Yes. There's a character in the book named Helmholtz Watson.
I don't think Helmholtz is a first name in reality though, but I've seen worse.
I used to have a teacher named Dethleff Dethleffsen, so I suppose anything is possible.
I have seen the picture before, but it wasn't until now that I figured out the Helmholtz double entendre.
Helmholtz resonation is a way to enhance certain frequencies by blowing air into a cavity shaped to resonate with the desirable frequencies, named after German scientist Hermann von Helmholtz.
Helm means helmet in German. Holtz means wood in German (nice name: wooden helmet?) but in most other languages it resembles the word "hold" making this a helmet held Helmholtz resonator. Say it fast.
The purpose is literally described as both.
It's at the end of the article.
Intimidating people to work doesn't solve whatever is causing people not to work. It might very well be caused by similar strategies in the first place.
"Thanks in advance" has changed meaning.
It used to mean: "I appreciate your effort into this, no reply needed".
It now means :"Fuck you if you don't do this, and I expect this done without complaint."
All non-stock companies which is the majority of all companies. That's the problem. When a company applies for a stock market registration, it means that they're selling off control and profit sharing of the company in order to gain investments to expand.
All companies start with a single or two owners. The transition from owning everything to including others won't happen if it means giving up to the majority of control, whether that's 50% or 5/95%. That's why many companies get stuck on 51%. It only ever comes over 50% when someone dies or makes a mature decision of letting others control "their" company.
Well, those suggestions would destroy the stock market. Nobody would ever register their company on the stock market if it meant giving up 95% of the control.
Well, that's nice, but the self home test is like $2 in any grocery store where I live. Is it really necessary to make it a government thing?? Also, didn't someone make a phone app using audio AI that was as reliable or better than the home tests?
Fuck that, but also notice "Ukraine is not Ukraine anymore". This is a dangerous part of propaganda.
People will rage against the headline and who knows if he will eventually back track on that, but he already sold the underlying message without any serious risk of backlash.
And February 29 doesn't happen on years ending in 00 unless the year ends in 000.
That's not correct. Centuries are not leap years, unless they're divisible by 400 (not 1000). So, 2400 will be a leap year, but 3000 will not.
What the thing with Swedish lutefish in Ukraine? I've seen several videos of soldiers attempting to eat surströmning as a dare.
I have discussed the need for me to nap after work with my wife.. At first she didn't understand why I should skip the homely duties,.but after explaining my drinking habits just to stay awake, and her own schedule and habits looking the same, we have agreed that we all need a fucking nap. Just 40+ y/o things..
It's meta-ironic. Not that the post is irony, but his actions are.
What is the meaning of irony? a situation in which something which was intended to have a particular result has the opposite or a very different result
How do I best view tabs from pages like ultimate guitar and others on a phone browser, so that the chords and lyrics match up? I know on pc they usually show up fine in notepad or with ASCII fixed sys font, but I can't quite figure out how to set it up for easy browsing on an android phone. I tried copying it to other apps but none of them have a fixed width font.
How do you do it?
Found at Brodega skateboards (Denmark)
I'm not affiliated, just found it funny.
A local skatepark held an official opening inviting Rune Glifberg and Nicky Guerrero to do a demo. The weather was tricky, but in between rain they managed to pull off a few tricks in the deep end. I didn't get a good photo of Rune.

I am restoring an old chest and while removing a cover under the lid I found this label. As you can see, it's completely undecipherable except for "***halle & co." However there's another label underneath it. I wonder if I can separate them by putting it in water (like stamps off an envelope), but I'm afraid of destroying it if it has any value whatsoever.
The chest is made of wood and metal, but it's in a horrible state. Hinges and screws have been replaced prior to my owning, and the wood is damaged. I plan on restoring it, but would like to know it's history. Judging by materials and the label, I recon this is from 1900-1940s and American.
I'm trying to install Optifine on a Linux Mint Cinnamon laptop. Minecraft Java edition of course.
The game works and has been launched in version 1.20.1, but the Optifine installer keeps saying that I need run version 1.20.1 first.
Also, the installer is already pointing at the correct directory as default, but when I browse the location from the installer, I can't see or set the .minecraft directory manually.
What to do?
Full recap of the four day skateboarding event CPH Open 2023 by Flatspot Magazine.
My Formula 4s got flat spots, sounding like a moped when I ride the bowl. I'm looking for larger sizes from 56mm upwards. I need mostly for very smooth surfaces and high speed, but sometimes also rougher concrete. I don't have a need for ultra soft wheels.
