Scalpel. Blood bucket. Priest. Next patient!
Had this same thing happen to me in a very small apartment. Not everyone has an option to remodel or choose an apartment big enough for this not to be an issue. Sometimes you’re just stuck with a shitty design.
613·1 month agoThe Soviets had promised at Yalta to enter the war in the Pacific within 3 months of the war ending in Europe. And they did launch an attack on Manchuria at 3 months to the day. Hardly feet dragging.
In fact, them being about to launch the attack, was one of the deciding factors on Truman dropping the nukes on Japan. He wanted to prevent the Soviets fron capturing territory that they would be reluctant to give up in the end. And he also knew that the USSR entering the war in the pacific would be what really pushed Japan to surrender. He didn’t want to lose the opportunity to show off the new toys to scare the Soviets.
The birds are in misery. I don’t think they sing, they just screetch in pain.
21·2 months agoThere are three things which come to my mind which I consider excellent advice:
First, girls, don’t smoke–that is, don’t smoke to excess. I am seventy- three and a half years old, and have been smoking seventy-three of them. But I never smoke to excess–that is, I smoke in moderation, only one cigar at a time.
Second, don’t drink–that is, don’t drink to excess.
Third, don’t marry–I mean, to excess.

I think you need to add in the concept of ‘confidental’ as well to this. Your address isn’t a secret, but you don’t tell somone on the internet, even a ‘friend’ on the internet, where you live.

Also he will chew up any paper or cardboard that he can get to.
You got a link to your source on that?
Merriam-webster says mousquet came from the Old Italian moschetto meaning a small artillery piece. It’s also a term for a male sparrow hawk. Which there was a traditio of naming weapons after animals.

The Wikipedia page for musketeer says this:
The Musketeers of the Guard were a junior unit, initially of roughly company strength, of the military branch of the Royal Household. They were created in 1622 when Louis XIII furnished a company of light cavalry (the “carabiniers”, created by Louis’ father Henry IV) with muskets.

So the term Musketeer comes from the fact that they are armed with muskets. I cant find anything about a mousquet being a place on the belt to hold stuff.
Was it this episode of the X-files?

Mulder and Scully are investigating a girl’s alien abduction. Her little brother is watching static on TV and writing out binary on sheets of paper. Later, the pages are laid out on the floor in a big square. Scully goes up the stairs and looks down, revealing the pages were and image of the kid’s abducted sister.
