It’s other common name is the European Fat Dormouse.
I don’t see why the need to shame. Some of us like our dormice with some fat on them.

“Had a relationship with …”
Sex with a minor. Hmm … sex with a minor. I could swear we had a word for that.
I often cringe a bit at the rhetoric coming out of the men’s rights corner, but the gender bias around sex with minors in so consistent.
Is it? There are plenty of Jews and plenty of Muslims who are not involved in this and see it as wrong. Plus, that’s such a broad statement as to be meaningless. We could equally say government is the problem, but there aren’t many advocating for anarchy. Or people are the problem. I’d be more inclined to say tribalism is the problem, the very foundation of an “us” vs. “them” mentality. Sometimes assholes pick a fight and call it religious. There’s a strong case to be made that war has become much more brutal and far reaching since the Napoleonic wars and the rise of the nation-state. I mean, we can blame religion … that certainly erases the need to look within ourselves and ask why humans do this to each other.
It’s a bit like pretending Nazism was a German problem and pretending like the same dark forces don’t exist now and in many people everywhere.
There are definitely some religious dickheads, but there are dickheads of all stripes.
If religion is so vile, how do we hold in tension the fact that religious people are often behind the most charity towards the marginalised and disempowered? Atheists talk a good game, but rarely leave their armchairs to do anything positive. Religion can become a tribal marker, but it also is one of the main forces working against tribalism.
That’s kind of the point: there isn’t an authority on English. The closest we come is a bunch of English elites making up informal rules on grammar, spelling, and pronunciation and judging everyone else for not using their version. … And a bunch of try-hards who enforce their arbitrary and often nonsensical 'rules '.
If it parses, it rolls.
Mollusks and arthropods ruled the oceans at this time. The first land plants appeared on land.
I don’t understand how the distance to see ground in the tank is longer than those of the Dodge and Chevy, but the distance to see children is shorter.
Yes, the introduction of steel to sail boat construction allowed bullders to blow previous size constraints out of the water. They were considered big and ugly. IRC Windjammer was an insulting name because they didn’t look like elegant craft that rode the wind, but wind jammers.
These are not windjammers though, are they? They look like pretty vanilla, small sail boats (IDK sloops ketches, or yawls… (Wrong … Too many masts. They’re schooners.) Windjammer was a derogatory moniker for the sailing ships built after steel construction became common. Much much taller masts, wire rigging etc.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’d expect a much larger hull and 3 or 4 very tall masts, with something like four square sails per mast.
The Windjammers outcompeted steam vessels for many transoceanic trade routes because they don’t require the constant input of coal to operate.

Picture on that article depicts a ship with six square sails.
EDIT: looked at the picture again. I believe they are schooners.
Aren’t you worried you’re going to start attracting swingers with that thing in your window?
If you’re having an honest conversation here, the appeal to common sense is a fallacy.
You’re coming off pretty self-righteous and judgmental. If you’re wanting to change minds I doubt a accusatory stance is helpful.
I saw your spoiler, I still couldn’t figure out what was going on. Partly I was busy looking at her facial expressions, whereas to notice the puke you’ve got to be watching the bottom of her hand. Also, I’m not sure what the clip was like on desktop, but the narrative in the chat helps with interpreting the drama, and it’s just about illegible.
It would help if I could read the text! What happened?
EDIT: OK. <spoiler> I pieced together most of the chat. The blonde at the front covers her mouth like she’s shocked, but she’s hiding the fact that she’s puking in the hot tub. You can see it run down from under her hand. There’s a guy in chat calling her out for it, but she keeps trying to play it off. I assume buddy pulls up the video and confirms they’re all bathing in chunder broth, and everyone - except for the culprit - bails fast.</spoiler>
EDIT 2: I hope my spoiler tags worked.
Canned tuna fish.
IRC one of mushrooms’ main effects is to increase seratonin levels, so … Yeah, same basic thing.
No. That is not a member of the order of Hemiptera at all. It is an Orthopteran.
IMO it’s tennis for Boomers who can’t hack tennis anymore.
They used a drone to spy on the New Zealand women’s team. That violated fair play. The article mentions the coach (?) saying that drone use was not limited to the women’s team or soccer. I wonder what else will come out?
EDIT: I got a couple things wrong. Here’s the actual quote: The head of Canada soccer has acknowledged the drone use was not limited to the women’s team or to Paris.
Oh man, that’s too bad. I hate the corporate takeover of agriculture. I totally noticed the degradation in Island Farms dairy when Agropur took over.
Australia: punching way above its weight class.
…
It’s the Vegemite, I’m sure of it.
Never trust a Campbell.
