A hairdresser with zero archaeological completely changed our understanding of Roman hairstyling tools because she tried reproducing hairstyles on Roman statues.
She couldn’t replicate the styles so she started going through Roman manuscripts using Google Translate to find references to tools. She discovered that Roman’s used bone needles to weave hairstyles like fabric…. Something Latin scholars with zero knowledge of hair styling missed
what do y’all know about my man Joe is Hungry. each video has no less than 10 camera angles and he buys 3 of everything to check consistency. he’s actually my hero
The DMV was where I suddenly became aware of how stark the IQ gap actually is in practice.
I went to ask a simple question. My first iteration was this, verbatim:
“The roads are covered in ice, so I know it’s not happening right now, but I wanted to ask about motorcycle road tests. You have to have a motorcycle to do the test, but you can’t buy one in this state without the motorcycle endorsement on your license. So, how does that work?”
First answer, verbatim: “Well… we can’t do them in winter.”
It took five increasingly condescending rephrasings to get an answer and I was so stunned by the experience that I can’t even recall the answer.
This incredibly ugly interface is specifically designed to cope with the fact that the DMV is a jobs program for the medically retarded.
Doom has pieces of the actual True Cross itself in his armor in case Dracula jumps him.
Magneto could only dream of being that well prepared for anything.
This person submitted a FOIA request to his City for HIS OWN LICENSE PLATE (Flock Data) and was DENIED due to "privacy concerns."
I REPEAT: When a man requested FLOCK FOOTAGE of HIS OWN CAR, the CITY claimed it was a PRIVACY VIOLATION and DENIED his request.
So Flock can SPY on you in a mass surveillance state but YOU cannot even see YOUR OWN data or surveillance footage of YOU YOURSELF.
Make it make sense.
