Good morning friends. I assume you are all miserably back at work while I continue vacation.

@Jacobkosh as a person who bought a smaller drawing tablet for funsies because it was less expensive than a full size one, i will say in my experience it's kind of annoying having it so drastically different from the size of my monitor and makes it really hard to do finer detail, so it might be worth springing for a larger-sized one if something like that would annoy you to the point you'll stop using it at all
which may be what happened to me
Allegedly a voice of reason.

The popularisation of the teaching “manikin” was the understandable outgrowth of this mechanistic turn in medical technology. By mid-century, these machines were widely adopted by pedagogues to illustrate the geometry of the female pelvis and various birthing positions to eager students. These life-size representations were typically composed of leather, wood, wicker, wax, textiles, plaster, metal, and even human bone. An ivory miniature variant known as the “anatomical Venus” represented a pregnant women with dainty mobile limbs and removable parts resting on a plush pillow and presented in a richly decorated wooden or glass case. In this model, the infant was attached to its mother by a string posing as an umbilical cord. Miniatures were used for diagnostic purposes in Eastern and Western medical traditions, but also for teaching purposes, as is evidenced by a wax Venus for sale that was advertised to midwives by an H. Wessels in London.
Like their miniature counterparts, life-size models of pregnant women were accompanied by infant dolls. These models were described as “phantoms” “manikins,” “(doll-)machines,” “mock-women,” and “dummies.” The sheer number of designations highlights the ambiguity surrounding their construction, use, and relationship to real bodies. The French word “mannequin” derived from the Dutch term “little man” came into use around 1730. It designated an artist’s or tailor’s lay figure employed in textiles and its use in referring to these models underscores their doll- and toy-manufacturing origins. Terms like “automaton” and “machine” depicted the models as mechanical reconstitutions of living prototypes, while “doll-machine” matched the model’s manufacturing history with its mechanistic design. Finally, “phantom” and “mock-woman” revealed questions concerning the ontological and moral status of these models.
#1 was complaining about not having anything to read, so I went to my old bookshelf to see what he might like
decided he might be a bit young for RA Salvatore or The Hobbit, and probably a touch young for Lloyd Alexander Tarien (sp?) Chronicles since I remember those being mostly coming of age type reading
went with Martin the Warrior (Redwall Series) and A Spell for Chameleon (Xanth Series)
@Sir Landshark all redwall books are for youth of class and taste so this is a good choice
i demolished those books as a kid
but this reminded me, i was home this weekend and my mom wanted some help with deciding what things to get rid of in the basement
holy shit
i had so many books (thank you mom)
i read so many books
there were hundreds of books of all kinds and for all ages
damn
and now i barely can finish one book
i can't fathom that i read all those books but i definitely did read almost all of them
I don't understand GTA Online and I don't think I will understand RDR2 Online. Maybe with friends?
I'm hoping there is very little similar between the two onlines. RDR 1's online was kind of a barebones system, I'm intrigued what they'll do for RDR 2.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

But honestly not because dragging the debate into a new thread would be horrible.
which may be what happened to me
And his ladypal, Dixie Cousins
half my adult family members do not know the word horrid
I am in bed because I just got home from work and will be going back soon
horrid is not a kid's word that assertion is nonsense
Get him and take his vacation days for ourselves!
sounds like it has different connotations in british english
I was always a Lord Bowler fan.

Rip
I dunno, I have a really strong association of "horrid" with the "I want it now!" girl from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
I think it's probably a British thing, either way.
horrid is much too strong a word for the british emotional lexicon
british children are basically adults compared to americans
i just would not expect most kids to know the word
Inting so fucking hard right now
https://www.english.cam.ac.uk/research/ltm/?p=582 Well, that is amazingly creepy.
smh this self-hating [chat]er
They have little moustaches and everything
Isn't that soot from their jobs sweeping chimneys

Could be. I keep away to avoid cholera.
Lets find out!
