    I agree. In my opinion it fits "weird layout", second bulletpoint in the sidebar.

    It's divided into apartments. The pictures in the listing are from the apartment for sale on the first floor. The ground floor seems to be just entrance and staircase.

  • Does the TierMaker Community Tier List actually reflect the opinions of the Discworld community?

    One day I will get to them :) (and probably wished I did so sooner)

    Just wanted to comment, cause this community is a bit quiet. But man, I really hate tier lists. Just enjoy what you enjoy.
    Like, Unseen Academicals and The Last Hero are some of my favourites.
    I haven't read the Tiffany Aching books. Just cause I don't read much YA stuff. Maybe one day... In many discworld groups people really seem to enjoy them. And I've heard they are great for younger readers too.

    https://blogs.iu.edu/sciu/2023/05/06/the-longest-sperm-on-earth/

    Apparently the female seminal receptacle is also very long. In fact, the increasing length of this receptacle is one of the explanations for the extreme sperm length.

    Drosophila females have evolved to fertilize their eggs with particularly long sperm. Only large, healthy males are able to produce large quantities of gigantic sperm, and if a female reproduces with healthy males, her offspring will have genes that make them healthy, too.

    Same. I have zero fashion sense and it shows. Doesn't mean I can't appreciate something nice. But always scared if I compliment someone, that it will do more harm than good.
    Thanks for sharing, somehow reassuring to know I'm not alone.

    This shit gets me all the time.. '97 is 27 years ago. 27. Checks math, yes.. 27. Surely not? Feels like it's 10 years or so. Checks math.. no, 27.

  • 24 hours(!) of cross stitch on Errol the swamp dragon
  • abouttocomealive abouttocomealive Now 100%

    Errol! You better hide anything edible, or actually anything non-edible too, when that one is finished :)

    Couldn't quickly find the perfect quote, but have this lovely one instead:

    Where do you think they've gone?' he said. 'Where what?' said Lady Ramkin, temporarily halted.
    'The dragons. You know. Errol and his wi - female.'
    'Oh, somewhere isolated and rocky, I should imagine,' said Lady Ramkin. 'Favourite country for dragons.'
    'But it - she's a magical animal,' said Vimes. 'What'll happen when the magic goes away?'
    Lady Ramkin gave him a shy smile.
    'Most people seem to manage,' she said.
    She reached across the table and touched his hand.

  • In The Eagles song "Take It Easy" the first verse states he has 7 women on his mind, later he is admiring a girl in Winslow, Arizona...maybe another girl isn't what this guy needs.
  • abouttocomealive abouttocomealive Now 82%

    Recently learned it's actually "Eagles", not "The Eagles". (For example, take a look at the album covers. There are also documentaries in which they talk about it.)
    But even the band themselves will use "the" when it grammatically makes sense. So confusing.

  • What are the rules you set for yourselves when puzzling?
  • abouttocomealive abouttocomealive Now 100%

    I've done one of the escape puzzles. The concept is pretty neat.. like an escape room in jigsaw format. You make the puzzle, and the picture has a couple of things in it that you need to solve. The idea really spoke to me, as I really enjoy escape rooms. But unfortunately I didn't quite follow their logic. So it was hard to solve.

    Are you familiar with "wasgij puzzles"? Those are puzzles where the box art is just a hint and the actual puzzle image is "what the people in the box art are seeing" or "what happens a few moments from now", there are a few variations. So you don't really know what the image will be.

    Been really enjoying Palia lately. I like all the little quests and the emphasis on gathering, crafting, farming, etc. And really enjoy the absence of any sort of combat. Are there any other MMO's like that?

    The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
