I have seen the picture before, but it wasn’t until now that I figured out the Helmholtz double entendre.
Helmholtz resonation is a way to enhance certain frequencies by blowing air into a cavity shaped to resonate with the desirable frequencies, named after German scientist Hermann von Helmholtz.
Helm means helmet in German. Holtz means wood in German (nice name: wooden helmet?) but in most other languages it resembles the word “hold” making this a helmet held Helmholtz resonator. Say it fast.
The purpose is literally described as both.
It’s at the end of the article.
Okay, look at my contraception.
“Thanks in advance” has changed meaning.
It used to mean: “I appreciate your effort into this, no reply needed”.
It now means :“Fuck you if you don’t do this, and I expect this done without complaint.”

Fuck that, but also notice “Ukraine is not Ukraine anymore”. This is a dangerous part of propaganda.
People will rage against the headline and who knows if he will eventually back track on that, but he already sold the underlying message without any serious risk of backlash.

And February 29 doesn’t happen on years ending in 00 unless the year ends in 000.
That’s not correct. Centuries are not leap years, unless they’re divisible by 400 (not 1000). So, 2400 will be a leap year, but 3000 will not.
What the thing with Swedish lutefish in Ukraine? I’ve seen several videos of soldiers attempting to eat surströmning as a dare.
I have discussed the need for me to nap after work with my wife… At first she didn’t understand why I should skip the homely duties,.but after explaining my drinking habits just to stay awake, and her own schedule and habits looking the same, we have agreed that we all need a fucking nap. Just 40+ y/o things…
It’s meta-ironic. Not that the post is irony, but his actions are.
What is the meaning of irony? a situation in which something which was intended to have a particular result has the opposite or a very different result
Wake-up grogginess is a universal thing for any being with a brain. Even insects (probably).
However most animals have more natural sleeping patterns which includes a whole lot of light napping which won’t cause drowsiness in the same degree. That’s how a dog can also go right from sleeping to barking out the window in less than a second, when it’s only sleeping lightly.
So, when we are amused by a sleep-drunken dog, it’s because it reminds us of the result of our own socially adapted and unnatural sleep cycle and relate it to our own sick experience.
Drowsiness from sleeping can also be a sign of dehydration, so make sure to to get enough water for you and your best friend.

I don’t ever use the start menu for anything. I can’t be bothered to look through that mess.
Instead I press the windows key and type the first few letters of whatever I need, unless it’s already stickied to the bar. It’s fewer key presses than clicking through the start menu. I suppose that still counts as opening the start menu, even if I don’t use the actual menu structure.
I also use the windows + arrow keys to toss windows around the multiple screens. It has a lot of other purposes, like creating extra desktops etc, which I admittedly never use.
It’s a useful button for sure, but it does get a little overwhelming when combined with shift ctrl or alt . I can’t possibly remember all the uses, but I have the most commonly used on muscle memory.
Sounds like a Tesla model or one of Elon’s kids.
Yes. There’s a character in the book named Helmholtz Watson.
I don’t think Helmholtz is a first name in reality though, but I’ve seen worse.
I used to have a teacher named Dethleff Dethleffsen, so I suppose anything is possible.
