to look for, but London alone has 60,000+ streets and it’s not like no new bollards have been installed since the Napoleonic wars.

Here’s an image from Living London History’s Facebook page for the curious:

Today’s lucky 10,000.

Hah, I figured the second sentence was as parodically on-the-nose as I could manage without a satire indicator.

Hah, I guess my sarcasm got missed on this comment! The premise that fish can’t feel pain because we don’t know for a certainty that they can is blatantly just mental gymnastics to justify the continued practice of a cruel hobby.

So long as you release them after a few minutes, they feel no pain whatsoever. Not even the hook through their mouth or gills.

And skins, tanned, stitched, and treated with resin. Pottery is also an ancient skill.

Roquefort-sur-Soulzon would have taken its name from a fortress, too, so that counts.

Just for clarity: la migra is “Immigration” in the sense of ICE or other similar border authorities.

That’s against a population of ~144 million, so with overlap:

• 0.70% of the population (1 in 143 people) have been killed or wounded
• 0.31% of the population (1 in 323 people) are permanent combat losses
• 0.17% (1 in 588 people) have been killed or are missing

Insufficient data!

Was the bench around a corner or jutting out? Was the boy part of a crowd that obscured the bench? Is the bench somehow camouflaged? Is it static and stationary?

Is the boy fully sighted? Is it dark? Did someone distract him? Was he panicked by someone? Could he have deliberately run into it?

There’s meant to be an internal rhyme there, as in “take one down and pass it around”. I suggest “tinker a bit, push a commit”.

Also, “programming code”? I’d go with “legacy app” or “code monolith” or something.

And let’s also change “92” and “99” to be make the refactor comprehensive.

I can personally vouch for this.

He was 30 minutes’ walk from the prison? I guess the net closed very quickly?

1990s experimental ecological project Biosphere 2

I’ve never read about this! It cost $200 million and was a failure - the soil microbes used much more oxygen than expected and the resulting carbon dioxide reacted with the concrete walls to make calcium carbonate, so neither the human “crew” nor the plants had enough to breathe.

Not totally sure of the relevance, but you’re thinking of K.C. & The Sunshine Band’s 1975 That’s the Way (I Like It).

Tell the iPhone that the output isn’t headphones and it’ll stop warning you. Plug it in, then head to Settings -> Sound and Haptics -> Headphone Safety -> USB Audio Accessories.

Quick reminder that if we’re hearing it from Bannon, there’s an agenda being pushed, and it’ll be in Trump’s best interests. Nice to hear about infighting, though.
