The last two times I purchased men's socks off the shelf at a big box store, they looked like fishnets after I put them on. Perfectly normal looking, brand name crew socks.

It's agendas all the way down

What happened to all the turtles?

They’re victims of agenda

>Maybe the universe has some crazy repulsive force when atoms or subatomic particles get really really close (closer than in neutron stars, where atoms are femtometers apart).

The Celestial Ick

>Alan Partridge

Let's not forget that the Alan Partridge character was borne on Chris Morris' absolutely genius radio show "On The Hour", and made it onto tv on Morris' televised successor "The Day Today".

Which reminds me of the actual high water mark of British comedy, which was Chris Morris' third and final series "Brass Eye". He rustled too many feathers with that one.

It's a damn shame that those shows have been wiped from YouTube. For my money, Chris Morris is the most unappreciated creator of the 90s/00s, limey or not.

That Brass Eye they they had Phil Collins talking "nonce sense"... brilliance.

Chris Morris and Armando Iannucci are national treasures.

Don't forget "Jam" and "Nathan Barley"

You might not like it, but this is what peak bri'ish comedy looks like.

Or is peak British comedy Stuart Lee satirising that scene as a quaint village folk tradition? https://youtu.be/7J1J_iHC2Qw?si=kUy3aQvZ4p2PjLG8

Or maybe both?

I forget the exact quote, but:

We specifically made something called “Harry Potter” and beat it to absolute death to show you we pronounce the letter ‘T’ in the majority of our accents.

Here is peak Bri'ish philosophy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAh8HryVaeY

First time I saw that I thought it was the cleverest joke I'd ever seen - took me a while to realise it's philosophical origin.

Your common or garden philosopher will refer to the Ship of Theseus, or Theseus paradox, and those with a foot in the '90s will call it Trigger's Broom.

Those truly tuned in to popular culture will indeed refer to The Sugarbabes, a UK Girl Group who presented a similar situation when all their original members were replaced one by one. This is the superior reference because eventually all the original members returned, elevating the situation to new levels of paradox.

The round round baby round round paradox?

Peak ... or peep comedy ...

(Peep Show, I would argue is some of the best recent comedy from us)

It’s easily one of the best comedies I’ve seen. I’ve lost count of the amount of rewatches I’ve done. Absolute gold standard.

Birds, mostly

You can use a cheap desktop CNC machine to mill circuit boards.

How vivid are we talking, on a scale of 1 to Young Sheldon? https://youtu.be/od6Zq5T57R0?&t=26

>Failure of any of these steps [encoding, long-term etching, and recall of memory] causes amnesia. So, which steps are responsible for the erosion of baby memories?

>Who knows! Kids squirm around too much in MRI machines! But they start encoding things around a year, or maybe before, or maybe after!

I've been clickbaited

That is not an accurate summary. The article clearly discusses how they limited squirming enough to gather actual data.

A Very long time average, by the way. 8 minutes is a long time for a baby to stay at once: not squirming, not upset, not touching mother and awake.

You can find the answer in this link:

They presumably don’t have any extra information except what’s in the article which said they “often squirmed” rather than always, which means simply repeating the process enough gives times when they didn’t.

If you want technique: “infants were _ to reduce movement.”

If you missed what was in the blank you might want to reread to see what else you missed.

Haha, fair... there's definitely a bit of "science marches forward... sort of!" energy here

total clickbait, indeed, author makes no substantial claims of any sort.

Define 'magic'.
