Not, unfortunately

Those are the ones! It’s quite a distinctive word so must have stuck in my head!

Amazing, thank you for that. There’s so much that’s fascinating in linguistics!

Of course German has a word for it! I did some bee research a long while back and we used to stick a tiny bit of numbered card on bees to track them. That has a German word as well, something like opalithplatchen.

What kind of language has a separate word for a tiny bit of numbered card that you stick on a bee?

It’s one of the many ways I know that as a species we’re fucked

My old neighbour had one of those kebab shop bug zapper lights which she hung outside and ran all day and all night. I couldn’t sit out because the sound of insects being disassembled was too much for me to cope with.

Wait, I thought if you googled Google it broke the internet?

Been playing Slice and Dice mainly, simple and fits into everything else that’s going on in life. This week I beat it on hard mode, just the once but that’s more than ever before!

Find out if you’re going to be “raisin” some little’uns

Fake news. This is a fossil chip that these men dug up. Chips back in the Doracic era could grow much bigger due to the higher oxygen content of the air at the time.

In the UK we still use Tories as a nickname for the conservative party, one of the two main parties in our political system and a kind of pound store republican party. They do indeed still feign royalism when it suits their purposes, some things never change.

If it turns out in a few years time that Russia leant on Iran to lean on various Middle East actors to stir up trouble at that exact point to distract from Ukraine, you can colour me unsurprised.

God I love Wildermyth.

I’m currently in mourning because in the final play of the final chapter of my last campaign, my top level fighter got hit with compulsion, killed one of my mages, and my other fighter and then died herself. She left just one character, her wife, to bury the dead and appreciate the phryhic victory.

Doctor: Great news! We don’t need to use needles for your vaccination any more!

Patient: That’s fantastic, but what’s with the jump leads?

I do usually do that when they get into a game, watch some YouTube and try to skill up a bit! This one seems super complex though.

Exactly! I know it will make sense eventually!

A couple of people have mentioned ARAM so I’ll take a look. As with a lot of these games, I find assimilating information at speed is not my forte!

I’m currently playing turn based RPG, Wildermyth, if you want an idea how fast my mind goes!

I played Heroes of the Storm, back in the day, and really enjoyed it, it didn’t feel as complex as league did. I was similarly bad at it though!

I played (and lost) 3 games, no-one said or typed anything at all that I could see, though that may be an artefact of a super low elo game?

Sorry should have been more clear, I meant the one inside the battle, when you can buy items to help you in the game. Haven’t got as far as working out if you can pay to get better items on that list!

My lad has been pretty calm about playing it, and most other games but I’ll look out for the behaviour and language, thanks
