Maybe it’s dumb, maybe it’s something everyone else already knew, or maybe it’s something extremely technical that only you and your colleagues will understand.
Today I learned
The difference between a cemetery and a graveyard.
Cemeteries are attached to churches. I had always thought the words were interchangeable.
Your turn!

Does he wear a bow tie?
I will learn in the next few days if the fix was a worn out valve or if there's a hole in the tank.
i'm not sure if there are bow ties in the Forgotten Realms, but there ought to be.

Steam: Chagrin LoL: Bonhomie
First thing that popped in my head was the centrifuge(?) scene from The Pest and now I can't stop laughing.
One dollar sign my ass
Graveyards are the attached one. Cemeteries don't require a church.
Now you learned two things!
Steam
I do everything backwards. To keep people on their toes
The Isabelle one threw me.

Tomorrow i hope to learn that I can successfully replace that stuff.
i learned from the comments that when you're releasing a larger fish into the water, doing the fish-swish maneuver helps dislodge air bubbles in the gills and get water flowing through them again

Yeah that one dawned on me as I was making a shitpost about what the plural of tanuki is and started saying my dumb variations out loud and one sounded like “Tom nook”
I swore so loud at home
roma maffia: not actually italian
The most recent standards update, which came around in large part because people kept asking for standards for cloud computing, there was - after way too many damn words - a single paragraph saying "We know people have been asking for this, we'll examine it at a later time, I guess keep expensing it for now".
-_-
And then when I picked my youngest daughter up from school I finally learned how they inform the parents of kids who bite and scratch that their kids bite and scratch (……)
the kitten petting factory???
Honestly pretty easy. That slit is called a "kerf" and you can pull the stuff that's in there right out (hopefully in as few pieces as possible, weather can cause it to crumble as the stuff loses elasticity).
Kerf mounted weather strip has a flange with rubber channels that compress into the kerf and hold it in place without fasteners.
I also learned that I'm fairly fucked tomorrow.
I may have already known these things.
Edit - I actually did learn something new. It costs $70;for a new driver's license in Oregon.
Tomorrow I expect I will learn a few more.
Oh fuck if only.
EDIT: Working for the county as a "Customer Information Specialist" basically telling people how to use transit which I have done for free at bus stops all over the city already for free. My favorite so far was when I was getting coffee and a dude walked up and asked how to get to Pine street and i gestures west and said "well you got that way" and then gestured east and said "or go that way" because we were on Pine street. I am very helpful.
The symbol of Gemini is the Twins
Taurus is the Bull
Cancer is the Crab
Libra is the Scales
The thing I learned today:
The symbol of Virgo is the Virgin
That's dumb! Astrology is dumb!
I have proof!!
I just…can’t show you
...it's also awful because it's open-source software documented by the kind of people who make open-source software. So I've been trying to find out what somebody on a forum post a few years ago meant by "profile curves" then later this year "control curves with profiles assigned." There are no "control curves" in Blender. You can create Bezier, NURBS and Path curves which are a type of NURBS curve. What they meant to say is that they use the Profile bevel in the Geometry section of the Data tab of a curve's outliner window. It pops open a little line graph you can tweak after giving the curve some depth to bevel out a shape to whatever tube thing you're making. The thing that actually cracked this code for me is a video of somebody making an abstract deer.
...which has nothing to do with making hair like I was trying to.
So basically learning things is a frustrating and borderline pointless experience. I don't recommend it. I would say know things if you can do that instead. Seems like it's a lot easier to be productive when you don't have to pick through a bunch of antisocial nerds with poor communication skills trying to describe a deeply complex piece of software mostly using terms from other software.
Scorpio!
The double decker taco never left! You can order one and they ring up a regular taco and add beans and a tortilla for an upcharge
