This practice actually goes all the way back to (at least) the Roman Republic, where the carts full of produce and other goods were normally only allowed within the city itself at night. :eng101:

It also meant you really wanted to get home before the sun went down to avoid getting run over by someone's grain shipment.

Roman dashcams would have been a hell of a thing.

You can filter threads by icon on these forums. I'd never clicked on that bar before!

I remember a mod once talking about how it's important as people actually use that to filter what threads they read. It seemed like such a strange concept given the arbitrary nature of thread icon choices.

That Mike Patton was wearing a Mr Bungle shirt in the FNM Epic film clip. The amount of times I watched that clip as a kid and somehow either never noticed or has long since forgotten that I knew is crazy.

are probably 2 good places to start. These are fan film clips but are also really f'n good.

Bungle gets a bit strange though so don't be surprised if you're not into them by the time you find girls of porn or my rear end is on fire.

Sort of relevant to this thread: a friend of mine in college was really into Mr. Bungle and had somehow never even heard of Faith No More until I brought them up, even though FNM had far more commercial success.

This is kind of impressive. Mr Bungle is definitely a niche band and if you liked them you almost certainly would have been listening to FNM too.

Henchman of Santa posted:

It's probably just a result of modern music consumption. We weren't alive when Epic was a hit and I could see how someone would find Mr. Bungle in the late 2000s by just looking for weird music on the internet. He's a big System of a Down fan and people throw Mr. Bungle comparisons at them a lot.

Has your friend listened to Zappa yet? If they liked Bungle there is a solid chance that Zappa is something they need to check out too.

ne: Faith No More started 40 years ago.

To be fair there's so many bug species in existence that we don't even have an educated guess as to the number. You can probably make an entire biology career just studying bugs in a single county.

This problem is being solved as we speak though and soon we'll have a definitive answer on the number of bugs. It will be zero as we've destroyed the environment

Meghan Trainor is not, in fact, "all about that bass, no trouble".

I thought it was "no trouble" like an augmented "no worries". Like, "don't even worry about it, it's no trouble at all". I thought it was new cool way of saying "I'm all about that bass, so much so that I don't even remotely give a gently caress".

It's very much a song about having a big booty and small tiddies.

It's not about shipping, it's that their website is designed from the ground up to stick your computer with hundreds of tracking and advertising cookies, and they can't be bothered (or aren't able) to change it to not default to tracking their visitors all over the web and selling their info to obscure multi-million-dollar marketing companies. So it's easier to just block visitors from Europe altogether.

Presumably there's also a slight hope that if they make life hard for Europeans and blame it on "those Brussels bureaucrats and their regulations" rather than their own naked greed, the people of Europe might be inclined to try and get the GDPR weakened or revoked so they can carry on as they have been without worrying about it spreading to the states.

Given that Google just got hit with another antitrust thing in Europe, this one for $1.7B it might be a while before their image gets cleaned up.

EU also has the universal service thing going on so you have a right to internet access. Using your market dominance to wall people out of the freedom to choose how they accessed that internet is what landed them in trouble.

How old were you when you figured out that the reason they don't want pregnant women in their third trimester to go on planes isn't that there are specific health risks, but that they don't want to have to deal with it in case they go into labor?

Because I'm in my early 40s and I was today old.

I would call going into labour mid flight as a health risk in its own right.

Started looking up what happens to your citizenship if you are born in international waters / air space and it seems it's very complicated.

wikipeedia posted:

In addition to the question of a child's citizenship, there is also a question of how to report "Place of Birth" for children born in transit. US State Department guidance instructs that a child born in international waters should have their place of birth listed as "AT SEA", while those born in the territorial waters of any country would list the name of that country. A child born in flight in a region where no country claims sovereignty would list their place of birth as "IN THE AIR".

Given how hard it is to fly as you get close to giving birth it's no wonder the airyan nation is dying out.

Ever heard of Milford Sound in New Zealand? It's not a sound, it's a fjord. Sounds are formed from rivers and are V shaped while fjords are U shaped. But the dude who named it didn't know the geologic history of the island and just assumed it was a sound because there's no ice there now.

That's your bonus geography lesson of the day thanks for reading
