I will go with 5, only because hoods always flop into my eyes just like that.

Do not carry grocery bags from your handlebars. I did that when I was a teenager and now I have bridgework where my upper front teeth once were.
The bagpipe and fiddle genes were purposely bred out of them because it’s annoying at 5:00 a.m… Now they just jump from the headboard onto your full bladder.
Number 2. I want to crawl back into that shell and sleep.

0·4 months agoFour teaspoons isn’t very much though. Most oils and fats are about 60 calories per teaspoon, which would only be about 240 to 260 for the amount listed on the jar.
Thankfully, Dyson doesn’t eat his at all. Our other cat does, but she’s slowing down in her old age.

I want Gregorian chants or Baroque mandolin music.
They’d be the best compromise for me. I usually drive short distances in the city, but maybe once or twice a year I want to do the 800km journey back to my home city in the next province. Train travel isn’t an option.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•The craziness of women's clothing sizes
0·4 months agoWhen that size system first started being used, size zero would have been for a newborn infant. Actually, size 0 didn’t even exist then.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•The craziness of women's clothing sizes
0·4 months agoThe size range of most adult women’s clothes was once referred to as “misses” sizes, as in “young misses”. So a size 12 (before vanity sizing existed) was actually intended to fit an average 12 year old and the size numbers referred to the approximate age of teen that could be usually be expected to wear it. There was no size 0 back then, misses clothing usually went from 12 up to 20, although the range sometimes started at 10. After that, a woman moved into “woman’s” sizing and the next number up was 40.
“Vanity” sizing started to appear in about the mid 80s and every manufacturer had their own idea of what a size 12 was supposed to be. This is when I first noticed that off the rack sizes no longer matched up with sewing pattern sizes.
Here’s an example of a sewing pattern size chart from the 1950s. All the pattern companies used standard sizing, with minor variations.

There’s a mineral called jasper that is often reddish brown, but it can also appear in a lot of other colours. So unlike malachite, ruby, or emerald, it’s not a great name for a colour.











The Med is usually pretty mild.
