We Also Figured Out—the Hard Way—that The Ancients Probably Cut Each Layer Of Linen To The Proper

We also figured out—the hard way—that the ancients probably cut each layer of linen to the proper shape before gluing them together. For our first linothorax, we glued together 15 layers of linen to form a one centimeter-thick slab, and then tried to cut out the required shape. Large shears were defeated; bolt cutters failed. The only way we were ultimately able to cut the laminated linen slab was with an electric saw equipped with a blade for cutting metal. At least this confirmed our suspicion that linen armor would have been extremely tough. We also found out that linen stiffened with rabbit glue strikes dogs as in irresistibly tasty rabbit-flavored chew toy, and that our Labrador retriever should not be left alone with our research project.

What good is sitting Alone in your room? Come hear the music play Life is a cabaret, old chum Come to the cabaret

[...]

What goods permitting Some prophet of doom? To wipe every smile away Life is a cabaret, old chum So come to the cabaret

[...]

Start by admitting From cradle to tomb It isn't that long a stay

Life is a cabaret, old chum It's only a cabaret, old chum And I love a cabaret...

~Cabaret, from Cabaret

To anyone considering not voting because of the Palestinian genocide, I have this to ask:

How many Palestinian people do you think you're helping by laying back and inviting the GOP to crush you under foot? Self flagellation didn't cure The Plague, and it won't fix this situation either.

If you don't like the idea of voting for Harris, I doubt I'll be able to change your mind, but consider this: 468 congressional seats out of a total 535 are up for re-election THIS NOVEMBER. You want to make the government start actually representing the will of the people? Start there.

We're living in frightening times, and apathy is a very comfortable state of being, but you need to act. If you don't, who will?

Triangle factory edit where the first panel the worker says "a circle?? in the triangle factory??" and panel two shows a close up of their face and the sphere, which is revealed to be a 3D model which is composed entirely out of triangles.

A variation of the "pondering the orb" meme, in which the wizard's orb is placed alongside several triangles, as in the triangle factory meme.

Another good set of triangleposts, courtesy of SteinMakesGames

And honestly, I like the idea of rewarding my things for helping me. It might help me to better appreciate the world around me.

And maybe my phone should be rewarded for connecting me to the greater world (email, text, Google, bus navigator) by getting to sleep more often... instead of having me hate it.
