Like how “algorithm” is just the westernized spelling of of al-Khwarizmi or “guy” comes from Guy Fawkes.
And Kaiser and Tsar both come from Julius Caesar.

So… The name Doppelbock comes from Bockbier which is derived from the town Einbeck where it originated. The town’s name likely comes from a dialect version of “ein Bach” (a brook).
The best feminine name would therefore be Doppel-<feminine noun meaning something like brook>. But alas there are very few feminine German words relating to bodies of water. Best I can come up with is Doppelquelle (Quelle means spring), but that sounds like sparkling water.




Lesbian relationships on TV and in other media are often portrayed with a male gaze and/or fetishising. Do you think that that might play a role in making you feel uncomfortable?
It’s very hard to tell from the outside what’s the cause of the way you’re feeling. But I guess the best thing you can do is to try to improve and to keep investigating your emotions.


Add bogs to that list. Worldwide, bogs store more CO2 than forests. Restoring them and making sure they don’t dry up (which also would release a lot of gases harmful to the climate) would be a good way to capture CO2.
I don’t have any numbers to compare it to other techniques though, sorry.


There really is no news story here other than a wild right-wing conspiracy theory.
There are tens of thousands candidates in this election with 17 known deaths among the candidates, 7 of which are AfD candidates. This might seem high at first glance, but since there is no central institution keeping track of this, there might be more deaths for the other parties that are just not known. Also, as others have pointed out, many AfD candidates are older men. One of the dead was 80, two others around 70.
I wish these conspiracy theories weren’t just casually echoed in headlines and social media.


He’s the son of Mette-Marit who comes from a lower working class family and Morten Borg, some random dude she had an affair with before meeting Haakon.


People also wore clothes made out of natural fibres which stink a lot less than artificial fibres. Let a slightly smelly woollen shirt air outside overnight and it’s as good as new the next day.
Also, undergarments with full body coverage were not just for modesty, they wicked away the sweat from the body and kept the outer garments clean for longer.


Yes, I can disable it. But I’m actually using the feature. Which probably contributes to the problem, because muscle memory makes me double press too fast.


You can also use a backslash instead of two spaces. For example, if your phone keyboard converts double space-presses to a period and you are too impatient to do them more slowly (definitely not me).
Just add a backslash\

Depression with loss of appetite is how I did it


Funnily enough, the word umbrella derives from the Latin word umbra, meaning shadow. An Umbrella was originally for protection against the sun. I know it now usually is used for the thing protecting you from rain (at least in English), I just thought it was funny that people did walk around with what they called an umbrella when it’s bright and sunny for a few hundred years.
I regularly do yoga and it has helped me several times when I had back pain from sitting too much. 20 minutes of yoga targeting the back and I was fine again.


Sexy iguanas.
Is there any other kind?


“Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down. That’s not my department,” says Wernher von Braun.


Ah thanks, I always wondered why I can see some images but not others.


You’re quitting early. That’s not even half the fun of predecimal British currency. There is so much more:
Edit: Well, that didn’t work. Let me see, if I can fix it.
Edit2: or maybe it did? I can see the image in the browser, just not in the app. Here is the link, in case someone else can’t see it: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a4/British_predecimal_currency.svg


Oooh, I never noticed that difference, just remembered there being a timestamp. TIL, thanks.
I know this is a lot more difficult than it sounds because attention is a finite resource, but giving each of them the attention they need. This does not have to be the same amount for each child but none of them should feel like the other one is getting attention when they need it.
Most adults I know that don’t get along with their siblings felt like they were neglected compared to the other sibling(s). Whether that’s objectively true is hard to tell but it’s worth checking in with your children from time to time.
